So far so good with Google AppEngine. I was at first afraid that I would have to create separate model objects on both the client and server side as the GWT compiler was complaining about model classes not being serializable (DTOs, yuck). Since my model class did in fact implement Serializable, I thought it was the [...]

Thursday, the morning after our Shale jerry-rig marathon, I discovered that, even after hard-coding the end-state viewId, the dialog context for the parent dialog, listManager, was nullified on returning to the listsManager.xhtml page.
It was a dark hour, but we soon found a new shining software implementation to help us. Spring-Webflow rose to the occasion! It [...]

As I edited the code to remove RichFaces from our Application, a simple problem arose and led to two days worth of work. This is not unusual, and we are actually quite happy about the changes we have made, since they ought to make the application run far better in the future.

Before half an hour passed, I knew I needed to study RichFaces. We hope to use a lot of rich components in the application, [...]

Wednesday and Thursday of this week were spent completing and refining our emailed registration link.
Wednesday I worked from home, and after digging through a few errors thrown when I clicked on a registration link, I ran into one I couldn’t fix. It was a simple java.lang null-pointer exception thrown when the code was supposed to [...]

Today we moved towards getting the user account registration process finished. It’s been several days coming, but after yesterday’s work on Hudson, we finally settled (for the time being) our configuration and build issues.
Mr. Chandler took a look at the code I wrote on my day at home last week, and suggested a number of [...]

Today, over a delicious Mexican lunch, Mr. Chandler and I met with Mr. R, a graphic designer and a believer. Mr. R has been gracious enough to assist us by designing a logo for ROA. At this first meeting, he showed us variations on a number of concepts.
While I manned the laptop on which we [...]

Today I continued to work on revamping our tests, with two immediate goals in mind.
First, I needed a test that would automatically populate a database, saving me the trouble of a lot of data entry.
Second, we needed tests that worked with MySql, not just hypersonicSQL, which we have been using for our tests.
Once I accomplished [...]
