Hello Deepak,

We’ll have an admin console. But quite frankly, and I am probably a bit alone in that situation, but I think this is just hog wash. I mean, people need REAL PRODUCTION tools, not a cute toy to see which JDBC driver has been installed in their AS. If you are developing an application, checking whether you have a JDBC driver is probably 1 per thousands of the real work you need to do, no? I don’t get it. As a developer, I never ever cared about that at least. While JON is really good and its feature list is impressive.

As for the need for a database, if you just want to “configure” the size of your DB pool, fine. But JON is more than that and provides a pretty impressive feature set in terms of centralized monitoring. And guess what: you need to potentially store a LOT of information coming from all nodes of your deployment(s), query that information, etc. That’s why we need a DB. Now, show me a decent monitoring solution (with the ability to query the past) which doesn’t rely on a DB

Cheers,

sacha

Sun’s GlassFish has definitely hit a homerun with it’s admin console.
I am at hard to understand why JBoss does not understand the importance of good admin console and features making admin’s life easier.

I hope JOPR would do good. I tried JON/Jopr sometime back and I was bummed by the fact that it needs a database to install JON. This is a big bummer. Does any other J2EE appserver’s admin console ( WebLogic/WebSphere/GlassFish) needs a db to run admin console ?
No!!!

Mark,

That annotation should definitely work.

“JBoss AS 4.2/EAP4.x already provides compatibility with the key EE5 specs (including EJB3)”

Our testing of AS 4.2 indicates that it does not support the @EBJ annotation? Isn’t that part of the EJB3 spec?

Yeah Peter, it was the Reference Implementation of the Specification. It is easy to say that from a product standpoint JBoss is clearly the best, but that statement needs some kind of proof, some kind of study behind it. There is a lot of proofs that actually GlassFish is superior to JBoss, not only for the EE5 maturity, just take a look at specj. JBoss doesn’t even show up in there. GlassFish had the commercial closed source problem when it was Sun Java System AS, but now, it is open source, free for production use and enterprise class quality as it was from the beginning. Clearly it is the best shot, and I am willing to discuss about that anywhere.

Congratulations on JBoss team for finally have a RC with EE5 TCK. If it pass.

I would like to see a comparison of JBoss to Glassfish – the latter seems to be getting lots of buzz, and all my Java developers friends are talking about how much farther ahead it is than JBoss. Is there a comparison you can point to? Does Glassfish pass the TCK?

Dimitris,

True. Actually, the MC+Friends can be seen as an extension of layer 1 for JBoss’s runtimes. Thanks to its SPIs (and growing), it non only provides bytecode and core-API abstraction but also enterprise-services abstraction. Bottom line, if we ever wanted to have JBoss Portal running in Weblogic, we would first port JBoss Portal to the MC and then provide a set of WebLogic MC SPIs-implementations. Once these WL-specific MC SPIs are made available, any MC-based runtime could then be hosted on WL, etc.

Ovidiu,

Dimitris is best to answer. But most of the work is around polishing, reducing the testsuite errors to 0, TCK to 100%, fixing known bugs, etc. The area that needs the most attention is the new profile service and its impact on closely related services (management) as well as the open source management console. EJB3, as the king consumer of SPIs is also closely watched: its central location (in term of SPI consumption) gives it pretty much a role of global AS/EE testsuite as well.

Detailed information can be found in JIRA: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS?report=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.project:roadmap-panel

Cheers,

Sacha
