World Wide Web or Patent Web!!

Day before yesterday I read a news about Facebook being sued by Yahoo for their social networking patents.. Every day I read a news about something is patented by some company, now I don't know about today's patent system, I mean how they approve them but I have seen some of the patents which are like a simple idea that any software developer can come up with but its patented... I read at least one news about some one being sued by someone for the patent that they have and we have seen(or I can say right now watching) the patent war which is happening between Samsung and Apple and Google and Microsoft on patents. These big companies buys companies with patents so that they can sue their competitors and block them to make profit. Word Wide Web I think was designed to make data or the information available to public but now it has became a patent web where if you do/design something you first need to check whether whatever you are developing whether is it patented, if yes then ?? is there any solution?? I don't know. In such web how a small startup can grow when there are these big fishes which are waiting for a small to fish to come up and then they will swallow it and then again sue someone!!!

Spring AOP : JDK Proxy vs CGLib Proxy

Spring framework is one of the most widely used framework in Enterprise application development. It has so many features such as Dependency injection, Data access integration, MVC, AOP which takes care of most of the boilerplate part of project, and developers can then focus on business logic only. One of the important feature in Spring is AOP. It is used by almost every enterprise application which is being developed using Spring. AOP So what is AOP? Definition of AOP - Aspect oriented programming is a programming paradigm which aims to increase modularity by allowing the separation of cross cutting concerns. Well, my understanding of AOP is - AOP allows us to introduce/join new modules in your project at pre-specified dynamic locations without having to code for it. Traditional examples of AOP is Transaction management, logging etc. You can read more about AOP at here .

Spring Custom Scope

Spring framework is one of the DI frameworks which is largely used to develop web applications(enterprise). It provides almost every feature which is required to develop a enterprise web application. Also it is extendable, so you can customize it the way it suits for your application. Custom bean scope Although bean scopes provided by Spring fulfills requirements of the application, some times you may need something different which is not available by default. In our application we faced the same situation. Requirement We had a requirement of the scope which uses an application value to decide which bean to use(return). The default scopes provided by Spring were not useful and was not providing the required functionality. Implementation As I said earlier, Spring is extendable. It provides an interface Scope, which you can implement to introduce custom scope in your application. To create custom scope, Scope interface needs to be implemented. Scope interface has ...
