At least one Hibernate resolution
Okay, one of the issues I identified is my fault. I can use JavaBeans that don’t have id fields as long as I leave the “name” attribute out of the <id> element in the mapping document. The reason I was throwing an exception is that I was still using the same test cases from before,…

Hibernate Challenges
Hibernate is proving to be a bit more challenging than I originally anticipated. The toy problems seem to work just fine, but I have a real (if very small) database schema and a real (if very small) set of Java classes mapped to them already. Trying to insert Hibernate in between is providing a lot…

MyEclipse
I received an email yesterday and a blog comment earlier from a nice person at MyEclipse. That's notable for a couple of reasons. First, that's the first person to actually leave a comment on my blog here. 🙂 That in itself is pretty cool. Second, that contact is entirely consistent with what I've come to…

Hibernate
This week I've been in Westborough, MA again, teaching a servlets and JSP course. The materials are, shall we say, dated, even though they've been revised to use RAD6. The rest of the time, however, I've been digging into Hibernate. I'll post more later, but I'm going through my list of challenges as I travel…

EJB’s in RAD6 in Columbus, OH
This week I'm in Columbus, Ohio, teaching a five-day EJB class in RAD6. As I learned last week, IBM would prefer I call the product IRAD, meaning IBM Rational Application Developer. That's going to be a tough transition, assuming I try to do it at all. The students this time are from the State of…

Philadelphia, PA
It's Philly this week. I've got an interesting group who work for the same company last week's students work for. Maybe I can come up with some kind of inter-city competition — a game, a puzzle, or something. I'll have to think about that. This week is all about making the OO transition, but this…

Westborough, MA
I wrote a nice, long post, hit the "Publish" button, and was rewarded with the dreaded 404 Not Found error. I guess I shouldn't be surprised — computer networks have not been kind to me lately. I think I forgot to swing the mouse cable over my head counterclockwise when I sacrified that chicken by…

Hello from Jacksonville, FL
This week it's "Practical Core Java" in Jacksonville, FL. I'm a sub to a sub to a sub again, but that's okay. The class is taking place at a New Horizons site in Jax. That's great, though, because I don't have any serious firewall issues to worry about and I automatically have admin access to…

This week’s activities
This week I'm spending time working through David Black's Ruby for Rails book (hereinafter referred to as R4R) and helping Will Provost with his courseware. I'm working through the labs and demos in his Intro Java course, now that they've been ported to Java 5. I'm okay with the enhanced for loop, and with variable…
