Google just nabbed Joshua Bloch, and now Adam Bosworth BEA's Chief Architect, is moving over. "This comes as a big surprise, given his highly visible role at the vendor's annual eWorld show just two months ago in San Francisco. In his keynote at eWorld, he launched Project Alchemy, a plan to build a next-generation mobile browser."

I hope he was asked to go It would confirm that BEA finally got their senses together. After Workshop disaster that cost BEA millions of $, the market lead and stagnation in the main product (that is WebLogic if you already forgot) all resulting in ultimate fiasco of open sourcing (just to get some community, for the Gods sake) I am surprised he wasnt booted before. Even more surprising is the pick by Google giving the track record (has BEA used anything from Crossgain technology they have acquired?). For Google it only proves the old fact you have to fill up the positions with names, just names, when you are preparing for an IPO

There are two things Adam Bosworth does better than anyone: (1) Talk to customers; and (2) build teams.
Adam is very smart and very cunning. Do not underestimate his ability or his team. He works with very smart people. A few others from Crossgain/BEA have migrated to Google as well. I can tell you this, I am sure they are working on something very exciting! Maybe if you need a job, you could talk to someone over there. :)

Try it. The problem with Workshop is that it is not full Java development IDE. It is a dragndrop environment, primarily for WS-based J2EE development (it, of course, supports EJBs, MBs, etc). So the problem is that you have to constantly keep {Eclipse|IntelliJ|JBuilder|whatever} in parallel with Workshop and that just kills it for most of the developers. Furthermore, Eclipse 3.0 with some plugins can do almost the same and it is a 1st class Java IDE.
Now they have all this dognpony show with Beehive and how you (the developer) can create various components to run inside the Workshop, etc. Anyways, I have heard people saying that it is helpful tool if you work with WebLogic so dont take my words for granted and give it a test drive.

Nikita. -

Believe it or not , I found in some cases New MSN search is better than Google. I m not promoting MS Search - just some simpkle observation. MS Search goes by the number of clicks as well as relevance of the search keyword , where as Google depends heavily on customer clicks on relevancy of the link. -

If I search on j2ee vs net (my favorite) on search.msn.com TTS is number 7 in the list. If I search on techpreview.search.msn.com TSS is no 1. Likewise on Google TSS also is number 1.
So new MS Search is something different then..
Google depends on, as I understand it on "how many links point to the site" and what pagerank these sites have.
MS Search: "Number of clicks as well as relevance of the search keyword"?
Its not altogether clear. Could you elaborate a little further?
And how many pages has MS managed to index so far?

The news of Adam Bosworths move from BEA to Google has me wondering. I am not surprised that Bosworth moved; hes always been much more attuned to the end-user experience then to server-side concerns. He must have felt out-of-step with BEAs primary audience. Google will let him focus on the Joe Users of the world in a way that BEA never could.
Earlier this year, at BEA eWorld, Bosworth seemed terrifically pumped by the prospect of intermittently connected browsing. He and his son demoed a prototype browser that would download entire web sites while on-line, let the user interact with the site while off-line, and queue up forms for submission when connection to the internet was re-established. The demo was pretty cool, but it wasnt immediately clear what role the Java application server really filled (the guts of the functionality appeared to be on the client-side).
As many of us have discovered, if you ever want to do anything interesting on the client side you quickly crash head on into the brick wall that is otherwise known as Internet Explorer. IE doesnt even handle Cascading Style Sheets properly, so any strategy for improving the users experience is going to have problems unless Microsoft is behind it.
Blatant Speculation : Perhaps Google is going to distribute an enhanced version of Firefox with disconnected browsing technology tied to the Google search engine.
Google has to be worried by Microsofts stated intention to include search in the Windows OS. If Microsoft does this right, Google would become as relevant on Windows machines as the Netscape browser. Google might be better, but if MS search is good enough and integrated properly the percentage of folks who use Google daily will plummet.
To combat this threat, Google needs unfettered access to the end-users. Theres only so much wizardry that can be done on the server-side, so youve got to get a foothold on the users machine. The Google tool-bar is a step in this direction, but its becoming increasingly moot as the enhanced features that it provides get incorporated into the browser (pop-up blocking, etc.). Disconnected browsing could be the killer-feature that gets them back in the game. -

Disconnected browsing could be the killer-feature that gets them back in the game.
I would never use this feature. I want my browser to reflect what exactly happens with the server, I do not need outdated forms and pages. Non-interactive stuff like dictionaries or ebooks can be cached, but some people still pay for traffic. And even if they do not, what is the point to buffer all the information that you _may_ need, but more often you would not. Features like this only overload the network.
From http://www.itnews.com.au/storycontent.asp?ID=1&Art_ID=19789: "For example, during the demo, Alex Bosworth retrieved account information from the Alchemy interface, but as he waited for the data to upload he was still able to do other tasks on the browser. In traditional browsers, users must wait for synchronous message calls to finish processing before performing other web functions." This is brilliant. How is this different from opening another browser window? Either the product is not good enough, or the journalist is not good enough to properly describe it.
It is like driving an 300hp SUV, saying "Well, I might need all this traction and power, when I go skiing... once a year". Instead of delivering the information, the net dumps on you stupid banners, ads and pictures. How many websites support text-only mode now? And it looks good? Instead of getting to the point and be precise, instead of hanging spammers on the trees (I installed broadband this Friday and immediately got popup from D-squared) let us get us a fatter channel. And if we cannot get a channel fat enough, let us suck as much as junk possible, because our dear user wants to see all this crap on a tiny screen of his mobile phone.
P.S. If they want a real showcase of disconnected technology, that would be online authoring. Like, if you have network PC and store document on the net, it would be nice to be able to save changes or to make undos or to insert picture from your online picture repository, if machine disconnects. -

I should read Adam's article before shouting about buffering: http://www.mobileimperative.com/documents.asp?d_ID=1777. Now I understand it, this is really interesting concept. Client is updated only with information it already have loaded before or have sent before to the server. The example with pending banking transaction is great, I like it.
I wonder, how it can be implemented? So, the client should have a small piece of server on it, basically a proxy. And if bill-pay is submitted again, this proxy should respond with "pending". Request is pending until the proxy did not get a response from server. Really easy. -

Ah, just the right stuff to raise my bloodpressure in the morning. I think Adam is totally right describing the problem and totally wrong proposing the solution - as he has been before :-).
Essentially I agree with Adam that the focus of mobile applications should be to use the resources for the application rather than for the communication.
I am not so sure this is the reason that calendars etc. are the most successful application on mobile devices. Unfortunately, he totally ignores that most users want synchronous communication for a lot of things. Online stock trading, buying airline tickets, checking in for your flight, reserving train seating, ordering the pizza all require synchronous interaction. This is simply because they must be sure that there request has been processed and must no the outcome because otherwise they would take some other action.
Apart from that the webservice communication is all but efficient, it either is concerned with rather large messages or with a significant amount of computation for compressing the message.
In my opinion, mobile device are much better served by applications rather than "pages". They are essentially about application rather than communication. Applications in turn are about logic and storage, so again there seems to be no reason to revert to a page-based, browser like environment.
Where he is right is about the lack of standards, or rather about the low quality of proposed standards. There would be nothing wrong with J2ME, if it had a decent API and acceptable startup time and seemless integration into the mobile device's (phone's) environment. The notion that it is "too hard" is ridicoulous, given that it is not much more complicated than, say VB, and there are millions of people around who can put together usable stuff for VB.
Oh, and one more thing: Compared to the Newtons Handwriting recognition, Palm sucks :-). The Newton's problem was size and price but not function. -
