[Beginners Corner] - upgrading from Jboss 4.01 to 4.2.3 or Glassfish
by MikePhoenix
We are having a problem with .NET clients being able to access our Web services. This problem has been traced to a problem with the version of Axis being usedin 4.0.1. Therefore we are looking to upgrade either to Jboss 4.2.3 or the most recent version of Glassfish.
The main reason we are considering Glassfish is because of the excellent, free support that the community provides. With very little effort I have been able to find multiple resources for help in migrating from Jboss to Glassfish. So far, I have not been able to find equivalent resources for aid in migrating from Jboss 4.0.1 to 4.2.3. I have been googling, on this Website and the WWW, topics such as upgrading Jboss and migrating applications to Jboss.
I'm still pretty much of a novice with application servers, so the amount of support I can get is going to be the deciding factor in which option I take. Can anybody here direct me to resources that would help me upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.2.3? Any help would be appreciated.

[Security & JAAS/JBoss] - some questions on authentication
by maggu
Hi All,
Apologize if these questions have been asked before or if they are naive, but I am writing after doing some search on the web and the forum. Do point me out to any tutorial / web resource if you think they can answer my questions.
I am relatively new to JBoss/JAAS authentication, and have successfully implemented a sample web application which uses the form based authentication method. On the server side, I have a custom class which extends the DataBaseLoginModule. My questions were the following:
1) Does one have to use form with 'j_security_check' to initialize the security workflow?
2) How could I extend this if I needed to have the username password in my HTTP request?
3) It seems like once JBoss authenticates the user, a HTTP session is maintained until the JBoss cache expires. Is this true? Meaning once logged into a web application, and if the subsequent JSP / Servlet calls fall inside the security restrictions defined in a web.xml, a session is maintained and there is no need for extra authentication on each step.
4) I understand jboss 'webauthentication' is similar but is mostly for programmatic login. Can it be used from a JSP / Swing/ .NET client?? If so how, is there any useful web resource / tutorial you could point me to?
Thanks and hoping fro some feedback from the forum.

[JBoss Messaging] - Re: Best practice for scheduled message processing
by PitPalme
Thanks a lot for your reply.
"ataylor" wrote : With JBM 1.4 it is possible to specify the earliest time that a message will be delivered. The user manual explains how to do this, but here you are anyway.
If I understand this correctly I'd this way "schedule" by "calculating" when I do expect the just about to be send message being processed.
This would mean:
- Queue shall be allowed to deliver messages between, e.g., 9pm and 5am
- "Pre-Processing" starts at 9:30pm
- "Pre-Processing" now has to count and calculate, which messages can be send without any "earliest time" (or current time), because they're expected to be processed before 5am and send the rest with a timestamp of next, or even later, night.
If I understood this right this is not exactly what I'm looking for. I'm more interested in something that only "halts" the queues delivery attempts. If not automatically, but only by calling some MBean-operation I'd be fine.
Background is: pre-processing will be done in a much shorter amount of time than real message processing. Therefore one pre-processing run will generate a few million of messages which should be started to process. This will be finished within the time frame of one night. But than, at a defined time in the morning all message *deliveries* should be stopped and the messages kept "on hold".
Next evening, e.g. 9pm, I want to "unrelease" the queue and continue processing messages.
This should continue until the queue is empty.
I need the servers resources during work-time for business logic execution and want to process the lower priority "mega batch messages" during "night-shift" asynchronously.
Any help appreciated, thanks a lot :-)

[Testimonials] - Business Process with jBPM and Richfaces (EliteBPM)
by mpics623
Greetings All. I work with a software and solutions company, Elite Value Solutions, that built a business process management system on top of jBPM and Richfaces/JSF. This combination allowed for powerful features and user experience, all of which wouldn't have been possible without these technologies.
Anyone who has developed with Richfaces, or is an end user for a system written with Richfaces, is fully aware of its capabilities. It takes the Web GUI to an entirely new level and equips developers with features that would otherwise take them several months to build out from scratch.
What about business process management? EliteBPM is built on top of jBPM. jBPM is a feature-rich and mature engine that made it possible for us to add in the capabilities that we did - which includes BAM (business activity monitoring), advanced task and process management, administration, customizable identity management and a full service library (to name a few). I've personally worked with other BPM systems and can comment on why jBPM is better.
So does it all work? Yes. One of our biggest customers proves that business process is the way to go. We work with BMW NA and have implemented several processes that span the enterprise - actually the globe. The processes enforce business policy surrounding finance and administration, which helps BMW save money and comply to regulations.
I recommend both jBPM and Richfaces. If anyone has any questions about our implementation with jBPM and Richfaces please feel free to respond to this post or even contact me directly. You can read more about EliteBPM here.
Keep the great technologies coming. The developer community welcomes it. Oh and one more thing. For the individuals who have a hard time determining if they should use open-source, in my experience (12 years and dozens of implementations), I've seen more problems with proprietary software then with open-source. Also, if you take a step into the forums, no question is unanswered, and no problem unresolved. Kudos to the community.
