    I do a fair bit of work with the PrimeFaces JSF library and it is, IMHO, the best set of JSF widgets currently available. PrimeFaces has an excellent demonstration site as well which gives examples of the most common usage patterns of each widget available. Occasionally though it’s necessary to stray outside what is demonstrated…

    In the previous article we looked at how we can use the CDI qualifier system to pick which one of multiple possible implementations should be used when an injection takes place. In this article I show you how to decide what gets injected at runtime rather than at build time.

    In the previous part we created a simple little application that comprised just a single bean and a JSF page. The page called the bean and asked for a quote which was then displayed. Under the hood though there was a lot of stuff going on and it’s best to have at least an idea…

    This short series of articles covers some of the basics of working with Java EE 6 (JEE6) and in particular JSF 2.0 and CDI (JSR 299 Context and Dependency Injection).

    I’ve been having some problems with dates recently in the application I’m currently working on. I need to be able to specify a date that indicates when a particular piece of information becomes valid. Sounds simple enough, yes? I thought so until I actually came to try and implement it.

    I recently started using Sonar to automatically check the quality of the code I write – turns out it’s mostly ok with a few systematically bad points that I will work on improving. One of the problems I faced though was what to do about a barrage of false positives from a small number of…

    Quick little JPA 2 issue that I faced today that I’m sure many other people have run into especially when starting out. The problem was and error message such as the one shown below when attempting to display the contents of a Set of other entities in a JSF page
