It has been a while since we posted an update on AppFabric SDK for Java Developers.

As we align the AppFabric SDK for Java Developers with the AppFabric features and programming style for the next milestone, there are a few changes in our approach.

In a nutshell, the AppFabric SDK for Java Developers will be adopting a REST based architecture for the next release planned for November 2009.

If you are using the AppFabric SDK for Java Developers today, what does this mean for you? Please see the updates on the Roadmap page for details of upcoming changes to the AppFabric SDK for Java Developers.

- The March 2009 CTP release uses solution names as part of the host name for all service end points. STS host reference location has changed from accesscontrol.windows.net to <solution-name>.accesscontrol.windows.net. Hence STS endpoint prefix has changed aswell.

- Solution name is now part of the DNS. All Service Bus applications must adopt this new naming convention of sb://<solution-name>.servicebus.windows.net/.

Stay tuned for future releases!
