获奖评论见这里

值得注意的是，在这次评选中OpenNMS击败了HP Openview和IBM Tivoli等老牌劲旅。综合最近的消息，看来开源软件的势力正逐渐侵入一直由商业软件所把持的网管软件领域，或许在不久的将来开源软件将在这一领域大有作为。

There are four main use-cases where Terracotta is most effective:

• HTTP Session Replication
• Distributed Cache
• POJO Clustering
• Collaboration, Coordination, and Events

或许我们真的可以尝试一下OpenTerracotta了。

hi there,

great decision. Another +1 for the java community. Sun's open sourcing of java and this announcement makes(keeps) Java THE STANDARD for large web applications.

As Tim Bray said, because there are so many options/models for deployment in java world, (ordinary) people don't do a good job of scaling the apps. If Tomcat can be bundled together with Spring and Terracotta and a good IDE is available for the developer to develop and debug for this combined platform, then Java's position should improve as far as combined DEVELOPER productivity and app runtime performance.

I hope that openTerracotta will become the place for bundling Tomcat + Terracotta rather than Covalent. I don't have anything against Covalent but more developers will get a chance to use Terracotta if there is an easy way to have them bundled. Covalent can certify their own copy of the bundle but it will be nice if it(a bundle) is available for all developers.

Again, since a lot of developers are looking at spring, does it not make sense to bundle Tomcat, Spring and Terracotta at terracotta.org ? I hope the eclipse plugin can integrate with the Spring IDE to make developers task easier than today.

some things to look forward to :
1) Tomcat + Terracotta bundle
2) Tomcat + Spring Terracotta bundle
3) Tomcat + Spring Terracotta + IDE bundle
4) Tomcat + Spring Terracotta + IDE + Linux/Solaris LIVE CD bundle
5) Tomcat + Spring Terracotta + IDE + Linux/Solaris VMWARE player
6) Tomcat + Spring Terracotta + IDE + CentOS (Linux) distro
7) AT THE LEAST, a screencast(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screencast, http://www.rubyonrails.org/screencasts)
in "HOW TO BUNDLE tomcat and Terracotta for Java Petstore app"

With this development, it will be nice to know how coherence(the leading java clustering app) will react to this.

Good Luck,

BR,

Downloadable Web 2.0 and AJAX Widgets

It seems as though every other day a new web 2.0 or AJAX widget comes to the attention of del.icio.us or Google. Many user interface elements lend themselves to being "ajaxified". Calendars, image galleries, contact forms and auto-complete search functions are currently very popular. The problem is how to find working and downloadable examples. This post is an attempt to provide a list of the current best of the best web 2.0 and AJAX widgets that can be downloaded and integrated into your website.
