A ride with hessian

Published by Kefah Issa under General, Grails, c++, groovy, java

Today, I came across what I call a deep-sea pearl. I came to know Hessian, the binary web service protocol.

Some time ago I blogged about the same idea Predictable Binary Representation (PBR)
, naively thinking that no one has done this before.

With the help of few friends, and some googling there turned out to be a zillion solutions that attempt to address that very problem; the etch has been really scratched by many, and the need for a compact, and predictable binary protocol is a must, no matter how fast the internet is or will become.

Groovy with SQLite

Published by Kefah Issa under Grails, groovy

SQLite is a very interesting database engine. Its performance, simplicity and that fact it runs as a library (not a server) make it the perfect candidate for small project with few users.

Today I experimented with accessing SQLite database from within groovy.

GEdit with Groovy

Published by Kefah Issa under Fedora 9, Grails, Groovlet, groovy

Need a cool development setup for Groovy and Grails on Linux?

No I don’t mean Eclipse nor IntelliJ, and Yes, I’m smart enough for that I’m dumping the autocompletion and autoerror detection; at least I know i’m smarter than the current plugins for those two.
