Subject: JRun 3.1, beta 2 -- cool stuff
> Hello,
>
> JRun 3.1 beta 2 is out.
>
> There are three very cool new development features, the first of which is
> the ability to automatically and dynamically redeploy war files, web.xml
> settings, JavaBeans and taglib files. Basically, any file in the Web
> container can be automatically deployed on start-up, during runtime, and
> auto-redeployed when changes are detected. This is similar to features
> found in some other containers, but I think a little more fully featured.
> See the Release Notes for details.
>
> The second major new feature is that all the JSP and EJB samples work out
of
> the box now because we are shipping an embedded database that's
> preconfigured to demo all the samples. You used to have to set up your
own
> d.b. to try out the JRun Tag Library SQL tag, for example, or the EJB BMP
> samples.
>
> The third is that the creation of new server instances now works
completely
> from the JMC. JRUn 3.1 beta 1 had a kind of clunky interface that
> half-worked. The one in beta 2 works completely and looks nice. Creating
> and destroying new JRun server instances now is extremely easy.
>
> Some people may like that all the docs are bundled in HTML versions now.
>
> Also note, we are fully J2EE compliant now, so those of you doing any
> EJB-related work may be interested in checking out the beta (beta 1 was
also
> fully compliant). We run the J2EE tests regularly to catch any
regressions.
>
> Finally, to prove the success of our Web container and of J2EE standards,
> I've tested all the Tomcat, Struts and Jakarta taglib web applications on
> beta 2 and they all work fine, except for a few bugs we discovered in some
> of the older taglibs. So I hope some of you download, try out, and enjoy
> beta 2!

> Here's an official letter on this release:
>
> Beta 2 of the JRun Server 3.1 Beta Program is now available.
>
> JRun 3.1 Server is the J2EE certified version of Allaire's Java
application
> server. We would appreciate your contribution in testing JRun 3.1 to
ensure
> a high-quality and reliable release.
> JRun 3.1 Beta 2 includes NEW sample applications with embedded database-
> Pointbase.

> The link below will take you to our JRun 3.1 Server beta survey. Please
> fill-out this quick 12-question survey for the JRun Development Team.
This

you
> test your existing applications as well as incorporating the new features
> into your ongoing development.
