JSF 1.2 : Project Woodstock Add/Remove Component Example

There have been a number of people who have asked me for example code on how to use Woodstock (Visual JSF) add/remove component examples. I have decided to post a proof-of-concept piece for people to use. It is using Woodstock 4.3 Build 7, but should work on 4.2 if you change the theme library to use 4.2 in the code.

Here is the code example: WoodstockAddRemoveComponentExample.

DZone™ GlassFish Application Server Refcardz™

Just finished examining the GlassFish Application Server Refcardz by Masoud Kalali. The reference card is very well done, but is targeted primarily at new administrators. The information contained on the card is in digestible well defined topics. It provides the Cliff Notes™ version of the installation and administration guides. It is perfect for new administrators who may need a quick reference on how to set up and administer GlassFish.

If you are a developer, or administrator who is using GlassFish for the first time; I would recommend it with 4/5 stars.

If you are a seasoned Glassfish developer, or administrator, I would give it 2/5 stars, only because of its limited usefulness.

Effective Tools and Techniques for the Java Developer - InformIT white paper

I just finished reading a white paper from InformIT. It is essentially excerpts from a number of books from well know authors like Joshua Bloch, and Kent Beck. The sections they included were good, but like all good things...they must come to an end.

The sections did not cover the topics in their entirety, and in most cases ended in the middle of a topic. It is a taste teaser. I will note that although you really can't accomplish much from the excerpts, it does give you a good feel for the books and authors.
