Compaq's NonStop Himalaya adds J2EE support

Compaq has unveiled the S74 line of NonStop Himalaya servers and announced that the entire NonStop Himalaya product line will support the J2EE platform.

Compaq's S74 servers rely on Infiniband-ready ServerNetII technology and is prepared for the transition in 2003 to the Compaq Alpha microprocessor. Pricing remains the same as for the Himalaya S72 series.

Compaq has also added CORBA 2.3 support to the Himalaya servers. CORBA 2.3 interoperates among J2EE-compliant devices. Other server features include Java 1.2 support, the iTP WebServer 4.1, and a Java- and Internet-based edition of the Pathway/TS transaction processing platform.

Two RSW releases test EJBs and Java applets

RSW Software has introduced two applications. EJB-test is a Java-based application that tests Enterprise JavaBeans on middle-tier applications. e-Test suite 4.2 is an update of RSW's previous testing suite.

EJB-test 2.0 tests EJB code using AutoGen technology. It reviews EJBs, automatically creates a Java test client particular to EJBs, and analyzes data types and methods. The software then fills the test client with sample information, performs a test, and recounts the response times based on different simultaneous client loads. The client loads vary and imitate actual loads on EJB applications because they access the EJB via remote interfaces, as actual application clients would. Loads are created through either multiple JVMs or multithreading.

EJB-test agents are capable of performing tests on multiple CPUs. The disparate information is then synchronized with SyncLoad, and the results can be viewed in a variety of report formats, such as response time, response time by method, transactions per second, or number of exceptions.

EJB-test 2.0 supports Unix, Windows NT, and Linux systems. Pricing starts at 0,000.

The e-Test suite 4.2 performs functional and load testing for Internet applications with Java applets. Using one script, e-Test coordinates the many aspects of regression, load-testing, and monitoring. The suite's e-Reporter feature is enhanced with Web Reporter, a Web-based interface that allows network participants to create and view e-Reporter test reports and graphs. Version 4.2 also adds the Netscape Enterprise Server to the supported application servers, operating systems, and database servers. In addition, it features support for most foreign languages, including Asian languages that implement double-byte character sets. e-Test suite 4.2 should be available by early May 2000, with prices starting at ,995.

Sun posts JCP 2.0 draft

Sun Microsystems has presented a draft of the Java Community Process (JCP) program, dubbed JCP 2.0, for analysis and feedback. The JCP creates Java technology specifications through a community process, but it has lately faced criticism for being too easily influenced by Sun. The proposed changes include speeding the appeals process, creating an executive committee, and simplifying the JCP itself.
