Spike Washburn replied to andre m's discussion 'Maven plugin'
The run target was built more with the basic Maven use case in mind and works well with WARs that include source files and leverage standard maven dependencies.  To-date, this has worked fine for most maven-based web frameworks (like…

Spike Washburn replied to Ashish's discussion 'How to get jar path in a running stax app'
Interesting.  I'm glad you found a solution, but I'm a little surprised that worked.   If you want to get a URL to a known resource in your WEB-INF/lib dir, it's more standard to use something like:  …

Spike Washburn replied to andre m's discussion 'Maven integration and JNDI ref to Data Sources'
Hmm, there are no known issues with datasources and Maven, we actually use this internally for a lot of our own apps. Are you running using the stax:run goal? If so, you'd just need to include the datasource resource definition in the…

Hi John, thanks for the kind words and I'm glad to hear that your explorations are going well.  We absolutely realize that developers will need more than just a J2EE container and a Database to build applications, and are definitely…

Spike Washburn replied to Rowell Belen's discussion 'Stax JavaAgent Support???'
Hi Roswell, thanks for the question. Unfortunately, we don't currently expose any hooks to let you directly use a Java agent on our cloud, but that's something we can look into exposing more generically in the future (our New Relic feature…

Dedicated servers for your Stax applications

The Stax service now includes upgrades that improve production application security and reliability by allowing you to run dedicated servers on your own EC2 account. Dedicated servers are used only by your applications, so they are isolated from applications deployed by other Stax users and can take full advantage of the underlying computing resources.

Please review this blog post to learn more...

New Stax maven archetype for Scala

We've seen a recent surge in interest from the Scala community, so we've created some new guides for getting started quickly with Scala and Lift on Stax.



If you've never heard of Scala, it's a "tastefully typed" programming language for the Java runtime that combines powerful features from both the object-oriented and… Continue

Sure, I'll be interested to try creating a JPublish template. Also, a colleague of mine tried JPublish + Cayenne + mySql. The combination works like a charm and he is very happy for how friendly Stax is. Thanks again :)

First of all thank you for allowing us to beta test Stax, many thanks for that and thank you for the Stax project! I already have few friends really interested in using Stax and requests from them to support JPublish as a Stax citizen. My immediate plan is to try Cayenne (my preferred ORM) some REST simple tests and DWR for AJAX; I am almost sure they'll all work nicely with Stax. Right now, I am able to successfully run a JPublish demo application containing the Velocity and the Freemarker template managers and using Beanshell and RHINO Javascript for the server side scripting support (Actions), I am very happy for this.

Second, I couldn't find a methodology for proposing a new Stax application template, but probably I wasn't reading the appropriate documentation. I would like to create a JPublish application template and I'll be more than happy to offer it to the Stax community.

I'll try to share my experience with Heroku, though Java by itself is not as friendly as Ruby (RAILS) is, from hosting perspective, therefore I am looking at Stax with a different mindset.

Even with the features available right now in Stax, we (Java developers) have already a beautiful environment to host our applications. But I will definitely share my thoughts with the Stax community.

Thanks again!

I thought I'd just pass on a project status. Development is progressing very well. I can easily work locally, create flex interfaces, java services and interact with MySql. Then deploy to stax. Once deployed the database access very fast, BlazeDS works great all POJOs come through fine. Your product is exactly the kind of environment I need. Well conceived and works great. Thank you and keep up the great work.

I would kie to see my code deploy on many server in several Clouds.

If I could select the "Target" CLoud from a list like:

GoGrid
Mossio
Cloud9
AWS
...

This is a great start. My First Rails launch was easy and clean.

Spike,
I read about your company from JohnBs blog.

Can I get an invitation to Stax and check it out?

Look, I just checked jython because I figured it was lame to just check servlets (not even JSP, f that). JRuby was a little to wanna be for me.
