JavaOne 2008 - A Crazy Year for Java CAPS and Open ESB!

JavaOne 2008 is nearly upon and we've been very busy bees over the last year!

On top of the job as lead architect for Open ESB I also took on the job of lead architect for Sun Java CAPS 6 (composite application platform suite) which is slated for release this quarter.

This is Sun’s first commercial suite that includes the JBI based Open ESB runtime which brings the full power of this open source community and its partner ecosystem to our commercial offering.

The new service layer Open ESB adds to the suite is fully integrated with the rest of the suite, so it can fully leverage the new powerful annotated JSR 181 pojo model and a wide array of JCA resource adapters (RAs). It truly manages to deliver on an open, standards based platform that can take advantage of the rest of the Sun stack and its powerful features; it uses a standard Netbeans 6 and GlassFish v2 as the IDE and the integration server runtime respectively for example. All that innovation and we managed to make it evolutionary as well! Existing Java CAPS application will continue to run on the new platform.

So what else do we have in store? More Open JBI components are in the pipeline to be released on top of the upcoming release 6.

We’re also looking ahead much further and we’ll be showing off a technology preview of the core stack for Open ESB v3, called Project Fuji.

Stay tuned for a lot more content here and on the Fuji site by JavaOne and swing by our booths in the pavilion. For those interested in what we’re cooking up with Project Fuji I will be giving a technical session with Keith on Wednesday: See you there!

Sun Campus Invaded!

I went up to the Santa Clara campus a few weeks ago to present some of the cool things we've been working on for JavaOne. To my surprise the campus had been overrun.... by dolphins!

Presumably Sakila and her many cousins checking out her new home...

Just hanging out!
