I do software development work using Java and Java-related technologies. Recent work includes the following:

work on a large application for one of the agencies that is part of the USA federal government's Department of Homeland Security. Application uses EJB 3.0, Hibernate for persistence, Struts 2 as the MVC and similar technologies. Work involves a new application that uses parts of the very large existing codebase to provide needed functionality for agency personnel

Significant use of Spring application contexts, Spring MVC (model-view-controller), Spring JDBC and Hibernate helper classes, custom-created JSP elements/extension of the JSP tag interfaces and classes in Java, JavaScript code.
