Patrick, High end JTA with all the bells and whistles is one of these things that is used by 20 people in the world and they are eager to pay for it since they got the money.
Open Source satisfies the masses. Proprietary fills those expensive niches. Arjuna's business and sole focus is that high end JTA so we are quite glad with that partnership, they provide us with a solution (for pay) in these high end niches, it is expensive but it is worth it. For me to throw 3 of our guys to do that today isn't the best use of our time, nor the best bang FOR OUR COMMUNITY. We got much to do in J2EE 1.4, CMP/Hibernate, JMS, JBoss 4.0, AOP, etc that DO reach the mass market. A high profit niche in JBoss is a good thing for our partners. Arjuna also works with others. Adrian has been working on the JTA and JCA stuff which needed professional work. Mostly JCA 1.5. JMS is another story and Adrian/Bela have been doing work there. JMS solidity/revamp is a priority. JMS is solid in the 3.2X series due to ALOT of work (adrian again). that being said, if you submitted a high end JTA implementation in open source to JBoss we wouldn't refuse it, the same way I wouldn't kick michelle pfeifer out of bed if she crawled in purring like a cat. he he marcf View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3822386#3822386 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=3822386 ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
