Welcome
This is a site that I have put together as an exercise to develop my skills in creating and maintaining a J2EE web application using JSF, Spring, Hibernate, Apache Tiles and whatever else I feel will make things easier to manage this site.
Besides exercising my technical skills I plan to provide tutorials on setting up a web server at home using your DSL connection if you have one like me. This very web page is hosted on my own web server at home using my own DSL connection.
Many thanks to gordonmac.com who has provided me with this HTML template.
This server is set up using the following open source products:
Apache 2.2 (using mod_jk) 
Glassfish v2 - J2EE Server 
PHP 5 
MySQL Database Server

This site is built on the Spring 2.0 application framework using Java Server Faces 1.2 as the presentation layer of the site. It uses a MySQL database back end. Database is controlled using Hibernate to better manage data access objects in an object oriented way.
This site also makes use of apache Tiles 2 for managing layout of content.
