EJB 3.0 technology eliminates the complexity of EJB development by
adopting regular Java classes as EJBs, and removing the requirements for
interfaces, deployment descriptors, and callback methods. Oracle
JDeveloper and Oracle TopLink combine to provide the premier environment
for development and deployment of EJB 3.0 applications. Download Now.

Greetings...

The cynic in me thinks we could recycle old JavaOne stories, at least for
the coverage of whether or not Sun is going to release its Java
implementation under a F/OSS license. In last year's JavaOne roundup, I
wrote, "While this [overture to the open source community] wasn't followed
by a jaw-dropping announcement of open sourcing Java, Schwartz did cite
Sun's commitment to an open process [...] and declared the opening of the
source of its enterprise server [...] with a promise of 'more to come.'"
In 2004, Daniel Steinberg summarized a JavaOne roundtable hosted by Tim
O'Reilly on the "Big Question" of open sourcing Java, by saying "the
panelists helped lay out many of the challenges that must be addressed:
deciding what to open source, how to do so, and how to indicate
incompatible implementations." So maybe nobody should be surprised that
this year's "big news" was another baby step towards open sourcing Java,
with no idea of what year it will be when Sun actually does it.

Instead of writing general show impressions, this year Daniel Steinberg
focuses on this question of open sourcing Java, and Sun's two JavaOne
announcements on the topic: a new license intended to make it easier
to distribute the non-free JDK with certain Linux distributions, and
a promise that the open sourcing of Java is, according to Executive VP
of Software Rich Green, "not a question of whether, but a question of
how." In "Telling Stories at JavaOne," Daniel takes a thorough look at
the content and context of Sun's JavaOne announcements, and surveys
how they have been received by their intended audience in the open
source community.

You may be familiar with UML diagrams that show the relationships between
your classes and their members, but it can be much more than that. By
using UML to model deployment, you can understand and represent not just
your code, but the environment it runs in, and share this with sysadmins
and others. In the dev2dev article "Modeling Enterprise Java Applications
and Deployments," Jeff Davies says "the purpose of this article is to
demonstrate several effective ways to model modern software systems to
accurately and concisely communicate architectural, design, and deployment
details to the responsible parties in your enterprise."

In this week's feature article from java.net, Jacobus Steenkamp introduces
techniques for "Bringing Swing to the Web," saying "there is no reason why
web and Swing development should be mutually exclusive. In this article,
we will look at putting one of Swing's most overlooked (and basic)
features to work inside a web application."
