Welcome to another Week in JBoss, a summary of all that has been happening around the JBoss Communities.  Despite many people being on vacation we still manage to discover many interesting articles for you to read, letting you catch up on the progress that is being made within the projects.

Improving ModeShape Performance

The performance of a ModeShape repository often depends on the hierarchy of the nodes and the distribution of the data through those nodes.  Deciding how best to structure the repository can often be difficult, with no real hard and fast rules to rely on, but a good understanding of the performance implications of your choices will help you to tune your structure and get the best out of your repository.

Infinispan and Hot Rod Remote Events

Infinispan has been providing client access to remote grids using the Hot Rod Protocol since 2010 but, until Infinispan 7.0, it was not possible for those clients to receive and react to events being generated within the cache.  With the introduction of this capability the Infinispan team have begun a series walking you through these events and showing you what can be achieved using this functionality.

Ceylon 1.1 and Touring

The Ceylon team are on the brink of releasing Ceylon 1.1 and have published a progress report detailing the work and priorities that have driven this release over the last six months.  To coincide with the upcoming release Gavin King and Stéphane Épardaud have planned a tour of JUGs along the East Coast of the USA.  If you are in the area then stop by to learn more about Ceylon and take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions from those who design and build the language.

Drools Execution Server

Drools 6.2.0 will include the new Drools Execution Server, a war that will allow you to host the execution of Knowledge Bases on a remote server and provide access through REST APIs.  Edson has recently created a video demonstrating the current state of this development work, available in Drools 6.2.0 Beta1.
