welcome to compsigh.com - my blog. i'll mostly be posting articles related to my work as a java architect in Vancouver, BC. This first post will serve simply to introduce the technologies that went into creating this blog.

prevaylor (http://www.prevaylor.org) - transparent persistence; i maintain a simple set of business objects for my blog and prevaylor ensures they get persisted to disk without me having to worry about mapping to relational or hierarchical (xml) formats. i used the XmlSnapshotManager component of prevalor so that the business objects would be persisted as an XML file.

javamail: i use an email client to post my articles. the blog tool has a pop3 client to pick up the posts which it parses and adds to my blog. if you leave a comment to any of my posts they will be added to the blog and will also be sent back to my email client via smtp.
