JBossAS 5.0.0.GA released!!!

Posted on 2008-12-05 04:13:08.0 by noreply@blogger.com (Dimitris Andreadis) [ View original post ]

As I've written in the release notes :

This is the final release of the JBoss 5.0 series for the Java EE™ 5 codebase that fully complies with the Java EE 5 conformance testing certification requirements. It brings us to the end of a 3+ year marathon of redesigning the most popular open-source application server over a completely new kernel architecture, the JBoss Microcontainer . It also marks the beginning of a new era of innovation for JBoss as we will be exploring the capabilities and limitations of the new architecture in the releases to come. In our view, JBossAS 5 provides a healthy foundation and the most advanced and fully extensible, cross component model, aspect integration, server runtime environment

You can download it here.

Enjoy the new AS5 !

Cheers

JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA released!

Posted on 2008-07-18 18:18:51.0 by noreply@blogger.com (Dimitris Andreadis) [ View original post ]

Since we are back on track churning out JBoss AS releases, here is another one: JBoss Application Server 4.2.3.GA. You can start downloading it immediately from here.

This is the 3rd bug fixing release of the JBoss Application Server v4.2 series. It provides more than 80 bug fixes thanks to your valuable input. There were also some backwards compatible component upgrades so switching to AS 4.2.3.GA from a previous 4.2.0/4.2.1/4.2.2 release should not present any problems.

A secondary target for this release was to improve support for Java 6. JBossAS 4.2.3.GA can be build with both JDK5 and JDK6. The JDK5 compiled binaries have undergone more rigorous testing, they constitute our certified version and can run under both Java 5 & 6 VMs (with a few configuration changes for JDK6). The JDK6 compiled binaries include support for the JDBC 4 APIs, but this should be considered experimental at this point.

Please check out the Detailed Release Notes for the full details.

Enjoy!

Railo joins JBoss.org!

Posted on 2008-06-05 13:53:19.0 by noreply@blogger.com (Dimitris Andreadis) [ View original post ]

I suppose you have seen many times fancy websites with URLs ending in .cfm? .cfm stands for Cold Fusion Markup Language and is the language originally used to write application for the Adobe Cold Fusion appserver.

After the opening of the CFML language alternative server environments where created to host CFML application, with Railo being one of them (and the fastest, I hear).

Just today Sacha announced on his blog that Railo will be another member of the growing jboss.org community!

What does this mean? That soon you will have a full open source stack to run your CFML applications: Railo, on top of JBossAS! At the same time, we'll make an effort to provide CFML applications with access to JBoss services, like caching, clustering, messaging.

Those are really exciting news! Stay tuned...

Another event organised by the Java Hellenic User Group (JHUG) will take place the coming Saturday in central Athens.

For all those Java enthusiasts make sure you don't miss this event! There is an excellent panel of distinguished speakers from Sun talking about OpenSolaris & Netbeans, along with Kirk Pepperdine on Java Performance & Optimizations.

I'm also very happy that we've managed to bring two key JBoss members in this event: Mark Newton, recently promoted to JBoss.org community Lead, and Manik Surtani, JBoss Cache Lead.

It's a unique opportunity to get the latest news about the jboss.org community and have your questions answered on JBoss Cache and all-things-clustering.

Posted on 2008-05-15 06:40:03.0 by noreply@blogger.com (Dimitris Andreadis) [ View original post ]

Tomorrow afternoon we'll be having a JBoss workshop at the University of Piraeus. This is mostly an introduction to the wonders of the JBoss technologies with a couple of short presentations and hands-on examples.

I'm very glad of having the opportunity to interact with undergraduates and help spreading out the word of opensource to the academic community, especially in my home country. The events at the opensource community of Piraeus University are open for anyone interested, so you are welcome to join.

The event details are here. I hope to see you there.

JBoss AS 5.0.0.Beta4 released!

Posted on 2008-02-12 16:55:16.0 by noreply@blogger.com (Dimitris Andreadis) [ View original post ]

The final Beta of JBoss AS 5 was released yesterday just in time for the JBossWorld conference taking place in Orlando/Florida!

Beta4 is another step in getting closer to our goal of delivering a Java EE 5 compatible appserver on top of a brand new kernel architecture based on JBoss Microcontainer.

If you happen to visit JBossWorld, hop into my talk to get more details on the current status of the JBoss 5 project.

Until then, take a quick look at the Release Notes of Beta4, download and try out the latest JBoss, then tell us what you think in the JBoss User Forums.

See you in Orlando!
