Build a Life Science ID on Linux using Java
The amount of biological data being created today is
mind-boggling. This article takes you through a step-by-step
approach to building a Java®-based Life Sciences Identifier
(LSID) authority from scratch. It demonstrates how to build
this on a minimal data set and on data downloaded from the
protein sequence database Swiss-Prot, all on the Linux
platform.
Employing Rexx as a Scripting Language for Java
Rony Flatscher introduces the open source and free Bean Scripting Framework (BSF), which allows any Java application to deploy scripts in other languages. Any Java application developer can use BSF to supply scriptability in a user-friendly scripting language such as Rexx.
Further Down the Trail
In this article, we are going to pick up where we left off building our recipe management application. But first we need to download the latest version of Trails, version 0.8. Next, we need to upgrade our application to use this new version of Trails. Trails provides an upgrade-project target that will do this for us. It will prompt us for the same information as the create-project target, namely a base directory and project name.
Introduction to Spring 2 and JPA
Java server applications need not be difficult and tedious to create. Now in its second generation, the lightweight Spring framework adds a large suite of features that make it simple for even new server application developers to use. One key enhancement is Spring 2's integration with the Java Persistence API (JPA), a cornerstone of the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.0 specification. In this tutorial, learn how to create server applications from scratch using the Spring 2 framework.
Making P2P interoperable : The Jxta command shell
Project Jxta is a community-run attempt to build a utility application substrate for peer-to-peer applications. The initial reference implementation of Jxta includes a command-line shell that allows experimentation with the core Jxta platform without programming. In this second installment in a three-part series, Sing Li takes us through a hands-on tour of the Jxta shell.
Making P2P interoperable: The Jxta story
Peer-to-peer networking is coming, and it promises to create a computing world fundamentally different -- and, in some ways, better -- than the one based on the old client/server model. Project Jxta is a community-run attempt to build a utility application...
