A compilation of today's news of interest:

Arun shows how to use JSF 2.0 with GlassFish v2 in his Mojarra on GFv2. I believe the current thinking is that JSF 2.0 will not depend on Servlet 3.0 and will be able to run on Java EE 5 containers. Atmosphere, JFA's new portable Comet framework, is now here; check the Announcement. Jacob promised more JRuby frameworks and it seems that Rack Support is the first step. Rack provides an minimal interface between webservers supporting Ruby and Ruby frameworks, so things like, Merb, build on top of it. Seems a role equivalent to that of modjy in Jython?. Jiandong shows how to use WS-Trust to Secure Web Services in Metro. Yesterday's big announcement was T5440 (aka Batoka), a 4 socket, T2-based, 256 hardware threads, at 1.4GHz with up to 512GB memory, all in a 4U chassis! For techies, start with the posts by Allan and Josh, the T5440 WebSite and the Benchmarks. The press has nice reactions: [1], [2], [3]. Also check how to use it to Scale SugarCRM using Ldoms, and the new LDom cookbook. If you like it, give it a Free Try and Buy!. Today, Apple announced the new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Need to go check them out at the local Apple store, but I'm disappointed there is no Blu-Ray nor a sub-1K$ entry (in the new enclosure). |

Earlier this week Sun announced new machines using the UltraSPARC T2. Many of the key contributors have written about them and Allan has a Nice Overview that links to the key posts. The new systems show great performance; check out BMSeer's Posts and the official T5220 page. One result we want to highlight is the Web Tier Benchmark posted using the Sun WebServer (using the GlassFish Java Web Tier). Check out CVR's Writeup and BMSeer's Comparisons. |
Congratulations to the Sun WebServer team! And to everybody who got the systems out to market!
