Web services integration patterns for Java applications using open source frameworks, Part 1: Implementing invoke patterns - There are four primary patterns for integrating Web services. In this first of a two-part series, we suggest ways to develop a service and client to invoke Web services for all four service end-point patterns, using popular open source frameworks. We discuss two of the patterns, request-response and one-way end-point, covering both document-style and RPC Web services invocation styles. The next article in the series will describe the other two integration patterns, solicit-response and notification. [IBM Java Dev.]

This is the first official release of what we are now calling the
"core." The core refers to the JSF 1.1 implementation as specified by
JSR-127. It has passed Sun's TCK and is considered to be 100% compliant
with the spec. http://myfaces.apache.org/

Sun is going to hand JINI over to Apache - JINI will be handed over to Apache, reflecting Sun's perception of a need to update and revitalize the technology. In addition, the web site for JINI will be updated to be more open and accessible for people not familiar with the space, starting with the elimination of the perception of a "gated community" due to the old licensing.

|>Web 2.0 Culture - In his blog Roman Mittermayr writes about Web 2.0 culture. What is Web 2.0 culture? Though it is about Web 2.0 and Ajax Roman wanted to look beyond this specific implementation technologies currently used to create web applications that utilize interconnections of webservices. This mix of Web2.0 and Ajax is what he terms 2.0 Culture. |>

|>Validate localized data with regular expressions - Data validation is a common chore in programming any user interface. The Java language's regular-expression support can make data validation easier. You can define a regular expression that describes valid data and then let the Java runtime see if it matches. But certain types of data have different formats in different locales. The ResourceBundle class lets you work with locale-specific data in an elegant way. This article shows how to combine the two techniques to solve a common data-entry problem. [IBM Java Dev.]

Is it good to have component Drag and Drop in your JSP Web Application (HTML). \\ The idea of having a visual editor at design or development time is good but having darg and drop in HTML application for a purpose other than prototyping IMHO is not a good choice.\\ Most of the current HTML visual editors uses the grid layout witch is againest the flow layout of the HTML pages.\\ Current visual editors cannot expect the dynamic behaviour of a JSP tag so it is easily to break the layout at run time (page view). \\ I (personaly) prefer to use a good __Text Editor__ with some enhanced features like intili-sense and tag completion other than a visual editor to gain all the control of the flow and layout of the page. \\
