500 <a href="developers.htm">developers</a> world wide is working
to deliver the full range of J2EE tools as the premier Enterprise
Java application server for the Java 2 Enterprise Edition platform.
The jBoss/Server and complement of products are delivered under
a public license. </p>
<p>Why should you pay tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars
to Java-enable your business enterprise? At those costs it doesn�t
take long to figure out there is no future in that, unless you are
the server vendor! But jBoss is not just about zero cost. Our tools
are innovative. We sport features, such as �hot deploy� and
�runtime-generated
stub and skeleton objects,� that can�t be found in many commercial
Enterprise Java
servers,
no matter how much you are willing to pay!</p>
So
what are you waiting for? <a href="binary.htm">Download</a>
jBoss/Server
and our other jBoss tools today and try them out. Join the community

<p>Developers, by nature, seek a standard enterprise-ready platform.
Microsoft is pushing their paper spec �.NET� on Windows. If you
want a multi-platform standard with two years behind it, we recommend
Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), sponsored by SUN and IBM.
<p>JBoss is a free, Open Source J2EE-based implementation.

an open industry process. Today, there are about 30 J2EE application
server vendors. The most popular charges more than $50,000 for a
medium-sized
installation.
<p>Enterprise developers can draw on J2EE to speed up their application
development. Instead of hand writing database code or pool management,
they can leverage Enterprise Java Beans (EJBs) to automatically
store data.
<p>Instead of manually dealing with transactions, system developers
can use J2EE�s built-in capabilities to run transactions in an
automated
fashion. Instead of creating all business code from scratch,
consultants
can assemble components to build their application in a �Lego"
fashion.

Pages) and directory services (JNDI).
<p>JBoss, one of the leading java Open Source groups, integrates and

<td class="newsbody"> As a web operating system, J2EE is infrastructure.
As such, we believe it is a natural fit for the collaborative, Open
Source mode of development facilitated by the Internet. Our group,
composed of volunteers from around the world, chooses to open the
server and container development. We believe this standard�s reference
implementation should be publicly owned.
<p>The extreme size and complexity of this sort of operating system
is yet another compelling reason for it to exist in Open Source.
Even Microsoft has had difficulties stabilizing Windows 2000. We,
at jBoss, believe that Open Source technology is a credible, efficient
and cost-effective way to scale the development of these large
systems.

<td class="newsheader"><b>Who uses J2EE technology and why?</b></td>

<tr>
<td class="newsbody"><b>1- Independent software vendors</b><br>
Two years ago, many Independent Software Vendors (ISVs) developing
Enterprise applications took the Java route. ISVs would development
in-house, proprietary infrastructure software for lack of a defined,
open standard. This development is time-consuming, expensive and
complex.
Today most ISVs outsource that infrastructure development to a J2EE
server vendor in order to focus on "business logic." Choosing an open
source server makes sense from a pricing standpoint because the
application
price won�t reflect the infrastructure cost. It also makes sense from
a technological standpoint because you have access to the code, which
makes for a tighter integration. According to our statistics, about
20% of people who download jBoss do so with the objective of embedding
it in their applications. <br>
<p><b>2- IT departments/Startups </b><br>
A recent study showed that Java/J2EE, which claims 60% of IT
development,
is already the dominant platform for Enterprise Web Software. Most
people use our container as a stand-alone web application server.
In many instances, we have been chosen over more pricey competitors
for both development and production. We sport features, such as
hot deploy and runtime-generated stub and skeleton objects
(distributed
invocation enablers), that can't be found in most commercial tools
no matter how much you are willing to pay! <br>
</p>
<p><b>3- ISP/ASP, the next wave of Enterprise Software Hosting </b><br>
Most ISP providers already offer Web Hosting for static web pages.
For more "enterprise level hosting," you need a J2EE platform. Going
beyond simple logic and cgi-bin, jBoss was designed for Application
Service Provider (ASP) settings. One can deploy its applications
on a set of hosted machines and have a web-based Java Management
Extension (JMX) console to manage the remote servers. Our integration
with Java Server Page (JSP) engines makes jBoss the candidate of
choice for ISP usage. While most J2EE vendors do not focus on this
market, Jboss is well suited for it in two ways. First, the code
is modular so you can administer various configurations, in order
to fit every client�s specific needs. Second, there is no license
fee per CPU, so you can grow a J2EE server farm at little cost.
<p><b>4- Module and 3rd party developers</b><br>
Behind jBoss� Open Source success is a highly modular design, which
allows us to scale development. From the ground up, jBoss is built
around the concept of modules and plug-ins. We use the JMX
specification
to configure and administer the different plug-ins. We integrate
various modules, from Tomcat to cocobase, to offer a state-of-the-art
J2EE container. By integrating in JBoss, developers gain access
to the dominant application development market and increase the
deployment potential for their technology.

