A partir de hoy me acompañarán un par de personajes, Zero y Huno, que iréis conociendo poco a poco. Con ellos intentaré abstraerme de El Mundo Real™ durante unos minutos a la semana, y de paso poder parecer algo más informático y algo menos persona. Por supuesto, y como siempre, no prometo que vaya a durar ni un poquito.

I’m working in my final degree project, an interactive web document commenting system that allows people to annotate comments directly onto document elements like words at paragraphs and images.

My mentor forced me to use Java as the primary language for the project. In these days choosing a J2EE Framework sucks. If you’re a fashion-victim/fancy-boy, you know, you’ll end using a combination of Struts + Spring + Hibernate + AnyFlavourOfYourFavoriteJavaTrendyWebTechnology and obviously a gazillion of XML config files. Do you really need all of this stuff for little projects with just two SQL queries and three templates? It was driving me crazy for about two weeks. I’m not underestimating Structs or Hibernate or whatever, I’m saying it doesn’t fit for small projects.

You must be thinking I’m using a single approach with some Servlets and JSP files, and also you can be wrong. I don’t like how huge struts framework is, but I’m a fan of trendy-best-practices ;-). I love the way Google’s App Engine, Ruby on Rails and Django enforce you to get things done. I’ve been hacking with the Java Reflection API, Tomcat and other stuff for a while, now I can tell you I have a little alpha-baby called Bazooka.
