Projects

Mule in Action, Manning Publications. No, I'm not writing the book, I only wish I was! I am, however, an official reviewer of the book.
Mattress Framework. The Mattress Framework is a Java and Spring based, lightweight and extensible REST framework. It is loosely related to the JSR 311 initiative, but is not compliant since much of the specification has been deemed far too complex or unnecessary.