<td class="newsbody"> Most people come here to learn cutting edge skills.
Many of our contributors are experts in the field and highly recognized
individuals in the industry. We see many independent software developers
in our ranks. If you are a startup looking for a container to embed
in your application you can meet all your needs here. If you are a
student, you will find jBoss to be a perfect learning tool, as our
code implements many modern high-level java software design concepts.
Finally, it�s a chance to do the right thing. We believe J2EE is the
mass platform of the future and we are working hard to make it a
reality...
the information age's infrastructure deserves to be free. <br>

<p><font face="Myriad

makes wrinkles.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Why? Why another build tool when there is already make, gnumake, nmake,
jam, and others? Because, they are limited to the OS, or at least the OS type such as
Unix, that you are working on. Makefiles are inherently evil as well. </font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Ant is different. Instead a model where it is extended with shell based
commands, it is extended using Java classes. Instead of writing shell commands, the
configuration files are XML based calling out a target tree where various tasks get
executed. Each task is run by an object which implements a particular Task interface.
Granted, this removes some of the expressive power that is inherent by being able to
construct a shell command such as `find . -name foo -exec rm {}` but it gives you the
ability to be cross platform. To work anywhere and everywhere. And hey, if you really
need to execute a shell command, Ant has an exec rule that allows different commands
to be executed based on the OS that it is executing on. </font></p>

<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">CVS is a version control system. It is used to record the history of your
source files. Bugs can creep in when software is modified, and may not be detected
until a long time after the modification is made. With CVS, you can retrieve old
versions to find which change caused the bug. </font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">CVS can also help when a project is being worked on by multiple people,
where overwriting each others changes is easy to do.CVS solves this problem by having
each developer work in his/her own directory and then instructing CVS to merge the
work when each developer is done. </font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-EJB"></a>What is Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) is a <a
href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html">specification and architecture</a>
for the development and deployment of component-based, distributed business
applications on the Java platform. It is a significant part of Java 2 Enterprise
Edition (J2EE) - a unified architecture and platform for delivering the benefits of
the Java platform to the server-based computing environment.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">A business component that is developed for the Enterprise JavaBean
architecture is also confusingly called an Enterprise JavaBean. These components may
be written once, and then deployed on any server platform that supports the Enterprise
JavaBeans specification. A key goal of the EJB architecture is to make the job of
developing EJB components and the client applications that access them very simple
indeed. Much of this is achieved by defining an architectural entity called a
<i>container</i> - an EJB container - that acts as a buffer between EJB components and
their client as well as between EJB components and the very complex reality of
developing scalable, distributed systems. An EJB container is itself contained within
an <i>EJB server</i>.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Further information about Enterprise JavaBeans is available on the <a
href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/index.html">Enterprise JavaBeans home
page</a>.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-JAVABEANS"></a>Are JavaBeans different from Enterprise
JavaBeans ?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Yes, JavaBeans are different from Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs). Both
JavaBeans and EJBs are units of packaged functionality but they are designed to
function in very specific and different environments. JavaBeans facilitate black box
reuse of visual and non-visual components within JavaBean-aware IDEs. EJBs on the
other hand are non-visual components that can only be deployed in an EJB-compliant
Java application server. </font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">JavaBeans are basically just classes executed in the JVM, while EJBs are
managed objects that are deployed within an EJB application server. JavaBeans may be
driven by events, but EJBs are currently just driven by remote method calls.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-JAS"></a>What is a Java Application Server
?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">In the current context, a Java application server is a sophisticated
software system that provide a run-time environment for executing components written
in Java. The widespread adoption of the EJB standard from the J2EE specification has
ensured that a well written component can be without additional development work
deployed in almost all Java application servers.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-DEPLOYMENT"></a>What does Deployment mean ?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Deployment is the act of preparing and sending the bean(s) to the
application server to become available as application components. In preparation for
deployment, any resources that the bean provider has used in the code must be
associated with real resources, transactional attirbutes may be specified, security
attributes may be set, and any other container-specific settings will all be specified
in deployment descriptors. The compiled code and the deployment descriptors will all
be jarred together into an application jar and then the jar will be placed in the
necessary location for the application server to use. The final act of deployment is
the application server parsing the deployment descriptors, preparing the container
environment, and then binding the bean names to the naming service to make them
available for calls.</font></p>

