The JMS 1.1 reference implementation will be included in the next release of the Java 2, Enterprise Edition (J2EE version 1.4). The JMS 1.1 specification focuses on providing interfaces that make it easier to program messaging in a domain independent way, while retaining the semantics of the pub/sub and point-to-point domains. Existing client applications that use JMS 1.02.b should be able to run unchanged with implementation of JMS 1.1. The specification also has a number of smaller clarifications and enhancements. Chapter 11 of the JMS specification lists all of the changes that areincluded in this specification revision.

April 23 Persistence® Software, Inc., a leading provider of distributed data management software for business visibility, today announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2002.
Revenue for the quarter was $2.2 million [down 55%], compared to $4.9 million for the first quarter of last year, in line with the preliminary results reported last week. Sales for the quarter were impacted by the deferral of revenue, as a result of consultation with the Company's independent auditor, from a multi-year, multi-million dollar sale to a major media client from the first quarter to the second and future quarters. As a result, deferred revenues increased from $2.1 million in the first quarter of last year to $4.6 million. The Company reported a net loss of $3.3 million, or $(0.16) per share, compared to a net loss of $5.1 million, or $(0.26) per share for the first quarter of last year. The net loss was also consistent with the guidance reported last week. Besides sales of the PowerTier product, the quarter included two major orders for the Company's new EdgeXtend product, the majority of which was deferred into the second and future quarters. http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/020423/latu079_1.html

Computing 18 April 2002 After a year of vendor hype, a new Merrill Lynch survey of 100 European and US IT managers showed that two thirds of companies are investing in web services. But neither Microsoft nor its Java-based rivals have emerged as a clear leader. Microsoft's .Net is being used by 22 per cent of organisations, while the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) environment is slightly ahead at 26 per cent, but 30 per cent of directors have yet to commit. http://nl9.vnunet.com/Analysis/1131041
