SFO gives young Miles, keys to the city Nov 15. Calls the day Batkid day! Batkid saves the day, thumps his fist in the air to the cheering crowds as they burst into joy! What can be a better feelgood story than this one.

Stranger things have happened. But this blows many a mind. mvn test on a restful services project with spring mvc succeeds but mvn sonar:sonar fails with 404s on controllers. This happens when the controllers are marked @transactional for the restful service to be exposed as a unit of work. Don't fret. Its easy to solve this.

Between java auto boxed types and primitive data types, which way is the class assignable from? Simple. Long ln = 1L; //autoboxing (assignable) assertTrue(Number.class.isAssignableFrom(ln.getClass())); assertTrue(Long.class.isAssignableFrom(ln.getClass())); assertFalse(long.class.isAssignableFrom(ln.getClass()));

Cute Boy! Sweet thoughts. Listen to him, go vegetarian.

mvc:annotation-driven doesnot have alwaysUseFullPath attribute. However, in instances this is needed, adding the following bean BEFORE mvc:annnotation-driven tag will set up the alwaysUseFullPath correctly <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping" id="handlerMapping">         <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true"> </property></bean> So the fuller xml should like this <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.method.annotation.RequestMappingHandlerMapping" id="handlerMapping">         <property name="alwaysUseFullPath" value="true">     </property></bean>  <mvc:annotation-driven>   <mvc:message-converters>    <bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.json.MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter">     <property name="objectMapper" ref="jacks

A Well made movie

Fuse ESB 7.0 comes with Camel 2.9 components. Camel has groovy support from 2. 8 9 to create predicates and expressions. There is a GroovyRouteBuilder in 2.9 that lets you build dsl in groovy, albeit with java api. This is especially un-groovy when you have to write a .process .

Certain use cases like deserializing a collection requires knowing the type of the declared field. As the common understanding goes, Type Parameters are erased at build time. So How do we get them?

Consolidating resources to better serve users was the motto behind Google killing various services. But a seriously, Google reader? Reader is one of the first prominent services from Google. It belongs to an elite club that enjoys a loyal use base and plethora of third party apps. What's their fate. On a larger scheme, Is Google trustworthy anymore?

Yahoo mail's make over gave a little breather for long time loyal users like me. Its still leaps and bounds behind Gmail (or for that matter the new outlook.com), But at the very least, the UI developers managed to cleanup a major issue with its header space management .

To Customer Service, Wells Fargo. I am at utter dismay with a call I had got off from your customer service. When we first got our purchase at Bobs financed, we were in it ONLY to build credit history for my wife. As a savvy customer at major banks and financial institutions, I believed this should be easy. 0% apr - monthly online payments and why not, after all, its financed by Wells Fargo  a name I trusted at that time. We were asked to register at your old website was wellsfargo.com/retailservices. We were disappointed to see that there was no paperless option, and no account summary details there. The site only serviced online payments. I wanted to make payments from my bank. Naturally I called to ask for online payments time period when I am supposed to pay. I  was told to make payments of a minimum of ~$67. So I decided to make $99 to ensure I am NEVER underpaying. All was well until around Aug or Sept  2012. When the statement was ending earlier or later because of

Yes. Life is swiftly changing towards even more happiness. This new year, Our family will bring a cute bundle of joy home. We know it is going to be a boy. I'd like to thank my wife for bearing with me during these difficult (but exciting) months. Mom, she is going to be, is such an amazing feeling. She is doing well so far. Dad, me - I am excited, nervous and  happy all at the same time. I'll hope to be back blogging soon. 

May this be the year of joy, success, prosperity, peace and harmony for all you. -Sarath Chandra and Family.
