mike4soa building/testing/scaling Open ESB

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)

From this week’s edition of the Netbeans Weekly Newsletter,

here are a couple of highlights:

1. Under Calendar:
   • Celebrate Software Freedom Day with NetBeans! (September 20)

Under Projects:

• Project OpenESB to Graduate to Open Source with Commercial Support

“Project OpenESB is an Open Source project that is building an ESB that consists of both a runtime and a design time tooling based completely on NetBeans. In the last few years, OpenESB has made important contributions to the NetBeans IDE, for example, the WSDL editor, the CASA editor, the BPEL editor, and more. GlassFish ESB, the first milestone of a commercially supported binary distribution, is now available. The distribution includes NetBeans and adds extra components, such as JAXB based code seeding, a JCA wizard, and more, that are not available in the IDE’s standard downloads.”

• Here are some details about the Open ESB Proxy Binding and Distributed JBI
• Open ESB and Open JBI Components issue trackers are now merged
• Sun Launched xVM this week
