Today Sun announced the availability of a major new software release, Java composite application suite 6 (JCAPS 6). As mentioned in several entires, most recently when contrasting Microsoft Amalga and Sun, JCAPS is an essential component of our portfolio in health care. We use JCAPS components to build scalable, inter-operable and open e-Health architectures for our customers, such as the Government of British Columbia. As Jason Baragry comments in his entry about the differences between JCAPS 6 and open ESB, JCAPS 6 is not a superset of open esb. JCAPS is the supported subset with some cool new and improved functionality and full glassfish integration. Mission critical deployment with full support is possible with open source software! We use the exact same model (innovation as part of open source, supported subset in an official release) also with open Solaris. This means that the open source code base is always a good way to predict which features are coming in the next major suported release.
More info can be found here.

Where can I buy it?

since JCAPS has many functional components, we recommend a consultation with a Sun representative for a custom quote. We have a global practice of health care software consultants, so based on your geographic location, we can arrange such a meeting. More info and contact data is available at

Dear Joerg,
My medical news website, Hot Medical News http://hotmedicalnews.com, features a variety of well-researched and entertaining medical articles, with some that are quirky and a little offbeat. I think your readers would find my material interesting, and if you agree, perhaps you might link to my site.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Brian Carty, MD, MSPH
PS I also have a couple of articles about scandals in the Canadian and UK health systems which have had minimal coverage in the US media.
