JBoss Application Server 5.0.0 GA released to the community

"We have been waiting for that day for a long time. Too long certainly. But here we are, the community version of JBoss.org AS 5.0 just got released.Our foundations are now ready to absorb the changes the Java landscape will go through in the next 5 years. We have the strongest API-agnostic implementation of the core middleware services - our DNA (messaging, persistence, security, remoting, etc.). We have the most evolutive and flexible microcontainer on the market. Thanks to those two, we are able to morph our DNA to whatever API/programming model the market might move towards, and implement several of those simultaneously if needed. They are the (important) bells and whistles on top of our rock-solid and non-monolithic engine."....

UDDI in possible catch-22 suggests Bob Sutor of IBM

Tuesday 10 September 2002

Article at Varbusiness.com gives an overview of UDDI, and suggests explanations for some of its current problems, quoting Bob Sutor as saying "You need to have a registry to get the growth of Web services, but you need a whole bunch of Web services to put in the registry to make it useful"

Finding the Right Formula For UDDI

"In order for Web services to proliferate, customers and solution providers should be looking at UDDI as a key component of that infrastructure. Sutor describes it as a catch-22. "You need to have a registry to get the growth of Web services, but you need a whole bunch of Web services to put in the registry to make it useful," Sutor says.

So, what will make UDDI useful? It's likely to proliferate within organizations for sharing business logic among applications. For example, Microsoft's Kurt says, if an enterprise wants to make a change-of-address service originally built for an HR application for other apps, a UDDI registry can help internal developers, or even end users, find the software components and business rules for using those programs.
