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.
A Web application runs within a Web container of a Web server. The Web
container provides the runtime environment through components that provide
naming context and life cycle management. Some Web servers may also provide
additional services such as security and concurrency control. A Web server may
work with an EJB server to provide some of those services. A Web server,
however, does not need to be located on the same machine as an EJB server.
Web applications are composed of web components and other data such as HTML pages.
Web components can be servlets, JSP pages created with the JavaServer Pages™
technology, web filters, and web event listeners. These components typically execute in a web server and may respond to HTTP requests from web clients. Servlets, JSP
pages, and filters may be used to generate HTML pages that are an
application’s user interface. They may also be used to generate XML or other format
data that is consumed by other application components.
There are nearly 400 pages of articles on this site with over 20 pages on application servers.

JBoss in Action: Configuring the JBoss Application Server by Javid Jamae, Peter Johnson Average Customer Review: based on 6 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...
Internetworking with TCP/IP, Vol. III: Client-Server Programming and Applications, Linux/Posix Sockets Version by Douglas E. Comer, David L. Stevens Average Customer Review: based on 2 reviews.
