Lessons from Leaders: How JBoss did it – For Entrepreneurs -2009


  • As they went through these stages, we would monitor their progress using the scoring techniques built into Eloqua to tell us if they visited the parts of website that indicated a likelihood to purchase. If they hit the appropriate score, they would immediately be thrown back into the telemarketing queue for direct contact and further qualification.

  • So they set out to create the JBoss Operations Network, which was management software to provide visual management and monitoring for multiple JBoss application servers, and delivered to the customer as a SaaS service.


    Bundling this into the Subscription provided the key value element that allowed JBoss to raise prices.

Openstructure: A Call for Open Source Reform

A brilliant paper with several challenging soundbites. However the restructuring it proposes is radical and I am not yet convinced.

  • ...if IT managers admitted one dirty little secret: it is very hard to understand technology! That is why the industry is so rife with buzzwords...the marketing departments have got you. No matter how objective you think you are, you will inevitably find yourself choosing a brand name....after the decades of waste in IT it is time for a new level of accountability...I believe they could demand a greater accountability and openness from the industry. And there is no better way to be "open", than to avoid the kind of marketing double-talk that you find on the websites of most of the companies I have discussed.

Don't Let Architecture Astronauts Scare You - Joel on Software

I was feeling bad for not understanding why SOA solved the world's problems. I wonder why the IT press don't read this.

  • Architecture Astronauts like to do is invent some new architecture and claim it solves something. Java, XML, Soap, XmlRpc, Hailstorm, .NET, Jini, oh lord I can't keep up. And that's just in the last 12 months!

SD Times - Give It a REST

  • WS-* is harder, not easier, than REST to implement. It’s less, not more, interoperable. It’s the product of vendor committees, not problem-solving developers. For more than half a decade they’ve promised, “The ease-of-use breakthrough will come real soon now.” It hasn’t. The debate should be put to REST

Position Paper For the Workshop on Web of Services for Enterprise Computing

Nick Gall of Gartner explains that Web Services are really middleware, and seems a little disgusted with Service Oriented Architecture.

Middleware Web applications

  • Unfortunately, SOA appears to following in the footsteps of all the other middleware waves (especially the last wave, known as EAI--Enterprise Application Integration).

    To some degree, the expectations about Web Services have been driven by the name itself.

Bla-bla: Ta-da in Java (and Laszlo and RIFE) - RIFE : Blogs : Entries for gbevin on Mar 18, 2005

  • #

    Bla-bla List ensures that all this is done securely and that you never lose data when your session times out. This is done thanks to an unique feature of RIFE that we call behavioural inheritance.
    # secure private sharing

    When sharing a list 'privately', Ta-da sends the invitees a non-protected URL. While they list this behavior as one of the features, I think that private lists should be secure at all times...

Bla-bla List: Cloning a Rails app in RIFE

  • I gave it a glance and decided to share a few snippets from Ta-da (which unlike Bla-bla is not open source) to show the difference in how the two implementations deal with the core action: checking off todo items.

Bob Lee: I Don't Get Spring

  • I'll tell you what's the most used by me feature of Spring: Transaction abstraction and the AOP features. Actually I think that what I like the most is the AOP part. It enables a "human" like AOP, nothing complicated, I've found that in the day to day development I use 90% interceptor like constructs and the rest I would use full blown AOP semantics ala AspectJ, which BTW will come into Spring.

Anonymous Fakers: Update!

  • However, this pattern of repeatedly attacking individuals and competing products from behind the veil of anonymity is far beyond the domain of fair play and ethical behavior. And trust me, it's not one person doing it, lest some trite official apology try to pin this tail onto a single donkey. Randy Spears, for example, was posting on one of his five accounts, and he wasn't posting from the JBoss HQ (like Arun Patel -- supposedly in India -- does.)

The price of anonymity - Cameron Purdy - /dev/null

  • By the time Arun Patel (Ben Sabrin) was attacking Mike, the trap had already been set, and Arun (oops, I mean Ben) walked right into it, using the JBoss HQ's internet connection in Atlanta no less.

Mark's response - BusinessWeek: JBoss, the Bad Boys of Open Source

There is probably a lesson here in how the press and media subjects use each other. Reading between the lines of the BW article, you can probably see a more real Mark as he portray himself here. So, during the interview, I was asked by Sarah “insiders

Slashdot | The Story Behind JBoss's Boss

  • However, the guy has created the _only_ full J2EE certified open source appserver, in approximately 1/100th the minimum disk space requirement that websphere has.

    Marc also cares deeply for his users. Before we bought a contract, I called in because of a problem, and talked to Marc himself, who solved it, then we proceeded to discuss about how and when (more importantly when not) to use object messages for over 15 minutes.

Mark Fluery and JBoss: Business Week An Open-Source Lightning Rod

  • All he wanted to do, he told his wife, was write code for free all day long. "She told me I was stupid," he says, and gave him a year to make $70,000 or else get a job. Then companies downloading JBoss software started asking him for training and support -- and offering to pay. A year later, Fleury had made more than $100,000.

    DEMANDING PERSONALITY
    He's worth a lot more now, to the dismay of his critics. ... Of course, no one says you have to be a nice guy to make it in software -- just ask people who have worked for Microsoft's Bill Gates or Oracle's Lawrence J. Ellison, whom Fleury names as personal heroes. ... Now, as an employer of elite programmers, he gives them the freedom to take months on projects of their choosing. He rewards them with "genius grants" when they do something particularly innovative. "Managing superstars is one of the things I can do," he says...."Daddy, is JBoss still going to be around when I'm big?" She's not the only one wondering about that. Red Hat (RHAT ), Novell, and Oracle are all said to be interested in the company.

Middleware

  • We are currently working on version 1.0 of the Business Framework. It will offer a collection of class libraries and a set of Visual Studio hosted development tools. The class libraries support the creation and deployment of an object layer around a set of database tables that we call Business Entities and a means of assigning Business Logic to the appropriate tier in your architecture Business Operations and Collaborations. Obviously MBF does much more than that but in the main the extra features support and extend the scenarios enabled by Entities, Operations and Collaborations.

    There are a variety of libraries available for managing message queues on Linux. The following list orders implementations roughly in the order of how "heavyweight" the implementations appear to be, from the SystemV ``message queue'' implementation found in the Linux kernel to some Java-based implementations that might represent ``monstrosities.''
