Seeing how I’m not at Impact 2008, my impressions are going to be more geared towards what I see being said in the blogs, the twitter stream and the participation in the SOA Jam. My first impression comes from the SOA Jam, where I think I’ve posted two pretty good ideas. The first being that we [...]

I’m going to include my thoughts below: Most of the times the server wouldn’t change the status to started even if the server is actually started Agreed.

From the IBM Innov8 game. Premonition of the future? (Both sides??) Damn, she stole my gimmick should I ever be back on the job market. I’m not sure if a panhandler should be dressed better than the people she’s begging from though. The collared shirt probably has to go. Similar Posts:Oracle SOA Suite 11g – Hello [...]

Developing integration solutions with WebSphere Process Server relationships

syndication — Mon, 31 Mar 2008 15:00:00 +0000

The Relationship Service in IBM WebSphere Process Server is an infrastructure service that is well integrated with other transformation components. It includes a comprehensive administrative interface that you can use to easily implement complex integration scenarios without custom development of cross-referencing logic mixed in with your business logic. This article introduces the capabilities of the WebSphere Process Server Relationship Service, including those new in V6.1, and explains when and how to use these capabilities.

Go figure, I was googling for “WebSphere Process Server” and came across an AlphaWorks project: SCA Component for Ruby with IBM WebSphere Process Server. Unlike the article that ‘integrated’ the two via Web Services, this project will give you the ability to run Ruby from inside a component.

How to misrepresent your article

dan — Fri, 28 Mar 2008 18:10:19 +0000

The developerWorks article titled “Create a Web service with Ruby on Rails for integration with WebSphere Process Server makes it sound like it’s some cool new functionality that would allow a Ruby Component inside of process server. Alas, the “Integration” between Ruby and Process Server is done via a yawn-inducing boring old web service. I’d suggest [...]

Article about how to write Articles for WebSphere DeveloperWorks

From Developerworks, a little piece of self-promotion called Writing articles for developerWorks WebSphere Everything you’d ever want to know about getting an article published on developerWorks. One caveat, the article approval process is very long. My submission for the Test Client article took around 3 months to get approval. By then, I wasn’t all that interested in [...]

Pre-review: WebSphere Business Integration Primer
