Improvements in the NLP module (based on Natty.) Updated to version 0.13.0

Get PrettyTime 5.0.0.Final

Release notes:

You might notice we skipped a few version numbers, which we’ve done for several reasons:

• This is a major update, so we incremented from major version 2 to version 3.
• The deprecated (original) prettyfaces-jsf library, which is now several years obsolete was versioned 3.3.3, and has been confusing new users for some time. We are now resolving this issue by skipping directly to Rewrite version 3.4.0.Final.

This release includes several major new features as well as a plethora of bug-fixes, including:

• Support for JDK6 has been dropped, JDK7 is the new minimum requirement
• Improved compatibility with JDK8 for the annotation scanning
• Major performance improvements in the logging subsystem
• Major performance improvements with the URLBuilder
• Fixed some concurrency issues which occurred in high load scenarios
• Many improvements for the LocaleTransposition feature
• Support conditional parameters with JSF’s <f:param>
• Fault tolerant percent decoding for path and query parameters
• Simpler condition trees when binding query parameters using annotations, results in better faster evaluation performance
• Fixes handling of context path for applications deployed to the root context
• Improved error reporting. Exception stack traces now display the rule that errored and the location where that rule was defined (including file and line number)
• Strict RuleBuilder ordering and structure enforcement

Thank you for continuing to support us, provide valuable feedback, and use our technologies.

While migrating an e-commerce application (piqchocolates.com) from Grails and Tomcat to an AngularJS, Java EE (JAX-RS), and JBoss WildFly stack, I had to make sure that the new platform has feature parity in all areas that are valuable to our business. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is crucial for us because we primarily market our business on-line. In short, we need search engine optimized URLs, and deep linking; this article will show you how to implement both.

Several years ago I wrote a tutorial about using Acegi/Spring Security with JavaServer Faces (JSF) to create a simple authentication / Login page; however, times have changed and Java EE is back in action. I would no longer consider Spring a “requirement” when building a Java EE application. More specifically, if you are using the core Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) framework that serves as the backbone for the entire Java EE framework, Spring Security becomes less attractive (because it’s not compatible without using Spring itself, and Spring is a replacement for CDI).

This article will explore how to create a JSF login backed by the standards-compliant CDI framework (that is included with Java EE), and the PicketLink security framework (an open-source project from JBoss). Examples for this article were sourced from the very comprehensive, and quite understandable quick-start application from the PicketLink project itself.

Happy Holidays!

PrettyTime allows you to create human-readable timestamps such as “3 minutes ago” or “just now”, and is used in other open-source tools such as JBoss Tools, and JBoss Developer Studio.

Get PrettyTime!

Enjoy, and happy holidays,

Rewrite 2.0.9.Final

rewrite-config-proxy

To use this configuration extension, you will need to add it to your POM file:

<dependency>
   <groupId>org.ocpsoft.rewrite</groupId>
   <artifactId>rewrite-config-proxy</artifactId>
   <version>2.0.9.Final</version>
</dependency>

.addRule()
.when(Direction.isInbound())
.perform(Proxy.to("http://example.com"))

And of course, it supports parameterization:

.addRule()
.when(Direction.isInbound().and(Path.matches("/{p}")))
.perform(Proxy.to("http://example.com/{p}?foo=bar"))

response.isCommitted()

.addRule()
.when(Response.isCommitted().and(Direction.isInbound()))
.perform(Lifecycle.abort())

More issues resolved in Rewrite 2.0.9.Final:

• Need a method of proxying HTTP requests via Rewrite configuration.
• IllegalStateException thrown after redirect from 3rd party filter that calls chain.doFilter().
• Rewritten URLs don’t contain jsessionid any more if cookies are disabled
• Removed 3rd party repositories from POM
• Missing wildcard type arguments cause failure when locating cdi beans
• Allow navigation before RESTORE_VIEW
