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 [...]

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 [...]

The Design Decomposition Blog is written by Doug Barry.
This example uses the ODMG Java Binding and the ODMG Object Query Language (OQL).
Other query languages for object databases would be similar. Notice that all the
code is Java, with the exception of the query string. You will not find a
database sub-language in this example. The part in blue relates to the animation of transparent
persistence (new window). More
information on the ODMG specification (new
window). Note that the same code would used for object-relational
mapping products (new window).
Transparent persistent interfaces work with both object database or
object-relational mapping products.
import org.odmg.*;
import java.util.Collection;
Implementation impl = new com.vendor.odmg.Implementation();
Database db = impl.newDatabase();
Transaction txn = impl.newTransaction();
// perform query
OQLQuery query = new OQLQuery(
"select x from Person x where x.name = \"Doug Barry\"");
Collection result = (Collection) query.execute();
Iterator iter = result.iterator();
// iterate over the results
while ( iter.hasNext() )
{
Person person = (Person) iter.next();
// do some addition processing on the person (not shown)
// now traverse to the address object and update its value
person.address.street = "13504 4th Avenue South";
}
