I finally was able to avoid the temptation of NOT writing on this blog 🙂 Spending too many hours staring at a monitor and working my fingers around a keyboard for a an approaching release has made it more difficult just to WANT to be around any form of technology 🙂 But, here I am again. I’ve been wanting...
I’m still playing with this blog’s style , so this is work in progress.
It seems that the idea I had is more of a silly thought. It’s not the nature of the idea, or how to apply it. It’s because of cultural limitations and its inherited problems.

It seems that this basic function has no easy implementation. The problem started when I wanted to forward the request to a controller that is dynamically determined...
The plug was pulled on the project I was working on – adapting an opensource workflow engine (jBPM in my case) for use in an existing application. Although it did hurt a bit (since I’ve done an extensive job understanding the target application), yet, the amount of time I spent on Spring (the framework of choice) were really thrilling....
