Feedback always appreciated.

The good news is that the BeanBrowser has made great technical strides. Two of the largest re-engineerings necessary for the BeanBrowser's growth are now happily behind us.

1) The method of transmitting our distributed objects has changed from Java Serialization to XML byte arrays packaged in serialized Zip streams.
2) The web interface is now implemented in JSP, with servlets handling the posts in a MVC manner.... read more

The BeanBrowser is now in beta!

Please visit http://www.beanbrowser.org where you will find a completely new website, featuring brand new Install Guide, Tutorial, and technical Whitepaper.

Please participate in the simple beta program as outlined at http://www.beanbrowser.org. Thank you!

New release available at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=5671&release_id=15558

Advances include:
Inclusion of sample application. Simple. Big change.
New Build process. Checkout, compile, jar, copy dbs, zip. No derived files checked into CVS.
Will launch from any IDE. Some IDEs don't allow you to control User.dir (JBuilder, VisualAge, Kawa) and we have now a clever solution involving BeanBrowserRoot.xml.
Distribution defaults to localhost now, which makes for a breeze of an install because there is no need to set the IP of the server. Servlet engine can connect through localhost.
Only bug in tracking system solved. Bug fixes in Image, Attachment and Ref JavaBeans. Plenty left.... read more

The BeanBrowser is a P2P web constructed of Java objects that contain JavaBean components. BeanBrowser developed content enables web-based communities and file-sharing. Promising technology in need of support. http://www.beanbrowser.org

Contact me, markj@users.sourceforge.net, if you are interested in participating in a BeanBrowser beta. We will enter beta in a month or so.

Have climbed to 89% on the SourceForge activity percentile. Whose counting? http://sourceforge.net/softwaremap/trove_list.php?form_cat=251&discrim=198,91

Development in the last month has amounted to improved portability and standards compliance. Databases are portable now that the server information is not serialized. Servlet 2.2 compliance. Ported to Windows2000. Property files now saved in XML. Greatly simplified installation. Generated XML, HTML and content all saved in dbs directory for easy backup (and it was a slow month).... read more

For what it is worth, we are at the 85th activity percentile. BeanBrowser belongs in the top 50. Write a JavaBean. Run a server. JavaBeans, XML, RMI, JSP, EJB, good stuff. Free Speech. Check out the BeanBrowser.... read more

BeanBrowser is launched at http://www.beanbrowser.org.
