Java Forum / General / June 2004So no one is using eXo, eh?
Is it really true that no one reading this group is using or familiar with eXo? The query I posted about it a couple days ago only got about 1 response. I was under the impression that eXo was a well-respected platform that had an established user base. Am I mistaken? Thanks!

I've never used it, but I did notice that theserverside.com ran a series of articles on it http://www.theserverside.com/articles/article.tss?l=eXo -- now with more cowbell >>Is it really true that no one reading this group is using or familiar with >>eXo?

Thanks. I probably should have mentioned that.

For anyone else curious, its one of my favorite all-time SNL skits... The entire skit here: http://snltranscripts.jt.org/99/99pcowbell.phtml Skit was a take off of VH1 Behind the Music, Blue Oyster Cult. They are in the studio recording "Don't Fear the Reaper". Christopher Walken plays Bruce Dickenson, who's producing the album. Will Ferrell is the guy playing Cowbell. The rest of the band doesn't like it, but Walken's character keeps saying: Gotta have more cowbell... At one point it gets pretty antagonistic, with the rest of the band getting on Will Ferrell's character, and it goes: Will Ferrell: Can I just say one thing? I'm standing here, staring at Bruce Dickinson! And if Bruce Dickinson wants more cowbell, we should probably give him more cowbell! And, Bobby, you are right - I am being selfish. But the last time I checked, we don't HAVE a whole lot of songs that feature the cowbell. Bruce Dickinson: I gotta have more cowbell, baby! Will Ferrell: I'll be doing myself a disservice, and everybody in this band, if I don't perform the hell out of this. Bruce Dickinson: Guess what? I got a fever! And the only prescription... is more cowbell! -- now with more cowbell > Skit was a take off of VH1 Behind the Music, Blue Oyster Cult. They > are in the studio recording "Don't Fear the Reaper".

Anyone who is in a position to contribute /anything/ towards his query must, by definition, already know what eXo is. Any anyone else who is curious can find out in about 5 seconds with a quick Google search (as I did myself, never having heard of eXo). -- chris >Why should he ? Anyone who is in a position to contribute /anything/ towards >his query must, by definition, already know what eXo is. Not necessarily. If I said, "does anyone know of a good replacement for Publish Button", then refused to tell you that Publish Button is an open source collaborative web content manager, I should expect stunned silence.

The query I posted about it a couple days ago only got about 1 [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > explanation of what eXo is. So well, what do you expect? That everyone > just starts Googling about that thing and writing an essay for you? No - my question wasn't: Please go familiarize yourself with eXo so that you can post a report on it for me. It was: If you are familiar with eXo, would you mind posting your impressions of it here? And, of course, if one is familiar with it, he will not need an explanation of what it is. Now it could be that no one reading this group is familiar with it, in which case no responses is what I would expect. I just posted this 2nd article with the slightly provocative title in case some one who does know it didn't see the first post. BTW, the eXo site is: http://exo.sourceforge.net/ Here's the short description from their main page: Integrated application suite The eXo platform is an Open Source integrated application suite that provides several dependant services in a loosely couple way using a lightweight container. The eXo platform services stack : * Low level : Log, database, hibernate, XML processing, cache... * Middle level : Portlet container, Workflow, JCR... * Higher level : e-commerce, publishing... How to query those services The service stack can be reached through two channels : a portal and web services. Standard implementations The eXo platform provides a CERTIFIED portlet container (JSR 168 - JCP specifications) that can also be queried through web services (WSRP - OASIS specifications).

Am I mistaken? well I guess it just means that nobody reading the group had the time or inclination to reply - after all there's no obligation for anyone to reply. more constructively, have a google for eXo forums and mailing lists. There are some areas of technology (postgresql being one example that affected me very recently) where there is relatively little activity on usenet but a very active set of mailing lists.

True. I suppose it would have been more accurate if I had concluded that the number of people reading this group who are familiar with eXo is not statistically high enough that one of them would respond to my query, rather than that no one reading the group is familiar with it. :-) > more constructively, have a google for eXo forums and mailing lists.
