You might have seen the recent news reports about the collision between U.S. and Russian communication satellites. The U.S. satellite was one of the Iridium satellites. What wasn’t reported and you probably don’t know is that an object database management system (ODBMS) is an important part of the Iridium system. Even though ODBMSs are a [...]

I am now also posting on the Cutter Blog. My initial posting is (The Acronym) SOA is (Perhaps) Dead (at Some Companies); Long Live Services. It is a response to Anne Thomas Manes’ SOA is Dead; Long Live Services on her blog at the Burton Group.

The typical definition of an atomic task or process is one that cannot be decomposed further. This is vague and subject to interpretation. The Decomposition Matrix on this site uses a specific definition: A task (for business process diagrams) or a process (for data flow diagrams) is atomic if every input relates to every output [...]

My last posting referenced the criteria for a well-formed business process diagram mentioned in Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. I am going to expand on their criteria to create a more comprehensive definition of a well-formed business process diagram.
To start, here are three criteria from [...]

I recently received two new books on business process modeling. Both books looked interesting because they had great titles. As it turns out, one book is great and the other not so good.
The not so good book is Business Process Driven SOA using BPMN and BPEL by Matjaz B. Juric and Kapil Pant. There are [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
The EJB server provides an environment that supports the execution of applications developed
using Enterprise JavaBeans™ (EJB) components. It manages and coordinates the allocation of resources to the applications.
Enterprise beans typically contain the business logic for a J2EE application.
The EJB server must provide one or more EJB containers. An EJB container manages the enterprise beans contained within it. For each enterprise bean, the container is responsible for registering the object, providing a remote interface for the object, creating and destroying object instances, checking security for the object, managing the active state for the object, and coordinating distributed transactions. Optionally, the container can also manage all persistent data within the object.
Enterprise JavaBeans technology supports both transient and persistent objects. A transient object is called a session bean, and a persistent object is called an entity bean.
A session bean exists only for the duration of a single client/server session. A session bean performs operations such as accessing a database or performing calculations. Session beans can be transactional, but
normally are not recoverable following a system crash. Session beans can be stateless, or they can maintain conversational state across methods and transactions. A session bean must manage its own persistent data. More on session object
persistence (new window).
An entity bean is an object representation of persistent data maintained in a permanent data store, such as a database.
An entity object can manage its own persistence, or it can delegate its persistence to its container.

JBoss in Action: Configuring the JBoss Application Server by Javid Jamae, Peter Johnson Average Customer Review: based on 4 reviews. Customer Review: I bought this book about 6 months ago to prepare for a projected move to the JBoss AS from Websphere. As with most technical books I read as much as I needed for the tasks at hand. My project seems to be cancelled, so I may not go back to this book, but I'd like to leave this review. I believe this is the only book targeted at JBoss ...
WebSphere Application Server Administration Using Jython by Robert A. Gibson, Arthur Kevin McGrath, Noel J. Bergman Average Customer Review: based on 4 reviews. Customer Review: I was introduced to this book during a Jython class taught by Keven McGrath. He kept referring to the book in the classroom, and bringing up sample pages for examples. I was favorably impressed during the class, and even more so when the book finally arrived. They take a very important subset of Jython code for WebSphere and give con...

Customer Review: Decided to buy the MOC (MS Official Curriculum) for this test. Didn't find it worth the money. Seemed to be a longer read than the Sybex books (although didn't use the Sybex book for this exam so I can't say how it would compare). Text was well written and easy to understand. It was written for a newbie to network admin role. I was up...
