A robust web application should not crash and die when the session times out. I guess we can all agree on that, but thanks to the stateless nature of HTTP and the usual hacks attaching session state onto that protocol, this is quite difficult to accomplish. Just search for session timeout
on Google. So here I am with my JSF/Seam/Ajax4JSF/jQuery application, trying to make it more robust.
JBoss Tools 2.0 GA goes final
Camera lost at JavaPolis
If anyone found a lonely Canon camera at JavaPolis yesterday then please hand it into the information desk or at the JBoss/Red Hat booth.
Tools QA at Seam In Action JavaPolis
Sitting in on the Seam In Action
talk with Pete Muir, Peter Hilton and Nicholas Leroux and thought that I could put more elaborate answers to the questions asked during this talk about the tooling.

The new Seam CAPTCHA is great
Seam offers some basic infrastructure for CAPTCHA creation and validation, so all you have to do if you want to add CAPTCHA validation to a form is add a single form field and show the picture with <h:graphicImage/>.

This is actually what I did and you can see my simplified math question CAPTCHA if you try to post a comment to this entry.
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 :)
One of my favorite feature in JBoss Tools is the Project Archives
which provides automatic and incremental archiving of arbitrary directories into a zipped archive (jar,zip,war,etc) or into an exploded directory. Usable for any development that wants hot and/or exploded deployment.
Business logic in templates
Stephan Schmidt says that people don’t get the difference between business and UI logic:
