The Angular Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with Angular. You'll learn how to develop a bare-bones application, test it, and
deploy it. Then you'll move on to adding Bootstrap, Angular Material, continuous integration, and authentication.
Spring Boot is a popular framework for building REST APIs. You'll learn how to integrate Angular with Spring Boot and use security best practices like HTTPS and a content security policy.

The JHipster Mini-Book is a
guide to getting started with hip technologies today: Angular, Bootstrap, and Spring
Boot. All of these frameworks are wrapped up in an easy-to-use project called JHipster.
This book shows you how to build an app with JHipster, and guides you through the plethora of tools, techniques and options you can use. Furthermore, it explains the UI and API building blocks so you understand the underpinnings of your great application.

I disabled the text-resizing feature this morning as I've received more complaints than praise. If you're still getting it, Shift+Reload. I may add it back in someday, but only with a little more testing first. I apologize for the inconvenience some users experienced.
Windows on Mac hardware?! I think this is the best thing that could have happened to Connextix. IMO, Virtual PC was an unusable slow ass dinosaur. Hopefull M$ can improve it - I'd love to have a fast Windows XP window on my Mac. Why not have the best of everything? Throw a little Red Hat on there, and give me 2GHz and I'll be Apple's biggest fan.
The Rocky Mountain Software Symposium definitely looks like a good time. I'll be attending with bells on. Any other bloggers making the trip? It's about a 10 minute drive for me. ;-) Gordon writes:
The Rocky Mountain Software Symposium not only looks like an awesome speaker lineup, it looks like a large number of bloggers are speaking: Ted Neward, James Duncan Davidson, Erik Hatcher, and Bob Lee. I've submitted my training req!
The sessions look awesome, should be a good time.
I'm sure you've heard of the new ready.gov website by now. I found out on one of the first pages that it's written using JSPs. I like the site design too - looks good. I don't know that I'll read it, but it's good to see such a professional looking site.
Here's something that I need: A way to convert JSP 1.2 pages to JSP 2.0 pages. Basically, this only really involves changing all the <c:out value="${...}" /> tags to be simply ${...}. I have a couple motivations for this. The first is that Wrox wants struts-resume and security-example to be written using JSP 2.0 (it is a JSP 2.0 book after all). However, I'm afraid that most developers won't be able to use 2.0 for quite some time, considering that the J2EE 1.4 (with JSP 2.0) won't be released until this summer. So I'd like a way to create a JSP 1.2 version and a JSP 2.0 version of my these applications from the same source code. What would be best - to write the source in JSP 1.2 and then parse it for <c:out /> tags and strip them accordingly? I'd rather write the source in JSP 2.0 and then add in the <c:out /> tags using Ant, since it'd be much simpler. Then again, I've already written a fair amount using JSTL with 1.2. Comments and suggestions are encouraged!
In the course of the past week, while editing my chapters, Word (XP) has crashed on me a number of times. Every time I've been able to get my work back and lost nothing more than a few minutes. I'm very impressed as I once lost 10 pages in college. As I was finishing up - running spellchecker at 1:00 this morning - I received the following error and I almost lost it. I had to click OK a number of times before it finally recognized it. Picture me sitting here going "no, No, NO!!" ;-)

ModelJ looks like an interesting tool if you're using Struts, EJBs and JBoss.
ModelJ is a RAD (Rapid Application Development) tool that uses code generation to create complete J2EE designs using the Struts and EJB frameworks. With ModelJ, you are only a few steps away from a complete application readily deployable to JBoss, the leading open-source J2EE Application Server. ModelJ uses proven design patterns to ensure a robust, easy-to-maintain design.
I received a report from a reader of this site that Opera 7 on Windows XP scrunches and crunches words together. I opened it up on my machine, and sure 'nuff, they were right. I figured setting the font-size back to its default would fix the problem, by clicking on the "R" button on the top left - but none of the buttons seems to work on XP. I tried it on Windows 2000 and everything works fine. Hmmm, damn Opera. Oh well, I have a upcoming project to make a web app Opera 7-compliant, so I'm guessing I'll find all kinds of quirks in the near future. An easy fix for this problem would be to delete your cookies in Opera, but you actually have to download the Opera File Explorer to do this - what a pain!
Carlos's post about Java Service Wrapper might be just what I'm looking for. This site seems to have stabalized a bit thanks to Keith's Perl script that checks for OutOfMemory errors (I can see that Tomcat gets restarted a few times a day). I think it's Roller, but I'm running a November version of it, so that's probably the issue. I plan on upgrading this weekend and then we'll see what happens. In the meantime, I'm going to let Keith know about JSW, seems like a very useful tool. Thanks for the tip Carlos!
I received the following e-mail from Berny, the author of StrutsCX.
Thanks Matt for hosting a StrutsCX sample. As the author of StrutsCX I do have some news for you: There is a new release with support of FOP/PDF, client side XSLT, XSL pipelineing and included Struts Validator. Check out http://it.cappuccinonet.com/strutscx.
Would be great if you could update on the latest version. Would you mind if I put a link on the StrutsCX Homepage to the Demo?
Thanks,
Berny
I actually upgraded my demo site when I received his e-mail on Saturday, but didn't get around to returning his e-mail until today. I dig the Validator stuff - only seems to be server-side though.
