Best wish­es for the new year to all of you, from all of us!

Cheers

We are ask­ing for com­mu­ni­ty in­put on the fol­low­ing: over time, our ini­tial­iza­tion mech­a­nism (prop­er­ty file, sys­tem prop­er­ties, prop­er­ties sup­plied pro­gram­mat­i­cal­ly) has been pol­lut­ed a bit and as a re­sult the lookups are not al­ways in­tu­itive. We would like to im­prove this and are work­ing on a new de­sign pro­posed here. Let us know what you think!

Pro­posed new prop­er­ty lookup pro­ce­dure when Atomikos starts:

1. de­fault prop­er­ties are looked up via a prop­er­ty file in the Atomikos jars (should al­ways be found) 2. over­ride with spe­cif­ic cus­tom prop­er­ties looked up in the jta.prop­er­ties file in the class­path (like now) 3. if no jta.prop­er­ties found: NO log­ging to Sys­tem.err any more (so no need to dis­able that with sys­tem props ei­ther) 4. over­ride with spe­cif­ic prop­er­ties that are set pro­gram­mat­i­cal­ly on the UserTrans­ac­tionSer­vice 5. re­solve any place­hold­er prop­er­ties (i.e., ant-style ex­pan­sion of ref­er­ences to oth­er props) 6. this yields the fi­nal prop­er­ties to use for the init pro­ce­dure

What do you think? Did we miss some­thing im­por­tant?

Thanks!

I would like to ded­i­cate this post to all of our users who have been kind enough to give us their feed­back via our on­line sur­vey (you know, the one you re­ceive by email once you reg­is­ter for down­load).

First of all, thank you very much for your feed­back - this type of in­for­ma­tion is in­valu­able for any busi­ness, es­pe­cial­ly a start-up like us. Be­ing ag­ile as we are, any in­con­ve­niences found can be quick­ly cor­rect­ed in our prod­ucts and our busi­ness mod­el.

So what are the re­sults so far? Well, I won't keep you in sus­pense any longer so let me just out­line the sum­ma­ry:

• About 90% of the re­spon­dents would feel bad about miss­ing our prod­ucts in fu­ture projects
• About 60% have rec­om­mend­ed our prod­ucts to oth­er peo­ple

Up to you to de­cide if this is good or bad - but we cer­tain­ly are pleased with that re­sult! Once again, a big thank you to our com­mu­ni­ty!

Hi,

The Sonatype maven stag­ing repo for our lat­est build is avail­able here

En­joy!

2018 UPDATE: the sonatype re­pos have moved by now; since this con­cerns a very old re­lease we will not both­er to fix this page.

Our maven repos­i­to­ry is be­ing mi­grat­ed to a new lo­ca­tion with nexus be­hind it. This means that down­load emails no longer con­tain the repos­i­to­ry lo­ca­tion un­til this has been im­ple­ment­ed...

Thanks for your un­der­stand­ing!
