Roller Weblogger: a very interesting use of the potential of java Open Source tools to create web applications Building an Open Source J2EE Weblogger by David Johnson is a very interesting use of the potential of java Open Source tools to create web applications, especially the tools from the Apache Jakarta project. He describes the design of Roller, a java server side weblogger. In his design he makes an intelligent use of Castor for persistence, Struts for presentation, Velocity for templates and XDoclet for code generation. It runs on Tomcat and is built with Ant. David uses his own dogfood on his excellent  Blogging Roller weblog. 7:28:13 PM Google It!      comment []

J2EE Container Shootout Summary: JBoss rules !  J2EE Container Shootout Summary by David Johnson is a really fun read. I attended the Triangle JUG's J2EE Container Shootout last night and it was a lot of fun due in great part to the flamboyant verve of Marc "you can walk through walls, just like us" Fleury of JBoss fame. Also behind the panelist table were: Robert Patrick of BEA, Greg Ackerman of IBM, and Farzin Barazandeh of Oracle. There were twelve questions and each panelist was given from 2-4 minutes to answer each. Then there were free form questions from the audience. I will try to summarize from my notes what I considered to be the most interesting question and answers for you: I particularly like this pearl of wisdom by Marc Fleury:  "Microsoft wants to commoditize the $20/hour developer and JBoss wants to commoditize the runtime and the application server.
