What is it? A small, FAST and easy to use Java ORM solution for Android SQLite database. Currently being used across projects from Enterprise to Open Source. The framework is made with intention to not only be easy to setup and Read more…
Annotations are very helpful tool while programming in Java. It is a alternative to the traditional XML based configurations. Spring has picked it up early and I must admit quite beautifully.
In case you are working on something and want to use annotations for your code, here is a small guide; it will definatly make your code look clean and also will kick off the trouble of reading XMLs.
For simplicity, lets create a mock of reading column name and its value, similar to JPA.

Here, we would be extending / simplifying our server that we had made in our last post here.
Objectives –
Off late I have seen many people struggling with creating a static Node server, also there have been questions like “How to have static & Dynamic files served by Node”. So here I have a fully functional server that can serve both static as well as dynamic files. Off course there is no need as there are many frameworks that can take care of these things. But always good to do things on your own to learn a new language or as we say Reinventing the wheels.
Below is the server that decides what content to serve based on URL. I have used /static/ to mark static content from URL pattern. That is any URL having this pattern would be considered static and would be served from file system.

Before we kick start Node application lets start by creating a MongoDB database and credentials. Though creating database, could have been achieved by using Node, but that would not provide us with user & password. And I believe no one would want their database to be accessible to everyone. 😀
I hope you have got MongoDB installed on your machine, just start up the server and open command prompt.
>mongo
MongoDB shell version: 2.0.6
connecting to: test
>use supaldubey
switched to db supaldubey
>db.addUser('supal', 'key')
If you are looking for a “Hello World!” example, I am sorry, you have landed to a wrong page, for hello World, your best bet is the Nodejs site.
Lets just have a brief discussion on what Node (Developers kinda like this name than Nodejs) really is. Node is a platform based on Google’s high performance (& open source) V8 Java script engine, if you are a “Geek” you must have read about it as Chrome uses it as well. Node being build on the Javascript engine, provides a JS like environment for Server side development. Yes, you read this right. Node is Server side Javascript framework.

In this post, we would be creating a project with Spring MVC, Spring Security & hibernate. This can be very handy in case you need to jump start new development / PoC.
Download and place all these Jars in your library.
Wait, there’s more!
Spring being one of the most customizable framework, provides an ability to plug in a custom view resolver.
Assume if the web application uses a particular JSP for festive time, having links or logic for some offers while other is vanila JSP page rendering response. I will demonstrate you how to achieve smooth transition in JSPs without messing up your controller return values and thus code release.
I will be using the code base from my previous example here.

So what is Spring MVC ?
Spring MVC is the web component of Spring’s framework apart from Spring WebFlow. Opposed to WebFlow which provides “flow” of the application MVC is more basic and robust implementation of MVC architecture. It provides a rapid development environment by easy integration with spring for enterprise applications. The flexible design of Spring enables Spring MVC to be highly configurable.

Java provides several ways of instantiating objects / classes. One of the most interesting features being blocks.
Java gives you an option to create two types of blocks –
Initializer blocks popularly known as Instance initializers are used to do something when an Object is created. Simple program below demonstrates a block :
