I almost never get to see case studies with this kind of technical depth. There are areas I'd like to see expanded upon: (challenges; successes; rationale) In general, I'm just pleased to see this kind of information. I'd be interested in seeing a few more of these.
Very good case study, nice depth. I heard from a good source that they used Jini on this project too does anyone know anything about this? -John-
In general, I'm just pleased to see this kind of information. I'd be interested in seeing a few more of these.
We love this kind of content too, which is why we want to do as many of these as we can. If you are working on a project and your manager might be willing to publish some of it's interesting solutions, please contact us and I'll personally work with you to make it happen.
Good to see they used JBoss Rules Engine (Drools) (more on Pauls Blog)
