Clojure: Challenge your Java assumptions
http://www.networkworld.com/nljavaworldsente196545

By Joshua Fox

Clojure is a dynamic functional language for the JVM, recently
released in version 1.0. Clojure offers a new set of programming
techniques for robust code and rapid development. In particular,
it has new solutions for multicore computing. Whether you make
the shift to Clojure or stick to Java, learning about this new
language will challenge your assumptions about the best way to
design software.Read full story.

DoJo and plain web app: how to get JSON Ajax result?
http://www.javaworld.com/community/node/2959
I'm working on a simple web app built with plain JSPs, Struts 1
and DoJo. Now there is that need to be able to call server-side
methods and get responses wrapped in JSON. That is often solved
by DWR, but it's too heavy for my plain dumb project. Instead of
that I turned to JSON Plugin from Struts 2 project. It's just
one small JAR library capable of converting any (complex) Java
object into a JSON String.

Java specs and governance
http://www.javaworld.com/community/node/2944
Here's something that may come as a surprise. Did you know that
there hasn't been a JVM spec put out since 1999? If you want to
build a modern JVM, you need to start with that decade-old
document and then work your way through the various JSRs that
have been approved since then. Sun's Alex Buckley has put out a
draft version of a new edition of the JVM spec, though he notes
that "certain JCP procedures are required to produce an official
Third Edition of the Java Virtual Machine Specification."
Whether this machinery is lurching into action, he does not say.
