Stacks

Open Source software stacks are a new kind of solution for companies wanting support and strong integration of the open source software they use. These stacks are based on open source software integrated and bundled by open source integrators like SpikeSource, SourceLabs or OpenLogic.

appfuse

Equinox is a lightweight version of AppFuse. I was inspired to create it while writing Spring Live and looking at the struts-blank and webapp-minimal applications that ship with Struts and Spring, respectively. These "starter" apps were not robust enough for me, and I wanted something like AppFuse, only simpler. Much of the documentation for developing with Equinox can be found in the Spring QuickStart Chapter in Spring Live. The basic Equinox application shows how to do simple CRUD on a database table.

SpikeSource Core Stack

The core stack of SpikeSource includes over 50 open source components (Apache Axis, Jetspeed, JBoss, Hibernate, MySQl, Postgres,...) in six programming languages from a range of SpikeSource-supported applications, libraries, web servers, and tools. SpikeSource offers seven pre-built stacks using combinations of these components as well as the ability for developers to create fully configured and validated made-to-order stacks.

These 7 pre-build stacks are:

- Web Server - for static web sites and those with simple PHP applications.
- LAMP Stack - for web sites with dynamic database-driven content written using PHP.
- Web Container - for dynamic web sites written using Java-based web technologies such as servlets and portlets.
- Web Container+DB - adds data storage to the Web Container configuration.
- J2EE Container - for web applications that separate web interface and application logic using Java Servlets and Enterprise JavaBeans.
- J2EE Container+DB - adds data storage to the full J2EE container configuration.
- Database Only - installs only the database component, for use either standalone, or with the Web Container and J2EE Container configurations above.

There is an interesting feature: you can build your personnalized stack, a subset of the global core stack. Doing this, you have just what you need, but still certified. It is not clear yet if the price will be different.

Today the Core stack is available for Red Hat Enterprise (and Fedora Cora 3) as well as Suse. Windows support will come soon.

SourceLabs SASH stack

SourceLabs SASH for Java integrates open source frameworks, including Struts, Axis Spring and Hibernate and their supporting libraries, certified and integrated with commercial and open source infrastructure software.

Right now, SourceLabs provides a download that includes the latest versions of SASH, on which they have run the included unit tests against WebLogic Server and the Oracle database management system.
