Fuji Milestone 5 Now Available

We continue to push forward on Project Fuji, our exciting new OSGi-based technology which will become the next-generation SOA integration platform, GlassFish ESB v3. We have just released Milestone 5, which you can download from the Downloads page. For detailed information and instructions for installing and using Milestone 5, see the Milestone 5 wiki page.

Because I never blogged about Milestone 4, I'll cover a little about that as well. Here are some of the new things in Milestones 5 and 4:

  • New Enterprise Integration Patterns
    • Routing Slip (Milestone 5)
    • Scatter Gather (Milestone 5)
    • Content Based Router (Milestone 4)
    • Wire Tap (Milestone 4)

  • New Service Types
    • REST (Milestone 5)
    • Email (Milestone 5)
    • Scheduler (Milestone 4)

  • Aspects (configurable interceptors)
    • Policy Aspect (Milestone 5)
    • Logging Aspect (Milestone 4)

  • New Eclipse tooling (Milestone 5)

  • Lots of enhancements to NetBeans and Web tooling

Some of the new features can be seen in this 2-part screencast created by Kirill.
