Support for java:app/ for embedded data sources (and resource-ref, env-entry, etc.) is in the 8.5.next beta.

Our development process is mostly agile.

I miss structs when programming in Java. I spent too long debugging a problem today that was ultimately caused by signed bytes, so I guess I missed unsigned types, too...

I personally find AOP difficult to work with for the same reason that it's so powerful: action at a distance.

All software development is a matter of architectural trade-offs, and our design process is very meticulous about evaluating those trade-offs, so I like to pretend we don't choose horrible trade-offs very often :-).

I think the holistic config is really nice in WAS Liberty Profile.

8.5.0 passed the TCKs for all the technologies that it included (servlet, JSF, JSP, etc.).

A very large amount of regression, stress, performance, and compliance testing goes into every fix pack. If you need a fix sooner, you can get interim fixes from IBM with a support contract.
