This is a call for action to vote on Sun's bug 4910812 to make the JVM HotSwap support class API changes as well as method implementation changes. This would make Java exactly as agile as any scripting language. It is the single most annoying problem with the JVM for me at this moment. Keith Lea and Patrick Lightbody feel exactly the same. |

My presentation last week at Java In Action entitled "The Server-side Architecture Behind OpenLaszlo Applications" went very well. For those that attended it or that are interested and couldn't make it, I put the slides and the example code online:
I made a couple of changes based on the comments that I received after the presentation, it should be a bit clearer now for people that don't know what MVC is (yeah, it seems that not everybody does). |

They correctly summarize and describe some of the most important benefits of the web engine design. Thanks SD Times! |
