Progress
Thursday, October 17, 2002

We're making progress at work, and it feels good to say the word we. My lone teammate (the other one is out this week) had seemed quite frustrated with her speed up until today's big push forward. This morning we were finally able to pull down our Vector of HashMaps from an EJB and use nested logic:iterate tags in Struts to display the data. We celebrated with snacks in the cafeteria.

Since that point morale has been high, even when we hit some setbacks this afternoon. Fortunately, I was able to work out some of the kinks in EAServer (or at least my understanding of it) and get myself a bit more acquainted with the java.io.Serializable marker interface and we're both looking forward to tomorrow's work.

In classic emergent design style, we ended up ditching the HashMaps in favor of some custom JavaBeans, giving us more control over the presentation in our JSP's. I'm finally up to my neck in a full-fledged Java project and loving every moment.
