ICEfaces and Google Translate
Globalization has had an enormous impact on our lives and cultures. As a
result, translation is becoming an increasingly important tool to enhance
understanding between cultures. Organizations try to use Web technologies with
different languages, scripts, and cultures, and developers search for new
technologies that will help them create efficient applications as quickly as
possible. Fortunately, JavaServer Faces (JSF) simplifies life for application developers, making it
possible for them to focus on the view without needing to know the underlying
markup or scripts. ICEfaces, an integrated Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (Ajax)
application framework, enables Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application developers to easily create and deploy thin-client,
rich Internet applications in pure Java code. This tutorial describes how to develop Web applications using
JSF with the translation option.

JiBX 1.2, Part 1: Java code to XML schema
XML schema definitions are the basis for many types of data exchanges, including most forms of Web services. But XML Schema is a complex standard, and most tools for creating and modifying schema definitions are not as powerful or easy to use as those for working with Java code. The new features of JiBX 1.2 let you start from Java code and easily generate quality schema definitions to match your data structures. You can then use the schemas directly, whether you use JiBX data binding or not.

JiBX 1.2, Part 2: XML schema to Java code
Code generation from XML schema definitions is widely used for all types of XML data exchange, including Web services. Most data-binding tools rigidly structure generated code based on the schema, even aspects of the schema that may be irrelevant to your application. JiBX 1.2 generates cleaner code by doing a better job of interpreting the schema and eliminating unnecessary class clutter. It also provides extensive customizations for the generated code, including customizations for easily eliminating unnecessary components of the schema.

Drive development with easyb
A disconnect between the stakeholders who define requirements and the developers
who implement them has long plagued software development. In recent years, frameworks
based on dynamic languages and domain-specific languages (DSLs) have tried to bridge
the stakeholder-developer gap by making code read more like normal language. This
tutorial shows how easyb -- which provides a more natural DSL that is closely attuned to stakeholders -- helps developers and stakeholders collaborate effectively.

Customize JAX-RPC Web services and clients with advanced tools
This tutorial takes you beyond the basics of the JAX-RPC and shows how to customize your JAX-RPC Web services and clients with the help of Apache Axis. On the client side, you can autogenerate much of the code required to connect with new JAX-RPC Web services, focusing your time on the interactions themselves rather than on routine Web service calls. On the server side, you can add additional options, limit the methods you expose, and restrict parameters you'll accept. All of this is possible with a little customization and a deeper understanding of the Apache Axis toolset.

Build a RESTful Web service
Representational state transfer (REST) is a style of designing loosely coupled applications that rely on named resources rather than messages. The hardest part of building a RESTful application is deciding on the resources you want to expose. Once you've done that, using the open source Restlet framework makes building RESTful Web services a snap. This tutorial guides you step-by-step through the fundamental concepts of REST and building applications with Restlets.

Build an RPC service and client using JAX-RPC
Remote procedure calls (RPCs) are the precursors to modern Web services
that are based on the Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) or Representational State
Transfer (REST). Because all of the Java platform's Web service APIs are built on the concepts introduced in RPC, understanding the Java APIs for XML-Based RPC (JAX-RPC) is an almost mandatory step for writing efficient and effective Web services in the Java language. This tutorial takes you through getting and installing JAX-RPC, configuring it, and building a server-side RPC receiver and a simple client-side application.

Locate specific sections of your XML documents with XPath, Part 2
Part 1 of this tutorial gave you a foundational understanding of XPath. Using slash notation, wildcards, unions, and simple text, you learned how to locate elements and attributes anywhere within an XML document. However, sometimes you need more than just matching based on the name of a node. Predicates give you advanced and refined searching capabilities, allowing you to evaluate the values of attributes and the parent and child nodes of a targeted element. Rather than find a wider node set and refine or filter that set programmatically, you can add predicates to your XPaths to find exactly the nodes you want.

Locate specific sections of your XML documents with XPath, Part 1
XML is a data format concerned primarily with compatibility and flexibility. But
as useful as XML is, it's limited without the abilities to find specific portions of a
document quickly and to filter and selectively locate data within a document. XPath
provides the ability to easily reference specific text, elements, and attributes within
a document -- and with a fairly low learning curve. Additionally, XPath is key to many other XML vocabularies and technologies, such as XSL and XQuery. This tutorial will teach you the fundamentals of XPath, including all of its various selectors and semantics, in an example-driven and hands-on manner.

Spot defects early with Continuous Integration
Continuous Integration (or CI) is a process that consists
of continuously compiling, testing, inspecting, and deploying source code. In
many Continuous Integration environments, this means running a new build
anytime code within a source code management repository changes. The benefit
of CI is simple: assembling software often greatly increases the
likelihood that you will spot defects early, when they still are
relatively manageable. In this tutorial, a companion to his series In pursuit of code
quality, Andrew Glover introduces the fundamental aspects of Continuous Integration and steps you through how to set up a CI process using best-of-breed open source technologies.

Use Apache Derby in your OpenLaszlo applications, Part 2: Storing and embedding data
Since OpenLaszlo's open source announcement, many developers have been using OpenLaszlo to create user-friendly rich Internet applications. Many of these applications require a database solution to have dynamic data fed to them. Because OpenLaszlo runs on Apache Tomcat by default, which supports JavaServer Pages (JSP) and servlets (Java), Apache Derby is an excellent database to use because it can be embedded in such applications and because Derby is written in pure Java code. In this tutorial, you'll build a management interface to the online shopping console created in Part 1. You'll also allow orders to be written to the database and enable management to edit, delete, and add new items to the database via the OpenLaszlo user interface (UI).
