:: The Mysteries of Business Objects - Part 1

Objects. We will compare EJB and POJO strategies for
implementing Business Objects, work out the business logic
implementation problems, provide guidelines for how to make
Business Objects available to the client applications and more.

:: Program Annotation Facility
Most Java programmers who have used the Java API reference are
familiar with the @deprecated within the comments of a Java
method. Some vendors and programmers have cleverly made use of
these comments to include information that could be used by
specific custom interpreters to do some routine tasks. Finally,
the annotation facility is being included into the J2SE 1.5
tiger release.
http://javaboutique.internet.com/tutorials/annotation/
:: iSpheres Halo 4
Just in case you haven't heard yet, there is a new Three Letter
Acronym in the J2EE development world, BAM. BAM is short for
Business Activity Monitoring, and at the core of BAM is a new
breed of Event Servers, whose sole responsibility is to monitor
business activity in real time.

:: SWT Creates Fast, Native-looking GUIs for Your Java...
Since Sun Microsystems released the first version of Java, the
industry has been displeased with the way Java's front-end

still lacked the right look and its performance did not meet the
requirements of large-scale, industrial-strength applications.

:: Close the door on open source Java
Lately, there has been a lot of talk about how Sun Microsystems
should give up its role as steward of the Java programming
language and offer up Java to an open source format, enabling
developers to do what they want with the code.
