FaxIt Nice 3.0 is on the way

FIN 3.0, as i like to call it, the latest version of FaxIt Nice built on the turbine webapp framework is getting closer to production every day. I just closed out 2 massive blocker bugs which were preventing session serialization between the cluster nodes.

Actually i had to workaround both of them. The first was a bug in the web framework (Turbine 2.3.1) Its default user object is not serializable which prevents serialization of the session over the multicast socket.

The second is a wierd one, and I don’t really like my workaround. Basically some session data is lost during session failover from a crashed node, so i have to maintain another piece of session data to rebuild the lost data. Its hokey but until i can find out why the data is being lost in the first place I’ll just have to live with it this way

Anyway, the number of bugs is steadily decreasing and soon I’ll have to start making my list and checking it twice.
