GlassFish ESB v2.1 Released

After several months of work, GlassFish ESB v2.1 has been released! We offer a big thanks to all who contributed, including those who tested GlassFish ESB and provided feedback through the issue tracker or on the mailing lists. As with GlassFish ESB v2, commercial support for GlassFish ESB v2.1 is available from Sun Microsystems (Sun GlassFish Enterprise Service Bus). You can download GlassFish ESB v2.1 from the OpenESB downloads page or from sun.com.

One of the big new features in GlassFish ESB v2.1 is full official support for clustering for all GlassFish ESB components. The GlassFish ESB installer now also includes the IEP SE and Scheduler BC. Several enhancements were made to the BPEL SE, File BC, FTP BC, HTTP BC, JMS BC and LDAP BC (see the release notes for details ). GlassFish ESB v2.1 has been upgraded to work with and include the latest NetBeans 6.5.1 IDE and the latest GlassFish v2.1 application server. Also new in v2.1 is that the runtime is now supported on AIX 5.3. A great number of issues (427 runtime issues and 218 design time issues) are addressed in this release.

Here is list of some of the new features and functionality in GlassFish ESB v2.1:

  • Support for GlassFish clustering in all components

  • Intelligent Event Processor (IEP) Service Engine – Available in v2.1 with Platinum level support. Enables complex event processing (CEP) and event stream processing (ESP) using the Continuous Query Language (CQL)
