I am using Heroku for my Rails apps and I am loving it, what's not to love about Heroku?! :)

But I am also a Java developer, and like many others I am crying for a decent Java hosting provider. Bright future ahead: Stax.net. Stax will probably become for Java what Heroku is for Rails, which is awesome news.

You can apply for a beta account and start playing with some of the templates available from Stax; basic servlet support, wicket, etc.

For testing purposes, I decided to try creating a JPublish based application and to host it at Stax. 10 minutes later and the app was up and running, you can see it here:

JPublish @ Stax.net (an application based on the JPublish hello app available for download at Google.)

Drop me an email in case you're interested to install your own JPublish app in the cloud at Stax, and make sure you visit their Wiki page for more Stax related details: Stax Wiki

More details to follow :)
