[FROM EDITOR] TWITTER - TheASF

If you want to catch up with the official products announcements (OFFICIAL PRODUCTS do not include Release Candidates, Beta versions, alpha versions, incubated-ones.) of the products from the Apache Software Foundation,

Following

http://twitter.com/TheASF

would be one of the best alternative ways.

Hope your wonderful networking life!

P.S.

TO @APACHE.ORG COMMITTERS, PMC Folks:

Release Candidates, Beta versions, alpha versions, incubated-ones -- if you want to spread the annoucements of such products, use announce@apachenews.org, not announce@apache.org.
ByLaws mentions that such products should not be recommended to use in the ASF and ASF can not take responsibilities in legally speaking on the happenings derived from such products. -- so, use annouce@apachenews.org. Apache News Online was originally intended to gather trivial but meaningful information related the Apache Software Foundation. -- Unaffiliated by the ASF

15 October 2005 - [Miscs] Apache Struts - Get a better handle on Struts actions, with Spring

"Struts Recipes co-author George Franciscus is back with another great Struts integration recipe -- this time for importing Struts applications into the Spring framework. Follow along as George shows you how to revamp Struts actions so they can be managed just like Spring beans. The result is a boosted web framework that easily reaps the benefits of Spring AOP."

07 September 2004 - Cocoon GetTogether 2004 (11-12/Oct) open for registration

This year's edition of the Cocoon GetTogether will be better than ever, with an agenda filled to the brim with geeky and not-so-geeky Apache Cocoon-related talks, events, and plenty of get-to-know opportunities. Even though last year was fantastic already, we wanted to provide you with a program that went further than the 2003 GT, with more techie content and really useful stuff for Cocoon novices and aficionados.

We believe we got there, and we kindly invite you to review the how's and when's of this year's edition at
http://www.orixo.com/events/gt2004/

This is an event for users and developers by users and developers, so pricing is again very low. Last year, we managed to gather more than 120 attendees from 16 different countries, so we hope to see you in Ghent in October as well.

Registration is open now and will last until October 6th. All info is available at http://www.orixo.com/events/gt2004/

Further information enquiries can be sent to gt2004@orixo.com

Cheers,

-- Orixo GT (GetTogether) Team

02 March 2004 - Announcing the XMLOpen Conference 2004

Announcing the XMLOpen Conference 2004

XMLOpen is a new event, for practitioners of both XML and open source
technologies. It will provide a forum for exploring how to successfully
combine software acumen with the skills needed to use XML and deploy open
source software. The conference organizers are now taking submissions for
conference presentations and are actively soliciting speakers for this two
and a half day event to be held in Cambridge, UK from 21-23 September, 2004
at the Cambridge Computing Laboratory, Cambridge, UK.

Supported by O'Reilly UK Ltd and XML:UK, XMLOpen is an event for software
developers, standards developers, technology managers and other technical
specialists to exchange ideas, methods, experiences and advances related to
XML and open source technologies. The conference will include workshops,
presentations, and practical problem solving opportunities in twin-track and
plenary conference sessions. The presentations will cover techniques common
to open source XML projects and will include choices in development,
application development best practice, selection and use of platforms and
frameworks, issues in releasing software, licensing implications, etc.

23 February 2004 - Subversion 1.0.0 Released

Subversion 1.0.0 is ready! Subversion is the long-and-eagerly-awaited next-generation source control management system. Subversion is the most advanced SCM system in the world and the Apache migration from CVS to subversion is certain to speed up now that at long last version 1.0 has been reached.

Subversion is the work of many volunteers from around the world. It would be impossible to thank them all by name here, though they certainly deserve it. If you see a Subversion developer, documenter, or tester in the street, buy 'em a beer -- they've earned it.

Thanks also to CollabNet, which started the Subversion project and continues to pay for three (and sometimes four) full time developers.

Praise, blame, questions, and bug reports are all cheerfully accepted at users@subversion.tigris.org.

Enjoy, Karl Fogel

25 February 2003 - Enterprise Object Broker 0.9.5: Easier than EJB

Enterprise Object Broker (EOB) is an application server that tries to a be a simpler to develop for than EJB. It is not quite complete yet, but we have many demos showing local, remote, and built-in webapp usage.

EOB uses AltRMI from Apache's Incubator project. AltRMI is RMI for normal Java interfaces. Server-side beans have these characteristics:


  • no requirement to extend java.rmi.server.UnicastRemoteObject,

  • no requirement to throw java.rmi.RemoteException for each method,

  • no requirement to implementing java.rmi.Remote.


It is simple to use and has multiple transport types, including some that pipe between classloaders in the same JVM.

EOB and AltRMI are bringing .NET's remoting back to Java.

Take a look at....
http://www.enterpriseobjectbroker.org - EOB's home page.
http://demo.enterpriseobjectbroker.org:8080 - sometimes available demo server.
http://incubator.apache.org/projects/altrmi/ - AltRMI's home page.
