It is reasonable to suppose that most end-users are more concerned with the applications they use than the underlying platform structures supporting the apps...
Well Gervas, you know what I'm going to say - the best way to learn about JavaSpaces is to implement it! EJBSpaces is a clean-sheet implementation primarily...
Thanks, Dan, for your authoritative and knowledgeable contribution (as always!). For those of you who want a background on JDOs I have just come across an...
A lot of UserGroup members, particularly if of a technical bent, object to people using the groups for "billboarding", i.e. posting messages which are blatant...
We do have a Files section on this UserGroup which I would like to populate with useful reference and conversation-provoking material. Many of you, I know,...
Gentlemen! I am staying aside while looking at your discussion. I think that people saying something like "...This approach demonstrates a fundamental...
(this is a repost of something I sent out to the Jini community discussion on JavaSpace batching operations. Since this subject has come up on this group as...
I was talking to some people recently about Outrigger. I must say the feedback was somewhat mixed. One attitude I encountered was that being a reference...
I have just come across an interview by eWeek of Jonathan Schwartz of Sun where he gives a little more insight into Sun's software strategy. To quote: ...
Sei, You are right - it is hard to find with a search. If it does not appear tomorrow I will just cut-and-paste the relevant bits. I found it through one of...
OK, folks - I have found the article at http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,909686,00.asp . This guy Jonathan Schwartz is in charge of Sun's software and a...
Sang Shin of Sun Microsystems has kindly given me position to upload his introductory tutorial to JavaSpaces, which I ahve placed in a new Training-Education...
I have just had a brief but informative dialogue with Jonathan Schwartz himself. He assented to my relaying it to you: Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2003 05:53:50 -0800 ...
Well, folks I haven't had any responses to this one yet. However John McClain very kindly assented to my quoting his words on the subject in the JavaSpaces...
... I am not sure what "industrial strength" means in this context. I fear that the phrase "Outrigger is obviously not designed as an industrial strength...
Boy Gervas, you really stepped in it this time :) - Seriously though, the current "alternate" implementations (including my own) seem to focus on environment....
I work for an organization that is experimenting with using javaspaces over the internet. I wasn't quite convinced by Bryan's message. ... (based on posting...
... Could you expand on this one a bit? (please note, this is curiosity, not just John being cranky...) ... As far as Outrigger and internets go I would say...
I added comments in-line - sorry it's hard to read! ... It would be nice to leverage the billions spent in RDBMS technology to persist the space. I think from...
... Couldn't this be done with RDBMS' that support Java stored procedures? I know it is not very transportable, but at least Oracle and DB2 support this....
An RDBMS shouldn't be too hard to add. You could set it up in a fixed data field form (users of the space know the object structure ahead of time) and a...
... You're not the first! ... I agree that the Jini and JS teams from Sun have been and are extrememly approachable and helpful. But from a CIO/CTO's vantage ...
