It includes the work of Gail Tverberg and the staff of TheOilDrum.com who synthesized the mountain of data pertaining to oil alternatives, into a succinct essay.

Submitted by gordonjl on Sun, 2009-07-05 00:25
As other folks have tried to do, I'm trying to reduce the 80MB bulk of Axis2 to keep my already bloated client code as trim as possible.

Java Work Demo Created
Submitted by admin on Mon, 2008-12-22 21:18
A prospective client asked for a code demo and I'm happy to oblige. I put together a simple web application that manages job listings. It's quite simple: list, create, retrieve, update and delete are all supported. the idea is to show:

C) I'm ready for anything. Bring it on
granted, I got a little carried away with that last point.
The code is written in Java 1.5 and the Spring Framework (MVC) 2.5 (complete with 2.5's MVC annotations configuration.)
