JBoss, a division of Red Hat (NASDAQ: RHAT), today unveiled several
pieces of core technology that will be featured in its forthcoming
Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (EE) 5.0 compliant application
server, JBoss Application Server 5.0. The new features, which are
being previewed at JBoss� user conference and exposition in Berlin,
include significantly enhanced platform services such as
clustering, messaging, and web services that deliver enhancements
in reliability, performance, and interoperability. Considered an
enterprise application server category leader by industry analysts,
JBoss Application Server is the most widely used Java application
server on the market. Hundreds of global enterprises currently
leverage JBoss Application Server for their Web applications. The
highly anticipated, next generation of JBoss Application Server
will provide a more powerful platform for modern applications such
as SOA (service-oriented architecture), rich client, and rich
internet applications. �With JBoss Application Server 5.0, JBoss
will continue to drive innovation and deliver enterprise software
to the mass market,� said Ram Venkataraman, director of product
management, JBoss. �The core technology components that we have
released are designed to boost performance, scalability, and
reliability of our runtime application platform, taking us one step
closer to delivering our Java EE 5.0 compliant application server.
The JBoss community is encouraged to download and start developing
today.� The core technologies available today include: JBoss Web
Services. A JAX-RPC 1.1 compliant SOAP stack custom built for the
JBoss Application Server architecture, JBoss Web Services now
supports all Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) compliant
web services, including WS4EE 1.1, WS-I Basic Profile 1.1, and
WS-Security 1.0. In addition, developers can leverage
annotation-driven web services (JSR-181), a new feature in Java EE
5.0, to simplify the creation of web services on JBoss Application
Server. JBoss Web Services is compatible with Microsoft.NET. JBoss
Clustering. Re-architected to better conserve memory and resources
while improving overall performance, scalability, and reliability,
JBoss Clustering now supports both fine-grained and buddy
replication. Since fine-grained replication replicates only values
changed within an object, it minimizes network traffic and provides
a scalable way to share objects across a cluster of servers. Buddy
replication, on the other hand, offers the ability to replicate
cached objects to specific servers within a cluster. As a result,
network traffic and memory are both minimized while ensuring
failover of the collective state of the cluster, even if some
servers go down. JBoss Messaging. JBoss Messaging is a fully
compatible JMS 1.1 implementation and substantially improves high
availability features such as distributed destinations, in-memory
replication of the messages and transparent client failover. A
re-implementation of JBossMQ, JBoss Messaging can be used with
JBoss Application Server 4.0.5 and will be the default messaging
platform in JBoss Application Server 5.0. JBoss Seam. JBoss has
quickly delivered new features to JBoss Seam, its innovative
unified component programming model and framework. New features in
JBoss Seam 1.1 include data-oriented application wrappers for
entity beans, integration with Ajax4jsf, support for atomic
conversations which greatly reduce database roundtrips, exception
handling via annotations, ability to integrate RESTful pages into
stateful page flow, and a new concurrency model for AJAX-based
applications. JBoss EJB3 (Enterprise JavaBeans). JBoss Application
Server�s implementation of EJB 3.0 has been updated to reflect the
final specification including Java Annotation support for Session
Beans, Message driven Beans, and Entity Beans as well as a
simplified persistence model based on Hibernate. Hibernate.
Announced last month, Hibernate 3.2 is one of the first
object/relational mapping software to be compliant with Java
Persistence, which was introduced in Java EE 5.0 to simplify the
development of applications using data persistence. Hibernate 3.2
is now integrated with JBoss Application Server, providing
developers with a Java Persistence provider out of the box. These
new technologies are available today and all will work with the
current version, JBoss Application Server 4.0.5, which can be
downloaded from http://jboss.com/products/jbossas. These
technologies will be featured in the upcoming Beta release of JBoss
Application Server 5.0 targeted for December 2006. The final JBoss
Application Server 5.0 release will be Java EE 5.0 compliant and is
targeted for the first half of 2007. JBoss Application Server is
licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and
supports all platforms, including Linux, Solaris, and Windows. It
is currently bundled in the Red Hat Application Stack. Subscription
support for JBoss Application Server is available from Red Hat
(http://www.jboss.com/services/profsupport). About Red Hat, Inc.
