Although 2006 is not yet there, it is coming real fast.

Every year I write down some resolutions I try to achieve - but never fully do… Among other things, next year, I’d like to look deeper at some enterprise tools, frameworks and so on. I got the basics but lack some practice with stuff like web development using jsf/struts, web services and related Java EE paradigms.

First thing I’ve decided to look at without even waiting for 2006 - mainly because I’d like to use it in a new work project - is Struts. So I’ve collected some tutorials and just installed Exadel Studio for Eclipse. Looks like this plug-in will be quite handy to work with Struts, today in very few time I got my first localized login.jsp working with Struts, Tomcat and connecting to one of our authentication module, all within the comfort of my Eclipse IDE.

2006 will be my “know you enterprise tools” year.
