Webtide Jetty Update: Oct

[Greg Wilkins]

__Webtide has produced one of the first Ajax/Comet benchmarks.

http://blogs.webtide.com:80/gregw/2007/07/22/1185066100352.html

The workloads are designed to reflect real world situations, with  
large numbers of concurrent users, large numbers of connections with  
high activity, and real work performed on each message.  The outcome  
shows great scaling on minimal commodity hardware (to drive home the  
point, a Mac Mini, even!).  Consider these methods for the  
infrastructure in your upcoming rich internet application projects.




__Bayeux Protocol 1.0 due November 1, demo available now.

Bayeux: http://svn.xantus.org/shortbus/trunk/bayeux/bayeux.html
Cometd: http://www.cometd.com/
Webtide Demo from AjaxWorld: http://www.webtide.com/sessionRater/

Bayeux as implemented in Cometd is for bi-directional Ajax.  
Essentially your applications can have a message bus over HTTP  
through port 80 allowing highly scalable event based and server push  
based applications.  By putting communications into channels, Cometd  
can also handle items such as browsers' 2 connection limits and some  
good security options are available.  Consider enhancing your  
applications with this open source package.  Webtide authored the  
Java reference implementation.




__Jetty powering more than 200,000 domains.

http://survey.netcraft.com/Reports/200708/byserver/Jetty/index.html

Over 220,000 according to Netcraft. It is gratifying to see Jetty's  
rapid growth, and we know it is in far more places than this with its  
ease of embedding, high performance, and ease of use.  An interesting  
nugget for you.

__Eclipse and Jetty.

http://www.webtide.com/eclipse

Webtide is now an official member of the Eclipse Foundation.  The  
Eclipse Web Standard Tools project extends the Eclipse platform with  
many useful tools for building and testing web applications.
Webtide has made available a plugin which allows developers to use  
Jetty within the WST environment. The plugin allows you to control
a Jetty instance (ie stop/(re)start) using the standard Eclipse WST  
menu options. Additionally, Eclipse-based webapps can also
deployed, undeployed and automatically hot redeployed to Jetty using  
the standard Eclipse controls.



__Hightide releasing soon.

http://www.webtide.com/products.jsp#hightide

Check back shortly to find a distribution of Jetty, still open  
source, preintegrated with popular packages such as ActiveMQ,  
Atomikos, and more.  The snapshot will be supported for subscribers  
indefinitely.  Look to Hightide for installations that you would like  
to keep static and stable for years on end.  We look forward to  
working with you.
