I just write my code on a legal pad and have my secretary type it in. As a knowledge worker, my time is much too valuable for me to be doing data entry grunt work. But seriously, I use Microsoft Expression Web more than anything else.

Man, calm down!

Most likely. It's been corrected.

You might want to look at a more powerful mocking tool, e.g. jmockit.

Why is this showing up on

Why is this showing up on Groovy Zone? Did the listing get misclassified?

Oh sorry, I forgot to see

Oh sorry, I forgot to see that this was posted in the ruby section. Forget my advice then.

Sorry for the indentation,

Sorry for the indentation, but either it is impossible to post correctly intended code with this editor or I am way too "ease-of-use"-spoiled from being a Mac-User to actually fight my way through this.

How about combining a nice

How about combining a nice mocking language with your java classes with ... Groovy?

def mock = new MockFor(YourJava.class)
class Example {
  def bla = { return new YourJavaClass().someField }
}
 
def mock = new MockFor(YourJavaClass)

mock.demand.getSomeField { "two" }
mock.use {
   def c = new Example()
   assert    c. bla() == "two" 
}

Glimmer reminds me of

Glimmer reminds me of Markaby, which is the same idea, but for generating HTML instead of an SWT GUI.

In all fairness to Ola, Ted

In all fairness to Ola, Ted and Guillaume it was me chairing the panel session not Eugene who was stuck at the time in the Russian Embassy. I was asked to do the panel when it was due to start and for that reason it started a few minutes late. I wasn't planning on going to the panel as it was just after my first talk and just before my second talk and I still had some changes to make to my slides.

I have to admit that I had no clue what the title was, we met to discuss the questions in the 5 minute delay but I forgot to check the title, I usually do the panel at TSS but we plan up to a week before hand. I know all three of the panelists but it wasn't until a member of the audience pointed out that we were not answering the title of the panel that I tried to bring the talk back to the subject.

For this reason I take part of the blame, it probably would have been a better panel if (a) I had had slightly more time to prepare or (b) the host had decided to get a Russian Visa at some other time.

I think it was a fun panel, the vodka shots for the panelist was my idea and I think that heated things up a little. I've done better in the past but it wasn't too bad IMOHO.

Okay, so people are a little

Okay, so people are a little passionate. I'm all for passion, but let's try to cool it down a bit. Primarily because I'm the person who mistakenly put the announcement of the Flexible Rails Refcard on Javalobby. I am the one responsible for getting the Refcardz created, and posted to our site. I don't favor Java over Rails - or any other language. This was a simple mistake on my part of accidentally check-marking the incorrect Zone to post the announcement when I created it. My apologies for offending anyone - it was certainly not done on purpose.

alpha512 — Tue, 24 Jun 2008 07:48:53 -0400

With or without tag I see this article in Javalobby you moron. So who is the kneejerk, ruby zealot!.

If someone finds offensive this comment is your problem to find it like that, I'm really pissed off that in the unique place I enjoy reading comments or articles about JAVA here in Javalobby have to appear again and again ruby zealots promoting ruby and rails. They are like snakes going out from the jungle to bite you like crazies and say rails is GOD.

So please my friend STFU.

Thanks for the

Thanks for the clarifications Shashank. Take care, Geert

Geert, I think stripping

sandbox — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:27:47 -0400

Geert, I think stripping Terracotta from the title is what caused the disonance for me. Terracotta is a great product and I quite like it. You are aboslutely right that Groovy, Ruby or Spring guys are all trying to sell their product, service or whatever else they have to offer. Honestly, most conferences are largely becoming vendor presentations. In fact compared to the larger number of conferences The Server Side (TSS) Europe was a neutral and technology centric seminar. I quite liked most of the session content. I also thought TSS did a good job of lining up many speakers who are involved in day to day development and talk more about their experiences than necessarily send out sales and marketing messages.

Also, my apologies for singling you out. That wasn't the intention!

Maybe because Terracotta wasn't in the name, I was expecting some new stuff coming from you and kind of felt cheated when it was all Terracotta. If it was spelled out as it should have been, things would have just seemed normal.

Thanks....Shashank

Hi, thanks for sharing your

Hi, thanks for sharing your impressions. Since I've read this a few times before in anonymous comments, and I can now for the first time talk back to some that criticizes that my talk is about Terracotta itself, I take the opportunity to ask you why. I never intended this to be a marketing pitch but instead a concise overview of the capabilities of Terracotta. This is also clear in the abstract of the talk and in the title (though TSSJS stripped away the Terracotta part of my original title). Since Terracotta is a totally free, open-source product, without any strings attached, why do you have a problem with that and not with talks about Spring, Groovy, Grails or JRuby? All these are backed by companies that typically also make their money on support and training. Please let me know why you consider this to be any different for Terracotta?
