JBoss AS 6 Released with support for Java EE 6 Web Profile

By
In case you missed the announcement last week, JBoss AS 6.0 has been released for General Availability. JBoss AS 6.0 provides an fully certified implementation of the Java EE 6 Web Profile Specification (JSR-316).

So, what does this give to Java EE developers exactly? JBoss AS 6.0 is the latest in the line of community supported Java EE application servers. From the first milestone release to the final release of AS 6 has taken nearly a year of development and testing.

JBoss AS is easy to install (simply unzip it) and run requiring only a compatible JDK to run. Configuration and management of JBoss AS can be done either via the excellent web based Administration Console, via XML file manipulation (this is particularly useful for integration with Maven or Ant) or via the command line Twiddle tool.

The Java EE Web Profile was designed to provide developers with all the tools that they need to build Rich Internet Applications. The Web Profile Specification describes the profile as offering:

"a reasonably complete stack, composed of standard APIs, and capable out-of-the-box of addressing the needs of a large class of web applications."

The web profile mandates that the following APIs are available to developers:


  • Servlet 3.0
  • Java Server Pages (JSP) 2.2
  • Expression Language (EL) 2.2
  • Debugging Support for Other Languages 1.0
  • Standard Tag Library for Java Server Pages (JSTL) 1.2
  • Java Server Faces (JSF) 2.0
  • Common Annotations for the Java Platform
  • Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) 3.1 Lite
  • Java Transaction API (JTA) 1.1
  • Java Persistence API (JPA) 2.0
  • Bean Validation 1.0
  • Managed Beans 1.0
  • Interceptors 1.1
  • Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE Platform 1.0 (CDI) 1.0
  • Dependency Injection for Java 1.0

JBoss AS 6 can be downloaded from here.

A Simple Makefile for a GTK/GTKMM Project

By Anonymous
When compiling small applications, its fairly easy just to compile using g++ from the command line. If you’re compiling anything more complex than a single file, its probably easier to use a Makefile. This example Makefile demonstrates how to compile an application that uses the GTKMM library. NAME=my-app CFLAGS=-g -Wall -o $(NAME) GTKFLAGS=`pkg-config --cflags --libs gtkmm-3.0` SRCS=main.cc myapp.cc CC=g++ # Do all all: main # Compile main: $(SRCS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) $(SRCS) $(GTKFLAGS) # Clean clean: rm -f $(NAME) rm -f *.h~ rm -f *.cc~ rm -f Makefile~ rm -f *.glade~

Changing Default Search Provider in Firefox on Linux Mint

By
On Linux Mint, the default version of Firefox is installed and configured to allow the following search engines to be queried directly from the address bar: Yahoo! Startpage DuckDuckGo Wikipedia Mint defines these as the default available set of search engines based upon 3 criteria (funding to Linux Mint, privacy support and whether the search engine is non-commercial). Other search engines such as Google, Bing or Twitter, etc. can easily be added into the default version of Firefox however. To add a different search provider, browse to Search Engines At the bottom of the page, click on the icon of the requested search engine, then click on the ... button in the URL bar and select the Add Search Engine option. You then have the option to change the default search engine within Firefox preferences to your new choice.
