New OpenJDK Community Technology Compatibility Kit License
Sun has announced the immediate availability of the OpenJDK Community Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK) License. "The OpenJDK Community TCK License will enable developers to test the compatibility of their contributions to the OpenJDK project. It will also allow distributors to test complete implementations that are substantially derived from OpenJDK and distributed under GPLv2. Organizations or individual developers that use the OpenJDK Community TCK License and then successfully pass compatibility testing, will also have the option of branding their implementation with Sun's "Java Compatible" trademark and logo." Early commentary on the license and the thinking behind it has already been posted by Rich Green, Simon Phipps, and Dalibor Topic.

Extending the NetBeans Tutorial JSF-JPA-Hibernate Application, Part 4 - Switching from Hibernate JPA to Glassfish JPA/TopLink Essentials (with related Source Package Path Names Fixing and Configurations): SimpleJpaHibernateApp is developed based on JSR 220 Java Persistence API with optional Hibernate-specific options, e.g. in persistence.xml or @Cache Annotations for caching applied. Hence, due to the pluggability of the Java Persistence API architecture, JPA-compliant applications such as SimpleJpaHibernateApp can easily be switched to make use of other Java Persistence providers such as Glassfish JPA. This article describes how this can be done.

Re-Namespacing Dojo: JavaScript in the enterprise tends to have a much longer shelf life than the average web application. This is especially important if you plan to use or embed a JavaScript library like Dojo in in a Java component library set that will be used for many years. In this blog I will discuss the Ant based tool we use to re-namespace Dojo for the jMaki Project.

Corba: Gone But (Hopefully) Not Forgotten
ACM Queue's post-mortem for CORBA, Corba: Gone But (Hopefully) Not Forgotten, cautions developers of web services and other distributed systems not to assume that all the Big Problems are already solved for them. "Using Web Services is no more a guarantee of building a good distributed system than using CORBA was a guarantee of building a bad one. Web Services cannot magically confer on a system design the ability to effectively deal with limitations in latency and bandwidth. It cannot remove the difficulties that arise from partial failures and dependencies on systems that may be temporarily inaccessible. "
