Earlier in the week the team for Fuji (advance for OpenESB v3) released their latest Milestone, M6. Mark has a good Overview of the release which includes a good Demo (note - content is not streamed). The Downloads now include an install image for Felix and a bundle with GlassFish v3. New features include Java POJOs, S3, and SSL support. For more details, refer to Mark's post or go to the M6 home page and the Demos and Screncasts page. |

After a few months of development, bug fixing, testing, etc, GlassFish ESB v2.1 is now released. New in this release is that is a lot easier to scale GlassFish ESB through clustering. All components now have support for clustering. By the way, GlassFish ESB clustering is (of course) based on GlassFish clustering. Also new in this release is the inclusion of the IEP SE and Scheduler BC (a new component!), several component enhancements, and support for AIX 5.3. More details can be found in the release notes. And GlassFish ESB v2.1 can be downloaded from the OpenESB downloads page! |

I forgot to mention that there is a WebEx-based webinar starting at 10am PT (in 1/2 hour) on GlassFish ESB. Presenters are Bruce Tierney and Prabhu Balashanmugam, from the GlassFish ESB team at Sun. To enroll, follow this link. You will need to give your contact info to get the invitation. I'm going to try to group all webinar announcements over the weekend to give extra warning time and to avoid colliding with other news. |
Update: the webinar is now available for replay.

Most of the products in GlassFish Porfolio (webinar set) use the latest GlassFish v2.1 but a couple are still using the older GF v2. This is now getting fixed for GlassFish ESB: Mark has announced the first Milestone for GlassFish ESB v2.1. In addition to the new GF Server, the release also includes the IEP SE (Intelligent Event Processor) and the Scheduler BC (see Full list of Components). Go, download it, and let us know how it goes. The photo? Its from Mark's Motorcycle Mania series and it somehow seemed appropriate. |

Our next Webinar set is scheduled for this Thursday, Dec 4th, 11:00 am PT, on Open ESB and friends. The speakers will include Frank (OpenESB and GlassFish ESB) and Keith and Kirill (Fuji runtime and tools). This WebSet will cover significant more details on GlassFish ESB than in last month's short presentation; the Fuji content is new. |

The OpenESB team is getting ready for the first GlassFish ESB realease on Dec 5th, 2008. Mark announced that the first Release Candidate is ready; you could go download it now, but the Release Notes are still empty and I expect more posts early next week. The web site has also improved a lot. Specially important are the improvements to the component page; there are now 43 components and you can search through them by functionality, license, status, type and contributor (thanks to Bill for the tip). |

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 first milestone release of GlassFish ESB is now available. It’s a big step for Project OpenESB: GlassFish ESB is a binary distribution of a subset of OpenESB that will be commercially supported by Sun Microsystems. |
Commercial support for an open source project is an important step in its evolution: most companies require commercial support before they will deploy an open source project. That is no different for OpenESB.
OpenESB has seen tremendous growth in the past few years, and with Sun’s commercial support in place, OpenESB will be able to go to the next phase of growth.
As an active and healthy open source community there will always be new innovation and components in various stages of their lifecycle, only components that meet the quality critera and testing as well as the systemic qualities required for a production system are worthy of inclusion in the GlassFish ESB distribution. Obviously other components available in the community will still run on this distribution as well.
Check it out at https://open-esb.dev.java.net/glassfishesb/. A getting-started-quickly guide and video are available on that page too, as well as a detailed timeline. The preview form is available now with the final release due in November 2008.
Help us make the product better by trying out the download and giving us feedback on the users mailing list!

OpenESB Jason takes a crack at the Differences between Java CAPS and OpenESB. As he himself points out, some of the timing details are still settling down and we might add additional support offerings, but at the least we will do what he describes. |
OpenESB itself is re-parenting into the overall GlassFish umbrella, with shared principles and increased synergies and Fuji is the core of its next version, exploiting the OSGi modularity. Fuji got a very positive response during JavaOne. We have a few Fuji-related entries piled in the TheAquarium draft list and Andi will be joining TA to cover this area.
GlassFish ESB is the bundling of OpenESB with GlassFish, with support from Sun. GlassFishESB.org describes itself as a "community", but I think the activity is mostly going to happen within the "OpenESB" aliases and forums. We rushed some of the description material for JavaOne but since then I've been in internal follow-ups with the key stakeholders and I think we are all in agreement about this.

One of the many new features for GlassFish v2 is an integrated JBI implementation. Gregg Sporar has done some nice digging on that subject. To get your feet wet, he recommends this resource and the specification's first four chapters. |
Since Gregg is a NetBeans evangelist, there's a tooling part of the story. The forthcoming NetBeans Enterprise Pack (version 5.5.1) has new and improved XML and SOA features such as a Service Assembly "casa" editor, graphical WSDL and XSLT editors, and an Intelligent Event Processor.
JBI implementations are listed here, while JBI components and engines are enumerated there. Most of these are Open Source and there are also examples of mix and matching such as this one.
