#======= NEWS =======# Distributor v0.6 is released
http://java.foundries.sourceforge.net/article.pl?sid=03/06/23/2330226

Distributor is a software load balancer. Software load balancer. Accepts connections and distributes them to an array of back end servers. Unique/advanced features include integrated testing of back end servers and optional termination of client connections to misfunctioning servers. Homepage: http://distributor.sf.net Changes: - Rewrote round robin algorithm. The previous version was a quick hack. It worked fairly well under normal conditions (all targets enabled, etc.) but fell apart otherwise. This version should be a bit more robust. - Fixed some deadlock bugs by simplifying the methods that are used to transfer clients/connections from one thread to another. Rather than do a lot of heavy processing, the methods just put the client in a queue which is processed later by the receiving thread. This reduces the number of data structures that are accessed by multiple threads. - Found a better way to handle registering connections with Selectors, by using queues along the same lines as the last group of fixes. The old method I was using required much ugly hackery to avoid deadlocks. The queueing method is clean. - Added a 'memstats' command to Controller to assist in detecting any memory leaks. memstats reports the size of all long-term data structures used by Distributor.

The new integration features a webapp with a setup verifier, JNDI browser, EJB viewer, Class browser, and even an Object invoker! You can browse the OpenEJB namespace and know right away exactly where the ejb is and what it is called. When you find one you like, just click it and it will open up into the EJB viewer. While there you can check out it's home, remote and bean classes in the class browser. The Object invoker allows you to actually create and invoke your EJBs without writing a single line of code. OpenEJB 0.9.2 also contains a new openejb.base variable to complement the openejb.home variable. The openejb.base variable allows you to have several configurations of OpenEJB all running against the same OpenEJB install. This makes using OpenEJB in IDEs like Eclipse or NetBeans even easier. Move the openejb_loader-0.9.2.jar into your project's lib directory, set the openejb.base, and you'll be debugging your EJB apps front-to-back without the need for remote debugging support or special editor plug-ins. As always, OpenEJB comes with fast, lightweight EJB Servers for both Local and Remote access allowing you to write standalone or distributed EJB applications. Thanks to all the OpenEJB users for all the great ideas! You speak, we listen. http://openejb.sourceforge.net/download.html --David Blevins
