Well, help is on hand. Jacob Orshalick wrote an excellent article on nested conversations which he seems to be making into bit of series with this latest blog posting on conversation timeouts.

One of the features I am most pleased to see in Seam 2.0.1 is Natural Conversations. Why?

You may have thought we'd be taking it easy after our big Seam 2.0 release a few weeks ago, but we've been hard at work getting ready for 2.0.1. It's almost ready, so we're releasing CR1 today. (download release notes docs)

There has been a couple of interesting blog entries about Hibernate Shards and data sharding / partitioning in the last few days (here and there). Both give a decent five / ten minutes overview of Hibernate Shards.

A robust web application should not crash and die when the session times out. I guess we can all agree on that, but thanks to the stateless nature of HTTP and the usual hacks attaching session state onto that protocol, this is quite difficult to accomplish. Just search for session timeout on Google. So here I am with my JSF/Seam/Ajax4JSF/jQuery application, trying to make it more robust.

We are releasing JBoss Tools 2.0.0.GA today! Downloads available here.

If anyone found a lonely Canon camera at JavaPolis yesterday then please hand it into the information desk or at the JBoss/Red Hat booth.

Sitting in on the Seam In Action talk with Pete Muir, Peter Hilton and Nicholas Leroux and thought that I could put more elaborate answers to the questions asked during this talk about the tooling.

I'm proud to report that we released JBoss Developer Studio 1.0 (formerly known as Red Hat Developer Studio) earlier today.

A quick update for those who like living on the edge ;-)
