JBoss.CZ alive

I've resuscitated JBoss.CZ, the Czech community portal about JBoss technologies, now with a new design and soon with more and more stories on a regular basis from different authors. If you are Czech, add its feed to your reader and expect more. And if you are bold enough, join us in our effort!

A new web console for JBoss ESB

JBoss ESB is definitely a very nicely implemented service bus with a strong focus on SOA principles. It is an open source, backed by a living community, deployed in many enterprises. However, it has one obvious deficiency: a rather limited user interface. There is a bunch of tiny consoles - for management, configuration, transformation, but none of them really fulfills what I consider a must - comprehensive, intelligible, web-based tool for managing of all ESB artefacts. I'd like to browse and search through services, visualize a message flow within a service, create new actions and listeners by drag-n-drop etc.
You may say: if you don't like the present state, help and improve by yourself. And we did! We are close to a beta release of our web console, planned for the beginning of December. You can see some screenshots and more at esb-console.com. Stay tuned!