<p><font face="Myriad

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-TRANSMGMT"></a>What is Transaction Management
?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">A transaction is an atomic and reliable unit of program execution .
Transactions systems are invaluable in any system that support concurrent processing.
For example, if multiple clients are using the same database table concurrently, it's
possible that the database write operations they perform could leave the table in an
inconsistent state. With transactional support, each user see a transaction as an
operation that either completes successfully or not at all. The possibility of
inconsistencies arising as result of their interleaved database operations is
removed. </font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">The Enterprise JavaBeans architecture provides automatic support for
distributed transactions in component based applications. Such distributed
transactions can atomically update data in multiple databases. The burden of managing
transactions is thus shifted from the bean developer to the EJB container and/or
server.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Read chapter 11 of the EJB 1.1 spec if you are interested in knowing more
about Transaction Management.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-GENERAL-PERSISTENCE"></a>What is Bean / Container Managed
Persistence ?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">With respect to Enterprise JavaBeans (EJBs), persistence is a term that
describes the process whereby the the state of an active (stateful?) EJB is stored
(usually to a database) in such a way that the EJB can be reactivated later. It is
serialization for EJBs if you like.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">There are two flavours of persistence in EJB - Bean-Manage Persistence
(BMP) and Container-Managed Persistence (CMP). The main difference between the two
flavours is who is responsible for <i>actually</i> persisting the EJB. In BMP the bean
developer is responsible for writing the code that persists the beans state (maybe
using JDBC?) while in CMP, the container is reponsible. In CMP a bean developer might
not even <i>know</i> what object-relational database persistence is let alone how it
works?. Pretty neat.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">A relevant excerpt from the <a
href="http://java.sun.com/products/ejb/docs.html">EJB 1.1. specification</a> itself,
on page 100:</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">"The entity bean component protocol allows the entity Bean Provider
either to implement the entity bean's persistence directly in the entity bean class or
in one or more helper classes provided with the entity bean class (bean-managed
persistence), or to delegate the entity bean's persistence to the Container Provider
tools used at deployment time (container-managed persistence)."<br>

<p><font face="Myriad

projects</b> much like the "Apache group" of Apache Server fame. jBoss
people come from all over the world... 'Silicon Valley' California, London and the
rest of the UK, France, Sweden, Siberia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia and there's
even a few from the 'Tropical Antarctic' (otherwise known as New Zealand).</font></p>

