About Me
My name is Bill Burke. Professionally, I was one of the early JBoss contributors (JBoss 2.0 days!). Over a 5 year span from 2001-2006, I saw us grow from a 2 to a 200 person company until we were acquired by Red Hat for $350 million. I still work at Red Hat and JBoss to this day and its been fun seeing how open source can flourish as a business model. My early projects included adding clustering to our EJB layer, then, later on leading, the EJB 3.0 and AOP projects and as well as other architectural endeavors. I was JBoss’s representative to the Java EE 5, EJB 3.0, and JAX-RS expert groups and JSRs within the JCP. My current interests revolve around applying REST to anywhere I can at JBoss, specifically the RESTEasy project, HornetQ’s REST interface, and other planned initiatives in this area of distributed computing. I’ve also written numerous books and articles over the years that you can browse in the Publishings page of this blog.
Personally, I’m an avid New England Patriots football fan and have been a season ticket holder with my dad and sister since 1993. (No you can’t have tickets). I also enjoy playing guitar, watching my girls do ballet, coaching their soccer teams, hanging with my wife, and playing poker in our local poker club.

Hi Bill,
I was wondering if you have any links you can share pointing to examples in Java that show a client using the REST interface to HornetQ. I’m building a system that requires me to exchange messages with Android clients. JBoss with HornetQ and its REST interface seems like a good fit but I’ve had difficulty finding example client code in Java.
Thanks,

Hello Bill,
i do not find any license information in the source code of scannotation. Without a license file it is not clear that the component is really under the Apache 2.0 license (wichi I found in the internet). Your response is appreciated.
Thanks
