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 [...]

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 [...]

Because of the issues related to multiple mappings of Java objects to tables
and vice versa, it is best to use JDBC with Java application servers when the
data being mapped is quite simple. For example, JDBC would be an excellent way
to look up simple account information based on an account number. There would be
little mapping of data needed in this case.
If your data mapping is complex, however, you should look at either JDO

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...
