HTTP Statusses 7XX

Now add even more fun with randomizing HTTP Status 7XX.

A new version for Jersey has been released.

With using getRandom method you can return a randomized HTTP 7XX status (e.g. instead of sever error 500 or on unimplemented API calls )

Get the dependency with

<dependency>
    <groupId>be.redlab.jersey</groupId>
    <artifactId>http-7xx</artifactId>
    <version>1.1</version>
</dependency>

Release Info and tag at github

The new release also removes the rebel.xml file from the resources. Although it’s not in the source control, it was in the released artifact due to building that locally. The release is a bit over time due to my gpg key that was expired, that’s fixed now.

/**
 * Puzzle your users with returning a pseudo random HttpStatus7xx on every call.
 *
 * @return a pseudo randomly chosen HttpStatus7xx
 */
public static HttpStatus7xx getRandom() {
	return HttpStatus7xx.values()[RND.nextInt(MAX_RND)];

I personally consider it a good conference, because in this two years I picked up some things to take home with me. No, not gadgets or stuff from sponsors but valuable ideas to bring in practice or read up about to get deeper into them. What did I pick up this year?

Going on holidays and leaving all means of communication behind, except an offline GPS, makes you realize how much you’re used to all these ways of communication like Twitter, Google+, news sites, cellphoning, searchengines etc.

Before going on holidays for a week I decided not to take my smartphone with me. It must have been almost 2 years I was disconnected from the outside world for at least a week. Was it hard to bare?
