The new version of the flagman server of Java applications of Websphere 8 from IBM company, as expected, will appear on June 17, according to the data published on the website of IBM.
It is said in the statement of April 5 that the application server will be available in network since June 17, and a media set - since July 22. IBM released the beta of a product last year.
It will be the first sales of the server with a full support of the last corporate Java EE 6 standard, and also the first version of software as a part of which there will be a manager of installation from IBM whom the company began to complete big with a part of the products, Steve Robinson, the consultant writing the book on administration of Websphere 8 noted.
Though IBM changed a lot of things in Websphere 8 in general, this version - something bigger, than thin setup of the master code, at least, in comparison with complete reconstruction which was carried out by the company in version 7, released in 2008, Robinson told.
He noted that the software, even, apparently, is loaded into betas much quicker and shows a number of new remarkable opportunities. Installation of main system should simplify deployment, especially for the companies needing the software installation on different hardware platforms. One more new feature of "drag-and-drop" allows to place the Java application in the "live" folder, for operational application launch that for developers should simplify testing.
Considerable work was carried out for integration of an internal system of exchange of Java messages Websphere into the service bus of the enterprise (ESB) from IBM called by WebSphere MQ.
According to Robinson, the company tries to make absolutely invisible joints between the existing infrastructure of MQ and applications of a server framework of message exchange of Websphere. It could allow applications of Websphere and applications one MQ faster to exchange data.
The representative of IBM confirmed authenticity of the declaration on the website of the company, but refused to comment on correctness of date of release - on June 17.
Next week, IBM will hold the conference on a subject of the middleware (middleware) called Influence where the management of IBM, undoubtedly, will open data on the forthcoming exit of Websphere.
