2. Embedded Jetty and Apache CXF: Secure REST Services With Spring Security

Recently I ran into very interesting problem which I thought would take me just a couple of minutes to solve: protecting Apache CXF/ JAX-RS REST services with Spring Security in an application running inside embedded Jetty container.

3. Developing Services with Apache Camel - Part II: Creating and Testing Routes

This article is the second in a series on Apache Camel and how I used it to replace IBM Message Broker for a client.
