READ MORE »Spring Security issue: Duplicate detected.
TweetBufferSo I ran into an issue today that has been detailed at http://forum.springframework.org/showthread.php?p=193052 in the Spring forums that at first glance, looked identical to my issue. But this was in fact not my issue. First off, when I was using acegi, I declared an applicationContext-test.xml that myTestNG would instanciate. I then would import my other [...]

TweetBufferNOTE: AVOID SPACES IN DIRECTORY NAMES AT ALL COST! It is mandatory that your JDK be installed in a directory that does NOT have spaces. The default installer uses “C:\Program Files\Java\**” and I just put mine in “c:\Java\**” instead.

READ MORE »Keeping Tomcat binaries locally for integration testing on Linux
TweetBufferI ran into an issue of server timeouts with embedded Tomcat in my Maven build once I moved to my Linux Build Server. I defined the cargo plugin as that is starting my embedded Tomcat during the build: <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId> <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.0-alpha-4</version> <configuration> <wait>${cargo.wait}</wait> <container> <containerId>${cargo.container}</containerId> <output>${project.build.directory}/${cargo.container}.log</output> <log> ${project.build.directory}/${cargo.container}-cargo.log </log> <zipUrlInstaller> <url>${cargo.container.url}</url> <installDir>${installDir}</installDir> </zipUrlInstaller> </container> [...]

READ MORE »Building Oracle BPEL suitcase from Maven
TweetBufferbpel-example I spent quite a while trying to get Maven to build our Oracle BPEL suitcases. I wanted to do this because I did not want to rely on JDeveloper to deploy the suitcases. That would also not fit into a continuous integration. The biggest issue we faced was the recursive JAR inclusion that the [...]
READ MORE »Testing XFire with TestNG
TweetBufferSo after an entire weekend of frustration with tutorials such as http://xfire.codehaus.org/JSR+181+Annotations and http://docs.codehaus.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=44565 I think I have come up with a way to test XFire services deployed through Tomcat during my Maven build. So I created an annotated version of an Echo Service: package com.baselogic.service; import javax.jws.WebMethod; import javax.jws.WebParam; import javax.jws.WebResult; import javax.jws.WebService; import [...]
