Gradle 1.6 was the last supported Gradle version to run on OpenShift due to this bug. But as of Gradle 2.2 this is no more an issue, so running newest Gradle on OpenShift should not be a problem anymore with Do It Yourself cartridge. DIY cartridge is an experimental cartridge that provides a way to test unsupported languages on OpenShift. ...

When doing centralized logging, e.g. using Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana or Graylog2 you have several options available for your Java application. You can either write your standard application logs and parse those using Logstash, either consumed directly or shipped to another machine using something like logstash-forwarder. Alternatively you can write in a more appropriate format like JSON directly so the ...

Along many new features, Spring Boot 1.2 brings Jersey support. This is great step to attract those developers who like the standard approach as they can now build RESTful APIs using JAX-RS specification and easily deploy it to Tomcat or any other Spring’s Boot supported container. Jersey with Spring platform can play an important role in the development of mico ...

Spring Boot is an opinionated framework that simplifies the development of Spring applications. It frees us from the slavery of complex configuration files and helps us to create standalone Spring applications that don’t need an external servlet container. This sounds almost too good to be true, but Spring Boot can really do all this. This blog post demonstrates how easy ...

This year I greeted Christmas in a different fashion: I was a part of the Java Advent Calendar.

Uses more modern Java servlet Configuration based on Spring’s AbstractAnnotationConfigDispatcherServletInitializer.         ...

When I needed to do prototyping, proof of concept or play with some new technology in free time, starting new project was always a little annoying barrier with Maven. Have to say that setting up Maven project is not hard and you can use Maven Archetypes. But Archetypes are often out of date. Who wants to play with old technologies? ...

Spring-session is a very cool new project that aims to provide a simpler way of managing sessions in Java based web applications. One of the features that I explored with spring-session recently was the way it supports externalizing session state without needing to fiddle with the internals of specific web containers like Tomcat or Jetty. To test spring-session I have ...

Spring boot recommends creating an executable jar with an embedded container (tomcat or jetty) during build time and using this executable jar as a standalone process at runtime. It is common however to deploy applications to an external container instead and Spring boot provides packaging the applications as a war specifically for this kind of a need. My focus here ...
