Terracotta Offers Eclipse Plug-in for Point-and-Click Clustering Technology; New Plug-in Makes DSO Functionality Available from Eclipse; Demonstrates Terracotta's On-going Commitment to Open Source Integration.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- Terracotta, Inc., a leader in delivering groundbreaking solutions for enterprise Java scalability, today announced the availability of its Eclipse plug-in for Terracotta DSO See CSO. , the company's enterprise-class JVM See Java Virtual Machine. JVM - Java Virtual Machine clustering technology. Bundled with Terracotta DSO, the new plug-in makes Terracotta's point-and-click clustering functionality available from within the Eclipse IDE and demonstrates the company's on-going commitment to open source integration. "Eclipse has taken the developer world by storm and become one of the most popular open source IDEs for Java application A Java program that is run stand alone. The Java Virtual Machine in the client or server is interpreting the instructions. Contrast with Java applet. See servlet. development," said Ari Zilka, founder and chief technology officer at Terracotta. "Terracotta DSO already provides plug-in capacity and availability for Java applications running on two or more machines. This plug-in further simplifies the clustering process by automatically generating the necessary configuration files." Terracotta DSO (Distributed Shared Objects) is a runtime solution that allows data to be shared across multiple JVMs without the need for proprietary APIs, custom code, databases, or message queues A storage space in memory or on disk that holds incoming transmissions until the computer can process them. See messaging middleware. . With Terracotta DSO, objects can be clustered at runtime just by specifying them by name. Typically, objects and data to be clustered, as well as classes to be instrumented, are manually declared in an XML XML in full Extensible Markup Language. Markup language developed to be a simplified and more structural version of SGML. It incorporates features of HTML (e.g., hypertext linking), but is designed to overcome some of HTML's limitations. configuration file. With the Eclipse plug-in, the declaration process is automated via graphical representation of classes and objects, which can be browsed and acted upon within the IDE. Right-clicking objects and selecting Terracotta options from the context menu automatically generates the XML configuration file. The point-and-click automation improves productivity and eliminates iterations. To facilitate application testing application testing - system testing , the Eclipse plug-in lets developers start and stop Terracotta servers and clients from within the Eclipse IDE. In addition, the plug-in provides a more intuitive, developer-friendly XML experience by replacing raw text with graphical representations of sub-declarations within the XML configuration file.
