Re: Reinventing SOA, JVM Tuning and WebLogic Real Time

"We don't have time to keep up to date," is the message I got from many Dev2Dev readers at a recent seminar that I attended. Here is how to (easily) stay in touch with Dev2Dev and the material that we publish without visiting our home page on a random basis:

• Via email: Subscribe to Dev2Dev Dispatch (you're reading it)—published approximately twice a month.
• Via blog: Subscribe to the Editor's Blog (feed here)—published approximately once a week, it summarizes all Dev2Dev activity that week.
• Via RSS: We also have article, blog and event feeds that list all articles, blogs and events as they happen.

Please register and take part in these upcoming webinars:

Dev2Dev Days 2006
March 21-May 31: Multiple cities throughout Europe, Asia and North America
BEA's premier technical seminar series is touring the world. Learn about Struts, JSF, Spring, Hibernate, JDO, Beehive and more. Registration is now open.

In the blogs, I provide some coverage of the London Dev2Dev Days event: Part 1: Web Tier and Part 2: Business and Data Tier.

Henrik Stâhl gives some great advice in Benchmarking Java: Don't forget warmup!. Henrik says, "To get the most out of your Java application, you must let the JVM warm up." He goes on to show how to use the -Xverbose:opt option to let you know when the warmup is complete.

Bill Roth looks at JavaOne: A look back, and predictions for this year. I'll be at JavaOne too, so pop in to the Dev2Dev booth and say "Hi."

Gabriel Bechara continues his investigation of re-use and co-deployment in WebLogic Integration in Application architecture using Weblogic Integration - Part 2.

Finally, Sheng Sheen writes about SIP Servlets vs. JAIN-SIP. Sheng points out that JAIN-SIP "is for use with the J2SE platform. Its uses include the development of stand-alone user-agent, proxy and registrar applications." He also points to Ken Lee's latest blog entry, New entrants validate BEA WLCP's industry leadership.
