Hi, I'd just like to give a quick report on what's been going on in Hiveapp, even though nobody seems to be interested in that thing. :)
* Incompatible changes to the core: - JMX support reworked completely. It's not based on annotations anymore, instead, you apply an interceptor to register the MBean. This gives you more flexibility, as the MBean configuration is not hardcoded anymore, but part of the module configuration. * Compatible changes/improvements to the core: - Interceptors now intercept *all* interfaces the class implements, not just the service interface. This enables several event mechanisms in HiveMind, including proper module context changes. - To achieve the above, ProxyFactory has been extended to support building proxies for several interfaces plus a utility method to add all interfaces of a class with one method call. - lots of bug fixes (esp. in the VFS) and several minor improvements (ExportManager/Classloader) * Improvements to hiveapp-maven: - The plugin is now fully reactor-aware and will mount the output directory instead of the JAR file in the repository for any project that can be found in the reactor. Like that, you can now completely work from within the IDE, no more Maven builds needed during development. * Introducing: hiveapp-jconsole This is a plugin for JConsole that provides a nice GUI to investigate the runtime states of application modules. It contains a searchable classloader report (what class as been loaded from where and why) and a browser for the module's VFS. All this information is available using standard JMX, this plugins only adds a nice GUI. Start JConsole like this: $ jconsole -pluginpath /path/to/hiveapp-jconsole.jar and connect to a Hiveapp application to get a new tab in JConsole.

Build hiveapp-http, change to testing/boot and run ch.raffael.hiveapp.modules.http.test.boot.HiveappHttpTest with its classpath (see pom.xml). Then go to http://localhost:8080/index.html to see some demos. Cheers, Raffi -- The difference between theory and practice is that in theory, there is no difference, but in practice, there is.
