The real test is to see the J2EE compliant "Java Pet Store Demo" working on Orion's latest release can we have some solid documentation guys For example does Orion have a nice GUI deployment tool just like the J2EE reference implementation. When I "see" an .ear file ported from one application server to another "seamlessly" then I will believe the vendor independence promise Lets see some solid evidence :) -----Original Message----- From: Magnus Stenman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 01, 2000 7:26 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Ann: Orion Application Server 0.9.0 released with full J2EE support We are proud to announce the availability of Orion 0.9.0. This version provides an implementation of the full Java 2 Enterprise Edition specification. This makes it the first commercially available full implementation of the J2EE specification. Although we have yet to agree with Sun Microsystems on the terms of J2EE licensing so we can not call it J2EE compliant and this is one of the reasons for us not calling it Orion 1.0. Except for this the new version also includes many bugfixes and performance enhancements as well as new features: * Complex OR-mappings for CMP Entity beans (including Collection, Set, List, Map mappings) * Automatic deployment of Enterprise application archives (.ear files) and application hotswap. * Simplified SSL configuration and native SSL support with certificate-based client authorization. * Simplified XML configuration file formats. * HTTP tunneling for RMI (for firewalls) As of now it is available for download and purchase. You can download a full version at http://www.orionserver.com Regards, Magnus Stenman and Karl Avedal The Orion team =========================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and include in the body of the message "signoff EJB-INTEREST".
