Notification Service: Now what (again!)?
7 December 2008Yes, I know — we’ve been here before, but since that time, we actually ticked off the first item on the list, so now it is time once again to contemplate where things go from here. We could just keep going down that list of items to the next issue and start making some additional [...]

I sat down to create the NotificationTemplateServlet and realized that I don’t really want to put that particular artifact into the notify project. The notify project is a .jar project, and I generally put the servlets into [...]
Notification Service: Project web site

Since Maven does virtually all of the work, I figured that it would be a relatively simple thing to do, and then it would just be [...]
Next up: the Notification service
