JBuzz-Word

Hi all,

yesterday was a very long day and ended very late after the party @ Pleasure Isalnd… so I had no time to write a up a picture of the day.

Before starting I would like to point you out that on www.jbossworld.com you can see the videos of the keynotes.

So let’s start with a brief summary of the morning:

Introduction to JBoss Application Server 5.0 : Just like the title say it was an introduction on what’s new on AS5 and, basically I would say that is 98% new, based on the new JBossMicrocontainer (yep the one I hacked yesterday…!!), so there are a lot of new things in there but now we really hope to ses AS5 GA out quickly…

Performance Tuning JBoss Enterprise Application Platform on Linux: Here the room was full with people also sitted on the floor… so someone here seems to use Linux … anyway I get some useful tips on specific memory handling and some native hooks that we ca use on our penguin-powered boxes… so sysadmins I warn you , when I get back we should test them out !

Visionary Keynote : I skip commets on this one… just fluff no stuff… you know a 20k meters high view of SOA, service orcherstation , federation….

Optimizing the Enterprise: Using JBoss, Red Hat and Virtualization Technologies Within a SOA: sounds quite familiar uh? We in byte-code are developing a similar solution for our customers. The idea is the same behind our architecture but I think that our is more comprehensive(especially in the configuration management stuff).

JBoss and Accenture: French Tax Department Case Study: Nice case, with 250(!) application server and rhel deployment! Huge! In France citizens can declare their taxes online(will it ever happen in italy??) and this application manges this stuff, so it has many interesting challenges from availability to security and privacy of data handled, and all is handled by opensource technologies except for the db that is Oracle(the project started in 2004.

Ok, it’s enough for part one… come back later for ” JBoss World Party at Disney’s Pleasure Island”, the main event … you know;)
