[Read More]This large international System Integrator, where today's proofpoint was carried out, had been using and loving Java as a software language for the comfort of development and maintenance. When the request to build some kind of a system and network management application, involving intensive LAN communication, came from a classified customer, the partner knew the non-deterministic nature of Java SE (though Java 5 and 6 made big improvements in predictability) would not fit the bill. Indeed, the Java Virtual Machine stops application threads for garbage collection and other maintenance tasks so it is not possible to guarantee bounded pauses, especially when the maximal latency allowed for serving requests in this project was in order of tens of millisecond (for worst case scenarios).
That said, Java, as a runtime, can take many forms. Expressive Java FX for rich clients, lightweight Java ME for mobile device, transactional Java EE for enterprise services and real-time Java RTS for deterministic applications. Our partner had no previous experience with Java Real Time but the motivation to stay on Java was so strong that they engaged in a proof-of-concept to evaluate Java RTS 2.1 on Solaris 10. With the support of Sun and our ISV Engineering team…

Planet Work
is a Paris-based web hoster that has been operating for about 10 years
now. For some time, they had been looking at virtualization
technologies with the goal of offering a very competitive --low price,
high availability-- entry-point hosting solution. As a member of the Sun Startup Essentials
program, Planet Work worked over the past year with a local engineer in
our team to evaluate what Solaris had to offer in the virtualization
space. They were not disappointed.
Read on to learn how Planet Work could deploy a new iServer Solaris offering, targeted at startup developers, with a low entry-price of 19€ per month, automated ZFS-based backup service and a low cost of operation.
The HAR 2.x source code has been published today --I apologize for the delay-- and is now available under the CDDL 1.0 license on Project Kenai, a collaborative hosting site for open-source projects sponsored by Sun Microsystems. HAR users are encourage to join the discussion --whether on the wiki or mailing lists-- there.
If you feel like checking out --and why not, contributing to-- the HAR code, note that Subversion was selected as the version control system; the Subversion URI is https://kenai.com/svn/har~har-repository. If you are not very familiar with Subversion and do not have yet a preferred IDE, NetBeans 6.x comes in with a built-in integration with Subversion. Basically, if the Subversion client is already installed on your system --try which svn on a Unix-like system--, just select Tools->Subversion->Check Out... in NetBeans --have your Kenai login and password handy.
Below is a snapshot of what you should be ending with.
