July - August 2011

  • Applied Research Notes (July-August 2011)
  • Research Tasks
    • Inspect the code base of NexJ Express
      • the Persistence engine
      • the Integration engine
    • the tree optimization problem (JSON Integration Adapter)
  • Events
    • 7/10/2011 I checked out the code base (revision 540) of NexJ Express from OHT with MercurialEclipse. JAVA_HOME must be set to JDK 1.5, not 1.6. The revised version "Working with NexJ Express Source Code" (2011-3-15) must be used.
    • 7/25/2011 Regarding the JSON Integration Adapter project, I checked out the code base from Brian Lim's mercurial code repository. I ran two JUnit tests and one of them had caused some errors. Later the problem was fixed by Brian.
