Panther Server to Include JBoss

Posted by pudge on from the mmm-open-java dept.

Mr. McD writes "Seems like Apple is going to be pushing J2EE with Max OS X Server 10.3, again going the Open Source route, with JBoss preinstalled alongside graphical deployment tools. You can see it on the Panther Server page, in the side bar."

    Since Jboss is not J2EE Certified by Sun (that's a long-winded upsetting story), Apple can say you can run J2EE apps, but can't claim panther to contain a J2EE application server. Hopefully Stebe will pony up some cash to help the group get certified, since now it's in Apple's best interest.

    I develop for Websphere now, would love to try my EJB's on Panther, and get an excuse for my boss to buy me a G5!

    Does this mean an end to Apple's own J2EE server, WebObjects? It's been stuck at EJB 1.1 and I would like to see Apple abandon that in favour of value-added JBoss services.

      Lord, I hope not. WebObjects is about the coolest thing since they re-invented unsliced bread. It's one of those things that costs a few bucks but is worth every darned penny you spend on it.
