What does the createTable for DynamoDB in Java with a column containing a JSON value?

I am attempting to use the Java/JSON examples located at this web page (which describes the introduction of JSON as a native type to DynamoDB). And while I understand the examples presented on the page, there is no place on the page showing how to go about defining the "people" table itself in Java.
I did find this link talking in the area. However, it appears to have been asked and answered PRIOR to the article above introducing the "official" version of the new API. And even reviewing the article didn't give me enough clues to figure it out myself.
BTW, I am NOT able to use the "AWS Toolkit for Eclipse" as must use the results of this in IntelliJ+Scala-Plugin using SBT.
Any guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Getting information from a third party Wiki page

In the project I am working on I need to access information from the website explainxkcd.com which gives the explanation of specific xkcd comics. The information I am looking for would be the explanation of the comic as a string. Explainxkcd is a site that runs using mediawiki, software that forms a template for the "wiki" feel. Mediawiki has an api that allows you to extract information from their websites and I have gone to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Main_page trying to figure out how to use their API for this particular wiki site but to no avail. It seems that you can replace the "index.php" in a URL with api.php to use the API but when I try this for http://explainxkcd.com/9/api.php it doesn't seem to work. I guess my URL is wrong but I don't see any information on how to find the specific URL to use for Explainxkcd.com
QUESTION:
How can I access information from a third party wikipedia page in a Java program? This can be through the mediawiki api or some other solution. If you know a good way to find the URL that can be used with mediawiki that would be preferred. Just looking for a nudge in the right direction here.
Thanks

Using the same method, s/index.php/api.php/, I get a different result: http://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/api.php which seems to work. If a wiki is using pretty URLs (e.g. example.com/wiki/Main_Page), just click on edit, view source or history.
Yes, please use the API instead of screen-scraping. You can see a few existing Java libraries for that here.

How to create client application to access uddi using java?

I've successfully set up an Apache Juddi v3 on my computer ans know I want to create a client that can publish and discover webservices using java. I have searched in google but i could not find a clear explanation of how to do that as am new in webservice and uddi.
any help please!!!

You want to start with the jUDDI examples. There's a bunch of them.
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/juddi/trunk/juddi-examples/
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/juddi/trunk/juddi-examples/more-uddi-samples/src/main/java/org/apache/juddi/samples/
Note: you didn't specify what version you're using, so some of that code may not compile against what you're using. Most solutions should be obvious. If not, try getting checking out the full source (the readme has directions)

Service similar to Airbrake.io for java applications?

We made our own api for airbrake.io in java. This works fine but airbrake is displaying parameters and stacktraces in some kind of Rails style. This is somewhat annoying. Anyone know of similar services made for java?
Example of how data is displayed:
Parameters
{"controller"=>"", "action"=>""}
Stacktrace
/testapp/app/models/user.rb:53:in `public'
/testapp/app/controllers/users_controller.rb:14:in `index'

UPDATE 2015-02-13: This service no longer exists. The GitHub account linked below is gone, as is the company website.
Have you tried using Coalmine https://github.com/coalmine/coalmine_java Its meant to be used with the Coalmine service: https://getcoalmine.com/
I work at Coalmine and we have been using this internally for some time now. We just open sourced the java connector this week and I would be happy to help you get started with it. You can send me an email at brad#builtfromsource.com

Have you tried using http://code.google.com/p/hoptoad/ . It's a little out of date, but it should just need to update an endpoint to http://api.airbrake.io .
A quick google lead me to http://logdigger.com/ which is designed specific for JAVA specific sites.
I work at Airbrake, and I would be happy to work with you to make our site more JAVA friendly. Please get in touch ben#airbrake.io, and I'll see how we can better display java specific information.

Just adding to the others suggested here, but Raygun (http://raygun.io) has first class support for Java.
Read more here: http://raygun.io/java
I work for Mindscape who built Raygun so can answer any questions you may have about it: jd#mindscape.co.nz. We already have a large number of organizations using Raygun with their Java apps, although Raygun does support other platforms (.NET, Node, Rails, PHP, etc)

How to get PSF Settings in an AS400 Server using Java

I am a newbie in this site but I know anyone here can help me on this problem that I have now. I used to program Java using JDK7 and now I am facing this JTOpen API for AS400-Java interface but my problem now is how to get all the PSF Setting of my Device Description of a certain Writer?
Thanks in advance guys....
Please help.....

Check out the print API's at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/iseries/v5r4/topic/apis/print1a.htm
If you can find an API that provides the information you are looking for, it shouldn't be hard to invoke it from java.

Some of that information is available in com.ibm.as400.access.PrintObject but not all. I'd write a wrapper program/procedure over the Retrieve AFP Information (QPQRAFPI) API, and use JT400 to call that. The equivalent CL command is WRKPSFCFG.
