This is a blog about a topic that I realy don't like. But it comes across my ways over and over again and it's no doubt that you need it from time to time. Enough reasons for me to collect some information about it and publish it for your reference. I…

The second day at the 2010 DOAG conference started more or less in time. After a longer evening it needs some discipline to get up early to be at a 10:00 talk. I arrived timely and had some time to get a last minute glimpse at my slides and even check network…

Seeing all those political stuff on my blog lately I personaly need a break. And what is best? Get your hands dirty :) And this is what I did. I downloaded the latest mojarra-2.0.3-FCS-source.zip (12/10/10), build it and did a brief setup of my favorite softw…
