HELLO
NEW SUBSCRIBERS: The column below was written back
in late July. Of course, since then, Lutris EAS 4.01
has shipped and we've just made available the new scheduler
service.
We're
preparing the next Journal, slated for Monday 12 November.
You'll receive the announcement when it is available.
Lots of articles on the services architecture, J2EE,
EJB deployment, SMS and Scheduler Services (and, as
they say, more!), particularly from our partners at
Diamelle, Customware, and Digitalsesame.
BTW,
there are nearly 4,000 LEJ subscribers to date.. thank
you!

Innovation and J2EE Collide!
Meanwhile, Partners Grow, XMLC
Rolls, and Enhydra ME Unfolds...

There's a lot of blurry eyed excitement
at Lutris now that we're shipping Lutris EAS 4, featuring
pluggable J2EE Services, made possible by the new Services
Architecture. We've included three articles to help you find
out why we think we've leapfrogged the J2EE industry and have
made J2EE safe for ISVs as well. BTW, the industry is sufficiently
impressed with the Services Architecture to have appointed
Lutris to the expert JSR-111 committee for the J2EE Services
Framework. But no one is slowing down. The beta
program for the next version is already underway!
Paul Morgan, creator of Enhydra and
Brett McLaughlin, Mr. Zeus, announced
the exciting new open source project, EnhydraME,
a parent project that rolls up the current kSOAP, kXML, kHTTP
and Locumi projects into a focused strategy for the wireless
and micro world. Be sure to get
on that discussion group.
Intel
is presenting the results of their Lutris Enhydra performance
testing at Linux World. This presentation will reflect the
results you can read in the Intel
Sizing Guide, proving Lutris Enhydra 3.5's enterprise-class
performance figures. Be sure to download it for an impressive
read.
There's been a lot of activity since
our March issue. The Lutris EMEA office announced a very progressive
relationship with our friends at Paremus.
Our HP partnership continues to deliver wonderful relationships
with ISVs and VARs. Fiserv/Summit
is one. Esävio
is another. And Japan is becoming a real playground for Enhydra
as we delivered Lutris Enhydra 3.5 in Japanese in a joint
effort with our partner NEC
Soft. From Taiwan, DigitalSesame,
the folks, specifically David Li, who helped us get Enhydra
into the wireless space, are now solution partners and are
also reselling Lutris Enhydra and EAS 4 products in the Taiwan
market.
XMLC popularity continues to grow
and grow. Two recent publications, Jason Hunter's 2nd Edition
"Java Servlet Programming" from O'Reilly dedicates
chapter 17 to XMLC programming. And Reuven Lerner wrote a
beautiful Linux Journal cover column for XMLC in the August
2001 edition. Rumor has it more is on the way!
Special thanks to Nick Xidis of Iconnix,
Joseph McElroy, CEO of EveryDayOffice, Rob Balahura from Java-X,
and Douglas Harris, a fascinating professor from Marquette
University for their article contributions.
Before saying adios, Just wanted our
friends in the UK to know that I'll be speaking at the City
On Java conference in London the first week of October. Drop
me a line if you'd like to chat while Im in town.

If you have an article that you'd like to contribute, even
if it's only 4 or 5 paragraphs long, please contact David
