(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.

OpenSSI Clusters for Linux Leverages HP's NonStop Clusters for Unixware and various open source technologies to provide a full, highly-available SSI (Single System Image) clustering environment for Linux. Goals include availability, scalability and manageability.New features include several CFS performance enhancements and the integration of LVS-NAT. POSIX process groups and multi-threaded applications can now atomically migrate as a group. Also, processes can migrate while holding file record locks. New commands include 'fast' and 'fastnode'. Several files have been added to /proc/cluster for dynamic modification of nodedown detection parameters. Finally, a variety of bugs have been fixed.   OpenSSI 1.1.0 is a development release, and is not necessarily suitable for production use. The Red Hat 9 version should only be used for upgrading from OpenSSI 1.0.0. New installs should be done on Fedora Core 2 or Debian.  You can find our latest release here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=32541&package_id=131632

(InfoWorld) - Sun is announcing Monday the release of the GlassFish version 2 open-source application server, which features enterprise-level capabilities for running large-scale applications. The company also will offer a beta release of the upcoming open-source NetBeans 6.0 IDE, which accommodates scripting languages. While the first version of GlassFish was intended for developers, the follow-up release due Monday is intended to place GlassFish in the vein of an enterprise-level application server. Highlighted capabilities include clustering, data replication, and centralized administration of server clusters. Improved interoperability between Web services hosted on Java and Microsoft also is featured as part of a Web services stack dubbed "Project Metro." "This is an outgrowth of our relationship with Microsoft," said Ken Drachnik, Sun open-source community marketing manager. The "Open ESB" capability in version 2 enables integration of Web services and existing enterprise resources. Java Business Integration support provides a standardized approach to delivering SOA via Web services, Sun said. Performance also has been dramatically improved with version 2, according to Sun. GlassFish version 2 is based on Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 5. Sun will base its own commercially supported application server, Sun Java System Application Server 9.1, on GlassFish version 2. It will feature an approximately 75 percent price reduction to $4,500 for an annual subscription for four sockets. Sun rivals in the application server space, including JBoss and BEA Systems, have participated in the GlassFish development community because they can leverage technologies available in it, such as the application server's JAXB (Java Architecture for XML Binding) technology, Sun officials said. GlassFish version 2's performance was lauded by analyst Joe Niski of the Burton Group. "I think the performance improvements are pretty good," said Niski, who also mentioned the clustering capabilities as worthwhile. "The basic J2EE application servers are getting more and more commoditized. There are so many free ones out there. This provides really commercial-level performance and scalability to basically a free offering," said Niski. GlassFish has served as reference implementation of Java. It also has been integrated with the NetBeans IDE, allowing developers to deploy SOA applications using business process execution language workflows. With NetBeans 6.0, the IDE moves beyond its Java origins to accommodate scripting languages, JavaScript and Ruby in particular. "The Ruby support is very important because it allows us to really talk to an entirely new segment of developers," said Gregg Sporar, NetBeans evangelist at Sun. "We have room inside the tent for more than just Java developers," Sporar said. The Matisse GUI builder in NetBeans 6.0 supports the Swing framework for building desktop applications and Beans Binding for modifying user interface controls to accommodate back-end data source changes. Also, the code editor in 6.0 has been rewritten and optimized. The profiler, for checking performance problems like memory leaks, now enables developers to stop execution of an application so they can examine what is happening within the program. Version 6.0 integrates with the Subversion version control system. General availability for NetBeans 6.0 is planned for the end of this year. The IDE first was offered in an early-access format at the JavaOne conference in May. Future distributions of NetBeans, starting with the production release of version 6.0, will be offered under either the Common Development and Distribution License or the GNU GPL (General Public License) version 2. Extending NetBeans to GPL is expected to make the platform more attractive to Linux developers.

GeoAr intends to be a rich client for WMS and WFS services. It's developed on LZX (OpenLaszlo), so it would serve dhtml(near future) and flash to the user's browser giving the chance of select between them, but having only one server's source code.   Well, folks. Sorry for delay but too much work. Now i have uploaded version 0.5.5 of Geoar. It has some improvements and about 10 demos where you can learn about application and how to use it. Hope it will be useful for you. Please send comments,suggestions and improvements we have a lot of work to do to convert this tool in a complete set of tools, but we are on the way.  Version was uploaded into Download section and also on CVS. Regards   Jose
