A RESTful Core for Web-like Application Flexibility - Part 1

By Tom Hicks and Randy Kahle

Representational State Transfer (REST) computing offers developers and applications a number of advantages, including simplicity and flexibility in running applications. The growing interest in REST demonstrates that it has the potential to address issues in building and maintaining applications through its use of abstraction of resources. Tom Hicks and Randy Kahle begin this series on RESTful computing with the surprising topic of binding.

Implementing Finite State Machines with Physhun and Spring

By Justin McCarter and Jim Ladd

Processes involving multiple steps that require decision points within and outside of each step can be inordinately complex to program. But this type of process modeling has long-established solutions in computing. This article by Justin McCarter and Jim Ladd, presents the Physhun project, a Spring-based framework for implementing complex processes through Finite State Machine models. Physhun provides finite State Model persistence and transaction management with synchronous or asynchronous behavior.

Introduction to m2eclipse

By Bruce Snyder, Tim O'Brien and Eugene Kuleshov

The Eclipse IDE is the most widely used IDE for Java development today. At the same time, Apache Maven continues to mature, and has grown to be the industry standard for creating extensible and reliable enterprise builds. The m2eclipse project provides support for Maven within the Eclipse IDE. It is a plugin which helps bridge the gaps between Maven and Eclipse. Read about how to use m2eclipse to integrate build management into your Eclipse environment.

Scaling Your Java EE Applications - Part 2

By Wang Yu

Java applications can be scaled vertically (on a single system), or horizontally (across multiple systems). But to do either, you have to understand all parts of the system and software. Not doing so could defeat the purpose of adding system resources or more systems. Wang Yu presents some surprising results of Java application scalability based on his experiences in a performance laboratory. The second installment of this series discusses scaling horizontally.
