Another nice article that addresses some topics of the Web Services interoperability between .NET and J2EE can be founded here. Particularly this article explores the strength and pitfalls of the traditional RPC/encoded style in Web services interoperability.
Hello, I am back. Seems like OASIS continue producing in the Christmas days:
OASIS has announced the approval of its Business Transaction Protocol Version 1.1 as a Committee Draft. BTP Version 1.1 represents a revision of the Version 1.0 specification in the light of feedback and implementation experience.
The OASIS Business Transaction Protocol specification defines the protocol "in terms of abstract messages schematized in XML. It defines communications protocol bindings to SOAP, but also allows the transport of BTP messages over other communication protocols. BTP is based on a permissive and minimal approach where constraints on implementation choices are avoided. The protocol also tries to avoid unnecessary dependencies on other standards, with the aim of lowering the hurdle to implementation."
For the New Year I plan to write a comparison about the different Standards available to Web Services transactions. BTP, WS-AtomicTransaction, WS-Coordination, WS-BusinessActivity, WS-CF, WS-Context, WS-TXM.
This is my first non technical post in almost a year:
I want to whish a merry Christmas and a wonderful new year to all of my friends. This was a terrific year for me in job aspects and I really want to thank to a few people whose help was very important for me in different scenarios:
My parents who gave me their love and support all the time, Thailys (for the great moments together) and her family, Pavel and his wife Daily, all of my closest friends, Microsoft folks and specially “Mr interoperability”: Simon Guest whose comments are always very helpful, Didiosky B. for his help developing the solutions for the BizTalk Developer Competition and for all the friends that remain close to me in the difficult times:
Merry Xmas.
PS: I will be back with some technical comments soon. See you.
W3C releases two nice Christmas presents
· The World Wide Web Consortium today released XML Inclusions (XInclude) Version 1.0 as a W3C Recommendation. Strengthening the XML family, XInclude provides a generic method for merging XML documents into a single composite document. It contributes to efficient content management at the enterprise level.
· The Web Services Description Working Group has released the First Public Working Draft of the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 Part 0: Primer. A companion to the WSDL 2.0 Core Language, Predefined Extensions and Bindings specifications, the Primer develops a simple example WSDL 2.0 document using a hotel reservation service use case.
In this week Alan releases the December edition of the Bloggers Guide for BizTalk Server 2004. As usual Alan did a great job in the selection of the posts.
This edition includes my comment about Contract-First approach in BizTalk Server 2004.
The Web Services Choreography Working Group has released a Last Call Working Draft of the Web Services Choreography Description Language Version 1.0 (WS-CDL).
I really think that is time that the integration platforms begin to support choreography based of some of the Standards like WS-CDL.
IBM releases 2.2 version of the Emerging Technologies toolkit which now includes eneric Manageability Library (GeMaL), WS-Resource wrapper for CIM, Semantic Web Services, DNS-EPD (EndPoint Discovery), WS-Agreement, WSDL Port Aggregator Tool, Web Services Navigator, WS-Metadata Exchange (9/04 spec version), WS-ResourceFramework 1.2, WS-Notification 1.2, and WS-Addressing (8/04 spec version).
Systinet now provides support for WebSphere MQ as part of its middleware enablement products:
Systinet, the provider of the leading foundation for SOA governance and lifecycle management, today announced the release of Systinet Server for IBM WebSphere MQ, the latest addition to the company's standards-based Web services enablement platform for Java, C/C++, and message-oriented middleware (MOM) applications.
Based on Systinet's fifth-generation Web services-enablement platform, Systinet Serverfor IBM WebSphere MQ reliably connects proprietary IBM MQ applications to any standards-based Web services endpoint at a fraction of the cost of proprietary bundles. Systinet Server for IBM WebSphere MQ adds an abstraction layer that preserves all of the functionality of the MQ application while providing unique support for important Web service standards, including WS-ReliableMessaging, WS-Eventing, WS-Addressing, and WS-Security. Customers also have the option to incorporate SOA governance and business services lifecycle management with the latest release of the Systinet Registry.
The Web Services Addressing Working Group has released three First Public Working Drafts of the “Web Service Addressing”: Core, WSDL Binding and SOAP Binding.
