Red Hat’s middleware division, JBoss, recently held a virtual conference to announce several product updates, including a new version of JBoss Portal Platform. It also unveiled plans to create a new open source community project focused on enterprise-class middleware migrations. Craig Muzilla, vice president of JBoss, discussed these announcement and the issue of open source middleware with IT Business Edge’s Loraine Lawson.
Lawson: What sort of announcements are you looking at? Are you tweaking existing products or introducing new products?
Muzilla: There are a couple tweakings of product offerings. One is a project, an open source project called JBoss Mass. It’s really software that helps one migrate from an existing middleware platform or application service platform, more specifically to a JBoss application server platform. If you’re a customer running and you have developed a bunch of applications on WebLogic, for instance, but you want to introduce open source and want to introduce JBoss into your organization, this tool will allow a company to more easily migrate the configuration associated with that WebLogic instance to a JBoss instance. So it’s really something that helps organizations make the transition a little easier.
