Recently I was playing around with Hadoop, after a while I really recognized that this was a great technology. Hadoop allows you to write and run your application in a distributed manner and process large amounts of data with it. It consists out of a MapReduce implementation and a distributed file system. Personally I did […]
Geo-Location Search with Solr and Lucene
Like many people, I use Google Maps to find businesses near my house. This kind of search differs considerably from usual free text searches since I’m no longer just asking for companies that include the phrase pizza, I’m also asking for companies that are near a certain point.

Domain Driven Design applied

On July 1st, Jelmer added a very useful blog post about testing the database layer in which he suggested to use “insert statement” and “fixture” classes to provide a good way to insert test data into your database. I am also using that technique as I’m writing unit tests for the database layer. I have […]

Testing the database layer
The database is an integral part of many applications and writing queries is often hard. For that reason I have always written integration tests for the data access objects or DAO’s that I use to access the database. The way I write my DAO tests has changed a lot over the years and in this […]

This layer enabled us to create a website using the techniques we are familiar with (spring mvc). After the onsoranje project, my interest for content […]
