    JBoss World – The First full day

    September 3, 2009 8:55 AM

    Just wrapped up the first full day of JBoss World here in Chicago and wanted to share some of my thoughts.  To start, this is my first time attending the event so I did not really know what to expect.  Attendance seems to be very good and probably more than I had expected given the economy.  However, it is hard to judge who is there on the RHEL track versus JBoss given it is a shared event.  In fact, that seems to be the leading question in small talk at lunch and in the pavilion!  “So…., you here for RHEL or JBoss?”

    Part 2 – Alfresco Integration with JBoss Portal

    April 14, 2009 5:30 PM

    This blog is an addendum to last week’s blog found here.  I had not planned to do a follow-up or second part to that blog, but after working to display the CMIS objects in a tree structure, I wanted to share what I had learned.

    Alfresco Integration with JBoss Portal

    April 8, 2009 2:26 PM

    A common use case we see is clients wishing to integrate Alfresco ECM with or within their existing portal products.  In the past, the most common way to do this was to place the entire Alfresco WAR within a portal container and deploy the product as a portlet.  Although this approach works, it is not useful in many cases as you are limited in the customization of the look and feel with the rest of the portal.  Plus, the repository itself is now tied directly to the portal container in terms of scalability.

    Existing Seam application converted to a JBoss Portlet

    February 25, 2009 1:35 PM

    Recently, I had the need to port a standalone web application that was written in Seam to be a portlet within JBoss Portal.   Overall, I was surprised at how easy this process was, but also wanted to write about a “gotcha” to maybe save someone else some time.

    JBoss Tools 3.0.0 RC2 released today

    January 29, 2009 4:53 PM

    I have been using RC1 and this next release seems to be mostly fixes.  However, it does have some new functionality as well.  The drag-n-drop to deploy is especially interesting. Here is the link to the interesting stuff: http://docs.jboss.org/tools/whatsnew/
