JBoss launches two open-source projects intended to take it beyond the application server space
JBoss has revealed details of two open-source projects intended to broaden its horizons beyond the application server space and strengthen its JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite (Jems).
JBoss Messaging 1.0 is already available as a standalone product and is due to be the Java Message Service (JMS) underpinning of JBoss ESB 1.0 and JBoss Application Server 5.0 later this year.
Due in June, JBoss Web is intended to offer web server capabilities for Apache Tomcat and JBoss Application Server users.
Built on Tomcat, the server builds in the Apache Portable Runtime and a Tomcat native layer to achieve performance that JBoss says exceeds even that of the native Apache server. PHP scripts and ASP.Net applications are also supported.
“The engineers that develop the front-end tend to like to do it on ASP.Net but the back-end is usually on Java so we want to be pragmatic and not religious,” said JBoss chief technology officer Sacha Labourey.
Separately, Labourey said it is more likely that JBoss will go public – possibly as early as this year -- rather than be acquired, despite rumours that the firm was close to being bought by Oracle.
“At this point it’s the best strategy but we’ve been contacted by several companies that are interested in going beyond partnerships,” he added.
