(InfoWorld) - WSO2 is upgrading its open source application server, which has been centered on Web services rather than being of the usual Java variety most common in this product space. Featured in version 2.0 of the companyâs WSAS (Web Services Application Server) are integration with the Eclipse IDE and capabilities for data services and clustering. The product is available next week and will be officially unveiled on July 16. Formerly called Tungsten, WSAS is a service-hosting environment. It offers a standard Web services runtime deployable with Java application servers from vendors such as BEA Systems, IBM, and JBoss without requiring vendor-specific coding, said Sanjiva Weearawarana, chairman of Sri Lanka-based WSO2. "If you use our runtime, it gives you a consistent, fully open source runtime that runs across all those [platforms] and gives you a consistent programming model," Weearawarana said. WSAS has been available both as a stand-alone application and for hosting within Java servers and Apache Tomcat servlet containers. Applications have included linking legacy systems to Web services as well as workflow, business process management, and data integration. Eclipse integration in version 2.0 means the full application server can be run within the IDE as opposed to having it outside of Eclipse. This makes testing of classes easier. Data services capabilities in the release enable provision of services interfaces to relational data without having to write code. This can be done using SQL queries, mappings, and wizard capabilities. WSO2 Application Server is differentiated by being built from the ground up for Web services and SOA, said Jason Bloomberg, senior analyst at ZapThink. "What's most notable in version 2.0 is the Eclipse integration, better clustering and high availability, support for EJB services, better security, and data services. Perhaps the most notable of these improvements are the data services, which help service-enable relational data from a variety of heterogeneous sources," Bloomberg said. "We're finding that dealing with heterogeneous data issues is one of the technical stumbling blocks for many SOA implementations, and WSAS should help many enterprises address those issues," Bloomberg said. Clustering and high-availability boosts performance and uptime for WSAS 2.0. The application server can be clustered across any number of systems, Weearawarana said. To prevent denial of service attacks, an access throttling capability regulates access to services. To improve security, XKMS (XML Key Management Specification) key management is included. Support for the WS-Security, WS-Trust, WS-Policy and WS-SecureConversation specifications also is featured. Legacy Enterprise JavaBeans can be redeployed as Web services in the application server. An example could be an EJB that manages a business account. Backward compatibility is provided between WSAS 2.0 and the Apache Axis 1.0 Web services runtime. Services written in Axis 1.0 can be deployed with WSAS 2.0 and leverage new Web services protocols supported by WSAS, such as WS-ReliableMessaging or WS-Policy. WSO2 sells related support services for WSAS 2.0. The 1.0 version of WSAS, introduced a year ago, has been downloaded about 10,000 times, Weearawarana said.

SableVM is a robust, extremely portable, efficient, and specifications-compliant Java Virtual Machine that aims to be easy to maintain and to extend. It features a state-of-the-art and efficient interpreter engine. Its source code is very accessible and easy to understand. It also has many robustness features that have been the object of careful design.     SableVM is a clean-room implementation of the publicly available specifications.    In this version, we added an experimental generational garbage collector, we imported a new GNU Classpath snapshot, we added handling of Jar/Zip files on boot classpath, we added user-friendly failure messages for bootstrap problems, we added added a profiling switch, we made sablevm-classpath install its files in standard locations, we made jikes and gcc be less verbose by default, and we made several important bugfixes and improvements.  You can download the SableVM from: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5523&release_id=281502

Patrick Chanezon  blogs  about ROME  and Jakarta FeedParser  "When we started the ROME (Rss and atOM utilitiEs) project last may, we had done a preliminary review of existing syndication libraries in java, and none of them suited us: we try to avoid the Not Invented Here syndrom as much as we can:-)"  "The other day Kevin Burton commented about our Xtech 2005 article submission about Rome that he would submit a paper as well about Jakarta Feedparser. We were not aware of this project when we started Rome: it's hidden in the bowels of the Jakarta Commons Sandbox (I think I did a quick search on apache rss at that time and found nothing meaningful: Google makes you lazy!).

(InfoWorld) - Ingres began offering a software bundle on WednesdayÂ to make it easier for developers to build Eclipse-based applications on top of the Ingres 2006 open-source database. The Ingres Eclipse Bundle brings together all the components developers need to create and run Java applications built using the Eclipse Foundation's open-source development framework. Available for download from the Ingres Web site as a single zipped file, the bundle includes a version of the Eclipse framework and the Ingres Eclipse DTP (Data Tools Project) plug-in, said Emma McGrattan, senior vice president of engineering at Ingres. The bundle also contains source code of a demonstration for developers on how to use Eclipse and Ingres and instructions on getting started with Ingres DTP. The Ingres DTP plug-in features enhancements Ingres made to the Eclipse Data Tools Project so that the development environment is more aware of syntax specific to the open-source database, making it easier to run SQLÂ statements and to debug code. Previously, users had to download the Eclipse framework themselves, find the particular plug-ins they needed, and use the Java Database Connectivity specification to link their Eclipse-based applications to Ingres, McGrattan said. Application developers within Ingres found that process time-consuming, and the company realized its users must also be struggling with the complexity. Ingres already offers bundles for the Python, PHP, and Perl scripting languages with support for Ruby coming next, McGrattan said. Ingres definitely plans bundles of its database with third-party software, notably around BI and application servers, McGrattan said. She sees plenty of opportunities for the vendor to "preplumb" or do the necessary integration legwork for customers between Ingres 2006 and other applications. "There are already projects underway at Ingres to build on top of Project Icebreaker as an appliance solution," she added. Expected to ship shortly, Icebreaker is a tight integration of the Ingres database with a version of rPath's Linux distribution. Ingres would also look to offer bundles based on the other operating systems it supports -- Windows and Unix. McGrattan also commented on recent executive departures. Last month, Dave Dargo, the vendor's chief technology officer, revealed in his blog that he'd left his full-time role at Ingres, while Dev Mukherjee, chief marketing officer is set to leave Friday to join Sears. "The timing was unfortunate," McGrattan said. "But it's no secret we hired Dave off the golf course." Dargo retired from Oracle a few years ago after 15 years with the company, where he headed up the vendor's Linux strategy. "We ran him ragged last year with traveling," McGrattan said, leading to Dargo deciding to step back from his day-to-day duties. He remains a key Ingres evangelist and technical advisor, recently representing the company at an open-source conference at Germany and in several customer interactions. "Dev is a loss for Ingres," McGrattan said, but sheÂ notes Mukherjee is leaving a strong marketing team in place, including former Red Hat and VMware executives. The vendor is also hopeful that Mukherjee's new employer, Sears, might become a future Ingres customer. Ingres is looking for a new CMO but has no plans to hire a new CTO, she added. McGrattan doesn't expect any further upset among the company's executive ranks. "I've been with Ingres since 1989, and I'm not going anywhere," she said. McGrattan's tenure predates both the spin-off of Ingres from CA in 2005 and CA's 1994 acquisition of The ASK Group, which had previously purchased Ingres. Â
