eWeek reviews Websphere 5 and Sun One 7 - comments about Session failover in app servers eWeek reviews Websphere 5 and Sun One 7.  [TheServerSide.Com: Your J2EE Community] Interesting reviews. Websphere 5.0 finally gets a decent in memory session replication for clusters, something that BEA had in Weblogic 6.1. These days I'm documenting cluster setup for Session failover for our Portal Server on BEA 6.1 and IBM 4.0: BEA was so much better ! IBM requires you to use the database for Session persistence, and I still did not succeed in setting it up: their docs are so confuse ! And I did not even test the perf... Sun ONE App Server 7 does not have this feature at all yet, as pointed in the review: this just makes my job easier :-) 3:53:32 PM    comment []

Touchgraph [Ross Mayfield's Weblog] Touchgraph [Ross Mayfield's Weblog] What is interesting are the links to the different TouchGraph applications. I had played with the GoogleBrowser, but others popped up since then. 3:46:20 PM    comment []

A Conversation with Adam Bosworth - from [Collaxa's Take] A Conversation with Adam Bosworth. A Conversation with Adam Bosworth - . [Collaxa's Take] Very interesting conversation. Gets BEA's point of view about java, web services and their integrated stack + development tools approach. For Adam Bosworth java should get metadata (they created 2 JSRs around that), native XML and messaging. When IBM bought Rationale I thought BEA Workshop was toast, but I was wrong: they don't target the same users as WSAD. They're competing with Microsoft for business developers. Clever approach. 3:42:37 PM    comment []
