Gavin and I are talking at JavaOne about the various standardization efforts JBoss is leading at the moment around Seam and Hibernate Validator:
This is the second part of a series of blogs about Bean Validation. For a general introduction, read this entry first. This part focuses on constraint definition.
To make the feedback process on the specification draft more open, constructive and simple, we have opened a dedicated feedback forum.
This blog entry is a general overview of the Bean Validation specification. Future blog entries will follow and will dive into specific aspects of the specification.
Hibernate Search 3.0.1
It's been quite some time since the latest release of Hibernate Search, but since the code base has been fairly stable and bug free, we have been holding it until now. But there are some interesting features that could not wait anymore:
SpringSource's strategy
It has been interesting to follow the recent communications made by Rod Johnson as you can transparently read SpringSource's strategy. I wanted to blog about it during the last vacations but never fully finished the entry (they were vacations after all). Some elements are outdated now (including SpringSource acquiring covalent) but here it goes just refreshed with links.
There has been a couple of interesting blog entries about Hibernate Shards and data sharding / partitioning in the last few days (here and there). Both give a decent five / ten minutes overview of Hibernate Shards.
Max and I will be at JavaPolis next week. I don't know what Max is doing there but I will talk about Hibernate Search and JSR-303 Bean Validation, both talks on Thursday the 13th. Speaking of JSR-303, I have done a quick interview with Mark Newton on the topic: in a nutshell, it's shaping well and we hope to have a draft out in a month or so for you to review :)
