In the part 1 I have shown how to setup a simple CI environment and how to build a Service Bus project using Maven. In this part I will try to make a release pipeline which builds, deploys, tests, packages and release a whole service using Jenkins and if all successful and finally install the artifact in Nexus.

This article describes a Java EE 7 web application that exposes a REST service that handles HTTP POST requests with JSON payload. Any message received is sent through a Web Socket to the web socket (server) endpoint that is published by a Java Class deployed as part of the web application.

Between SYSCO and I we covered topics on automated provisioning, why O-box chose Chef, enterprise deployment, O-box & ODA (me, of course), and SYSCO’s SOA 12c upgrade experiences. There were plenty of discussions too with other companies sharing their Fusion Middleware experiences. All told it was a very...

In the new project we add a Domain Value Map (DVM): The file name and description speak for...

A user wanted to use a method of the Apache Commons-IO library named FileUtils.getTempDiretory() but got an error when he tried to use code completion or when he tried to compile the code. The problem was that the compiler (or code completion) did not pick up the right java class from the library even as it was installed in the project a library.As the original code used belongs to one of my samples I...

There are already several blogs on how to receive and send email using the UMS email adapter. A few good starting points that use GMail as a provider are the ones written by our respected con-colleagues of Amis: Receiving email Sending email So I won't bother to do a how-to on that on my account. Although I managed to get that working with a local Exchange setup. What I managed to do is to read e-mail and then process it to upload the attachments and body using BPEL and java in...
