The latest version of IBM Websphere Application Server supports JDK 6.0, EJB 3.0, web services enhancements and Web 2.0 Feature Pack. IBM announced last week the release of Websphere Server 7.0 version. The new version also includes enhancements in Web services including support for JAX-WS, SOAP 1.2, MTOM, WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Policy, and Kerberos Token Profile.
With the new version, WebSphere has completed Java EE 5 certification which includes EJB 3.0 support and Java Persistence API (JPA). Web 2.0 Feature Pack leverages existing SOA and Java EE assets to deliver web applications through an open Asynchronous JavaScript and XML (AJAX) development framework.
Other features of the new version of WebSphere application server include the following:
Web 2.0 Feature Pack, an optional product extension for WebSphere Application Server V7.0, includes the following features:

WebSphere version 7.0 also includes WebSphere Application Server Community Edition version 2.1 which is a lightweight Java EE 5 application server built on open source Apache Geronimo technology. In addition to the community edition, the latest version also offers different server configurations which include the following:
Billy Newport recently blogged about the new release of WebSphere ND 7.0 and its features such as the new 64 bit IBM Java 6 virtual machine and the pointer compression feature offered by this JVM version.
The new release also offers enhancements in other areas like security, application development and systems management. Runtime provisioning and OSGi technology dynamically selects only the needed functions for memory and space reducing the application server footprint. New WebSphere Business Level Applications (WBLA) helps in the management of multi-component applications, simplifying administrative tasks. Also, IBM Rational Application Developer for WebSphere V7.5 supports the new WebSphere Application Server features to help the Java developers develop, assemble, and deploy Java/JEE web applications.
A free trial version of WebSphere Application Server version 7.0 is available for download. The free community edition version can also be downloaded from their website. Both downloads require user registration on the IBM website.

Brian Marick takes us through a quick tour of the most important values and challenges to adopting Agile successfully (they aren't the typical challenges and values we hear in the community).
The line between development and architecture is tricky. Does it exist at all? Is an ivory tower actually needed? There's a balance in the middle, but how do you move from developer to architect?
The word 'authority' sometimes produces an allergic response in hard-line agilists. Freedom and authority – both are bad if misused and both are good if used in right spirit for a noble cause.
"Getting Started with Grails" brings you up to speed on this modern web framework. Companies as varied as LinkedIn, Wired, and Taco Bell are all using Grails. Are you ready to get started as well?
Those familiar with only ITIL V2 often scoff at the thought that ITIL could serve as a governance framework for SOA. With ITIL V3, the focus of the framework shifted towards service-orientation.
