Unfortunately there are several common traps that can cause code that works as expected for a single invocation of a small executable to do terrible things when repeatedly calling several complex external applications.

- Do you care about your code? QCon promotes software craftsmanship 1 hour ago DZone - fresh links for developers
I'm at the QCon conference in London, one that I particularly value for its vendor-neutrality and strong content. Yesterday we heard from Robert Martin, founder of Object Mentor, on the subject of software craftmanship, or how to avoid bad code. One of Martin's points is that having code that works is not enough. He makes an analogy with a machine.

- SOA with Spring (Part 2) 2 hours ago DZone - fresh links for developers
Abstract: In Part 1 of this article series, I had used the popular Spring framework, a lightweight container that provides automated configuration and wiring of application objects, to create a contract-first Web service. Demonstrating Spring's pluggable architecture, we had seen how to configure the endpoint with Spring's support for OXM (Object-XML Mapping) and handle service-level and runtime exceptions. In this article we'll go over the security configuration using Spring's support for WS-Security providing message-level authentication, and optionally message confidentiality and message integrity services, ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) to deal with persistence at the object level, and DAO for data access to a relational database storing user-credential information. Next, we'll look at how Spring automatically generates the WSDL document using the data contract created earlier and, lastly, the client configuration required to invoke and consume the Web service.
