Red Hat Gives Green Light To JBoss Projects

Following acquisition, Ram Venkataram says all systems are go

By Alex Handy

September 15, 2006 — (Page 1 of 3)
Half a year after being scooped up by Red Hat, it’s business as usual for JBoss.

Entwined in numerous open-source projects at the time of its acquisition in April, JBoss continues to work undeterred on its popular Java application server, as well as its Eclipse-based IDE and Seam, its development framework that blends SOA, AJAX, JSF and EJB 3 to simplify Java development.

SD Times spoke with Ram Venkataram, director of product management for core products at JBoss, about recent changes that have simplified Java development, and how JBoss is seeking to further simplify the process with advances to its Seam framework.

SD Times: How has Seam 1.0 been received?

Ram Venkataram: Seam has been received extremely well. We’re getting almost 5,000 downloads [of Seam] a month right now. It has been submitted as a JSR [JSR 299] at Sun. It’s basically a simplified standards-based programming and component model that unifies and integrates the application development process, from browser-based stateless applications to larger stateful applications.

J2EE’s complexity has remained steadily high. With Java EE 5, it kind of simplifies the complexity. We’ve tried to keep the complexity level [of Seam] very low by providing a simple unified component model for building stateful applications. When you write a component, it can be accessed from different access points: rich clients, Web services clients and browsers, for example. It shouldn’t matter how the component is accessed. We wanted to have one simple way for components to access and be accessed by other files. It unifies EJB 3 and JSF business process management.

Where is Seam going?

I think you will see more and more integration into our SOA side and more tooling on the tooling side. We’re going to fill out the road map for building all sorts of applications, whether they’re Web, SOA or rich client applications. For example, you can already build AJAX-based applications using Seam.

When is the next version of the JBoss IDE arriving?
