Combine the power of WebSphere sMash with Adobe Flex
These days, everything from getting your local weather to sharing a
video with your 500 closest friends is driven by a Web 2.0 application. With
more environments relying on Web 2.0, IBM has released WebSphere sMash, an
application framework designed around core concepts such as agile development,
simplicity, and REST-ful interfaces. While most WebSphere sMash examples have
user interfaces expressed using Ajax and either plain HTML or the Dojo Toolkit,
this article shows how a simple sample application can be enhanced to support a Web 2.0 user interface written in Adobe Flex. Server implementations are provided in both Groovy and PHP. This article is for intermediate developers who have experience using REST and developing with the Adobe Flex Development Kit. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal) |

Develop XML-driven Ajax applications fast with Data Studio
Web services are a popular way to communicate data over the Internet in XML format; databases have long since been an integral part of any Web application. With Data Studio, developers can integrate the two by defining SQL and SQL/XML queries that you can automatically build and deploy as a Web service. In this tutorial, you'll develop a data-driven Web service using Data Studio and craft an Ajax application for the gaming industry where users can browse games they want to play, search for them by title, and even add, edit, and delete games. The Ajax application running on the client communicates with the gaming Web service in XML format, both of which are served on WebSphere Application Server. |

Understanding how EJB calls operate in WebSphere Application Server V6.1
Many applications use Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) deployed in an IBM
WebSphere Application Server EJB container. Communication to these EJB
components requires the use of concepts like Internet Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP)
communication, JNDI look-ups, and workload management. This interaction can be
complex and is often a black box for many WebSphere users. This article
provides a basic understanding of how EJB communication works in the context of
WebSphere Application Server. Communication into and out of the ORB is
addressed, along with the definitions of basic call patterns and components
involved in making calls to EJB components deployed in the EJB container. A basic understanding of J2EE principles and general
administration knowledge of WebSphere Application Server is assumed. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal) |

Comment lines: Reginaldo Barosa: EGL is ready to help you to adopt Web 2.0
Web 2.0 is a new technology based on JavaScript for writing applications that will run using
Web servers. Web 2.0's performance and interface are excellent because JavaScript runs in
the browser, not on the remote machine that serves the Web page, and sine the
resulting Web page is more responsive with greater flexibility, the user’s
experience can go beyond receiving and submitting a page. This article explains
how you can easily work with Web 2.0 applications using Enterprise Generation
Language (EGL), instead of complex emerging technologies. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal) |

IBM SOA Foundation product integration: Managing your WebSphere-based SOA solution
As more companies are putting service oriented solutions -- including a portfolio of services -- into production, the role of managing of these solutions becomes increasingly important. This ranges from monitoring individual services with respect to their associated service level agreements and the discovery of ”rogue” services that do not follow established protocols, all the way to the active management of an entire environment of applications, servers, and the networks that connect them. This part of our series on integrating products of the IBM SOA Foundation looks at how to manage a WebSphere-based SOA solution with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA.

Running and monitoring offline scripts in a Java EE environment using WebSphere Application Server
Offline processing isn't strictly for mainframes. There are many cases, even in
the Java world, where it
makes sense to strategically schedule scripts to run at certain times or under certain
conditions, rather than immediately as a direct result of user interaction. This article
explains how to submit scripts from within a Java EE environment , and also looks at how
security comes into play when running scripts on remote machines. (IBM WebSphere Developer Technical Journal) |

Web service mediation patterns for dynamic routing of multiple tenant requests using WebSphere Business Services Fabric
Explore one of three IBM middleware based mediation patterns for rapid enablement of multi-tenancy for existing Web services implementations. The pattern in this demo uses WebSphere Business Services Fabric. The remaining two patterns show the use of WebSphere Enterprise Services Bus and WebSphere DataPower. In the demo, multi-tenancy is enabled for an existing single tenant credit check service by introducing a WebSphere Business Services Fabric based mediation pattern layer. This pattern layer uses a new TenantID assertion defined as an extension to the core WebSphere Business Services Fabric ontology. The assertion acts on properties defined in the Web services context to dynamically route credit check service requests from users for a particular tenant bank to service endpoints dedicated to that bank. The WebSphere Business Services Fabric subscription manager is used to enroll users and organization to the credit check service and the WebSphere Business Services Fabric performance manager is used to view service usage logs for each tenant.

Use JRuby on Rails and XML to supercharge Ajax with a Java Application Server
The Ruby on Rails framework has handy XML features that will make developing
with and serving database data in XML format to your JavaScript applications easier
than ever. JavaScript also has built-in XML parsing capabilities that make it a snap
to receive and parse data in XML format. But what if you now want to hook into Java
applications without having to deploy another server? That's where JRuby comes in.
JRuby on Rails is the Java implementation of the Ruby on Rails framework and brings the benefits of Rails to Java programming by allowing deployment of Ruby apps to Java application servers. In this tutorial, you'll develop a JRuby on Rails application deployable to a Java application server that will serve database data in XML format to an Ajax client that you'll build for film lovers to manage their online films database. You'll also deploy a couple of Java Server Pages pages on the same Java application server to assist the Ajax client in adding and updating films. |
