Configuring Swagger with Play/Java-framework-2.5

I am trying to configure Swagger with my Play-2.5 project.
I followed this tutorial and it worked, but only for the older version of Play and not working with Play-2.5. As the project has migrated into Play-2.5, we had to remove the swagger configuration.
Firstly, the issue seemed to be with static controller vs non static controller in Play-2.5, but I ended up with proving myself wrong.
I am facing this error
type ApiHelpController is not a member of package controllers
GET /api-docs controllers.ApiHelpController.getResources
If any one knows any link for Swagger configuration with Play-2.5 for Java, please guide.
PS: there are tutorials available for Scala not for java.

Try this repo:
https://github.com/CreditCardsCom/swagger-play
I created this as a temporary workaround until we get support for Play 2.5 in the official swagger-play repo.

I have only used the Play-Swagger project from Zalando. There is a lot of documentation and the repo is kept up-to-date.
If you want a quick start you can take a look at their Activator Template - just run it and you will get the Swagger generated documentation (Swagger UI is already included). From there you can start tweaking it (look for the conf/echo.yaml file).

The problem is, the com.wordnik swagger-play2(What your tutorial is using as a library) breaks with Play 2.4 and up.
You can try this which uses a different one (io.swagger). I have used this and it works well with 2.4. But it also breaks with 2.5.

How to configure Eclipse RCP with Spring

How can I configure eclipse RCP with spring? Do I need spring dm?
Can you please show me a tutorial on how to configure spring with Eclipse RCP or Eclipse RAP?
How can I add spring to Eclipse RCP and just use it? How can I see the context everywhere?
Do I have to add something to my Target Platform?
Is there any tutorial or can you please tell me more details?
I just want to use Spring with my Eclipse RCP application.

Using Spring DM is not the only way, but I believe it's the easiest and most complete/correct way of doing it. Prior to Spring DM, there were several projects with the goal of integrating Spring and Eclipse RCP, but none of them were very simple, or very Spring-like. I have come across a blogger who is currently writing a series of articles on integrating Spring and Eclipse RCP using Spring DM. The first 4 articles cover exactly what you need to know with examples (step 0 through step 3).
The entire list of articles is here:
http://angelozerr.wordpress.com/category/java/spring/spring-dm/
That same blogger talks about his own RCP/RAP project (where he is using Spring DM) in another set of articles. These are in French, but using Google Translate makes them useful for non-French speakers. Take a look at step 7 and step 8 here:
http://angelozerr.wordpress.com/about/dynaresume/

I recently wrote a blog about this topic, you can find step-by-step tutorial here: http://blog.novatec-gmbh.de/step-step-spring-eclipse-rcp-applications/

I think my answer might be helpful to anyone (like me) looking for building Spring DM, OSGI console application.
Although its been quite sometime Since Spring DM has been inherited as Gemini Blueprint, it is recommended to use Gemini Blueprint instead of Spring DM. Nevertheless, Spring DM is also a good starting point.
This tutorial is worth looking at: http://www.jroller.com/dbrosius/entry/osgi_spring_dm_w_o
It provides step by step information
NOTE: There is a small package-name typo in Manifest.MF file that needs to be fixed. Eclipse will flag it so it's a non-issue

Learning resource for configuring Hibernate as JPA 2.0 provider on Tomcat Apache with MySQL

I am trying to created a new java project. I have tried various examples available on the web but my project works sometimes and doesn't rest of the time. It seems that there happens some error which is not thrown when hibernate is doing a secondPassCompile() after creating factory.Can someone tell me a good resource to follow or give me some pointers on where I might be going wrong?

Is there any particular reason for using Tomcat? If you are trying to learn Eclipse with Hibernate as the JPA implementation, I would suggest you use JBoss as the app server. That way you can learn EJBs along the way if you prefer. If you want to learn just Eclipse and JPA there is no need to use any server - JPA can be practised just in JavaSE.
EDIT: Recently I had to create a simple JPA project. This is what I did: Create a new Java Project in eclipse. Download Hibernate 3.6.1 from http://www.hibernate.org/downloads. From the download directory take the Hibernate.jar and from the jpa directory take the one jar there. Take all the jars from lib\required. Add the above to your buildpath. Add logback jars - classic and core jars. For the database I used HSQLDB. Just one jar hsqldb.jar. Thats it! Enjoy JPA from here onwards.

I have found the slides at http://www.coreservlets.com/ very useful when trying to get up to date with EJB3/Hibernate and JSF. Complete and yet simple enough that you do not get ovewelmed by pages and pages of sample code. I wish they had something like that for MFC.
They have materials about Hibernate, I would definitely look at them.
About the JBoss issue, it is interesting if you plan to go into EJB3 later. It is not difficult to have a basic configuration working and, on top of that, it is based in Tomcat.
That said, if you are new to Hibernate, I would definitely test it first in JavaSE and then later go with it in a server (Tomcat or whatever).

