Hey
It's been a busy day in jBoss hacking land. I have made substantial
updates to jBoss 2.0, which are now in CVS.
There are too many updates to name them separately, but here are the
highlights:
* I have begun adding comments to the source code, mainly the EJB
container codebase. In doing this I have also cleaned it up
substantially (such as making sure all the plugins are managed
appropriately, adding sanity checks, etc.). From now on I will try to
comment in the source as I write instead :-) But it's been good to go
over the "old" source and clean it up codewise.
* The EJX GUI has been revamped. I have taken the first steps towards
extracting the GUI from the model, but it's not quite done yet. Anyway,
it should look nicer and be easier to work with now.
* Defaults to configuration have been done (Marc had done most of it
already though). You can now (get this!) download the Pet Store from Sun
and deploy the EJB part of it out of the box! :-) Whoa!! Of course this
doesn't mean that much since stateful sessions and BMP isn't done yet,
and the mail sessions are impossible to do by defaults, but still. Major
improvement.
* More EJBObject methods are handled in the proxy, such as hashCode and
isIdentical. This takes away many server roundtrips and should speed up
any apps that use these methods a lot.
* The transaction manager have been fixed somewhat. There's a new JMX
service that manages it, and binds it in JNDI for others to use.
* The AutoDeployer have been fixed. If the deployment fails the
autodeployer should be able to keep on working.
* There's a cool new option in the jBoss configuration: call logging.
Set it to true and all calls to EJB's will be logged. Slows down the
performance, but can be crucial for development and testing.
Well, that's about it (plus about 50+ minor changes). If there aren't
any major bugs found as a result of this update, I propose that a new
binary is created. Heck, this crap is almost usable now :-)
over 'n out,
Rickard
