It has a very affordable licensing plan and it does what my company had tried to develop, but never had the time to do: deploy domain services over multiple servers.
We can define which servers are web (CFMX), web (PHP), e-mail, db, etc., then define hosting packages. When we sign someone up, HSphere configures accounts and access on the differenct servers under a single control panel URL. It's all java, so you can write custom modules as needed.
Customers can configure FTP, e-mail and db, as well as deploy various open source packages from a very simple interface.
The poster says they're using Sharepoint. It already has the capability to "check out" a file instead of just opening and saving it. Click the down-arrow next to the document name and select "check out". The document list will then update to show that you've got the document checked out. When you've edited and saved the document, do the same and select "check in".
Doing this keeps previous versions of the document. If you just open, edit & save, then you're just updating the current version of the document.
Online travel-reservation site GetThere calculated that it saved $1.6 million in licensing fees alone by going with JBoss over commercial Java application servers. That figure will double as the company brings another data center online later this year, said Todd Cinnamon, vice president of engineering at GetThere, which is owned by Sabre.
I worked at GetThere as a Senior Web Developer when they moved from BEA Weblogic to JBoss. Took the core engineering group about two weeks to make the conversion and test the entire codebase. They're still using it to this day.
Now imagine just 50 other companies that have similar needs convert to JBoss over the course of three years. There's your hundreds of millions of dollars.
Most large companies only allow an existing employee to confirm that you did work at such and such company and for so long. If you're lucky, they'll also confirm your salary.
All your close coworkers that know how good you are at problem-solving, how quickly you finished your projects, or how much money you managed to save the company are now bound and gagged by corporate policy.
You can pretty much leave that "recommendations available upon request" line off your resume.
Thanks for the links. I was just working on a small app that snowballed into a large app and allowing object associations via the UI (form submit) without refreshing was the next thing I hoped to add.
Now, I thought I'd read somewhere that this reqest only occurs under http, not https. So that even if the page itself is https, the info travels to and from the client via http, thus unsecured. Is that the case or is it possible to use AJAX securely?
I'm almost ready to build an AMD64 X2 rig. I'd been considering a Lian Li 2000 series case (and wouldn't that be closer to an apex than a 1000 series?). The easy access to the HD cage was the big seller on the Lian Li case. Looks like Antec figured out an alternative that works and at half the price (via NewEgg). Thanks for the link.

That's nice. It won't handle a multi-terabyte database, though. That's the domain of Terabase, Oracle, and (blech) DB2. It's also what the article is about.
Sabre is using MySQL to analyze data that was not feasible to analyze before by replacing tape drives with online accessible information that is affordable. This talk outlines the project--data warehousing with large multi-gigabyte tables containing billions of rows of information--and gives details into the architecture, design, and rollout. Benzinger provides information on design decisions, lessons learned, performance tuning measures, and results obtained.

A Senator J.J. Binks from the State of Louisianna has called for a "Vote of No Confidence" in the current Speaker of the House.
Among those up for the position include Congressman Sensenbrenner, who is in no way related to Darth Sensenbrenner, although you can never get those two guys in the same room at the same time.
Back in 2001, a friend of mine undertook replicating Coldfusion tags in Java. He had a good start, but due to a PHB, we were instructed to NOT use tag libraries in the J2EE product we were developing.
Thankfully that decision was overturned 8 months later, but by then an Open Source CFML engine was well underway and Struts, the JSTL & their like were proving their worth.
That Open Source CFML engine later became New Atlanta Software's BlueDragon.
They have 4 versions:
Server - free even for produciton, but not for redistribution JX which is equivalant to Macromedia's Pro version. J2EE ~ MM J2EE and.NET, which co-operates with.NET components the way the J2EE version co-operates with pure Java components.
However, their version does not 100% match Macromedia's feature for feature, but the majority of the core functionality is there and they're constantly adding to their offerings. And the.NET version is something MM most likely won't attempt.
FWIW, CFMX has been able to deploy EAR/WAR files since version 6.0.
Also, ColdfusionMX _IS_ Java. At version 6, they ditched the old C-based engine and built the new one in Java. You could say it's basically a custom tag library at this point.
Actually, you could say it's the BEST custom tag library for Java on the market right now.
I don't work for MM either, but when you can build a project in 150 hours using CF that was originally estimated at 1500 hours using another language, you tend to be a bit of a fanboy.:P

I cast my vote for HSPhere.

It's made us and our customers very happy.
