+ <p><b>Production sites:
</b>jboss beats Weblogic and Websphere as the preferred production server for a
start-up Company. yes! yes! yes!. A start-up Company ,called "Liquidwit",
selling online creativity prefers us over our mammoth competitors. Liquidwit CTO,
Caskey sends us a feel good message reporting the successful launch of his website.
Runs all on java and jboss for EJB.A large production site is handled by jboss in
BETA-PROD. We are very proud and it is always good to hear successes since we are so
much into the code we tend to believe we do crap :) so we like when people send us
"amazing-work-guys" messages as we continue working down here in the mine.
Thanks for the buzz.</p>
+ <p><b>OpenJODA</b>: XO3 bundles jboss
in their application server and target the Fortune 1000 companies. They kick off with
a $50k contest of development on a framework with tomcat+jboss. Distribution of jboss
increases.</p>
+ <p><b>Manual: </b>Aaron and Richard
spear head the "manual" effort. We are putting all the available
documentation under one framework. The user manual will be final stone as we reach
FINAL</p>
+ <p><b>FINAL: </b> Marc Fleury
announces that the date for the FINAL version will be October 1st. Rickard and
Marc take a first pass a the design of a clustering solution for jboss based on JINI.
It looks simple enough that we will deliver it for FINAL. The Production quality for
jboss means clustering and we will do it, by popular demand! There are also a
few outstanding issues we want to adress before the FINAL jboss2.0 release. A
biggy we want to do in the coming weeks is the IN-VM integration of Tomcat so that we
can offer a full stack of j2ee apis in VM (read speedy).</p>

Game Over is almost done.</p>

doco. Andreas updates the manual with EJX howto and documentation for newbie users. We
are betting heavily on our ease of use and the manual comes in handy, andy...</p>
+ <p><b>Catalina: </b>Sebastien Sahuc
posts the much expected Catalina integration. The Apache folks are seeing the
interceptor route as the way to go and it makes future integration a breeze for us.
JMX still comes in handy in multifaceted integration and the next generation
Tomcat is already in :)</p>
+ <p><b>Daemons: </b>As some folks go in
Production with jboss they want to run it as daemon in Linux. Instructions as to how
to do this in Linux and NT are posted to the lists and integrated in the doco.</p>

+ <p><b>Doclets</b>: So Rickard comes up
with the doclets. You can now generate all the code you need including Home and Remote
classes from a simple tag based language in your Bean class (based on Taglib). We can
extend it to help in CMP 2.0. Cool company, cool code.</p>
+ <p><b>Minerva: </b>Aaron Mulder
makes Minerva the standard connection manager for jboss. XA is still a web aberation
but that doesn't scare us! Ah legacy, legacy!</p>
+ <p><b>Castor JDO: </b>From Russia
with Code! Oleg Nitz finishes the Castor JDO integration. As we continue the best
of breed integration we needed to offer Java Data Object to our developers.
Oleg uses the ease of integration of JMX to offer yet another valuable plugin to
jboss.</p>
+ <p><b>BETA-PROD-01 IS ONLINE:
</b>Ok the much anticipated PRODUCTION release of jboss is finally online. Yes,
put it online, give it a spin, and you'll realize that we've reached production
quality.. Thank you to all those that have helped (updates to the team coming soon)</p>

+ <p><b>JMX Connector: </b>Good
code! Mad Andy!<b> "</b>Mad" Andy post a final implementation of the
JMX Connector. We now offer remote access to the bare administration of
jboss. The way this is going is that we can now offer more high level tools for the
administration of all jboss and the bare API access offers most flexibility.</p>
+ <p><b>Stubless RMI: </b>Look Ma! No
stubs!. The coolest sheit is always coded here first. That's right officer we code the
future and where we are going we don't need no stubs!. Rickard Oberg keeps on keeping
and prototypes a stub-less future that can work without compilation of any kind or the
daily craziness most WebLogic developers put up with :). Ease of use is still what we
need and what we want. Go read his book (when it comes out).</p>
+ <p><b>JAWS MetaData: </b>Discreetly
and with deadly accuracy, Sebastien Alborini rewrites the JAWS metadata so that
it can work from standard configurations. Differential MetaData enable users to
specify "nothing" :) ease of use comes with fancy words, but what it means
is that the mappings are provided by default for all standard commercial databases and
you only provide what you want to overwrite which means zippo most times !</p>

We are sorry but BETA-PROD is delayed. We want to make sure that everything
is kosher as we know people are going to go into production with this. Ok so we
promised it for September 1st and our deadline is slipping...so sue us! better yet,
help us!</p>
+ <p><b>EJB Pool: </b>we just received a
notification of a post on ejb-interest pooling the usage of app servers, we are very
happy that people are using the alpha release so massively... hehe the
BETA release should even increase these numbers. The following numbers are on a
total of 310 votes</p>

(14.2%), Inprise Application Server ( 8.7%), IBM Websphere ( 8.4%), Pramati Server (

+ <p>We know where we want to be next
year ;-)</p>
+ <p><b>Doco: </b>We have completely
updated the documentation. It now features beginners and advanced trails. It
covers the differential metadata and takes you by the hand for all sorts of database
madness. Using jboss is as simple as a walk in the park, well at least that is what
the doco claims. Go check it out and thanks to the many contributors who have helped
put this massive effort in place.<br>