<p><font face="Myriad

<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">There is quite a <a
href="http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg00262.html">long
post</a> discussing this question. In short, if you use a third party plug-in, then
you must adhere to the license of that third party plug-in <i>in addition</i> to the
jBoss license. For jBoss stuff, any of your classes that <b>import</b> jBoss classes
directly must be GPL.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Please note that standard Enterprise JavaBeans do not import jBoss code.
They access jBoss's functionality indirectly via the J2EE APIs. Hence they do
<i>not</i> import jBoss classes and do not have to be GPL'ed.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-JBOSS-REMOTE"></a>How do I get my client working from a remote
machine ?</font></h3>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">This is a very common question and there are a couple options. The key is
to provide the correct server into the environment so that InitialContext performs its
lookup on the correct machine. One option is to set a couple system properties with
the correct information, another is to hard-code the properties, and a third option is
to use a standard jndi.properties file. Forget the hard-code option, here are the
others:</font></p>
<ul>
<li><font
face="Myriad Web,Arial">System Properties Specify java.naming.factory.initial and
java.naming.provider.url when you start your client. </font>
<pre><font face="Myriad Web,Arial"><code> java -cp $CLASSPATH <br>
-Djava.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory
</code></font></br>
<code> -Djava.naming.provider.url=remote.host.name <br>
org.opengroupware.logic.test.AuthenticateTest</code></font>
</font></pre>
<li><font
face="Myriad Web,Arial">jndi.properties Create a file called jndi.properties with the
following two lines (and put the jndi.properties file into the classpath of the
client): </font>
<pre><font
face="Myriad Web,Arial"><code>
java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory</code></font></br>
<font face="Myriad Web,Arial"><code>
java.naming.provider.url=remote.host.name</code></font>
<font face="Myriad Web,Arial"><code> </code></font></ul>
</pre>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">For both of the options above, the instantiation of the InitialContext with
use the default constructor: </font></p>
<pre><font
face="Myriad Web,Arial"><code> Object reference = new InitialContext().lookup(
"encryption.NoCrypt" );</code></font></pre>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Obviously, you need to narrow that object reference - this is just an
example of getting a reference from JNDI.</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-BEANDEV-RESOURCEPREFIX"></a>When do I need to prefix a lookup

<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">java:comp/env is used to prefix a resource that the bean is looking up in
the JNDI naming context. Looking up other bean or resources are examples where you
would prefix the JNDI name that the resource is bound to with java:comp/env</font></p>

<h3><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial"><a name="FAQ-BEANDEV-ACCESSBEANS"></a>How do I access beans in a different

same as if the beans were in the same jar. Configure EJB references as described in
section 14.3 of EJB 1.1 Spec and use JNDI to find the bean as any other
resource.</font></p>

<p> The jBoss/CastorJDO integration is an effort led by Oleg Nitz.
<p>The <a
href="http://access1.sun.com/jdo/">"Java Data Objects specification"</a>
says:</p>
<p><i>Java Data
Objects is a suitable component for integration with EJB in these scenarios:</i></p>
<ul>
<li><i>Session
Beans with JDO classes as dependent objects;</i>
<li><i>Entity
Beans with JDO classes as delegates for both Bean Managed Persistence</i>
</ul>
<p>This also applies
to Castor JDO, which was inspired by the same source as the quoted specification: <a
href="http://java.sun.com/aboutJava/communityprocess/jsr/jsr_012_dataobj.html">JSR-12
"Java Data Objects Specification"</a>. Castor JDO used with Session beans
and BMP Entity Beans serves as an alternative to CMP Entity Beans, and is in many
cases more fast and efficient. However, Castor doesn't complies to the the Sun JDO
specification yet. Castor JDO is RDBMS-oriented and serves as O/R mapper, while the
current draft of Sun JDO specification seems to be OODBMS-oriented.</p>
<p>The jBoss/Castor
integration makes it possible to use Castor JDO DataObjects factories as bean
resources. These resources can be found in the JNDI namespace of the beans.</td>

<li>the database configuration file needed by
the Castor JDO, it contains JNDI name of JDBC DataSource and

<pre>
<database name="test" engine="oracle" >
<jndi name="dataSourceJndiName"/>
<mapping href="mapping.xml" />
</database>
</pre>
It is recommended to place it in "conf" directory or in one of its

At least, don't place them to your EJB jar files.
See Castor documentation for further info on the content of the
Castor configuration files.</li>

or via EJB jar classpath (i.e. either they are in the same jar or
they are accessible via Class-Path: attribute of META-INF/MANIFEST.MF) -
in this case set the argument to <b>false</b>.
If you need to access the same JDO class from different bean jar files,
better load this class via ClassPathExtension MLET, otherwise changes
that are done in one bean may not be visible in the other bean
(due to separate Castor caches for the two Class instances).
</ol>
<li>Declare the resource managers in your jboss.xml besides your

<pre>
<resource-managers>
<resource-manager

<res-name>dataSourceNameForBean</res-name>
<res-jndi-name>dataSourceJndiName</res-jndi-name>

</li>
<li>Declare the resource manager JNDI ENC for the beans in ejb-jar.xml, e.g.:

