Resolve all content nodeData values in the signature of your controller method When we were working on a recent Magnolia project here at Orange11, I introduced Magnolia and Blossom to a colleague of mine.

Spring context configuration in Magnolia
Here at Trifork we have quite a Magnolia portfolio. We do not only install, configure and host the actual CMS itself alone, we also design and implement pixel-perfect designs, and last but certainly not least: integrate new or existing business processes from external resources. When we create any piece of software for such an integration, that software […]
New in Spring 3.1: Bean definition profiles at a glimpse
The next major release of Spring Framework, 3.1, brings a new feature called bean definition profiles. This is a great add-on which makes the definition of the application context even easier, both in xml and Java-based style.

In one of the projects we need to migrate content from multiple websites into Hippo CMS. One of the interesting parts of this migration is that one of the websites will constantly provide us with updates of the content. Therefore it makes the migration a continuous process.

Serving a heavy load rss feed with Spring 3 and EHCache
For a project I am doing there was a feature request to come up with an rss component for their new website. This seems pretty easy but the amount of possible feeds (100.000) and the potential for very high load made us think about a custom made solution based on ehcache, spring 3 and rome. […]
Bean Validation: Integrating JSR-303 with Spring
