Hi,
so the last day of the Oreilly Java Enterprise Conference has past. Yes, I
was there, and I really heard a LOT of people talking about, mention,
referencing, planing to test JBoss. Thats nice, but a shame that no one
from the JBoss team showed up, instead the open source part of the
conference was dominated by apache, SUN and exolab folks. Nice people, but
NO JBoss. Well, I of course picked every possible situation to talk about
the MDB support in JBoss ;-).
I also tried to pump the folks from SonicMQ about what they are doing,
which basically seems to be proprietary integration into some application
server to realy be able to use JMS as a transacted resource from within
beans (not possible now). And then: XML based messaging, such as support
for SOAP and JAXM. It would probaly be great if JBoss could be a leader
also in XML integration into the app-server, perhaps as add-on services
(since they are outside of the J2EE spec).
A speach was also held from the EJB2.0 group. A great speach wich outlined
the changes in the spec for CMP.Realy great changes, I think:
- Dependant objects are discarded (there simply not there any more)
- Local interfaces added for possible cal by reference semantic between
beens in the same...well ear-file I think. Makes entity beans possible to
use in a fine grained fasion, behind an entity or session facade wich
calles them throug the container but with normal java local call semantic.
- references bewteen remote interfaces discarded.
- QL clean up.
My impression is that this will make it a lot easier to get a EJB2.0
compliant CMP container up fast for JBoss.
The final pre 2 spec should be published in a couple of weeks.
Well, that was just a few imressions from the conference. And by the way,
I have started writing a J2EE Connector JMS resource adapter, which will
bring JMS as a true resource (transacted) to JBoss also for publishing
and not only (as now) for message driven beasn;-)
