First install Buildr as per http://buildr.apache.org/installing.html#jruby, unzip the project archive, cd to project root directory, then run buildr clean test.

You may also find http://buildr.apache.org/languages.html#scala useful.

Tested with JDK 6, JRuby 1.5.1, Buildr 1.4.0 and Scala 2.7.7.

The configuration was produced following the guidance given in Luke Taylor’s recent blog entry.

UPDATE: Apparently this can also be done using the security namespace like so:

<http entry-point-ref="digestAuthenticationEntryPoint">
    <intercept-url pattern="/**" access="ROLE_USER" />
    <custom-filter ref="digestAuthenticationFilter" position="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" />
</http>

In a nutshell, the book was a short read, concise, and for the most part, readable and useful to the aspiring software architect.

The items provided a good balance between people, business and technology issues. I was able to associate many of the items with real-life experiences. In addition, useful practical principles were presented for each domain.

Unfortunately, there were also a few items that were less useful, mostly due to

• Overly complicated or poorly styled language (making them difficult to read)
• Overuse of fancy metaphors and quotes that did not shed any light into anything as far as I’m concerned
• Lack of real content (though it may be that I simply did not realize their value)

Nevertheless, the book is definitely worth the read.

For the record, I’m not a software architect (yet).
