Seam 1.1 CR2 released
Seam 1.1.0.CR2 fixes a number of minor bugs in the CR1 release, and adds some minor improvements. This release includes a version of the booking example application which deploys on GlassFish, the Java EE 5 reference implementation, along with the hibernate2
and jpa
examples which run cross-platform on JBoss 4 (with or without EJB3), GlassFish and Tomcat out of the box, and which may be made to run on any J2EE 1.4 compliant application server. The ICEfaces example has been upgraded to ICEfaces 1.5.1.
My stack of Hibernate books
The UPS guy just came and brought me a heavy package. So I had to take a picture of the whole stack on my shelf, with the new one on top (of course!):
5 years and Hibernate in Copenhagen
I cannot believe it is now 5 years ago I bumped into hibernate, and if you use the way back machine and know the original url(s) of the project you can have a walk down memory lane (yes, the front page were even simpler than what Christian just posted in the very first days of Hibernate; I guess he were being nice towards Gavin and his taste of color)
Happy Birthday Hibernate! Now that the first copies of Java Persistence with Hibernate are shipping (still waiting for mine though), the first people who should get one are Hibernate contributors. Manning Publications sponsors 25 copies of the book, and we'll distribute them in exchange for 25 Hibernate forum credits. See this page for details.
Hibernate and Swing demo app
At JBoss World last week in Berlin I presented some advanced Hibernate patterns. Well, I planned to talk longer about the Swing and Hibernate demo app I wrote a few days before but it turned out that although 100% of the audience was using Hibernate, only one poor soul had to work with Hibernate in a two-tier desktop application scenario. So I spent more time on the other patterns and only showed the Swing demo for about 5 minutes at the end of the presentation.
Seam 1.1 on InfoQ
InfoQ interviewed me on the subject of Seam 1.1. Check it out:
Seam 1.1 CR1 released
With the release of CR1, we are proud to announce Seam 1.1 to the world. Seam 1.1 brings Ajax, lightweight asynchronicity and the Seam Application Framework to Seam, and brings Seam to the J2EE platform. No matter what application server you use, you can experience the difference made by Seam's unique state and concurrency management architecture. This release is also a huge step forward in maturity, with many bugfixes and minor enhancements.
After an extensive and quite challenging editing period, the 880 pages update to /Hibernate in Action/ is now available. You can get the eBook on the Manning website. The book is currently being printed and should soon (I guess in about two weeks) be shipped to all MEAP subscribers and resellers such as Amazon.
The Hibernate developer team released Hibernate 3.2.0 GA today, this release is now ready for production use. Please read the migration guidelines if you are upgrading from an earlier version.
FindBugs(tm) actually does it
I heard about FindBugs(tm) while listening to one of the Java Posse podcast. Since Hibernate Annotations and Hibernate EntityManager are very close to their respective final releases, I decided to give it a shot.
