Opti­mistic lock­ing is a com­monly used con­cur­rency con­trol method for web appli­ca­tions. It is so fre­quently needed that frame­works such as Grails use it by default. Alfresco Form­Ser­vice does not sup­port it out of the box. This may cause unex­pected results. This post out­lines an approach to change the sys­tem in order to get some­thing “close to” opti­mistic lock­ing behav­ior. Weit­er­lesen →

An Idea (lit bulb)

Alfresco is a very flex­i­ble content-platform in gen­eral. It pro­vides mech­a­nisms to cus­tomize almost every com­po­nent (Spring-Bean, Web­script, Tem­plates) shipped with the core prod­uct. Still, there are times when the solu­tion is not as obvi­ous and as the devel­oper ini­tially had in mind. Weit­er­lesen →

Some­times you need to know where an appli­ca­tion is spend­ing how much time. The old school System.currentTimeMillis() approach works for basic sce­nar­ios. If you have a Spring based appli­ca­tion, apply­ing an AOP style “bean injec­tion” approach may get you far bet­ter results — cleaner and faster. Weit­er­lesen →

Javascript REPL embedded in Alfresco

For me, wait­ing is by far the worst part of devel­op­ment. depend­ing on the envi­ron­ment, the build and deploy phases of the code-build-deploy-test devel­op­ment cycle can really take a sig­nif­i­cant share of your imple­men­ta­tion time. There are var­i­ous approaches address­ing this annoy­ing prob­lem. This post dis­cusses lever­ag­ing an embed­ded Read-Eval-Print-Loop . Weit­er­lesen →
