SOA Tutorials

2009-11-05T02:46:00.001-08:00

SOA fundamentals in a nutshell Thinking about getting certified in Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA)? Want to catch the wave of interest in SOA? Take this tutorial to prepare for the IBM SOA fundamentals test leading to your certification as an IBM Certified SOA Associate. Even if you're not planning for certification right now, this tutorial is a good place to start learning about what SOA is and what it can do for your organization. Design and develop JAX-WS 2.0 Web services Using Java API for XML Web Services (JAX-WS) technology to design and develop Web services yields many benefits, including simplifying the construction of Web services and Web service clients in Java, easing the development and deployment of Web services, and speeding up Web services development. This tutorial walks you through how to do all of this and more by developing a sample order-processing application that exposes its functionality as Web services. After going through this tutorial, you'll be able to apply these concepts and your newly acquired knowledge to develop Web services for your application using JAX-WS technology. Understanding Web Services specifications, Part 1: SOAP The current emphasis on Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) has put the spotlight on Web services, but it's easy to get lost in all the information being bandied about. This first in a series of tutorials on the major Web services specifications describes the basic concepts of Web services and SOAP. You'll learn how to build a SOAP server and client. Build Web services with transport-level security using Rational Application Developer V7, Part 1 Build secure Web services with transport-level security using IBM® Rational® Application Developer V7 and IBM WebSphere® Application Server V6.1. Follow this three-part series for step-by-step instructions about how to develop Web services and clients, configure HTTP basic authentication, and configure HTTP over SSL (HTTPS). This first part of the series walks you through building a Web service for a simple calculator application. You generate and test two different types of Web services clients: a Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) client and a stand-alone Java client. You also handle user-defined exceptions in Web services. IBM Certified SOA Solution Designer certification prep, Part 1: SOA best practices Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the next step in software development, leveraging XML technologies and Web services that went before. This best practices tutorial teaches you how to use SOA techniques in system design effectively. Use this tutorial, along with the other educational resources listed below, to help prepare for IBM Certified SOA Solution Designer certification. Build HTTPS Web services with Rational Application Developer, Part 1: Web services and Web services clients Build secure Web services using transport-level security (HTTPS) with IBM Rational Application Developer Version 6.0.1.1 and later. In Part 1 of this series, you will build Web services for a calculator application. You will generate and test two different types of Web services clients: a J2EE client and a J2SE client. Understanding Web Services specifications, Part 4: WS-Security This tutorial, Part 4 of the Understanding Web services specifications series, explains the concepts behind WS-Security and related standards such as XML Signature, which combine to make security in the Web services world not just possible, but practical. Build HTTPS Web services with Rational Application Developer, Part 2: Configure HTTPS Web services In Part 2 of this series, we configure HTTPS for a Web services application. We create a self-signed certificate using iKeyman and configure SSL settings using IBM WebSphere Admin Console. Finally, we test HTTPS Web services from both a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) and Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) client. Build Web services with transport-level security using Rational Application Developer V7, Part 2 Part 1 of this tutorial series gave you step-by-step instructions for building a Web service for a simple calculator application. You generated Web services and tested two different types of Web services clients—a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) client and a stand-alone Java client—and handled user-defined exceptions in Web services. This second installment in the three-part series shows you how to configure HTTP basic authentication for your Web services and Web services client, and monitor the HTTP basic authentication information using the TCP/IP monitor. Build Web services with transport-level security using Rational Application Developer V7, Part 3 Part 1 and Part 2 of this three-part tutorial series showed you how to develop Web services and clients, and configure HTTP basic authentication. In this final installment, you create a self-signed certificate, key store, trust store, and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) configuration using the IBM WebSphere Administrative Console. Then you configure HTTPS for your Web services and Web services client, and test HTTPS Web services from both a Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) client and a stand-alone Java client.

Michael Jackson-The bitter truth behind success

2009-07-01T02:41:00.000-07:00

MJ is a great talented artist, his demise is really a tragic news to many fans. There are People who like him and people who dislikes him... Everyone has expressed their views on MJ and I think I am right person to write about MJ...

However the recent articles about is autopsy and medical reports made me think that behind this successful person how much pain was there...

Recent reports that MJ was surviving on medicines and not taking any food...I think this is a horrifying fact...

Is is the dark face of being successful...and hardship in trying to maintain your success...

or Do you call this a Success?

One of the dictionary defination of Success is "An event that accomplishes its intended purpose"

Another defination states "A state of prosperity or fame"

I think there is a huge difference is both the defination... First want states that success is any accomplishment like: You achieve a target profit in business, this achievement is success.

Another defination means that you have achieved success in whatever field/target you have now you are famous and prosperious and you maintain a state that is called a Success like: MJ achieved success in his dancing and singing skills....upon this achievement he become a success cult.

But how far do we go with our success and what is the purpose of getting success as per first defination and being success according to second defination...

While the first defination gives you a purpose to do something to achieve success...the second defination makes you do things that you think others wants from you to do...

In other words the second defination of success tries to control your life and try to make you feel insecure...wants you to stay young...wants you to do things what your fan want....

I am not saying that every successful people are devasted by above defination...what I meant to say here is that it is easily possible to ride the Success Wagon but it also needs to be skillfully driven...and this depends on the person who is riding the success wagon...

The thing is everyone in this world wants to be successful person...some are successful...some pass their life desiring to be successful...others dont express they want to be successful...

But the major reason one wants to be successful is to get whatever best is available in this world...the best food, the best vacation., the best car, a yatch and other dreams... Do you think it is worth if you are successful but cannot eat food and depend on few medicines to live...or you visit various places yet you cannot enjoy the beauty of that place alone...

As said in Spiderman Movie "Every success brings a great responsibility" but we are still human and there are always chance of being little irresponsible successfully to enjoy your personal life this world...but then we should be careful enough to not get more irresponsible that will hurt our self....taking care of own health is also a responsibility...but damaging your self to look great is a irresponsible behavior...

May soul of MJ be in peace...
