Liferay is heavily using Spring's aop. Spring's aop is doing an amazing job to make your life easy by making your code clean. So why i am creating something new, if the exist one is good enough? Spring is taking care of general use cases, but Liferay's use case is a little bit special, so it gives me a chance to improve. Let's see how does Spring do the general aop first. Basically...

jQuery is a fast and concise JavaScript Library that simplifies HTML document traversing, event handling, animating, and Ajax interactions for rapid web development. jQuery is designed to change the way that you write JavaScript.

If you have read my previous blog, you must already know StringBundler. StringBundler can improve your String processing performance a lot, but it is still not enough. Now answer this question: In a web application, which part creates most String garbages? Normally it is not your Java code, but the template engine for generating the page content. Most likely is Jsps. Jsps will be...

This sample gadget has three preferences: pref1, pref2, and pref3.   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <Module> <ModulePrefs title="Multiple...

 I'm a fervent reader of business books and blogs.  Seth Godin is one of my favorites, and in a recent post entitled "A Sad Truth About Most Traditional B2B Marketing", his wisdom shines through.  Seth highlights how many organizations, in an effort to save money and gain efficiency, become dispassionate about the relationships they build along the way.  RFPs are...

I haven't been blogging as much as I'd like... My return to core after a long year+ on a project hasn't turned out quite the way I had envisioned.  (Don't get me wrong, I'm SOOOO happy to be back; although, to be fair I was with an awesome client.)
