Do not try to make a fish to fly

Hi all,

Typical sentence I heard many times...: "What???? XXX/€ day for a Java Programmer? Are you crazy? I can have 3 for the same price!".

Yes, there are... Programmers and Programmers. Usually an advocate programmer who enjoys programming can:
  • Deliver much quicker.
  • Deliver robust code with less bugs.
  • Deliver maintainable code with quality.
  • Deliver on time. <- Wow.... maybe less cost? Less angry fights?
So...:
  • Do not force the fish to fly: Do not force your good programmers to grow to something they do not like. If a techie likes programming, let it there!.
  • If you bought a Renault then do not complain it does not run as a Ferrari.
    Let's teach  Customers the value of good programmers and to why to pay for them. It is not the same a Java Programmer Junior than a 12+ Years Java Programmer who also contributes online.
Yes... I am a Programmer and I hate how IT is currently evolving to "reduce costs" and programming slavery.

OJET: Build and Deploy in an Application Server

Image
There are some other sources where an Oracle JET Application is packaged and deployed as a WAR in Oracle WebLogic Application Server (Arda Eralp) https://blogs.oracle.com/ardaeralp/deploy-oracle-jet-application-to-weblogic-server (Andrejus Baranovski's) http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2016/07/serving-oracle-jet-application-from.html They may look bit old or maybe because they call directly grunt tasks by using the grunt-cli . In this post I will update a bit these posts in Oracle JET 6.1.0 and the usage of ojet build (instead of calling the grunt tasks) for also building the corresponding WAR file. The example can be found in my GIT repository: https://github.com/DanielMerchan/ojet-examples Let's start... Install grunt-war module in your Oracle JET Application. npm install grunt-war --save-dev Create a war.js (or call it whatever you want) in /scripts/grunt/config folder under your souce files. This is a sample code inside of it, check https://www.npmjs.com/packag

OJET: Select All options using only Checkboxset

Image
This is an example on how to select all other options by using another oj-checkboxset. GitHub: ojet-checkbockset-select-all The idea is to keep track of the selection and make use of the on-value-changed as described in the following code. self.colorOptions = ko.observableArray([ { id: "blueopt", value: "blue", color: "Blue" }, { id: "greenopt", value: "green", color: "Green" }, { id: "redopt", value: "red", color: "Red" }, { id: "limeopt", value: "lime", color: "Lime" }, { id: "aquaopt", value: "aqua", color: "Aqua" }, ]); self.selectAll = ko.observableArray([]); self.currentColor = ko.observableArray(["red"]); self.selectAllOptionChanged = (event) => { const newSelection = event.detail.value; if (newSelection.indexOf('all')

OFMW: 12.2.1.4 Released

Hi, After a long time waiting for it, the Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 has been finally released. Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 Official Documentation In this post, I will focus on my personal view over the Oracle Fusion Middleware products which I most commonly use over the last 8 years which are the SOA Suite (including BPM and OSB), WebCenter Suite (Portal, Content, Sites), Oracle ADF and Oracle WebLogic Application Server mainly. Certification Matrix As every release, I make a round around the Certification Matrix of every Oracle Fusion Middleware Release to check if the Java JDK accepted has been increased or not. Oracle Certification Matrix for Oracle Fusion Middleware 12.2.1.4 Java However, I found that we are still in the J2SE / J2EE 8 and the maximum certified JDK is Oracle JDK 1.8.0_211+ which means any 1.8.0_xxx if you are using Oracle JDK as the JDK vendor. Database The biggest new is the certification with 18.3+ and 19.3+ of the On-Premise vers