<li>Get the JDO object in your bean as :
<pre>

The Minerva JDBC connection pooling module has been added to the

thanks to Aaron Mulder. This module complements JAWS by adding a
pluggable
connection pooling mechanism.</font>
<p>During development of jBoss/Server version 1.0 (then known as
EJBoss),
our team recognized the need for an object-to-relational (O-R) mapping
tool. Enter JAWS, the acronym for "Just Another Web Storage," an
API for mapping Enterprise JavaBeans objects to relational database
persistent stores. The jBoss/JAWS project has since taken on a life
of its own. That's because we are not only maintaining and enhancing
the original code base that defined a simple, yet proprietary O-R
mapping tool, we are now also extending the product to support the
popular third-party O-R mapping tools being employed by some
jBoss/Server
users. That means there's plenty of work to do, so you can join
the jBoss/JAWS project and contribute to the coolest O-R mapping
open source project around. We encourage you to view the jBoss/JAWS
mail archives. </p>

<td class="newsheader"><b>What
is O/R Mapping?</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="newsbody">O-R
mapping technology grew out of the differences between how object-oriented languages
represent objects in memory and how relational databases store data on disk. Objects
in the Java language might contain only primitive data types such as int, double, and
very simple aggregate objects such as String, making it very easy to express the
object's layout on disk. In the case of storing such a simple object in a flat disk
file, you would just write each primitive data type variable and each String object in
their string form sequentially into the flat file. As you can imagine, reading such
objects back from disk into a memory-based object would be just as easy. However, what
about storing more complex objects such as those that contain other objects that
contain yet other objects? And what about storing both simple and complex objects into
relational databases?<p>
Of course the more complex the object that must be stored to disk, the more
intelligent the O-R mapping tool must be. An O-R mapping tool must understand how to
traverse the complex object's memory graph and figure out how to store it to and read
it from disk. To add to the complexity, the graph of a single object might contain
multiple objects that each reference a single, unique object, and it could also
contain objects that recursively reference themselves or the original object. In these
cases the O-R mapping tool would have to avoid persisting the same object multiple
times, perhaps even ending up in an endless loop because of the self-referencing
composition! On the other hand, all complex Java objects finally boil down to
variables of primitive data types and those of class String. Therefore, while it can
be quite challenging to persist very complex objects, it is not impossible. There is
definitely light at the end of the tunnel.

supports both EJB Session Beans and Entity Beans. EJB Session Beans
are responsible for implementing the business logic of your middle
tier application. As their name implies, they are also responsible
for handling the conversational session between the client side and
the middle tier. Sessions may be either stateless or stateful.
<p> A stateless
session means that the Session Bean instance remembers no state between
calls from a given client object. A stateful session, on the other
hand, must maintain state data between separate remote method
invocations
by the same client. This implies that one Stateful Session Bean must
be allocated for each client creating it, and, therefore, requires
more resource and runtime overhead for the server, while a single
Stateless Session Bean may service multiple clients having overlapping
lifetimes. Entity Beans represent database entities and most often
a single Entity Bean maps to a single relational database table. Entity
Beans can be developed and deployed rapidly using Container Managed
Persistence (CMP) since all the object-to-relational database mapping
is managed by the jBoss/Server container. But if you must support
a complex and/or legacy database schema that does not easily map into
CMP, then for you the answer is Bean Managed Persistence (BMP). With
BMP you control the loading and saving of complex Entity Beans from
and to the database using fine-grained control to the SQL statement
level.

<td class="newsheader"><b>Modular Server Design</b></td>

<tr>
<td class="newsbody">
Modularly developed from the ground up, the jBoss server and container are
completely implemented using component-based plug-ins. Borrowing from the success of
Linux 2.0 and its modular approach to team-based, open source software implementation,
jBoss 2.0 is being developed by distributed team members, each working on a cleanly
separated part of the server. Our approach makes it easy for you to join our team and
contribute to the hottest open source J2EE server project around. It also ensures that
jBoss/Server will be maintained and extended for years to come.
<p>
The modularization effort is supported by the use of JMX, the Java Management
eXtension API. Using JMX, industry-standard interfaces help us manage both
jBoss/Server components and the applications deployed on it. Ease of use is still the
number one priority here at jBoss.org, and jBoss/Server 2.0 sets a new standard for
both modular, plug-in design and ease of server and application management.
<p>
This high degree of modularity benefits the application developer in several ways.
The already tight code can be further trimmed down in support of applications that
must have a very small footprint. For example, if EJB passivation is unnecessary in
your application, simply take the feature out of the server. However, if you later
decide to deploy the same application under an Application Service Provider (ASP)
model, simply enable the server's passivation feature for that Web-based deployment.
Another example is the freedom you have to drop your favorite O-R mapping tool, such
as TOPLink, right into the container.

