Resin 4.0.20 Release
This release focused on quality improvement, stability and Admin management tools. We reworked the networking state machine for comet/asynch timing. We added some troubleshooting and reporting tools to help Network Administrators and DevOps team get a better look at the day-to-day server operation as well as simple weekly summary reports. We understand that having an informative report is crucial in properly managing any web applications. By introducing custom graphs that will allow any JMX value to be metered and displayed, we put the report control in the user’s hand. Resin is a lightweight and web application focused app server that offers health tools to ensure high performance at any given time.
Resin 4.0.20 new features:
- Health PDF Reports – consolidates summary graphs to a single PDF document and is available from the /resin-admin summary and postmortem page.
- Weekly PDF Reports – daily or weekly scheduled PDF summary report to capture overview of server operation and is available in the resin/log directory.
- Custom Graph Pages – configurable graphs and meters for any JMX value, even user-defined values and is available in the /resin-admin section.
Once again, if you’re planning to upgrade to Resin 4, these next few months will be a critical time to address any bugs or issues you come across. We look forward to hearing your feedback and input.

Resin Health Check System with new PDF Reports and Custom Graphs
Resin Professional includes a powerful and configurable system for monitoring application server health. The Health System is based on a configurable set of checks, conditions, and actions. The health checking system runs internal to Resin on a periodic basis and can output PDF health reports routinely. Customizable health meters are available to dial-in on factors specific to your applications. Checks are generally always performed on the local Resin node, and if actions are to be taken, they are performed against the local Resin node as well.

Getting the most out of Resin and Java EE 6 tutorial series
We are working on a series of tutorials for getting the most out of Resin and Java EE 6. The tutorial will cover a wide range of subjects including using the Resin Admin Console to diagnose and fix garbage collection issues, throughput and memory issues, debug threading, developing with Resin using the Eclipse plugin and much more.
A good portion of the tutorial will focus on Resin features that support Elastic Cloud Computing and Health monitoring. Through this tutorial we will develop a blog website using plain Servlets/JSP/CDI/JPA, JSF/CDI/JPA and PHP (Quercus)/CDI/JPA. As we encounter architectural and scalability issues with the blog website, we will show you how to use Resin JMS, fault tolerant cache (JCache), load balancing, virtual hosting, URL rewriting, session replication and other performance enhancing capabilities.
This tutorial set will have full wiki text, secure code, presentations, and videos. Developers completing this tutorial should have the skills they need to build anything from a simple to highly scalable web application.
Reza Rahman presents "An Introduction to CDI and Seam 3" at the MCJUG
On August 17th, Reza will present a demo-driven introduction to CDI and Seam 3 at the Montgomery County Java User Group. He will explore the basics of CDI and will discuss the relationship between CDI Java EE, JSF, EJB, JPA, Weld and Seam 3. CDI is the next generation dependency injection API included in Java EE 6. Seam 3 is composed of a set of Java EE plugins for persistence, security, logging, internalization, JSF, Wicket, GWT, JAX-RS, email, Quartz, iText, Jasper Report, JavaScript remoting, JMS, Drools, jBPM, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and much more.
To put the discussion in action, Reza will have a step-by-step demonstration of CDI and Seam 3 (with running code) using CanDI, Resin’s CDI implementation.
Rick Hightower presents "JCache CDI Interceptors and Spring CDI Bridge" at the SVJUG
On September 20th, Rick will present JCache CDI Interceptors and Spring CD Bridge at the Silicon Valley Web Java User Group. Rick will discuss the work he has done with CDI and interception as part of the JCache (JSR 107) and with the Spring CDI Bridge, a Spring CDI extension.
CDI (JSR 299) is the Java standard for dependency injection (DI) and interception (AOP). Both DI and AOP are the foundation of many Java frameworks, and CDI will be the foundation of many future specifications of JSRs. Rick will cover a brief introduction on CDI and how it can be used outside of a Java EE 6 container as well as some fundamentals of CDI. It is an extremely extensible standard and can be used as a framework to build other frameworks. You can build EJB 3 or Spring as standard CDI extensions just as he did with Spring CDI Bridge.
JavaOne 2011 in San Francisco this October
JavaOne will be held at the Hilton Hotel on October 2-6 and will be co-located with Oracle World. Caucho® will be exhibiting at booth 5409. This will be a great week to meet and share Caucho’s latest developments with Resin and the Web Profile. Contact us at sales@caucho.com if you will be near the Bay Area or plan to attend JavaOne to arrange for a meeting.
An overview of Resin native optimization by Paul Cowan
Given that Resin’s Unix installer is a ‘make’ script, and the Windows version includes .dll files, users are often inquisitive about how and why Resin makes use of native code. In this tip of the month I’ll discuss Resin’s native optimizations, what native optimizations are provided in Resin Pro versus Open-Source, and when the native libraries are occasionally required.
Resin is a Java application server with native optimizations. For the most part the native optimization are optional and Resin will run fine in pure Java mode. It resorts to native code only when necessary and where optimizations make the most sense. Check out Paul’s blog post on Resin Pro’s enhanced options and convenient diagnostic tools.
