A few days ago I had a challenging task in Java: I had to add a custom header to my SOAP request using Axis 2. But the custom header had to be passed as a HTTP header, not in the SOAP Envelope, since it was used by a Filter and it had nothing to do with the rest of the request. The Filter simply gets a ServletRequest, gets the extra parameter from the HTTP header and does something with it, without having to parse the SOAP Envelope. It’s not that hard to do, there is documentation on this issue, but because there can hardly be found a good example, one may waste several hours trying different solutions. Continue reading »
Add custom HTTP header to an Axis 2 SOAP request
May 4th, 2012Chip tuning on my Logan in Cluj
April 23rd, 2012I am currently driving a Dacia Logan from 2010. It’s not a race car, I wanted a new car instead of a used one and this was the one I could afford. It has a tiny 1.4 engine, so you can imagine its performance… 75 massive HPs. To be honest, it would be enough for a normal driver, who only wants to get from point A to point B, but that’s just not me, I used to drive a bit more aggressively, enjoy overtaking long queues of cars, but those 75 HPs are not really helping me… Continue reading »

First I’ve though I didn’t need a smartphone, I thought I would only use it for calling or texting anyway, for any other stuff, there is my laptop. But I got used to it quite fast and even though this is my first day without it, I miss it very much… Continue reading »
From EspresSoft to FRSGlobal
February 19th, 2012I have spent exactly 17 months at EspresSoft working as… uh… it is really hard to tell, because I did a lot of stuff and worked with a lot of technologies. But now I’ve felt the need to make a change, not only because of the salary, but I wanted to be part of something big and instead of trying out a bunch of technologies, I want to get specialized in two or three.

30 day challenges – the first one
January 3rd, 2012I need to write a short essay on a person who is working on the same domain as I am writing my paper on for my Master degree and since the topic of my paper is SEO, I’ve chosen to write about Matt Cutts. Today I googled him while I was working, I was just curious if I have enough sources about him and accidentally bumped into his speech at TED… Continue reading »
When the dance ends…
December 15th, 2011I’ve been attending the tanc.ro dance courses since October and sadly yesterday was the last course… I have mixed feelings, I’m unbelievably happy for completing it, but I am going to miss the courses a lot. I’ve had a lot of fun, sometimes only my laughter could be heard in the whole room. Continue reading »
