Announcement: The release of GigaSpaces Platform 1.1

[nati shalom <na...@j-spaces.com>]

Dear Community Members,

I am pleased to announce the general availability of 
GigaSpaces (formerly

J-Spaces) Platform 1.1, available for free evaluation 
at: http://www.GigaSpaces.com.

 

GigaSpaces is a state-of-the-art Distributed Shared 
Memory (DSM) service. It fully implements sun’s 
JavaSpaces™ specification.

Our current 1.1 release includes major enhancements 
that makes it extremely cost-effective for web and 
enterprise services that need to build scalable, 
collaborative applications in a simple and fast 
manner.

 

Here is a brief summary of the most important changes 
and improvements:

 

Enhancement for web-services applications:

 

�Web Container integration (Tomcat). Our platform 
include an embedded version of tomcat. This makes the 
process of building distributed and collaborative web 
services applications extremely simple and easy.

�Distributed Session Management api. Session could be 
shared across several servers/containers through 
almost the same Session Api.

�SOAP client – makes the space an ideal platform for 
sharing and exchanging information for mobile, remote 
and even none java clients.

�Open Directory services integration: The GigaSpaces 
platform supports both the JNDI directory interface 
and JINI dynamic discovery interface. 

 

Enhancement for E.A.I and messaging applications:

�Messaging Classes - Queues and Notifications with 
Entries: Simplifies

building messaging oriented applications with spaces. 
Queues are FIFO

Channels on top of spaces. NotifyDelegator now 
enables the receipt of a

RemoteEvent together with the Entry that triggered it.

 

�In addition to that we provided a separate framework 
for Peer To Peer communication named SpaceBus under 
the a free source license also available for download 
through our web site.

 

Open integration with backed persistent storage for 
flexibly and reliability:

�Out of the box integration with IBM cloudscape. ( 
this db is included with our product ).

�Users can use an external RDBMS for persistency 
trough our generic JDBC driver.

�Persistent spaces now use an LRU based, size-
configurable Cache Manager.

 

 

Api Enhancement for performance and ease of use:

 

�BATCH operations and enhanced space API - 
readMultiple(), takeMultiple(),writeMultiple(), clear
(), count(), update() and AdminIterator.

 

Distributed collections Api:

�GigaSpaces provides support for distributed 
Hash,Set,List collections. Through this api the space 
could be used as a shared resource for collections. 
This api provides a native collection interface thus 
it hides the integration with the space and makes the 
use of the space completely transparent.

 

Management enhancement:

�Space Browser - a graphical management console that 
enables the configuration of containers and spaces in 
the network and simple debugging of space based 
applications.
