Saturday, October 31st, 2009Let’s Meet at the SOA Symposium
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Hi all,
For those of you who are going to the SOA symposium in Rotterdam next month: if you’re interested in meeting Atomikos staff members then be sure to check for Guy - who will be attending the conference.
Regards,
Guy (himself;-)
Atomikos Maven Repository Online
Thursday, September 3rd, 2009Due to popular demand, we now also have a maven repository online. This means our community can pick up new releases without requiring re-registration every time (although we don’t yet synchronize with the central, well-known public repositories).
Interested in finding out more? Detailed instructions are included in the download confirmation email - so next time you register should be the last time…
New website live!
Friday, March 13th, 2009If you have been here recently then you will know already: our new site is finally online, live for everyone!
The intent was to revamp our site into a place that perfectly aligns with both our community and our business goals, and I think we have succeeded at doing so - but I will let you be the judge of that.
Thanks to everybody in the team for making this possible. To all our visitors I would say: enjoy!
Greetings from Devoxx 2008
Wednesday, December 10th, 2008I was at Devoxx (formerly Javapolis) today. Besides wandering around in the lobby (I prefer to talk to people there rather than listening to talks), the only presentation I attended was on the SpringSource dm Server. Joris Kuipers did a nice job on explaining how the OSGi modules work (I think I got it - more or less;-)
Tomorrow (Thursday) I will be there too - so if you are around just make sure to say hi!

Guy Pardon: Transactional J2EE Apps with Spring
Sunday, November 27th, 2005Did you hear about Spring? In my opinion, it is going to play a big role in J2EE and simplifying Java programming. At least when it comes to transactional applications, things are much simpler than with EJB.
Have a look for yourself: TSS was kind enough to publish my presentation on Spring.
WS-Transaction under OASIS custody!
Tuesday, October 18th, 2005Rumors had been around for a while that this might happen, and it did: the WS-Transaction specs (proprietary work until recently) are now under the custody of the OASIS standards body: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=ws-tx
Vendors supporting the WS-TX initiative include BEA Systems, IBM, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP and TIBCO. This sounds like the kind of industry momentum needed to push acceptance in the market:-)
The new standardization committee is open to anybody - I would participate too if it weren’t for the strict IPR policies used by OASIS…
WS-Transaction version 1.0 is out
Tuesday, September 27th, 2005It took a long time to finish, but at last the WS-Transaction specification is now available in version 1.0!
This specification consists of two concrete standards, WS-AtomicTransaction and WS-BusinessActivity. Besides BTP (released at OASIS a few years ago), this is the first ‘official’ release of a WS standard for transactions across web services.
Unlike BTP, this one _is_ backed by industry giants, and very compact as well. At the very least, this gives us a likely candidate for industry-wide adoption.
There are still some things that I don’t like — to name one, the compensation model is built to suit BPEL4WS meaning that it has no business-level actions upon close of the activity (the Atomikos compensation model does a lot more to foster service autonomy and business-level status of activities).
But at least the atomic transaction part seems acceptable…
