This is probably the most annoying thing with Windows – awful console (prompt). I do have Windows on one of my computers that I do developing stuff, and I just can not work with standard console. I used to like Cygwin, but there is something putting me off with it. […]
It has been very annoying not being able to configure exclusions for compiler warnings in eclipse. In many projects, there are auto-generated files that do not comply to any coding standards and our ‘Problems’ perspective is bloated with warnings that are not interesting at all. Worst is that developers stop […]
JPA specification allows up to two simultaneous eager fetches. But sometimes when we really need to this – we are stuck. One way to achieve this is to use hibernate extensions. We could do something like this: @OneToMany(cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.EAGER, mappedBy = "keys") @Fetch(value = FetchMode.SUBSELECT)private List<T> […]
This topic is well described on maven homepage but if you are impatient or just need a quick start, here we go. There are a zillion different archetypes out there but somehow it more often than seldom that there is no particular type that suits exactly our needs. That’s where we […]

In case that non US ASCII symbols are used in (e.g. redirect) URL:s, tomcat is not going to be able to process these ‘out of the box’. Example of such a use-case is redirects and callback from external servers to your servers with parameters with non US ASCII chars (e.g. […]
Today I wanted to add a quick spinner to a web page making an AJAX call to the server. Generally I prefer to make code fast enough so that spinner should be obsolete but sometimes turn-around can take longer than one second so I gave up and added one. I […]
On this part of the this blog I’m gonna write mostly about programming but even other technical stuff related to what I do at lest 40 hours a week. These will serve mostly as a diary for my self as I tend to forget some (sometimes weird or plain simply […]
