As I have posted before we are using XFire to implement our web service. Unfortunately, we are running into some serious issues with the framework, so we decided to look after another implementation. Since XFire is no longer supported by the community (or at least at a very low profile) and ‘replaced’ by CXF, we [...]

As I posted before here I am using Quartz scheduler to schedule some batch jobs. It seemed to work fine but now while we were testing our application it appeared Quartz was showing some weird behaviour. I have scheduled 3 jobs, each with it’s own trigger in one scheduler. However, 2 of the jobs are [...]

Last week I discovered a piece of code in our project that didn't use Spring yet. It was the piece of code that used JMS to access some JBoss queues. Since we did use Spring everywhere in our code where it was possible, I decided to rewrite this piece so it also uses Spring (and [...]
