The MySQL Users Conference is April 20-23rd in Santa Clara, CA and we are all getting ready for it. Dups has one of the longest preps - he is traveling (by train and bus) from Montreal in his North American Tour visiting Universities around the way. Arun only needs to drive across town to present about GlassFish and MySQL, and he has been building up the demo material for his session - see his note on how to use EclipseLink on GlassFish to do pagination on MySQL - he will present at 3pm on Tue, Apr 21st. |
On my side, I don't have any sessions but I'll be there to meet community, partners and customers, specially around GlassFish and Hudson.
The Expert Group for JPA (JSR 317) has released its Public Review Draft, and, Linda, the EG lead, has written a Summary of the major changes in the JPQL, including:
|
• Extensions to the "." operator for improved navigation
|
The expert group is soliciting feedback at jsr-317-pdr-feedback at sun dot com. Linda promises a follow-up blog entry describing the changes to the Criteria API, and she also gave a fast (10m) presentation as part of the GFv3 Prelude launch (details, replay, slides).
Also, recall that the (production-ready) Reference Implementation of JPA will be EclipseLink - Gordon also gave an overview for the GFv3 Prelude launch (details, replay, slides).
A compilation of today's news of interest:

GlassFish ESB is getting closer to its release. Bill (the-blogger) leaks that the second Milestone is Available Early, including Data Mashups. Download Now!. Terracotta 2.7 is out with formal support for GlassFish Server. See the product page, the download page and Alex's post. John, at NetBeans, has a new demo showing how to Use EclipseLink via JPA on NetBeans 6.5. EclipseLink is included in the GlassFish v3 releases, including the imminent GlassFish v3 Prelude. Chinmayee, in Chennai (called Madras by the british) reports on a Presentation to Wipro last month. Wipro is one of the top (top 3?) IT companies in India, with over 100K employees. It's great to see increased adoption in India; like Brazil and China, these are rapidly growing markets - the biggest challenge with GlassFish is getting the word out. Dan is the author of Seam in Action and recently posted about Using Seam with GlassFish. An exchange with GlassFish team folks followed and Dan now has a Wishlist for GlassFish. Last week was the OpenSSO Ask-the-Experts, and, following that format, they have published the transcript for the session. Thanks to Rajeev for the tip |

The EclipseLink team has released EclipseLink 1.0. This release will be incorporated into a future version of GFv3. See earlier EclipseLink Posts and check out the Release Announcement. |
|
EclipseLink, the JPA implementation that is being used in GlassFish v3 (related posts), just Graduated from the Incubator on its way towards a 1.0 release next week (Roadmap), very well timed for GlassFish v3 :-) In preparation for the release you may want to check Doug and Shaun's Overview at DZone. EclipseLink 1.0 should show in a GFv3 build soon; I'll check out the details and report back. |
Two new GlassFish-related sessions for CommunityOne:
|
•
OpenMQ at Wotif (Greg Luck)
- The #2 e-tailer in Australia depends on OpenMQ.
|
|
CommunityOne is free but space is limited; register early. |
|
Tom reports that Mitesh is a New Committer to EclipseLink (see the earlier announcement about EclipseLink and GlassFish v3). Congratulations, Mitesh! BTW, we will have a quick overview of EclipseLink at CommunityOne, in the GlassFish track. Go ahead an register before it fills up! |

GlassFish v1 and v2 use TopLink Essentials as its JPA (1.0) provider. TLE's bigger brother is EclipseLink (see Announcement), also led by Oracle but now including pretty much all of its TopLink product.
EL is a natural fit for GlassFish v3
and today we (Oracle, Eclipse and Sun)
announced EL will be available under dual license, the traditional EPL and the BSD-based EDL License (see license.html@Trunk). |
Our immediate focus will be on GFv3 - expect a build of EL with the latest GFv3 Milestone before the end of the week, but EL should work with GFv2 equally well and there is some interest already (see EL@GFv2 Thread); contact me if you were interested in that bundle.
