Code Centric Trainings with the Samples Manager
I recently gave a training course on – you guess it – RAP/RWT. And as it seems natural for a training targeted at developers it was very code centric and had many hands-on exercises. For hands-on exercises I find it useful to give a starting point so that tedious steps…
Stress/Load-Testing of Asynchronous HTTP/REST Services with JMeter
Although I have been using JMeter for stress- and load-testing of web applications a good few times it took us a while to figure out how to test asynchronous HTTP/REST based services with the tool. With us I mean a fellow programmer – Holger Staudacher, I have the honor to…

RAP/RWT-OSGi Integration II
In my last post about the new RWT-OSGi integration bundle of RAP 1.5 I have promised to provide a little example of how to use RWT in combination with the ConfigurationAdmin service of OSGi. In this post I will keep that promise and show how to register RWT applications arbitrarily at…
RAP/RWT-OSGi Integration
Motivation During my time as RAP technology lead I took care of some consulting projects using RAP/RCP in single sourcing fashion. Although this approach has proven very powerful to help people to bring their RCP applications to the web, I consider the workbench concept often too cumbersome if you are…
Replacing Hard Coded Processes Using Activiti
A few weeks ago I was put in charge to replace a piece of code in a software product. The code in question was the implementation of several business processes. The hard wired nature of those processes made it difficult for consulting people to customize the software to customer’s requirements….
Refactoring RAP/RWT to Remove Class Variables
Lately I have started with the first of a set of RAP refactorings to ease the task of using RWT (RAP Widget Toolkit) as standalone widget library for web applications. With the term “standalone” I do not only refer to the possibility of running RWT in a standard servlet container without…