Getting started with Spring 3 Web MVC - Setting everything up

I'm trying to get started with JAVA/Eclipse/Spring MVC but can't seem to find a "dummies" or "step-by-step" guide for setting everything up and creating the simplest proof-of-concept application.
I found http://static.springsource.org/docs/...-step-by-step/ but there seem to be differences between Spring 2.5 and Spring 3 so i'm looking for something for Spring 3.
Also, the tutorial for Spring 2.5 focuses on building the application usign Ant - This i will certainly be doing for releasing but when working within Eclipse i want to have set up the project so that i can use breakpoints/debugging and this is not covered at all.
I've downloaded Eclipse, Tomcat and the Spring 3 Framework but that's about it and within the downloaded Spring Framework documentation it states:
2.3 New getting started tutorial
There is now a new getting started tutorial
for developing a basic Spring 3.0 MVC
web application. This tutorial is a
separate document that can be found at
the Spring Documentation page
However, i can't seem to find such a tutorial on the linked page. My main problem at the moment, as seems to be the case for many people trying to get started with Spring, is that i can't seem to get everything set up.
I've got a copy of Expert Spring MVC and Web Flow and i've also found this tutorial but i don't know if the setups they describe are still relevant and whether they will allow debugging.
Can anyone please give some direction?
Thanks

Get the mvc-basic or the petcare sample apps from the Spring Samples SVN repository. These samples have been updated to Spring 3.0 and are directly importable & runnable with SpringSource Tool Suite.

I am also started to learn Spring 3.0 and i am not getting any help means any tutorials. but i find this site http://viralpatel.net/blogs/2010/06/spring-3-mvc-create-hello-world-application-spring-3-mvc.html and its very help full for start up development. but still i am finding another example so that i come to know more about it
if anybody knows some example in spring 3.0 then please provide me.
Thanks

These days, I think the easiest way to find out how to set up a spring application is by trying out Spring Roo. It may not be what you finally end up using when coding your project but it shows you exactly how to setup a Spring MVC web app.

I've also been looking all over for a full Spring MVC 3.0 tutorial with Eclipse that I could follow and haven't had too much luck in my research. The closest and most helpful example that I could find is here: http://krams915.blogspot.com/2011/01/spring-mvc-3-hibernate-annotations.html. This is also a maven project, but I was able to move some things around in my Dynamic Web Project within Eclipse and at least get the initial page to come up. Currently, I'm having issues with spring finding my controller class, but I think that's a part of changing the configuration files to meet my project needs. But try it and I hope it works for you!

I found these tutorials really helpful:
http://krams915.blogspot.ch/p/tutorials.html
I wanted to use REST and MongoDB and followed following tutorial with success:
http://krams915.blogspot.ch/2012/01/spring-mvc-31-implement-crud-with_4739.html
I hope it helps. I know how you feel :) Had the same issues. But it's worth sticking with Spring and learning it. It's a great framework once you know it.
Personally I made not so good experiences using Spring Roo. It can help you maybe a little bit for investigation how to setup a project but if you are new to Aspect Oriented Development you'll have a hard time figuring out what Spring Roo does. It can help you to setup a project really fast and easy but if you don't understand what's behind the facade it's hard working with it. This is not really for a beginner and no necessity for any project. But Aspect Oriented Development is worth wile learning and can be very useful to avoid boiler plate code.

Another route might be use appfuse, specifically using maven to generate the application template code from the appfuse archetype. E.g. this link.

There is a major difference in Spring 2.5 and Spring 3.x, Spring 3 or later introduces Annotations based bean wiring and dependency injection.
The nice step by step tutorial i found is http://www.journaldev.com/3531/spring-mvc-hibernate-mysql-integration-crud-example-tutorial

Any existing Apache Wicket framework sample?

I plan to use Wicket to build a web site with database storage. I haven't used Wicket before. Is there any sample framework I can start from?

Well the Wicket site has more examples than you can shake a widget at.
Remember that Wicket is just a user-interface framework, it has nothing to say about things like database access. You'll need to look elsewhere for that (JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, etc)

If you are considering deploying to Google App Engine, I am working on a template project for Wicket applications. Visit http://code.google.com/p/wicket-gae-template/ and checkout from the Subversion trunk. It's a re-implementation of the App Engine "Guestbook" demo project, using Wicket rather than JSP. It also uses Maven for the build, JDO for persistence, Google Guice for dependency injection, and classes to support easy unit testing. Documentation on the site is nonexistent right now, so let the source code be your guide.

You can take a look at my simple CRUD example with wicket, db4o and guice. But keep in mind as skaffman pointed out: "Remember that Wicket is just a user-interface framework" (wicket is a nice one!)
Nevertheless in my post I listed some projects which can be helpful if you want to use wicket with a persistence solution:
wicketopia
databinder
wicketrad
Wicket-Iolite
antilia
wicket-phonebook
pure hibernate
wicket-grails plugin
If you would like to use guice or spring with wicket then probably these archetypes could help you to get started.
If you like building fancy apps take a look at this page.
