Smooks is a set of tools written in the Java programming language to assist you in parsing a variety of formats such as XML, CSV, fixed width formats and making the information accessible from your Java code. My interest in Smooks was related to the fact that it is one of the few open source projects which offer facilities for accessing data in EDI formats. In fact, Smooks might be the only actively-maintained open source project that offers this.
Following a break for Christmas, we are now planning the next Play Framework event, for software developers and technical managers. For details and registration, see http://playframework.eventbrite.com/
Codebase is a project hosting solution by aTech Media. It tries to be a complete solution, including repository hosting, issue and time tracking, wiki and discussion forum. We are currently considering it as a Gitorious replacement in the near future, and as a lightweight replacement for Jira and Confluence later.
Before Play, Java web frameworks were based on the Java Servlet API, the part of the Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) stack that provides the HTTP interface. The Play framework is unusual in that it does not use the Java Servlet API. However, what's really unusual is that there are not more such Java web frameworks that avoid the Servlet API, considering how terrible it is from a web development perspective.
Lunatech will be at the event Geo Freedom Day 2011. The event is cool because we have done GeoMap related development for our Logistics division in the past and want to continue monitoring the progress in the field.
Specifically, an interesting presentation will be about the work with the new Red programming language and the map libraries Champlain and OMS-GS-map.
The best way to introduce Play to an audience is to show them how it works in the kind of live-coding demo that lets people see for themselves how easy it is. Here is a Play 2.0 (Java) version of last year’s Play 1.x live coding script, in which you will code a simple but functional to-do list application, using Play 2.0, Java and Ebean.
Last week Willem-Jan Veen, senior developer at Lunatech Research, gave a presentation about Dutch official government publications in ODF at ODF Plugfest in Gouda
