I took some time off for the Veteran’s day holiday.

I haven’t found a lot of SOA or Virtualization news this week, but here are some interesting links:

(trying to get back to summarizing some somewhat-SOA-related news each week)

In an attempt to highlight some SOA related news each week, this is the second SOA Friday blog post.

• More kudos for the GlassFish application server
• and for JBI and Glassfish ESB
• The next step in Project OpenESB’s evolution: commercial support
• A new Introduction to GlassFish ESB screencast
• Open ESB Community discussion mentions:  Open-ESB related Sun supported products comparison
• World-Leading Enterprise Application Server Providers Propel OSGi Technology to an Industry-Wide Standard
• Sun unveils open source server virtualisation

(SOA-related how? GlassFish ESB bundles GlassFish v2 and NetBeans SOA tools; future Open ESB work (and GlassFish v3) embrace OSGi, and virtualization is handy for developing/testing ESBs)

(install step 1; radio buttons)

 I was asked today about the difference between upload and copy when using the GlassFish v2 web admin console to install a JBI component into Open ESB.

Case 1. The JBI archive is on the “client” system. Use the default “File to Upload:” radio button.

opens the web-browser’s file upload dialog to select the file to be uploaded from the client file system to the remote GlassFish Domain Admin Server (DAS).  uploads the selected file.

Case 2. The JBI archive is on the “server” system. Use the “File to Copy:” radio button.

opens a  Woodstock file chooser in a pop-up window, showing only files on the system running the GlassFish DAS.  copies the selected file.

Case 3. The web browser and the DAS are running on the same system. Either upload or copy would work, since the JBI archive is accessible by both the web browser and the DAS.
