But from time to time I run into situations when things become more complicated. Consider the following example.We have a class Customer that has properties like name and address, but also a bunch of other things. We now want to test a method that populatesNiklas Lindholmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04544578240530008896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-539796055611923814.post-40524481775217518752007-01-20T21:01:00.000+01:002007-01-20T21:31:27.855+01:00Platform for Internet based desktop applicationsLately some people have been predicting that applications that are installed locally on a user's computer are on their way out and will be replaced by online applications. When someone wants to e.g. write a document he surfs off to his favourite word processing site instead of starting MS Word.There are obviously benefits with this approach.No need to install local copies and keep them updated Niklas Lindholmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04544578240530008896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-539796055611923814.post-46527952455133940652007-01-13T15:19:00.000+01:002007-01-20T16:50:41.381+01:00Configuring a webappOne thing I miss in J2EE webapps is a good way to configure the application outside the .war file. I want to be able to ship a .war file together with a properties file that the user can edit without having to unpack and re-pack the .war file. I also want to be able to deploy multiple instances of the same webapp in a container. Each having its own properties file.There are a number of ways for Niklas Lindholmhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04544578240530008896noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-539796055611923814.post-85416924217080137902006-12-30T00:30:00.000+01:002006-12-30T01:01:12.476+01:00Why WebMethods sucksThis is my very first blog post, ever. I feel I need to do some public complaining and get some thoughts out of my system that has been nagging me for a while. Maybe I'll continue to write some more posts, maybe even some positive ones. :-)The future is bright, the future is SOAIn the last project for my previous employer I was unfortunate enough to be doing some development in WebMethods.
