My latest personal project

Hi folks,

 

It's been a while since last time I post here. I just want to share a project that I have started recently and hopefully it will benefit some of you.

 

In many places where I worked, they often needed a light, fast and standalone server like process that run easily without much hassle, compare to use a full blown JEE server. I often ended up writing the same bootstrapper service that does many of the basic things. We need logging, we need easy configuration set loader, we need remote control and management, and we need it NOW!

 

I have been started and collected some experimental code for a while on each time I learn how to do it better. So I finally created a new project under googlecode and named "spring-runner". You may call it a Fully functional Tiny Little Java Server. :)

 

See http://code.google.com/p/spring-runner

 

I hope you will find it useful. Feel free to provide any feedback and comments on the project.

 

Best regards,

-- Zemian Deng

I use googlecode because they provide Mercurial source control. It also gives me a project home page, Wiki, Issue tracking etc, all are ready to go in just few minutes.

 

Now only if private companies we work for will have such infrastructure setup, and easiness of use for all internal projects, our job would be so much productive, won't we? :)

This looks very good, Zemian! I bookmarked it for the Codetown Reading List in both the general section, which shows up on the Codetown homepage and in the JEE Group. Why did you choose code.google.com? Can't wait to try it out. Thanks for sharing it with us here at Codetown. /Mike

Happy 10th year, JCertif!
