IBM to Present "SOA with Apache Tuscany" Session at SOA World Conference & Expo

Thu, 08 Nov 2007 10:00:00 EST

Apache Tuscany provides an open source services infrastructure for building SOA solutions. It's based on emerging Service Component Architecture (SCA) specifications. With the Tuscany implementation of SCA, application developers can easily create or reuse services in different languages (Java, C++, BPEL, XQuery or various scripting languages), assemble and deploy them in a distributed environment. It now becomes a reality that application developer can really focus on the business logic without being puzzled by the plumbing technologies. In this session, we will introduce the key aspects of SCA by real examples and demonstrate how simple, flexible and powerful the experience can be to develop SOA solutions with Tuscany.

How to Build RIAs with Apache Derby and Grizzly Comet

Sun, 12 Aug 2007 09:45:00 EDT

There's a common misconception among many end users, consumers, and developers that AJAX is the ultimate solution for the Web, and that it can provide all the same functionality as a rich desktop solution. Sure, AJAX can mimic the functionality provided by a desktop application, but there's still one area that has yet to be fully integrated: scalable, server-initiated message delivery and client-side storage. Comet Request processing is an advanced technique to enable real-time messaging from a Web server to one or more browsers, databases and services. This session will highlight how a 100% Java database system such as Apache Derby can play an important role in enabling 'offline' and 'real-time' rich Internet applications (RIAs) by extending a Grizzly Comet-enabled application such as the browser with secure and elegant storage capability. Mixing Comet Request Processing and Apache Derby allow the creation of a real-time RIA application.

A Local AJAX Data Store with Apache Derby

Fri, 29 Sep 2006 13:30:00 EDT

This AJAXWorld presentation will showcase the concept of Local AJAX (LAJAX) and how to embed a database system such as Apache Derby to act as a local data store for Ajax-driven offline and online Web 2.0 applications. The challenge is not about embedding the database within the browser but rather how to provide a standard AJAX client-side service interface for Web 2.0 applications to make use services such as a local data storage one. Francois will highlight the basic architecture and design of a particular implementation and describe the direct benefits to existing and next generation Web 2.0+ applications. A demonstration of a working, practical AJAX-driven local data storage service will be shown to empower an existing online Web 2.0 application, to be run offline.