<tr>
<td class="newsheader"><b>Features That Speed Development</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="newsbody">In addition to the fact that jBoss/Server is an
EJB 1.1 compliant application server, there are some innovative features that make our
server a pleasure to use. Specifically two features make application deployment
extremely easy to perform, saving developers much time and effort. In a phrase,
jBoss/Server takes the grunt work out of EJB application development.
<p>
First there's dynamically, runtime-generated stub and skeleton classes. In many
commercial EJB servers the generation of these classes must be performed in an
additional step prior to deployment (e.g. using an "ebjc" tool). It goes without
saying that this extra step requires additional developer overhead, adding significant
time to each change-compile-deploy cycle. By generating stub and skeleton classes on
the fly, jBoss/Server takes at least several seconds, and perhaps minutes, off of each
deployment. As an added benefit, the method used by jBoss/Server to accomplish this
time- and effort-savings feature also saves memory and other server resources since
only a single server object supports every deployed Enterprise JavaBeans component!
<p>
A second time- and effort-savings feature is automatic hot deploy and redeploy. Some
of the top commercial EJB servers require you to "bounce" the server in order to
successfully deploy your application changes. However, jBoss/Server allows you to
deploy new applications and redeploy existing applications without stopping and
restarting the server. In fact, the feature is as easy as copying your newly built EJB
JAR file to the server deployment directory where jBoss/Server picks up the new file,
automatically undeploys the old JAR (if any) and deploys the new JAR within seconds.
This feature definitely provides the benefit of slicing minutes off of each
change-compile-deploy cycle.

Messaging
Service (TM) (JMS) specification. Based on the 1.0.2
JMS specification,
spyderMQ is a clean room, pure java implementation.</font>
<p><font face="Myriad Web,Arial">It is not uncommon for the Web to
fail, for nodes to fail, and for communications in general to fail.
Therefore, distributed applications cannot always depend on a
synchronous
messaging model to reliably deliver notifications. That's why, in
addition to synchronous messaging, JMS also provides an asynchronous
messaging model that implements the Publish/Subscribe design pattern.
A Publish/Subscribe model is critical for successful collaboration
between the various participants of a distributed, e-business
application.
We believe JMS, through our jBoss/SpyderMQ component, plays a central
role in the J2EE-based "Web operating system" provided by the
jBoss.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad

as a jBoss project. Development of spyderMQ is progressing fast and spyderMQ is

has become a pressing need for the organization. There were several independent tests
done in jboss but it is the first time we spin off such a project. The modular growth
of jboss2.0 puts new demands on the testing infrastructure. A formalized approach to
software testing is being applied in JCTS, the unit tests for jboss. Under the
leadership of <b>Peter Braswell</b> it aims to become the Quality Assurance and
Conformity arm of jboss. It is important to make sure all the i's are dotted and t's
crossed in order to insure that the EJB specification has been faithfully
implemented.</font>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">Internaly to jboss, the development team will use JCTS to make sure that
things are implemented correctly and that the changes commited during the day do not
break the server. It will make sure that no functionality has been overlooked and
missed. We need to make sure that new features do not interfere with old ones,
something that is going to get harder and harder to detect at the code level as the
modular base of jboss 2.0 grows.</font></p>
<p><font face="Myriad
Web,Arial">JCTS is built on top of a testing framework (JUnit) that makes it easy to
add and run tests but most of all to get pretty clear feedback as to the outcome. It
will be used to gate the release process and to bless the code as
release-worthy.</font></p>

