I recently tried to deploy the latest release of JBoss Drools to Glassfish - and encountered the following error which I reported on the JBoss Drools JIRA:

JBRULES-1828: drools-5.0.0.MR2-guvnor deployment under Glassfish fails with AccessDeniedException

I also added a comment to capture Dave Sinclair's nabble.com posting of a work-around solution.

I've been heads down for the last few weeks working on the ESB and SOA design for a client engagement.

I've recently installed the following:

IONA's Fuse-5.0.0.6 Message Broker

Glassfish V2 UR1

JBoss Drools 4.0.3

This afternoon I helped some colleagues locate a utility to document directory structures. It is a Python script that generates an HTML listing. The Active State Programmer Network has some interesting code samples for Perl, Python, PHP, ???

I recently completed a preliminary review of the ebXML reference implementation (Omar-3.1). A few preliminary thoughts:

Bloated code base

Clutterd, ugly, non-intutivie User Interface design

Probably too "heavy" for most real usage

Reminds me of IBM's original UDDI service (that was also a bloated and ugly UI)
