Kai's new blog as a Sun employee is now The TAO of AMP and the latest posts are beginning to reflect Kai's style and expertise:

• Boost your AMP Website using mod_rewrite
• The Manga Guide to DataBases

Time to add The TAO of AMP to the daily reading list.

The inclusion of Hudson is a bit of an opportunistic move (more on that in a bit), the rest comprises a well tested, integrated, optimized, and extended component stack for your new and old Web Apps.

The WebStack can be downloaded here; the bundle includes the WebStack Enterprise Manager, which, unlike the other components, is not free right-to-use but rather is available with an eval license; this is a model like that of the GlassFish Enterprise Manager. The current release supports RHEL, Solaris and OpenSolaris (it is bundled in OpenSolaris); for additional details, check out the Documentation and Discussion Forum.

Check out these posts from the WebStack team: • CVR's Announcement and Overview. • CVR's note on two key properties: Fully Relocatable, and Updatable. • Sriram on Installing AMP stack within GlassFish Web Stack 1.5. • Irfan on the Enterprise Manager's Navigation Panel. • Jeff on Installing via IPS tools.
