  • PXE

    FiveSight has released its PXE BPEL engine as open source under a combination of the CPL and MIT License.

    BPEL stands for Business Process Execution Language, and determines how a set of services interacts as a single process.

    The release includes side-by-side support for both BPEL4WS 1.1 and an early version of WS-BPEL 2.0. It also has JMX-based administration and management, pluggable persistence, a microkernel-style runtime suitable for standalone operation or embedding within an application server, connected debugging, and a set of commandline tools and Ant tasks for most common operations.

  • jBPM

    Jboss has released jBPM 3.0, a workflow and BPM engine that enables the creation of business processes that coordinate between people, applications and services. With its modular architecture, JBoss jBPM combines development of workflow applications with a process engine. The JBoss jBPM process designer graphically represents the business process steps in order to facilitate a strong link between the business analyst and the technical developer.

    JBoss jBPM includes the following components: Runtime engine as a POJO library, a graphical desiger as an Eclipse plugin, persistence based on hibernate, a web console in JSF, a BPEL extension for orchestration, scheduler for timers, business calendar, and more.

  • JBI

  • Systinet

    Today Systinet releases Systinet Registry 6.0 and Systinet Policy Manager and announces new platform codenamed “Blizzard”, allowing users to create a "blueprint of their SOA".

  • Using XMLA with BizTalk Server 2004.

    I have been very busy in the past three weeks working for my Teched presentation. This was my first Teched experience and was fantastic. Then I decided to start blogging about the different topics of my session. Basically my session covers some of the most interesting topics to integrate BizTalk Server 2004 and SQL Server 2005. We presented a BizTalk adapter for SQL Server Service Broker a couple of SQL Servre Integration Services custom tasks to interact with BizTalk and a cool demo about how to use XMLA to query some BizTalk OLAP cubes.  I have plans to write a couple of article that covers the most relevant parts of my session. Anyway, the last part of my talk was around XML for Analysis (XMLA) and BizTalk Server 2004.

  • Teched 2005

    I am this week at Teched 2005 doing a lot of cool stuff. Today at 3 pm I will be speaking with Javier Mariscal (TwoConnect president) about interaction points between SQL Server 2005 and BizTalk Server 2004. As part of this session you can see a prototype of a Service Broker Adapter, SSIS custom tasks to execute Business Rules and BizTalk Orchestrations and how to use XMLA to query BAM databases. We also will address other interesting areas around this topic. I hope to see you there.
