What method do people recommend using to connect to an existing web service in Java? Everytime I search for information on Google, I end up with a lot of links about generating a web service in Java from a WSDL (or visa versa).....
Kilim is a message-passing framework for Java that provides ultra-lightweight threads and facilities for fast, safe, zero-copy messaging between these threads.
It consists of a bytecode postprocessor (a "weaver"), a run time library with buffered mailboxes (multi-producer, single consumer queues) and a user-level scheduler and a type system that puts certain constraints on pointer aliasing within messages to ensure interference-freedom between threads.
Jive releases 'Clearspace', portal-based collaboration platform based largely around the 'thread' paradigm. Browser, RIA-based. Features Sharepoint integration. This is a clear example of marketing as a 'wiki', but with no content repository that is being updated and collaborated on. Thus it appears to be primarily communications-based.
