NetBeans IDE Allows JDJ Contributing Editor to Build JSP Tag Library @ JAVA DEVELOPER'S JOURNAL

With the ever growing popularity of the Prototype JavaScript library, ... Jason Bell ... has created an alpha release of a JSP Tag library on sourceforge.net.

Called "prototaglib" it enables JSP developers to create the required AJAX calls to the Prototype library. It's similar to the Ruby On Rails way of doing things.
....
The taglib enables developers to create link or form based remote tags that call either servlet or jsp pages to populate the required div tags. There are also tags to update a div over a specific period of time.

Currently at an alpha release it is hoped that the community will aid in feedback and request features that can be worked on.

WUI - alternativ til JSP

ser jo lovande ut...

JSP development sucks

Let's face it: no two browsers support HTML, XHML, CSS or JavaScript consistently. Wasn't Java supposed to let you "write once, run everywhere"? Well today you can, and you don't have to use applets.

JSPs were great in the infancy of Web development in Java. Today, it's clear that they're the wrong tool for the job. They promote model-1 programming and offer very little reuse potential for the application programmer. Sure there's TAGLIBs. They're no silver bullet: they're performance hogs, they add new dependencies, new semantics and offer very poor reuse capabilities unless you're the author of the tag library itself.

java vs scriptspråk

jf tanken om å ha eit "kjerneverktøy" og skilja ut så mykje som mogleg av perifere, isolerte ting og tang, eller "add-ons"... (td å legga til info for mange på ein gong)

sjekk diskusjon om sterke og svake sider ved kompilerte språk vs skript-språk.

enter jruby, som køyrer på jvm...

javaBin - Sun adopterer JRuby

JRuby er en implementasjon av programmeringsspråket Ruby i java som gjør det mulig å kjøre ruby-programmer på en JVM, og som også gir muligheter for tett integrasjon mellom java og ruby-kode. JRuby vil fortsette under samme open-source lisens som tidligere.

estimates, uncertainty

aint that the truth...

early project estimates will always be wildly inaccurate

vindubytte med stil

frå Inge:

Denne var ganske så stilig, og funker godt i praksis med de maskinenen vi bruker på utvikling. Er en erstatning for windows Alt+Tab, og gir en grafisk oversikt over tilgjengelige vinduer. Har prøvd lignende løsninger før, og de var altfor trege, denne er såpass kjapp at den kan brukes.

java og skriptspråk

interessante tankar...
gjeld vel for ting som php, pearl, ruby også

The Snowtide Blog » Blog Archive » Working Together: Python/Java & Open Source/Commercial

In general, Java and Python don’t really mix. Their architectures, best-practices, object models, and philsophies are pretty divergent in a lot of ways. Because of this, you don’t often find them cohabiting peacefully.

However, there are significant advantages to be had by bringing these two environments together. Python is a really elegant language, and is very well-suited to whole classes of software development that are much more painful to tackle in Java. Java has its advantages as well: a very mature standard library, a huge array of third-party library support, fantastic development environments, and the backing of big players in IT. As always, there’s a right tool for each job, and sometimes Java works best, and sometimes Python works best, but a combination would truly be more than the sum of its parts.
