An issue that recently gave me something to gnaw on was that of auto-starting an EJB: I wanted to achieve the effect that an EJB within a Java enterprise application would become active (and in that special case, connect to another component on another machine) as soon as it was deployed (or the container was started). If possible, I wanted the solution to be container independent. After a lot of googling and trying, I found a solution that works, but it is probably one of the most awkward hacks to solve a problem that sounds as simple as this.

Auto-Starting EJBs
Saturday, June 13th, 2009Information Hiding 2009 – Review
Saturday, June 13th, 2009Like I mentioned in my last blog post, I had the possibility to attend the international conference “Information Hiding 09″ last week. I had quite a good time and learned a lot, even though some talks were a bit too sophisticated in their special field for me to follow – especially the hardware security related ones by Miodrag Potkonjak.
Information Hiding 2009
Thursday, June 4th, 2009Because my employer, the Fraunhofer Institute for Secure Information Technology, is one of the parties organizing the conference Information Hiding 2009 next week, I will have the chance to join some talks there, which I am quite looking forward to. I am especially interested in hearing about some of the latest developments in digital watermarking, which I have been dealing with for over a year now at the Fraunhofer Institute.
FLOW3 Released as Alpha Version
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Today, the FLOW3 Core Team announced the release of the PHP development framework FLOW3 as an 1.0 alpha version. FLOW3 features many features unique to a PHP framework, such as:
- Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP)
- Object Manager featuring dependency injection
- MVC framework
- Persistence framework
…and many more.
The framework seems to be very interesting and sophisticated, and although I couldn’t yet find time to try it, I will definetly do so in the next time. The framework is developed in conncetion with the TYPO3 content management system and can thus be expected to be of high quality.
