JBoss AS 4.2.3.GA released!
Since we are back on track churning out JBoss AS releases, here is another one: JBoss Application Server 4.2.3.GA. You can start downloading it immediately from here.This is the 3rd bug fixing release of the JBoss Application Server v4.2 series. It provides more than 80 bug fixes thanks to your valuable input. There were also some backwards compatible component upgrades so switching to AS 4.2.3.GA from a previous 4.2.0/4.2.1/4.2.2 release should not present any problems.
A secondary target for this release was to improve support for Java 6. JBossAS 4.2.3.GA can be build with both JDK5 and JDK6. The JDK5 compiled binaries have undergone more rigorous testing, they constitute our certified version and can run under both Java 5 & 6 VMs (with a few configuration changes for JDK6). The JDK6 compiled binaries include support for the JDBC 4 APIs, but this should be considered experimental at this point.
Please check out the Detailed Release Notes for the full details.
Enjoy!

Railo joins JBoss.org!
I suppose you have seen many times fancy websites with URLs ending in .cfm? .cfm stands for Cold Fusion Markup Language and is the language originally used to write application for the Adobe Cold Fusion appserver.After the opening of the CFML language alternative server environments where created to host CFML application, with Railo being one of them (and the fastest, I hear).
Just today Sacha announced on his blog that Railo will be another member of the growing jboss.org community!
What does this mean? That soon you will have a full open source stack to run your CFML applications: Railo, on top of JBossAS! At the same time, we'll make an effort to provide CFML applications with access to JBoss services, like caching, clustering, messaging.
Those are really exciting news! Stay tuned...

JHUG Athens - Sat/7th - Be There!
Another event organised by the Java Hellenic User Group (JHUG) will take place the coming Saturday in central Athens.For all those Java enthusiasts make sure you don't miss this event! There is an excellent panel of distinguished speakers from Sun talking about OpenSolaris & Netbeans, along with Kirk Pepperdine on Java Performance & Optimizations.
I'm also very happy that we've managed to bring two key JBoss members in this event: Mark Newton, recently promoted to JBoss.org community Lead, and Manik Surtani, JBoss Cache Lead.
It's a unique opportunity to get the latest news about the jboss.org community and have your questions answered on JBoss Cache and all-things-clustering.
Don't forget to register here.
See you on Saturday!

JBoss Workshop at University of Piraeus
Tomorrow afternoon we'll be having a JBoss workshop at the University of Piraeus. This is mostly an introduction to the wonders of the JBoss technologies with a couple of short presentations and hands-on examples.I'm very glad of having the opportunity to interact with undergraduates and help spreading out the word of opensource to the academic community, especially in my home country. The events at the opensource community of Piraeus University are open for anyone interested, so you are welcome to join.
The event details are here. I hope to see you there.

JBoss AS 5.0.0.Beta4 released!
The final Beta of JBoss AS 5 was released yesterday just in time for the JBossWorld conference taking place in Orlando/Florida!Beta4 is another step in getting closer to our goal of delivering a Java EE 5 compatible appserver on top of a brand new kernel architecture based on JBoss Microcontainer.
If you happen to visit JBossWorld, hop into my talk to get more details on the current status of the JBoss 5 project.
Until then, take a quick look at the Release Notes of Beta4, download and try out the latest JBoss, then tell us what you think in the JBoss User Forums.
See you in Orlando!

JBossAS 4.2.2.GA released!
The second bug fixing release of the JBoss Application Server v4.2 series is available for download. Before rushing to sourceforge, please take a look at the detailed release notes.Except for the bug fixes, minor feature additions and backwards compatible component updates, one of the biggest changes with this release is the upgrade of the JBoss Web Services component targeting a considerably improved support of JAX-WS. Some minor compatibility issues are documented in the release notes.
There are also many JBoss EJB3 bug fixes that are tracked in their own project. The associated JIRA release notes can be found here. Some important fixes were driven in particular by the JBoss Seam project.
The component dependencies of AS 4.2.2.GA are well aligned with JBoss Messaging 1.4.0.GA, in case you want to use that as the JMS provider, but you have to download it seperately. A JEMS installer release that bundles AS 4.2.2.GA and the latest JBoss Messaging and JBoss Portal versions will be released within the next couple of weeks.
Updated community documents for AS 4.2.x are also on the way. If you want to help with the reviewing effort, please follow up on the jboss-development mailing list.
I would like to thank everyone that made this release possible. Your input about the new release is, as always, very much welcome in the JBoss Forums.
Now, onwards to JBoss 5!
Enjoy!

ThreadDumps and StackTraces
Thread Dumps and Stack Traces are useful tools for debugging java applications. In JBossAS there are several ways to get stacktraces, most common being to use the jmx-console. An entry point to the various techiques for taking thread dumps is this wiki page.Browsing the Java Specialists archive, I found yet another JSP-based threaddump utility. The difference with the thread dump you get with the jmx-console is that a sorted summary of the threads is presented in the beginning of the page, with links to the individual stacktraces that follow in the bottom of the page. The jmx-console in contrast shows the stacktraces inline with the list of threads, grouped according to their groupId and sorted by their threadId.
I adapted this for JBossAS and you can find it here.
