[See intro notes to my first post for what’s going on here<\/a>.]<\/p>\n

These notes are a little more spotty than the rest. There was a lot of side “fact\/clarification” discussion, and The Afternoon Coffee Tragedy<\/a> probably sapped some of my focus.<\/p>\n

Presented by Blake Connell.<\/p>\n

Only vendor focuses on Application Infrastructure. App independent. Not taking lots of software, “composting it together,” and selling that.<\/p>\n

WLS 9<\/h2>\n

Hot-swap…fail-over and caching…OSS expanding pool of talent…”entirely new WLS console…better UI…new scripting tool.”…performance!<\/p>\n

High Availability Features. “Reject and reroute work when thresholds are crossed.” Prevent system configuration changes from requiring restart.<\/p>\n

Diagnostic Subsystem: image capture, request dyeing, watch & notification, instrumentation.<\/p>\n

Jython WebLogic Scripting Tools.<\/p>\n

JMS\/JDBC – resource configuration deployable like applications…application scoped resources and dependencies…packaging configuration…<\/p>\n

Performance<\/p>\n

SPECjAppServer benchmarks: WLS is the dominant winner.<\/p>\n

WLS 9.2<\/h2>\n

Rolling server upgrades: updates cluster in round-robin style.<\/p>\n

Hot Swap: side-by-side deployment. Supports RMI in addtion to http entry points (rich clients & JSPs).<\/p>\n

All my WLSs: SIP, RFID, Real Time (with JRocket “near real time performance”), Mobility Server, (Coming soon), OEM’ing BlueDragon (New Atlanta) WLS Edition (runs ColdFusion) on WLS 9.x without rewrite.<\/p>\n

[Everyone is good at saying “JEE” instead of “J2<\/b>EE”…]<\/p>\n

Grid computing stuff is for 10, or whatever the version is. Not in this calendar year.<\/p>\n

Q: about BlueDragon. A: ColdFusion is in a lot of our accounts. New Atlanta has some good cases with Credit Sussie, airline, financial.<\/p>\n

Tools!<\/h2>\n

License cost is low, dev cost high. Blended approach. “Eclipse is the new basis for our tools. We’re moving towards an all Eclipse toolset.”<\/p>\n

Q: about app life-cycle across AquaLogic, WLS Workshop…governance…the standard waterfall junk across all your “create the software\/service” stuff. [Interesting that I’d say “waterfall junk”…]<\/p>\n

A: there isn’t really a spanning layer on-top if it. There’s lots of data out there, but no dashboard, as it were. [Of course, this is where their portal (from previous breakout) could shine: it’d be a great reference impl and<\/i> sellable product\/use of a the portal info-aggregation.]<\/p>\n

Integration Tools<\/h2>\n

Plugins for OSS stuff, e.g., Tomcat, Spring, BeeHive…not<\/i> with Oracle, newer WebSphere (said it works with WebSphere 6), Netweaver.<\/p>\n

WSRP to export UI from one portal\/server to another.<\/p>\n

Groupspace<\/h2>\n

Collab stuff out of the box…some RSS mention!<\/p>\n

[Speed through some slides for time…]<\/p>\n

Integration Enhancements<\/h2>\n

BPEL, import UML modeling environment, Java 5.0 annotations.<\/p>\n

“Anne” says that since they didn’t extend BPEL, it’s useless, cause BPEL sucks.<\/p>\n

Drag-and-drop configuration for work list.<\/p>\n

JRocket<\/h2>\n

mgmt console stuff…<\/p>\n

Tuxedo 9.0<\/h2>\n

“Tying web browser into Tuxedo,” “Connector from Tuxedo to WLS,” “Native web services support..’SALT'”<\/p>\n
