EJOSA Revolutions 2.2 Released + Article Series

The project should be a starter kit and best practices kit which can be used as a good starting point. It should offer a solution how to overcome the complexity of J2EE application development by using Open Source products Enhydra (enhydra.org) and JOnAS (objectweb.org). So EJOSA can also mean Enhydra and JOnAS Application, because we use Enhydra and JOnAS as our main components. The target audience of our project are developers with basic knowledge of J2EE, Enhydra and JOnAS developers or developers interesting in component-based software engineering.

(PRWEB) December 25, 2004 -- EJOSA (Enterprise Java Open Source Architecture - Enhydra and JOnAS Application) Revolutions 2.2 Released!

New Article Series about EJOSA at the jax magazine!
The Enterprise Java Open Source Architecture Template: A Beginners' Way to J2EE Application Development http://www.jaxmagazine.com/itr/online_artikel/psecom,id,653,nodeid,147.html

What is EJOSA?
The bane of many a J2EE novice has been the complexity associated with developing J2EE applications, using servlets and EJBs. Many commercial J2EE products that tried to address this problem failed either because their products were cluttered with features that overwhelmed J2EE beginners or simply because they failed to contribute to the explanation of the underlying development process itself.

What's New in Revolutions 2.2?
1. Update to use Enhydra Enterprise 6.0. From now on EJOSA is completely based on pure Enhydra Enterprise which is directly based on JOnAS-Tomcat J2EE application server.
2. Add a new MDA cartridge ejosa-model-cost-calculator for calculating the cost of a J2EE application development based on the amount of use cases and classes. Please check the example at: dev-piggybank-swing-enhydra-ejb-hibernate.
3. Add a new MDA cartridge ejosa-component-structure for generating the build management build and execution management bin Ant scripts.

This cartridge can be used if EJOSA upgrades its ext-libs to a newer version. Updating the build and execution scripts looks like following now:
1. Update the cartridge ejosa-component-structure at one time.
2. Re-generate the whole build and bin scripts from the structure model.
Please check the example at: dev-piggybank-swing-enhydra-ejb-hibernate.
