Modular Java: Declarative Modularity

The fourth of the Modular Java series covers declarative modularity. It describes how components can be declaratively defined and wired together, without having a code dependency on OSGi APIs. Declarative services will be used to write POJOs together dynamically, such that code no longer needs to explicitly register or consume OSGi services, and without any start ordering dependencies.

Extreme Transaction Processing Patterns: Write-behind Caching

Lan Vuong shows how to optimize the performance of an application by leveraging the write-behind caching pattern which sends batch updates to the back-end database asynchronously within a user configurable interval of time, instead of doing sychronous write-through updates typical in web apps.

Classloader Acrobatics: Code Generation with OSGi

Porting great infrastructure to OSGi often means solving complex classloading problems. This article is dedicated to the frameworks that face the hardest issues in this area: those that do dynamic code generation. Incidentally these are also the coolest frameworks: AOP wrappers, ORM mappers, and service proxy generators are just a few examples.

Modular Java: Dynamic Modularity

Modularity is an important aspect of large Java systems. Build scripts and projects are often split up into modules in order to improve the build, but this is rarely taken into account at runtime. This third part of the Modular Java series discusses dynamic modularity, how a bundle's classes are resolved, how they can come and go, and how they can communicate with each other.
