The app-hosting project allows java.net project owners to show case their applications by deploying them on Sun Java System Application Server PE 8.1 which is hosted by locaweb. BP Catalog 1.0.1 is the latest project that has been deployed and you can try out the solutions that you have been reading about.

BP Catalog project provides a set of guidelines, best practices and sample applications for the J2EE platform. Last week BP Catalog was deployed through the app-hosting project and is now available for users to try out. Some fo the solutions available include an AJAX example for auto-completion, JSF component to create a tabbed views and passing context information for Web Services to handle messages. The complete list of deployed solutions is on the app-hosting page.

Earlier I blogged that project AtLeap was the first application to take advantage of this free service. You can check out their app here. If you are interested in having you application deployed go to the app-hosting project for more info.
