jPOS Training/Montevideo is over, we managed to cover our schedule and even had some time to have some beers, wine, grappas and chivitos.

We had the great honor to host world class developers – coming from North America, South Africa – traveling almost 30 hours to come to our training, we really appreciate that guys!

We also had the chance to share some experiences and we got to know about some impressive products (such as kiosks, mobile payments, etc) that either rely or will rely on jPOS for exiting mission critical applications.

We expect to come to a city near you the next time.

Update: added trackback to Jeff’s blog which has some beautiful panorama pictures of Montevideo.

jPOS High Availability Service can be used to create a cluster of nodes where one of the nodes is used as a MASTER and the other(s) as SLAVE(S).

A typical setup involves jPOS HA taking responsibility for standing-in with a virtual IP address in the cluster.

In addition to providing peace of mind to your jPOS-EE installation, the HA Service has proven to be extremely useful when rolling out new software versions in a production environment, you roll it on a slave, then just disconnect the master, the slave becomes the new master running the new software. Should something go wrong, you re-connect the old master and disconnect the new one, that’s something you can even do at the RJ45 patchbox level, which may be faster than typing commands under high pressure.

jPOS-EE documentation has been updated and the jPOS-HA module is available for download .

We have to thank Dave for his work in this module and for deploying it in several mission critical systems under his control. Dave is now enjoying a well deserved vacation in Europe, certainly confident that should something goes wrong with a master node, the slave will pick up the load …

he may be also crossing his fingers … just in case …

We’ve made some minor changes to miniGL in order to integrate it as a jPOS-EE module.

GLSession now have a few new constructors that accept a DB object, so we can reuse DB’s Hibernate session.

In addition miniGL’s configuration has been adapted to jPOS-EE-SDK naming convention (see modules/minigl/cfg).

This module depends on the following modules:

• hibernate
• hibernate_xxx
• eecore

We have a couple of new modules in jPOS-EE that integrates Q2 with the excellent Java Service Wrapper.

We provide implementations for Windows as well as Linux.
