Integrating Grails and Maven

by rus

I’ve started investigating Grails for some projects and have been making some good headway and I like to use Maven for everything as it’s amazing, and generating projects is easy.

Python support for SSL and HTTPS is not installed

by rus

I wanted to give Google’s new Go language a try which requires checking out the source code with Mercurial. Mercurial was installed from ports on my Mac with sudo port install mecurial But checking out the code threw an error.

google-apis-mavenized does not compile

by rus

I need to write some backup software for our hosted Google Apps, so as we’re a Java shop I’m going to be using the Java API. Also we’re heavy users of Hudson and Maven so want to get the checked out source building with that. There is a Google Code project called google-apis-mavenized which looks […]

by rus

I’m really trying to get in to this whole Java web development frame of mind, as it’s a bit of fun, a bit of a giggle, and it’s massive in this area of the world! So obviously my first port of call was dusting off Eclipse and kicking out a HelloWorld style Java servlet! I […]

Nexus on Tomcat 5.5 on Ubuntu Hardy

I’m trying out this Continuous Integration fun at the moment. My end game is to get Hudson, Maven and Nexus working together to continuously build and run unit tests against code, which then gets turned in to Deb packages.

Apache2 with SSL and Tomcat5.5 on Ubuntu

One of the newer features to our site is an access control mechanism to force specific paths to only be delivered over SSL when our customers have particularly sensitive data. We already use Apache2 with mod_jk to talk to the Tomcat5.5 instance running our app so the only part left is to enable SSL! First […]

Restoring Vista personal folders

by rus

I accidently deleted my Pictures personal folder on my Vista laptop earlier and was stuck trying to recreate it. If I created a new folder and called it Pictures then it would turn in to a file, if I copied an existing folder and then renamed it to Pictures it, once again, would turn in […]

Atom feeds with PHP 5 Dom and XSL

by rus

All blogs require silly amounts of feed generators, right? And this is a silly blog so requires a silly generator. The entire site is written using PHP5, and my automagic ‘datahandler’ activepage concept creates an XML document using DOM that then uses XSL as a templating engine, so I figured it wouldn’t be too hard […]

PHP Java Bridge in Ubuntu Gutsy with Lucene

by rus

The php/java bridge it a pretty awesome little protocol that basically lets us use java classes inside our own PHP applications! This lets you harness the awesome power of all the Java libraries that exist, including the popular Lucene search engine library. I referenced two excellent blog entries here and here whilst implementing Lucene search […]
