Honestly, I thought I'd manage to release another article in December, however, this hasn't happened. Anyway, I want to wish all my readers happy holidazs and a - despite recession and financial crisis - a prosperous 2009!
A couple of articles which I started to write and which you will be able to read in 2009 are about OpenID, .NET and J2EE interoperability as well as building your own process engine-aware application with JBPM! Stay tuned!
Also, I am planning to visit JavaOne 2009 and I hope I'll meet some of you there to have interesting and fruitful discussions about what we all love most: Java! :-)

December 5, 2008
Are we there, yet? Yes, we are!
After waiting for such a long time Red Hat's JBoss division has finally released the JBoss Application Server 5.0 and for me personally, it's a feeling of better late than never.
While you are downloading Red Hat's newest baby, you may want to know what's new and hot in the 5.0-release...
First of all, Red Hat provides an updated JMX console and shortly there should be an update for their embedded JOPR (the open source version of the subscription-only JBON) published on JBoss.org, soon. For the time being you can download it here. Personally, I feel it's a relieve, since I wasn't all impressed of the out of the box monitoring tools in JBoss 4.
Next is, that the old JBossMQ has now been replaced with JBoss Messaging, which - according to my sources - has a goal to outperform most other JMS implementations, including MQSeries.
Also, there is a new Microcontainer that replaces the old JMX Microkernel. This in itself might not be interesting, however, it has been designed to easily deploy (and undeploy) features to the container. OSGi, for example.
Furthermore there is a new virtual file system, which enables more advanced deployment mechanisms. Again, OSGi comes to mind.
Last but very most definitely not least, the new release is now fully compliant to Java EE 5 and I am very much hoping that Red Hat will quickly add Java EE 6-support when it's released next year (my guess is JavaOne 2009). Version 5.1 or 5.2 might be a good candidate.
Did I say last? Well, not quite. To get a full picture, study the Release Notes and you will get a pretty good picture.
Well, depending how fast your broadband is, the download should be done by now. So go ahead, have some alone-time with your computer... ;-)
