I just found out I’m going to heading out to San Francisco to attend the Fuse Community Day!
Progress Software is sponsoring an Apache ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, CXF & Camel Community Day on Thursday, December 10th, at the Hyatt Hotel in Burlingame. Join us at this free event and meet committers and founders of Apache ServiceMix, ActiveMQ, CXF and Camel that have successfully implemented enterprise application and deployed these projects in production.
Should fun to meet users/developers of these kick ass Apache based projects. If you plan on going, make sure your register for the event. It’ll be nice to meet everyone!
I’m pleased to announce the release of RMI via JMS 1.0! RMI via JMS allows you do RMI style remoting over any JMS provider. It combines the ease of RMI development with flexibility and loose coupling that JMS provides.
It also supports and even simpler interface remoting model which does not mandate the throwing of RemoteException or extending the RemoteObject interfaces. It even allows remoting classes which don’t implement any interfaces via ASM magic.
Documentation still needs a little work, but the project is now ASL 2.0 Licensed and looking for contributions! Please join the mailing lists to get involved.
Wow, I love the simplicity that ZooKeeper brings to a really hard set of distributed problems. Check out this Introductory Video that explains it more in depth. Basically group leadership/coordination and cluster wide configuration issues are taken care of if you Use ZooKeeper.
Oh and it’s an Apache Project now. Yay! Seems like the project website is still not fully setup since they are migrating from SourceForge to Apache, be here’s a link to the source tree.
Whoa, time flies by, and I forgot to post about the upcoming webinar that I will be co-hosting with Rob Davies on June 10th. We will be covering some messaging basics, introducing Apache ActiveMQ and Apache Camel to the audience, but most interesting I think will be the section where Rob will be covering the results that IONA has been seeing benchmarking ActiveMQ against the SpecJMS2007 test suite. I totally agree with Rob’s comment that “An independent benchmark is important, because it negates the chance to skew home groan tests to a vendor’s strengths.”
The James Strachan has put together an awesome intro to Apache Camel.
A high quality version of the screencast also available.
