Posted on August 21st, 2011 by roland
The summer break is over and Jolokia is one step closer to 1.0. Germans might reasonably argue, ‘ehm, what summer do you talk about ?’ but at least 0.95 is now a fact and introduces two new features. Very cool features, IMO.

Lately I had to deal with Excel files as REST Http service response. I came up with a pretty clever validation mechanism in Citrus that I would like to share with you. You can apply the Excel validator to your Citrus project, too. It is not very complicated as you will see in this post.
