Seam 2.0.1 CR1
You may have thought we'd be taking it easy after our big Seam 2.0 release a few weeks ago, but we've been hard at work getting ready for 2.0.1. It's almost ready, so we're releasing CR1 today. (download release notes docs)
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.
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.
I'm proud to report that we released JBoss Developer Studio 1.0 (formerly known as Red Hat Developer Studio) earlier today.
A quick update for those who like living on the edge ;-)
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/>. The only built-in implementation we shipped with Seam 1.x and 2.0 was based on JCaptcha, but you could easily extend it and do your own question/answer thing. 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 :)
