| <p>The release of OpenEJB 3.0 beta 1 at the end of September showed an mild |
| but noticeable increase in user traffic which has continued since. Several |
| usability improvements and related new features have been added, |
| particularly around a returning user from years ago Alex St. Croix. Alex |
| has already written some blog entries, created a couple video tutorials, |
| and has a downloadable PDF of using OpenEJB embedded in Tomcat which is a |
| dozen pages and growing. This is all very good for OpenEJB and we are very |
| excited to see user activity of this nature again.</p> |
| |
| <p>Web Services support has been added to OpenEJB in both standalone and |
| Tomcat embedded modes, and significant work has been contributed to the CXF |
| project as a result to add new features required by OpenEJB but not already |
| present, such as rpc/encoded web services.</p> |
| |
| <p>The ability to embed OpenEJB into Tomcat has been re-expanded from |
| temporarily just supporting Tomcat 6.0 to now version 5.5 as well including |
| annotation processing support which is usually a v6.0.x and higher feature. |
| Support for older versions was lost when the integration was reworked and |
| improved over the OpenEJB 1.0 approach, however post OpenEJB 3.0 beta 1 |
| release, requests from users of older Tomcat versions began coming in |
| showing that the ability to support pre Tomcat 6 users is still very |
| important.</p> |
| |
| <p>The documentation has been reorganized significantly. A new confluence |
| space as been created dedicated entirely to the OpenEJB 3.0.x codebase and |
| reintegrated back into the main website. Several new examples have been |
| created as well. A major issue with the documentation was that most of the |
| new documents weren't linked into the main site, were just loose pages, and |
| had no "center" to bind them all together. The creation of dedicated 3.0.x |
| space with it's own index and new left navigation section has dramatically |
| improved this.</p> |
| |
| <p>Jonathan Gallimore, a newer contributor, recently contributed another large |
| patch to the Eclipse plugin he's been working on that takes an EJB 2.x |
| application and adds the annotations to the source code required to turn it |
| into an EJB 3.0 application, removing the equivalent xml as it goes. |
| Jonathan has done great work, but we could be doing better as he is largely |
| working alone and isn't getting the benefit of working closely with |
| existing committers. It's always difficult to pull people in when there |
| isn't a strong intersection with existing code/people.</p> |
| |
| <p>Release work on OpenEJB 3.0 beta 2 has begun. There was a perpetual state |
| of "going to release" through late November and all December, however all |
| the open issues have been cleared and the general mood is "it's |
| over-ready." We've branched and have begun helping other projects to |
| release some of the things we have dependencies on such as the Geronimo |
| Transaction Manager/Connector and the XBean libraries. All is going well |
| and we should see OpenEJB 3.0 beta 2 put up for vote this month.</p> |
| |
| <p>On a general note, OpenEJB celebrated it's eighth year of existence in December. As a personal comment from someone who's been on the project the entire time, I [David Blevins](david-blevins.html) |
| have never seen the project in such good shape. A major challenge going |
| forward will be releasing the 3.0 final and getting OpenEJB back on |
| people's radar.</p> |
