LDAP based user authentication in glassfish (The road less taken)
If you're using glassfish and developing a new web application that needs to be authenticated against an LDAP server, this blog talks about how you can do it.
The biggest challenge for web designers is the unthinkably huge number of possible ways to solve any given problem. We usually don't think of this because we have our habits and traditions to fall back on, but there are literally billions of possible pixel combinations for each page we make. There is a better way to manage this vast complexity than by making big decisions up front and hoping for the best. To make better sites — sites that are functional, beautiful, and "usable" — we have to break our design problems up into small independent chunks based on the real issues within our requirements.

REST and SOAP: When Should I Use Each (or Both)?
There are two ways to start a JSF application with RichFaces components with the NetBeans IDE. The first method is to create a simple JSF project within NetBeans, add RichFaces libraries and register RichFaces in web.xml . The second way is to create a Maven project, add JSF and RichFaces dependencies to its pom.xml , import the project into NetBeans, build it and run on the server.

Secure Web Services: REST over HTTPS vs SOAP + WS-Security. Which is better? - Stack Overflow
I don't yet have the rep needed to add a comment or I would have just added this to Bell's answer. I think Bell did a very good job of summing up the top level pros and cons of the two approaches. Just a few other factors that you might want to consider: 1) Do the requests between your clients and your service need to go through intermediaries that require access to the payload? If so then WS-Security might be a better fit.Using the Embedded EJB Container to Test Enterprise Applications
This tutorial demonstrates how to create and run JUnit tests for a Java EE enterprise application. In this tutorial you will create a web application with an entity class and a session bean. You will first create a JUnit test class for the session bean and run the test in the embedded EJB container. You will then add an entity class to the project and modify the test class to add a test method for the entity class. This tutorial requires the JUnit plugin. If you did not install the JUnit plugin when you installed the IDE, open the Plugins manager, select the Available plugins tab and install the JUnit plugin.
