For one of our project I needed to read zip files from a FTP server and import the content in a system. In this post I will explain how I have used the Spring Integration to connect with a FTP server and retrieve Zip files.

Parsing HTML with Jericho
July 14th, 2010 by Roberto van der Linden(http://blog.jteam.nl/2010/07/14/parsing-html-with-jericho/)
In one of our projects I had to parse and manipulate HTML. After searching for a nice HTML parser, I ended up using the open source library Jericho HTML Parser. Jericho provides you a lot of features including text extraction from HTML markup, rendering, formatting or compacting HTML. In this post I will show you a few of the features I have used.

Implementing RSS Feeds with new features of Spring 3
May 5th, 2010 by Roberto van der Linden(http://blog.jteam.nl/2010/05/05/implementing-rss-feeds-with-new-features-of-spring-3/)
In this post I explain how we implemented the way we created the RSS feeds in a project and the challenges that we had during the set-up.
My colleague Jettro Coenradie explained in a previous post how you can create a feed using Rome and Spring 3, but didn’t elaborated on the Spring 3 part. I will explain how we used Spring 3 to create the feeds.
Migrating content with Spring Integration – A real life example
January 13th, 2010 by Roberto van der Linden(http://blog.jteam.nl/2010/01/13/migrating-content-with-spring-integration-a-real-life-example/)
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.
In this post I will explain how we use Spring Integration to migrate content, handle errors, measure performance and deal with the fact that content could contain references to other content that is not imported yet.
Automated functional testing with WebDriver
August 5th, 2009 by Roberto van der Linden(http://blog.jteam.nl/2009/08/05/automated-functional-testing-with-webdriver/)
There is nothing nicer than having a functional test suite that checks if your application is still working as it should. It is even nicer to run these tests and see what is happening, while the tests are being executed. Two of the tools that give you this opportunity are Selenium RC and WebDriver.
In the project that I’m working on I use WebDriver to create functional tests. In this post I will try to give you an impression of why we switched from using Selenium RC to WebDriver and how we used WebDriver to test a Content Management System (CMS) and helped us making understandable tests.
