About a year ago I developed an Android app for my website, but as not everybody has an Android device I wanted to create a mobile version of my website. In the mobile version I want to present slightly different data to make it look more like the app. In this post I will show you how I have used Spring mobile to determine which version of the site the user wants to visit and how I used Sitemesh to select the correct decorator.

Migrating from Spring Integration 1.0.3 to 2.0.0.RC2
November 17th, 2010 by(http://blog.trifork.com/2010/11/17/migrating-from-spring-integration-1-0-3-to-2-0-0-rc2/)
Spring Integration 2.0.0.RC2 is out and I really wanted to upgrade in my current project. Few of the reasons to upgrade were the dependency of Spring 3 and the support for JMX. Because SpringSource changed a few things in the 2.0.0 release, I want to share the steps I had to take and issues that I solve to migrate from Spring Integration 1.0.3 to the latest version 2.0.0.

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.
