In Relation To

JBoss Developer Framework exists to show you, the developer, how to make the most of JBoss and Java EE 6 technologies on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss AS.

Hibernate ORM version 4.1.4 has just been released. This is a minor bug fix release containing 37 bug fixes, See the changelog for the complete list of fixes. Specific fixes of note include:

A bugfix release for Hibernate Search 4.1 ! Some of you have been reporting reduced performance after migrating from 3.4 or 4.0, which was not expected at all as the internals got smarter at each release. It turns out there was a quite critical bug: file handle leaks.

Excited about JBoss AS 7.1 in the cloud? JBoss AS 7.1 is now available on OpenShift and provides a small memory footprint and lightning fast startup times.

Without further ado, Hibernate Validator 4.3.0.Final is available for download in the JBoss Maven Repository under the GAV org.hibernate:hibernate-validator:4.3.0.Final or via SourceForge.

Finally Labour day holidays came to an end, and I'm happy to announce we did a new Weld release during the holidays (thanks Stuart!)

A standard, universal @Transactional annotation is coming in Java EE 7. You can read more about the proposal here.
