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 sold the team on the idea of using a Wiki for a good project collaboration tool. I wanted to use SnipSnap because it looks good, but I noticed on it's Feature Matrix that there is no file upload. Shucks - that might be a show stopper. I'll probably end up using Very Quick Wiki.
I saw it a couple weeks ago, but now Erik appears to be updating it regularly. Just in case you didn't know - you can find it here. Erik is an Ant Guru and has written many cool Struts extensions (i.e. LookupDispatchAction, XDoclet integration). He's made my life a lot easier with his Ant wisdom and Struts goodies - thanks Erik.
Markus Kohler seems to think that Ant sucks. Personally, I love Ant, so I guess you could say I'm biased ;) I'm posting this in hopes that Erik Hatcher will see it and offer a rebuttal. I don't know that there is one, but I figured it's worth a try.
I upgraded this site to use Tomcat 4.1.17 in about 10 minute tonight. All I had to do was change my server.xml to use the proper ports for my ISP, and copy the MySQL JDBC driver to $CATALINA_HOME/common/lib. Nice and easy - short and sweet. My kinda software - "it just works."
Later: Tomcat seems to be running just fine, but I'm getting the following error in catalina.out. It doesn't seem to affect anything, so I'm not too worried. When running on Tomcat 4.0.6, I kept getting a ClassNotFound error for an hsql jdbc driver, and everything ran fine. I never even used or refered to the hsql driver was the wierd part. The error has been there since my very first post on August 1st.

I went to the kick-off party for my project tonight - too bad no one I'll be working with showed up! Oh well, everyone else that was there was very cool. Margaritas and nachos is always fun. I finally met the recruiter I've been working on the phone - and she's even cooler than she sounded on the phone. Apparently, there was a requirements meeting for the project on Monday. Doh! That would've probably been a good meeting to attend.
I heard that the hardest requirement will be parsing/reading Excel files, on a Unix box. I think the ol' POI project can come to the rescue for us.
The POI project consists of APIs for manipulating various file formats based upon Microsoft's OLE 2 Compound Document format using pure Java.
OLE 2 Compound Document Format based files include most Microsoft Office files such as XLS and DOC.
You just gotta love open source!
Need clustering for Tomcat? Check out the tomcat-javagroups project at SourceForge.
This project consists of a custom Tomcat 4 Manager class which enables session replication across Tomcat 4 instances using JavaGroups as the communication mechanism.
I ran across STRECL.COM today via the struts-user mailing list.
Just in time to get some coverage in my Struts chapter - that is, if it's any good ;-)
As predicted... (man are they quick!).
The Tomcat Team announces the immediate availability of Apache Tomcat 4.1.17 Stable. Tomcat 4.1.17 includes many bugfixes and performance tweaks over Tomcat
4.1.12. Please see the release notes for a complete list of the changes. [Download]
Important note: When upgrading from another Tomcat 4.x release, the Tomcat work directory must be cleared.
From watching the tomcat-dev mailing list, I'd expect a Tomcat 4.1.17 release either today or tomorrow. The website files have been updated in CVS to indicate this.
