WebORB for Java 3.0 is released

I am very happy to announce that WebORB for Java version 3.0 is released into production. It took us very long time, but I am sure the wait was worth it. The product has gone through extensive testing and the final release is full of cool features. Below is a summary of the most notable ones:

• Product installer. WebORB now comes with the installer. When you download the product, you get weborb4java.jar. You can install the product by running the following command: java-jar weborb4java.jar
  
• Silverlight integration. Silverlight client is now an equal citizen among other rich client technologies WebORB supports. In fact, WebORB is the only product to my knowledge that provides the level of integration between Silverlight apps and Java POJOs, Spring Beans, and EJBs. The product includes a Silverlight client library you can import into Visual Studio projects which will enable remoting between SL and Java. Additionally, the product includes Visual Studio templates to make it easier to get started with Silverlight, Java and WebORB
  
• Real-time Messaging integration. The installer provides an option to add real-time messaging support. When installed, the featureset includes support for data push, client synchronization for data management, remote shared objects, pub/sub support without polling as well as streaming video.
  
• Significant Data Management improvements. There are major improvements in stability and code generation performance. The system has been tested on a variety of database types as well as data types.
  
• ActiveMQ integration. In general, WebORB integrates with any JMS implementation to provide publish/subscribe messaging. Specifically with ActiveMQ, the product makes it easy to get started as it includes all the special configuration options as well as ActiveMQ messaging broker itself.

In the upcoming weeks and months we plan to roll out several major products. WebORB for Java is a key element of our product strategy. We also plan to publish comparisons between WebORB for Java and other alternatives to make it easier for you to see how much more superior our technology is.
