Oh my god, I am a .doc. The description is right, but no please no, no a .doc

I have been a member of the SoloJava blog for a few months by invitation of one of the founder members: Igvir. He greet us today on the mailing list with the information about the blog nomination to the "Lo Mejor de Punto Com" Award.

Thanks to the people that made the nomination, and congratulations to all the other excelent and hard to beat nominees

Recently I have been in the process of migrating my applications to JBoss 4.0 and doing the required testing. In that process I have detected a few problems with the 4.0.0 release, you can find the proposed patches on the following bugs reports:

• CMP beans always looks for the DefaultDS: This will be a problem only if you deploy a different datasource than DefaultDS, and you remove DefaultDS from deployment
• Problems deploying the same webservice from the same ejb-jar: happens if you deploy multiple instances of the same EAR with some J2EE 1.4 EJB Webservices

Update: Those bugs have been fixed and are expected to be release with JBoss 4.0.1

Today I meet the seven dogs that my best friend is the father, do you believe that a small Dachshund can give birth to seven tiny creatures at a time?, The record in the family (from the father of my dog) was five. The mother is a precious black dachshund, mine is brown, and only one of the puppies is black

IBM has decided to release Object REXX as open source using the Common Public License (CPL) V1. This was one of the scripting languages that I used every day when I was a fulltime OS/2 user, it is like the multitude of Unix/Linux shell scripting languages, but it supports an object oriented syntax

I am happy to see that this language will have the opportunity to be more used now that is free (as in freedom). Also there is a Java? version of it named NetRexx that is free (but it is not open source)

More information about REXX can be found on the Wikipedia REXX page
