My goal is to identify potential problems with using Scala in my work environment. Most apps are small-to-middling sized web applications used internally to support a sales and manufacturing company. Relevant technologies used are:
- Glassfish for the application server
- JSF/Facelets for the view layer
- Eclipse for the IDE. Although there is some attraction for Netbeans.
- Yes, we still build with Ant. Being a mouth-breather, I can't quite wrap my head around Maven.
- Continuous Integration. We use Hudson, but I'm more wed to the idea of CI than to any particular server.
My brainstorm list of questions to be answered:
- Can I build ejb3s with Scala?
- JSF-managed beans?
- Spring-managed beans?
- How do I structure builds with mixed Java/Scala code?
- Can I use annotations? Create them in Scala?
I'm sure that I'll come up more as I go along.
