Danzig Band and City, Netbeans 6.5 rc1 on Vista, Xtreme Makeover, Restful and Beeing Doomed to Present the Basics 📎
Netbeans World Tour is over - at least for me. I spend the weekend in Poznan and Danzig - which was nice experience and great attendees. I had all freedom in Poznan, in Danzig however Jacek Laskowski, a polish Java Guru and a nice guy, decided to present the advanced EJB 3 stuff, so we splitted the stuff between us. It was too boring for me, so I presented a part of JavaONE 2008 Xtreme Gui Makeover, full RESTFul example and JSF, EJB 3, JPA basics. It was funny, because Jacek was in the audience and tried to interactively influence my talk (like forbidding the explanation of interceptors or DI because it was a part of his presentation). So thanks to all organizers and sponsors.
In Danzig, however, I got a small problem with Netbeans. Vista locked a jar again (common-upload.jar, the old Netbeans 6.1 problem) during the JSF part. I restarted Glassfish and the problem was solved. It was the first problem I encountered for about one week heavy usage of NB 6.5rc1. I build a small, fully functional, application "Danzig Song Management" with DRM protection of course :-), and tried to answer as many questions as possible.