and deploy an EAR file on jBoss/Tomcat</b></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="newsbody" width="600">In order to benefit
from the classloader integration, you have to deploy your application in an EAR file
as recommended by the <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2ee/download.html#platformspec">J2EE specification</a>.
<p><b>Tomcat's server.xml file will not be
processed!</b></p>
<p>The reason is that we want to share the
classloader for your application between tomcat and jboss. Since this classloader must
be initialized at deployment time, your EJBs and your servlets/JSPs must be bundled
together for jboss to know who talks to whom!</p>
<p>In case you don't want to read all the J2EE
spec, here is a brief summary of what you have to do:</p>
<ol>
<li><b>Write your beans</b> and
package them in an ejb-jar file. You don't have to do anything special here. See the
<a href="../../projects/jbossweb/manual/developing.html">manual</a> for details on how
to package beans for jboss.<br>
<li><b>Write your servlets/JSPs</b>
and package them in a war file. Assuming you have a bean deployed under the jndi name
"myBean", the calls to this bean from your servlets will look like that:
<pre>MyBeanHome home = (MyBeanHome)new
InitialContext().lookup("myBean");
MyBean bean = home.create();</pre>
<p><b>Notes</b>:</p>
<ul>
<li>We don't support lookups
in the "java:" namespace from the servlets yet, but work is in progress
(MF FIXME: I think this is done).
<li>Since jboss takes care of
the classloader stuff, you don't have to include much in the WEB-INF/lib directory:
you don't need any of your beans interfaces, and you don't need the old
jboss-client.jar, jnp-client.jar...
</ul>
<p><br>
</p>
<li><b>Package your application in an
ear file</b>. An ear file is a jar archive which contains:
<ul>
<li>Your jar files
<li>Your war files
<li>A deployment descriptor
for your application. This file must be named "application.xml", and must be
located in the META-INF directory in the ear archive. This file tells jboss which
modules are EJBs, which ones are web modules, and the context paths for the
web-modules. Here is a sample application.xml file:
<pre><?xml
version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<application>
<display-name>My application</display-name>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>webmodule.war</web-uri>
<context-root>/servlets</context-root>
</web>
</module>
<module>
<ejb>beans.jar</ejb>
</module>
</application></pre>
<p>See also the <a
href="http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application_1_2.dtd">DTD</a> for application.xml
on Javasoft's website.</p>
</ul>
<p> </p>
<li><b>Deploy your ear file</b>. Surf
to http://yourhost:8082, and find the J2eeDeployer service. Give it the URL of your
ear file (don't forget the protocol, be it http: or file:), and click on the deploy
button.<br>
<li>That's it! The server console
should show your application being deployed on tomcat and jboss, and your web module
should be available on http://yourhost:8080/servlets (assuming the context-root was
"/servlets").

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).</td>

</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

<p>What a blast!</p>
<p>The woodstock of computer science
lived up to its reputation... the bands (conferences) sucked but the real show was as
usual in the people and the crowd.</p>
<p>Le who's who of J2EE came by
our booth and many contacts were taken. From Vlada Matena to Linda DeMichiel, to
WebLogic's VP of engineering we saw everyone. But most importantly we thank the
many of you that came by and expressed support, enthusiasm, offered help, and helped
spread the buzz and those that just came to introduce themselves. We had a blast. The
conference with RMH went fine, except that we had forgotten our slides and
did the open source thing of "welcome to the future" (now imagine it). Most
notably an analyst came by and said "you are the fastest growing application
server today" and that "All the analysts are watching you".. hee hee we
feel like rock stars and well we like it!. More than anything we finally became aware
of the amazing buzz that surrounded jboss at JavaOne. The presentation on Open Source
J2EE on Linux obviously added to that growing buzz. Buzz is a funny thing, it
comes and go!
es, right now we are IT! so let's not drop that ball and let's capitalize on our
momentum!</p>
<p>We have had tremendous feedback on
the jboss2.0 architecture and the modular approach to distributed software development
in open source. The press talks about us saying that we are the next "test case
of open source". Project Game Over also lights some eyes... people join in and
grin...</p>
<p>It could be that there will be less
vendors at java one next year, that would be nice, it would cost a little less, we
could have a slightly bigger booth and we wouldn't be smothered by the Gemstone ladies
(althought that part was nice) with long legs, wonderful b**bs, what the application
server? where? gad, I really love what you do, could you tell me more about your
wonderful cache? that's right baby cache is king, cache is king...</p>

