Developing for Android

September 6th, 2010 devylon No comments

David Beach wrote a good article about Developing for Android. He mentioned various pitfalls when you are thinking about developing for the Android platform:

  1. No HIG. Humean Interface Guidelines
  2. Too many OS versions in the marketplace
  3. Too many different handsets in the marketplace
  4. The app market sucks
  5. Clunky consumer experience in the app market
  6. Android Apps don’t sell

Additional to that he’ s he also mentions the good parts. The article is worth reading.

Application-scoped resources in GlassFish 3.1 (Milestone 4)

Glassfish 3.1 M4 has a new feature to bundle resources into JEE applications. This is pretty neat to have data-sources or custom JNDI resources defined local to the application scope.

Alexis MP created a short screen-cast to demonstrate the new function:

Redeploying Atmosphere on Glassfish v3.x

September 6th, 2010 devylon 2 comments

It took me half a day to figure out, why redeploying a Atmosphere war bundle always fails with a stacktrace. Atmosphere packages, e.g. the jersey into the war archive. This behavior could be changed by setting a JVM environment variable in Glassfish.

In the GF admin console, going to:

Configuration->JVM Settings

switch to the JVM Options tab and add this option:

-Dcom.sun.enterprise.overrideablejavaxpackages
=javax.ws.rs,javax.ws.rs.core,javax.ws.rs.ext
