You can include the 67 mb embedded glassfish jar. Feels kinda sucky, but it's a quick workaround.

<dependency>
<groupid>org.glassfish.main.extras</groupid>
<artifactid>glassfish-embedded-all</artifactid>
<version>3.1.2</version>
<scope>provided</scope>
</dependency>

Your examples are littered with Unicode no-break spaces which aren't parsed properly with Maven when you copy+paste the example into ~/.m2/settings.xml.

Re: Using css webfonts in inkscape

This is an excellent idea but I can't seem to get it to work in Inkscape. My file loads ok in a browser but my file (and yours for that matter) don't seem to load in inkscape. I even tried stripping out your script bits in case that was the issue... no joy.

Re: Self-service architecture to avoid water-scrum-fall

Paul W. Homer — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:34:51 -0000

You have to be careful that you don't optimize your initial innovation speed at the expense of too much of your long-term innovation speed. I've seen far too many projects come out of the gate really fast, declare victory and then slam into a wall. Some overhead and coordination is necessary overhead and coordination, particularly if your horizon is longer than the next few months of development. A great whack of code is nothing more than a big pile of spaghetti if you haven't organized it in some way. Disorganization only gets worse, not better.

andrej — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:44:11 -0000

True, nothing is perfect. By having loosely coupled teams you will loose a bit of efficiency regarding coding. But you gain that efficiency by cutting away overhead and coordination. In my view, what you win is bigger than what you loose.

I think it is a very big win if every team understand their customer, and can prioritize on what the customer/user needs. You will gain a lot of innovation speed.

If you find functionality that is really useful for multiple teams, spin it off into a separate component, with a separate team.

Re: Self-service architecture to avoid water-scrum-fall

Paul W. Homer — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 11:26:28 -0000

Great post. One problem I've found with a lot of small teams is that depending on the architecture, teams often have to re-write the same basic code for themselves. That can be a significant amount of extra work (and the source of many integration bugs). The alternative, to have layers -- such as a 'core' team, a 'communications' team, etc. -- but this causes it's own issues with dependencies, scheduling and the rather high impact of deep changes (bugs tend to get frozen into the code). Either way, the architecture of the system mirrors the arrangement of the teams. And generally in the past, in areas of the system/development that have not been explicitly organized and structured, chaos has caused spaghetti, lots of bugs, excess testing requirements and a whole load of extra complexity (and sometimes the death of the project). Starting small and growing into the project has been the most effective approach I've seen, but these days people are far too impatient to wait for the project to scale up properly.

Paul.

Re: Software architecture, PHP and Javascript

andrej — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 03:52:26 -0000

I agree that most of the visual stuff that we used to do with javascript will be done using css3 and html5.

But i think that most of the user interface code, the controller part of MVC, and also the model part will be coded in javascript in the browser, instead of on the server. So expect the amount of javascript to actually increase instead of decrease, just for a different purpose.

Re: Software architecture, PHP and Javascript

Pcdiggs — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 07:34:30 -0000

As far as "web-based" software architecture, I think CSS3 and HTML5 are actually MORE significant than everything else combined. I believe web pages in the near future will consist of little to no script at all. Anything CSS3 has implemented that substitutes what only a script could do prior implements the effect as good, if not better (tooltips, transitions, etc.) Who knows; maybe even MS Windows will one day be virus free thanks to CSS3 and HTML5 (but I wouldn't bet on it).

Re: Jms request-reponse not responding in Mule

Claude Mamo — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 06:17:52 -0000

It's a workaround. This was fixed in Mule 3.2, that is, now you don't need to add the ReplyToPropertyRequestReplyReplier processor. The flow will automatically return the async reply.

Did you really read the article? Nobody is ranting about rapdily changing technology, just wondering what the best choice is...

Re: Software architecture, PHP and Javascript

Anonymous — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 14:36:43 -0000

No, I don't think so. This article is nothing but a set of assumptions to rant about the known fact that technology rapidly changes. If you want to stand on solid grounds, why don't you become a physicist? That science changes very rarely and still allows an unlimited number of research options. If you don't like the idea of being a theoretical physicist, why don't you become the experimental? Side note: since I've been studying at University, I've been unwillingly observing the problem-solving ability of most people can be summarized in one word as dubious.

Very true, aanbestedingen isn't improving the situation.

Re: 25 million euros wasted, project failed

Peter Paul — Mon, 28 Nov 2011 09:47:43 -0000

There is another interesting mechanism at work here called "aanbestedingen". In order to prevent overspending the feedback cycle between user and development team becomes even greater. In case of a change all kinds of contractual and rules for fair competition come into play. These make feedback and adaption even harder.

By the way my experience is that these government bodies use Prince 2 in name. They don't actual do or act as prescribed by Prince 2. Imho sticking to Prince 2 would raise the success rate of their projects.

I would value it even more if they would reduce the feedback cycle...
