03:28 pm - enum - RowSet + Commander pattern I've posted a pattern idea in my LJ enum, which you might find useful. It deals with JSP or other scripting language interface for the tabular data in your application. The description is rather big and has some graphics in it, so I didn't want to cross-post it here. This is a direct link to the article: WebApps: RowSet + Command [ + Interpreter]. In short words, it demonstrates how to abstract tabular data interface implementation from the application logic in MVC architecture without sacrificing flexibility.Any ideas and comments are welcome.
09:26 pm - matthias382 - Java IRC Channel? Google will yield plenty of results if you're looking for a Java implementation of an IRC server, client, bot framework, or something to that effect, but I found it lacking in the way of references to IRC channels where Java programmers can congregate and discuss their ideas and questions with each other.I've been on EFNet and have found #java to be somewhat helpful but lacking in atmosphere (people there tend to have a "why should I help you" attitude) and #javahelp more or less void of active users. If no one has a suggestion for a better place, I'd like to start a channel called #javageeks on EFNet.I've already got a "whatis" type of bot based on the PircBot framework built and lurking in the channel. It uses the MySQL database server and the JDBC driver for it, and though the database doesn't contain much yet, I hope that the users will help me build on what little I have already.Thoughts?
