From San Francisco airport with a poor sound … anyway, worth the 3 minutes video

 Bonita team, lead by Miguel Valdes from Bull SAS, and eXo Platform SAS have worked hard to show the first demo of the new Bonita and Orchestra consoles based on eXo WebOS at JavaOnce - San Francisco.

Bonita is a powerful Open Source workflow engine based on the new Process Virtual Machine (PVM) engine model. Orchestra is a BPEL engine, both share the same kernel.

In the new screenshots you can see the eXo WebOS environment customized for the monitoring consoles, it is possible to see the existing processes, their instances, the activities in the pipe as well as all the task list for users and groups!

During the official launch of the eXo Enterprise WebOS on a private boat in Paris, we had the pleasure to host a round table about the future of web applications.

All the market key players accepted our invitation and the show was great.

Note that the he video is in french and more than one hour long!

A special thanks to Christian Fauré who moderated this table, really great job Christian!

Francois Moron, our COO, will be in tunis next week for three days (15, 16 and 17)

He mainly goes there to meet partners and to participate to the Open Source Conference organised by Business & Decision

Here is the agenda

Today was a busy day, we have released two products. eXo JCR 1.8.2 is a maintenance release for our Java Content Repository implementation (JSR 170) while eXo PC 2.0 RC5 is one of the last release of our Portlet Container implementation before its final release along with the official launch of JSR 286 (Portlet API)

Here are the changes:

eXo PC 2.0 RC5

eXo JCR1.8.2

- RegistryService.recreateEntry improvement to make the recreate in one Session. This change prevent the service from problems in multi-thread environment.
- In RegistryService an exception ItemNotFoundException was replaced with PathNotFoundException. Code tunning with .hasNode (may cause a little speed increasing:).
- Core will has a check for Same-name siblings in persistence layer, that will prevent problems with concurrent creation of same-name siblings nodes.

The eXo forum application, part of the new product eXo Knowledge Suite (KS), is very close to a beta state.

This application has many many features which is quite impressive for a first version. In fact we have been working on it for almost 10 months now. As for all the other applications, the persistent layer is based on eXo JCR which, once again, allow a single storage repository for all your contents.

Here are some screenshots:

• Polls are also supported

And many many more…

We are getting closer to the final launch of our flagship products:

• eXo Enterprise Content Management (ECM) 2.0

Both products will be the basis of the subscription versions we will launch in the incoming month. They are the result of dedicated packaging and an extensive QA applied on the community version that is available at OW2.