<p>Wednesday: Two major events
this week. First the announcement of the new<b> Board formation</b> for the jBoss
organization. jBoss 2.0 with its modular approach makes way for massive parallel
development and collaboration. jBoss will now be headed by a board of 5 to manage CVS,
the people, the outside communication and vote on major issues. We feel it is the
right thing to do at this exciting stage and given the breath taking rate of growth of
jBoss. Expanded management should enable us to scale this modular container.
Marc Fleury will appoint the first members.</p>
<p>Saturday: Rickard Oberg posts the
<b>first version of jBoss 2.0 in CVS</b>... go get it, it is revolutionary, all JMX,
all componentized, same forward thinking engineering... come code the future with us
and <b>this</b> is the future (applause in the room).</p>

<p>Tuesday: a lively mail thread
is started on the mailing list. It discusses the default database that is
shipped with jBoss. We talk about many of them, most notably HypersonicSQL and
instantDB. Both look good and can be redistributed, a test version with HypersonicSQL
is bundled by Marc Fleury and immediately available.</p>
<p>Thursday: a nagging bug, first
identified by juha lindfors and corrected by Dan O'Connor is integrated by Marc
Fleury. We can now reference the other EJB's from the java: namespace in
JNDI, neat'o.</p>
<p>Sunday: A must see feature... tired
of seeing all of your messages in one console, tired of not being able to call
system.out from your beans. jBoss just introduced a simple yet powerful feature for
bean debugging: the capacity to overwrite the out messages with the standard
Tracer... neat messages. jBoss 2.0 takes this even further.

</p>
<p>Monday: Following the success
of the conference and in keeping the pace up, Rickard announced the "soon to be
available" jBoss2.0. Just like its predecessor, jBoss1.0, jBoss 2.0 will set
ground breaking features for the rest of the industry to watch. Just like we
introduced dynamic Proxy based designs, we move forward with JMX based
administration and full componentization of the container. jBoss 2.0 is a fully
modular container it will enable all parties to simply integrate their software and
configure the container to suit their particular needs.</p>
<p>Wednesday: EJBoss will change its
name, we have chosen and reserved and trademarked the name "jBoss". We
drop the "e" as we hear that e-commerce is out of fashion anyway ;-). Plus
jBoss sort of sounds better than EJBoss don't it? try it you will see that it rolls
well on the tongue "jay...Boss" :)</p>
<p>Friday: Rickard Oberg will join the
Telkel staff full time. Telkel is starting to look like the "who's who" of
jBoss;-). Rickard will be able to dedicate himself fulltime to coding the server and
it's kernel and that is cool ...</p>
<p>Friday: jBoss in PR1. A

<p>This week Marc Fleury and Rickard
Oberg presented at the O'Reilly conference on Java. It was great to finally get to
meet many of you and put names on faces. It is good to hear your feedback and see that
jBoss is used in the field. Many contacts were taken, many talks initiated and most
interesting was the talk with Graig McLanahan of SUN/Tomcat. We will integrated Tomcat
and jBoss. The talks with the SUN were also very interesting, our project is
clearly percieved as the leader in the field and it was interesting to hear the plans
that SUN has for the open source. They spoke warmly of jBoss and our technology
"we were told it's not that low end" was the remark (pun) of one of the
proeminent figures of EJB... hee hee who said it was low-end? . </p>

<p>Thursday: Rickard Oberg posts
another exciting enhancement for jBoss 2.0, it will come with a mapping for full
finders and a graphical tool to select the fields you want to work on. With full
R->O mapping jaws, still a "one nostril" implementation will cover
80% of the OR needs out there. And if it doesn't? well somebody has to

enterprise beans supporting Container Managed Persistence (CMP) and Bean Managed
Persistence (BMP) without writing any code. A major benefit of the work is that EJBs
with CMP and BMP can be developed with application serverand CocoBase, and be deployed
in jBoss with no code changes or recompilations.</font></p>

through this frustrating search for a free EJB server. I found several, but most of
them were not easy to use. <b>But the BEST free server I have found is the jBoss
Server..</b> Unlike [..] all the other EJB servers, jBoss is actually easy to use, so
at last, you won’t have to spend 3 days trying to troubleshoot configuration
files just to get it to run."</font><br>
