Lambda and JavaFX 8.0

Updating my Mac with:

• Netbeans 7.4 Beta
• last JDK 8 version(Developer preview Build b 106)

Now, let's try to play with Lambda …  and JavaFX 8.0

My first try is a classical replace of the ActionEvent of a button by a Lambda and a less classical call of an existing method by using method references.

And my second try is to rewrite Duke Anim with Lambda.

Navigation in AngularJS

I continue my exploration of AngularJS, and this time on the navigation part.
To do that, I wrote a little application, to show how to:

• use $routeProvider to handle the navigation by creating new routes with the necessary parameters to construct the view which will be render by ng-view.
• navigate from a html link
• navigate from a html button

Consume a RESTful service with AngularJS

In the beginning of this year, I watched the AngularJS's talk at Devoxx onParleys. After that, I went to ParisJUG to see the technical talk about AngularJS.
And I thought: it seems to be a great JavaScript framework, I must try it!
To try it, I wrote a small application which consume a REST service.
The application is similar to the application I wrote for the post: put it alltogether, and consumes the same REST service.

Put it all together (JavaFX 2.x Custom component, FXML, JAX-RS 2.0 client API)

In my last post, I wrote about how to make custom component compatible with FXML and how to use it in an application.
Before that, I had tested the client API of JAX-RS 2.0 (with JSON and XML serialization).
And now, when I’m putting them together, I can write a small JavaFX 2 application which consumes REST services.

JavaFX 2.x custom component compatible with FXML

In November, last year, I wrote a little example on how to extend an existing component in JavaFx 2.0.
Today, I would use this component in FXML and make a little demo.
The application for the demo is very simple:

• One SearchTextBox component (custom component) with events on OnCrossButtonMouseClicked and OnSearchEvent.
• One ComboBox to change the font size of the SearchTextBox component.

RESTful client in Java with JAX-RS 2.0 Client API (JSON update)

When I wrote RESTful client in Java with JAX-RS 2.0 Client API, I thought that JSON serialization/deserialization was not working with Jersey 2.0-m3.
But, in fact, it works as designed and Martin Matula gives us the solution in his second comment and in JIRA).

To use the JSON serialization/deserialization (with Jersey 2.0m3), you have to:

•  enable the JsonFeature on the client with the line:
  client.configuration().enable(new JsonFeature());
•  and add the jars:
  jersey-media-json-2.0, jackson-jaxrs, jackson-core-asl, jackson-mapper-asl and jackson-xc
