Today is my first attempt at using SPEL. After a mighty struggle, I was able to conquer it! Background: I needed a year variable for some work on a jsp page. It’s not always defined. I know for our routable datasource, a default year is required in order for it to work. I wanted to [...]
Java concurrency – Multiple queue monitors

At work, I’ve implemented a queue monitor batch application. Due to business rule changes, it now needs to monitor two queues. Instead of creating another batch application, I really wanted to stick with the same application but just create two threads, each monitoring its own queue. However, the twist I need is to have the [...]

My Eclipse 3.6 froze today at startup. I think what I did was that I clicked on the shortcut a bit too fast and two instances of Eclipse started running at the same time. I got an error message for one saying “workspace in use”. I killed the one that showed the error message but [...]

After I started using JUnit 4, I really want Eclipse to automatically import org.junit.Assert.* statically for me. So when I do ctrl+space on methods like assertTrue, it will do: for me. I’ve figured it out for a while but I’ve been noticing it conflicting with my save action -> organize imports setting. I finally got [...]
Grails: I will not use you

After the cijug presentation on Grails, I’ve decided I will not use it. I know Grails is hot and cool but I don’t like it. It’s probably just a personal preference. Why don’t I want to use Grails It’s built on spring and hibernate, so why not just use them directly? It’s just adding another [...]
Eclipse: stop it from searching certain directories

It’s always annoying when you do a search (ctrl+h) in Eclipse and it produces results from directories you do not care about. In my particular case, the project’s ant build expands the built war files into a directory named target. Since this directory duplicates the files in the regular WebContent directory, often times I end [...]

A coworker and I were chatting regarding spring rowMappers and I did a little more research and found the following: Spring’s simpleJdbcTemplate deprecated methods with parameterizedRowMapper in spring 3. The class ParameterizedRowMapper is not deprecated. Spring’s jdbcTemplate however only has methods that take RowMapper<T> so it will continue to work with parameterizedRowMapper. But it seems [...]

Eclipse 3.6 toggle comment findings
Posted by: pureessence on: May 20, 2011
Despite of the usual convention of using ctrl+/, I found ctrl+shift+c is actually the way to go if you want it to work on everything. I care mostly about being able to toggle comment in the following file types: source code – comment with // or /* and */ block markup e.g. xml/html – comment [...]
