GuiceBerry is a pretty helpful library for injecting JUnit tests with Guice. However, it’s not super actively maintained and many of it’s methods and members are private making it difficult to change it’s behavior. Here’s a class, which essentially does what GuiceBerry does in one single class that you can edit yourself. import org.junit.rules.MethodRule; import Read More

Due to licensing restrictions, Ubuntu no longer comes with Oracle’s Java JDK. The first trick to installing on a headless server is being able to wget the file. I recommend downloading manually and then placing in on a host you control, your Dropbox directory, etc. You can install it by running: sudo mkdir -p /opt/java/64 Read More
Earlier in the year, I posted a quick writeup on how to run an embedded Jetty instance. Today, I’m posting basically the same code showing how to run an embedded Tomcat instance. The embedded Tomcat API is much nicer since it matches closely the web.xml syntax. However, the embedded Tomcat instance takes much longer to Read More
Guice 3.0 was released a few days ago! One of the easiest ways to use it in your web server is to use Struts 2 with the Struts 2 plugin, which is available in the central Maven repository. This tutorial assumes familiarity with Guice and Struts 2. In order to use it the plugin, your Read More
To debug a Java program being run on the command line from Eclipse you can start the Java program in remote debugging mode: java -Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=y -jar myProgram.jar The program will wait for you to attach the Eclipse debugger to it. Open Eclipse and choose: Run > Debug Configurations… > Remote Java Application > New Read More
Google GXP is a replacement for JSP that provides compile-time type safety. This article is a quick introduction on how to use GXP with Struts 2. 1. Download the jar. It’s not in Maven yet because it’s still unreleased. 2. Install the jar in Maven or otherwise put it on your classpath. You’ll Read More
There are numerous math libraries for Java. This is frustrating as a user because it’s hard to decide which to use. Sometimes an algorithm is implemented in one library, but not another, which means you must marshal your data between proprietary formats. I was working on solving systems of linear equations and there Read More
One of the coolest things about Jetty is the ability to run it in embedded mode. This means that you can write a Java app with a main method that will launch a Jetty server. This has some really nice benefits. For example, it makes it really easy to deploy a server to EC2 because Read More
In this tutorial, I use the H2 database, which you can utilize by downloading the jar or you can replace with your own DB. First off, you need to create a persistence.xml in a folder named META-INF at the root of your classpath. For example, if you’re using Maven you can create src/main/java/META-INF/persistence.xml. It lists Read More
