EJBs could rescue FreeRoller?

Comments[1] by Dave in General

Cedric Buest suggests that EJB might be the answer to FreeRoller's scalability problems. Cedric, get BEA to donate an EJB implementation of the Roller persistence tier and a Weblogic server for the FreeRoller site and we'll do some performance tests to see how Hibernate/Roller and EJB/Roller hold up. I'll buy you a beverage no matter who wins.

Cameron Purdy is also talking about FreeRoller performance and even taking a look into the Roller code, which is good, but the problem that he identified was fixed about a month ago and that fix has been applied to FreeRoller. Cameron, please check out the latest code. The session problem you mentioned is fixed and Lance and Min have been making numerous performance fixes, but I'm sure there are other problems lurking.

Atom 4 U.

Lance has a new baby boy and a new open source project. He hasn't posted any baby pictures yet so I don't know what his new baby looks like, but his new open source project, Atom4J, just landed in the Roller CVS and I'm reviewing the code now.

Atom4J is a Java implementation of Atom, everybody's favorite new weblog syndication format and API. Instead of simply adding Atom support into Roller, Lance chose a more difficult and potentially more rewarding path. He released Atom4J as a standalone product that can be used to add Atom API support to any Java-based weblogging system. This is a Good Thing™. You can find out more and download Atom4J at the OSJava.org site.
