Upgrading to xCode 6.4

After you upgrade to xCode 6.4 you will notice that the SDK for iOS 7.1 is no longer available. If you still want to be able to build for iOS7 and run a simulator for iOS7 then you will need to do a little bit of manual work.

First if you go to Preferences --> Downloads within xCode you should see a component listed for the iOS 7.1 simulator.  Click on the download arrow in order for it to be downloaded and installed.

However you will notice that there is no download for the base SDK for 7.1.  You will need to manually install it in order for it to be available to xCode 6.4.

You will want to check and confirm what SDKs are actually installed.  You can check by opening a terminal on your MAC and then proceeding to the directory /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/Platforms/iPhoneOS.platform/Developer/SDKs.

If you do not see a folder for iPhoneOS7.1.sdk you will want to extract a copy of the SDK into your Xcode SDK directory structure.  You could either attempt to copy a version from an install of xCode 5.1 or you can search the web for publicly available copies of the SDK.  Here is one I found download here .  Once you have the download, copy the SDK folder, iPhoneOS7.1.sdk to the SDKs directory indicated above.

Note: Make sure the permissions are appropriate on the folder.  Check the permission on the other SDK folders and replicate both the owner and group if necessary.

Once you have it in place restart/start xCode.  You should now be able to select from either the 8.x or 7.1 SDK now when building or running from within xCode.

Where to start on AngularJS for Java Developer

Background: If you are a Java developer who is comfortable using Eclipse (JEE Developer version) you may be asking yourself where to start with AngularJS. There is all kinds of documentation out there in regards to AngularJS and https://angularjs.org/ provides, to the point, tutorials on how to get started. You can certainly go that route and use node.js embedded server and possibly a Javascript focused IDE like WebStorm. However I wanted to try and stay in a comfort zone, my comfort zone, of Eclipse and be in a position to deploy an Angular application to a container like Tomcat. This blog entry will present the trail I took to try and accomplish it. Note: This is an adventure into Angular 1.x, not 2.x.  I would imagine this could all work with 2.x as well as it is focused on the dev environment setup. Start: Well the one consistent thing you will find to get started is to install the AngularJS Plugin, provided by Angelo ZERR.  You can use the Eclipse 4.5 (Mar...

WSO2: Simple Pass through proxy (REST to REST with HTML Reply)

Today I set out on trying to set up a simple passthrough proxy that would allow for a GET request to be made to REST style backend services that replies with HTML content. The proxy services was being set up on WS02 ESB v4.8.0.  I thought this was really going to be as simple as walking though their wizard and setting up a new proxy endpoint that just handed off to the behinds the scene service. It was straight forward to set up the proxy, but then unfortunately when called it just didn't respond. It took quite awhile to figure out what the issues was.  At first I was using the ESB admin console and review the System and Application Logs.  The Application Logs were certainly more useful, but they still truncated stack traces which made it hard to clue in on the real issue. It wasn't until I went and review the logs on the server that I was able to detect the cause.   <wso2_esb_root>/repository/logs/wso2-esb-errors.log 2015-03-19 16:09:43,00...

Swag your Swagger

Document your REST API with Swagger Swagger is a great tool to allow you do document your REST based APIs and provides an interactive sandbox for clients or testers to interact with the API.  Certainly go and check out what Swagger has to offer at  Swagger.io  . However as I found as of 2016, most of the examples available on the web regarding how to get Swagger up and running details what to do when you are using Spring-boot.  Therefore I'm providing my write up to assist anyone who is trying to make swagger available form a SpringMVC application.  I had a surprising level of pain getting it to work, considering the lack of details regarding specifics for this type of application. As is becoming common in my posts, I will first provide you a quick summary of the stack (tools/framework in play).  Things are constantly evolving and you will need to assess your frameworks and version versus what I used in May of 2016. Prerequisite stack: Spring-co...
