Released some hours ago: JBoss 3.2.2 RC 2 (3.2.x Development Releases)

and Jboss 3.0.8, from the JBoss 3.0.x production release branch variant.

They say the new versions only have minor feature enhancements…

JBoss is an Open Source, standards-compliant, Enterprise JavaBeans application server implemented in pure Java. JBoss provides JBossServer, the basic EJB container and JMX infrastructure, JBossMQ for JMS messaging, JBossMail for mail, JBossTX for JTA/JTS transactions, JBossSX for JAAS based security, JBossCX for JCA connectivity, and JBossCMP for CMP persistence.

Also today released isIf you want to give JBOSS a quick test, then why not try their fancy NetBoot demo page? all you will need is:

  • A Java 2 Runtime Environemnt or Developer’s Kit version 1.3

  • 2-20 megabytes of disk space

  • A web browser (to look at the HTTP admin console).

  • A chair to sit in so you do not faint and hurt yourself after seeing how easy this is!

JBoss integrates with Tomcat Servlet/JSP container and Jetty Web server/servlet container, and enables you to mix and match these components through JMX by replacing any component you wish with a JMX-compliant implementation for the same APIs. The goal is of course to provide a full J2EE stack in the Free/Open Source software world.

I know of projects where they use JBoss in production, but rumours say they are not too happy and long for a faster and industrial strength AppServer like BEA‘s Weblogic... well – if THAT would be free…

  • Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) a paradigm introduction

    Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) is an exciting new paradigm that should have the same effect on software development that object-oriented programming (OOP) had 15-20 years ago. AOP and OOP are not competing technologies, but actually complement each other quite nicely. OOP is great for modeling common behavior on a hierarchy of objects. Its weakness is in applying common behavior that spans multiple non-related object models; this is where AOP comes in.
