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...
- David H. Young, Editor

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.
