Well, not the timeliest blog ever, but I did want to mention to folks if they hadn’t heard yet that the SCA architecture established by the OSOA organization has been accepted by OASIS for standardization and technical communities within the Open Composite Services Architecture Member Section as documented here . This is the result of a lot of effort from my colleagues from IBM as well as contributors from the many vendors that comprise the OSOA organization. I look forward to the enrichment of a standards process to refining this technology into the valuable, open, multilingual SOA architecture we envisioned several years ago. Great progress!! and evidence that while this technology is not rolling out as fast as some of us would like, the value proposition and promise remains strong.

The 6.1 versions WebSphere Process Server, Enterprise Service Bus, and Integration Developer are available for download from passport advantage. I personally have used the 6.1 version for both our internal SOA benchmarks and a recent ESB project. I can attest for major functional improvements -- I wouldn’t use anything less than 6.1 for ESB projects. Also, since this moved the underlying application server to WebSphere Application Server 6.1 and Java 1.5, there are some major performanc...

The wonders of modern hardwareFrom: webspherecommunity.blogspot.com

I was at an IBM conference a couple of weeks ago, where some new hardware ideas were being presented. Perhaps it’s my engineering background, but there’s something very cool about building things you can hold in your hand - and when you combine that with the latest new technological ideas (multicore, etc), it’s very impressive. In that light, I’m happy to share a video that I saw recently. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=5125780462773187994 Tim Fran...

I have not posted to this blog for a while, and I can now explain why. Today, at the WebSphere Technical Conference in Vienna, we announced the upcoming availability of an open beta for the next major version of Rational Application Developer (RAD 7.5). Those of you who’ve read my previous posts (hi Mom!) will not be surprised by the themes we’re focusing on for RAD 7.5; better support for the complete application development lifecycle, including refactoring ope...
