In Relation To

Google and Spring are proposing a JSR to standardize a set of dependency injection related annotations. I've been asked by several people to comment on this and how it relates to JSR-299.

I've posted the slides from my Seam 3 and Introduction to Web Beans sessions:

On May 7th at both 9:00 AM EST and again at 2:00 PM EST we will be having a webinar on how to use RichFaces and JBoss Developer Studio to develop Rich Internet Applications (RIA).

I am happy to announce the 5.1.0.CR1 release of the JBoss Application Server! This is the first AS release to include Embedded JOPR, our new web-based administration console. We are hoping to get as much feedback as possible before releasing the final 5.1.0, so please try it out and tell us what you think.

The webinar we did last Thursday is now available here.

The JBoss Tattletale team released the first official release of the application today.

The first beta version of Hibernate Validator - 4.0.0 Beta1 - is now available. This version is based on JSR 303 Specification 1.0.CR2[1].

RichFaces 3.3.1.CR1 has been uploaded to the JBoss repository. We are on track for the early May GA release. Then we are on to RichFaces 4.0 more to come shortly.

I'm pleased to announce the release of Web Beans (the reference implementation of JSR-299) 1.0.0.PREVIEW. This is our first feature complete milestone of the Java Contexts and Dependency Injection specification!JSR-299 specifies a set of services for the Java EE environment that makes applications much easier to develop. JSR-299 layers an enhanced lifecycle and interaction model over existing Java component types including JavaBeans and Enterprise Java Beans.

We will be holding a Webinar about JBoss Tools and Developer Studio on Thursday, 23rd April at 2 pm EDT/18:00 UTC.
