Create secure Java applications productively, Part 2
This is the second in a two-part tutorial series on creating secure
Java-based Web applications using Rational Application Developer, Data Studio
and Rational AppScan. In Part 1 you developed a Java Web application with Rational Application Developer, and
then deployed the application on WebSphere Application Server with Java Server Pages
(JSP). This tutorial shows you how to scan the Wealth application created
in Part 1 using Rational AppScan to discover and fix all known Web security
vulnerabilities. It also shows how to re-scan your application and generate reports. |

The Jazz tutorial, Part 6
Learn how to create an iteration plan, how to edit the plan overview and how
to balance the workload across team members. Teams following agile methods typically
divide their release schedule into a series of fixed-length development iterations,
with fixed end dates. Planning for these involves scheduling the work to be done
during an iteration and assigning elements of that work to members of the team. To
be effective, plans need to be accessible to everyone on the team and to change
dynamically over the course of the iteration to reflect the team's position and
direction. This demo shows you how. In this demo series, the Jazz client refers to the IBM Rational Team Concert product and the Jazz server refers to the IBM Rational Jazz Team Server. |

UML. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides convenient, well-understood,
well-documented, and commonly practiced support for use case, collaboration, data,
interface, class, component, interaction, state, and activity modeling. You can
exploit this to capture application models that can be transformed to various
platform architectures. The transformation from UML to Process Execution Language
(UML-to-BPEL) that this article describes translates UML artifacts into BPEL
artifacts. |

Build Web services with transport-level security using Rational
Application Developer V7, Part 2: Configure HTTP basic authentication
Part 1 of this tutorial series gave you step-by-step instructions for
building a Web service for a simple calculator application. You generated Web services and tested
two different types of Web services clients -- a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition
(Java EE) client and a stand-alone Java client -- and handled user-defined
exceptions in Web services. This second installment in the three-part series shows
you how to configure HTTP basic authentication for your Web services and Web
services client, and monitor the HTTP basic authentication information using the
TCP/IP monitor. |

Advanced features of IBM Rational Purify: Debugging with Purify
IBM Rational Purify is a tool to accurately detect memory corruption errors,
which are otherwise very difficult to analyze and fix. It monitors and analyzes how
a program is using memory and reports errors with source code details that pinpoint
the cause and location of the error. In this article, you will learn how to use
Rational Purify APIs and watch points with any debugger to analyze memory
errors proficiently. |

Application deployment using Tivoli Provisioning Manager and Rational ClearQuest
This demo begins with the role of a project manager approving a request for deployment of version 2 that resolved a defect in the Web banking application. The initiation to deploy the application is done using Rational ClearQuest. The deployment to distribute the application is done by Tivoli Provisioning Manager. After observing the deployment, the demo transitions to the role of the tester and confirms that the deployed application is functioning correctly. You'll observe how Rational ClearQuest is used to track deployments of applications that support governance/compliance processes that require approval. You'll also see how deployment work flows in Tivoli Provisioning Manager can be initiated remotely through a ClearQuest action. |

Change management with IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearCase, Part 1
This demo shows you how to integrate IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearCase into a integrated change management solution. A deployed Web banking application is tested for defects. Once the test manager discovers the defect, the manager walks through the submission process. The defect is reviewed and assigned to a developer (Alex in the demo) by the project manager. Once the defect is assigned to the developer, he works to resolve the defect utilizing IBM Rational Application Developer, ClearQuest, and ClearCase. This is the first of a two part demo series. |

Change management with IBM Rational ClearQuest and ClearCase, Part 2
This demo continues where part 1 left off. It follows the developer (Alex) as he works on resolving the defect submitted to him. Alex uses IBM Rational Application Developer with plug-ins for ClearQuest and ClearCase. First, you'll see Alex's to-do list that contains submitted high severity defects assigned to him. Next, Alex connects to the ClearCase server and changes the code to correct the defect. Then Alex verifies his changes by running the application within his IDE. Finally, Alex checks in his changes and transition the state of the defect from open to resolved using ClearQuest. This is the second of a two part demo series. |

Transformation to SOA: Part 3. UML to SOA
This article describes how to make the transition from the UML
model of the software services to the domain-specific, service-oriented
architecture (SOA) model by using the UML-to-SOA transformation tool that is
included in IBM Rational Software Architect 7.0.0.2 or later. This transformation
serves as an umbrella for the different transformation extensions for the specific
software implementations and run times. |

Deploy your application using Rational Build Forge and Tivoli Provisioning Manager
This demonstration illustrates how Rational Build Forge and Tivoli Provisioning Manager together form an automated build and deployment solution. This is the third in a series of demos. The first demo showed how applications can be developed, the second used Rational Build Forge to build the application while tracking the results of the build in ClearQuest. In this final demo, the resulting WAR file from the build is deployed to the application server by running a Build Forge project that remotely invokes a Tivoli Provisioning Manager work flow. |

Build your application using Rational Build Forge
This demonstration illustrates how Rational Build Forge and Rational ClearQuest can be used to automate the build and deployment tracking of your applications. This is the second in a series of three demos. The first demo showed how applications can be developed, built, and tested in the developer's IDE using Rational Application Developer and the Eclipse plug-ins provided by Rational ClearCase, ClearQuest, and Build Forge. In this demo, Rational Build Forge is used to build the application while tracking the results of the build in ClearQuest and then using ClearQuest to request a deployment of the application. In the next demo, the results of the build will be deployed to the application server using Rational Build Forge and Tivoli Provisioning Manager. |

An introduction to the IBM Views and Viewpoints Framework for IT systems
In 1995 Philippe Kruchten of Rational Software Corporation published his now famous paper, The "4+1" View Model of Software Architecture. The paper presented a model for describing the architecture of software-intensive systems based on the use of multiple, concurrent views which allowed the concerns of various stakeholders of the architecture to be addressed. Since the publication of that paper many of its ideas have been incorporated in development processes such as the Rational Unified Process and standards such as the IEEE 1471 - Recommended Practice for Architecture Description of Software-Intensive Systems [IEEE1471]. In this paper we describe how the ideas put forward by Philippe Kruchten have been advanced in IEEE 1471 and subsequently incorporated into a new framework for describing systems based on the concepts of views and viewpoints. |
