2 of 18426 | 25. Architect Forum - Some Thoughts about the Feedback - While the feedback for yesterday's forum was in the good average range for all architect forums (typically the architects are more critical than others;)), I really started thinking about the future of the platform and the way we are driving this platform. But, why did I start to think about it? Well, yesterday was the first forum after a very long time where I selected the topic really based on the feedback I've got from several architects and customers in the past 8-10 months - Enterprise Service Bus, which is a very concrete and not very strategic and visionary topic. But I really got that feedback from several architects, so I thought it makes sense discussing about this topic - alth......

3 of 18426 | ACM Article: Restful web services vs. big web services: making the right architectural decision - Great article on ACM regarding when to use REST vs. WS-* standards that are in wide use in SOA architectures today. Very interesting reading for those who may want to take the light-weight approach vs. using the webservice composition and discovery tools that enterprises may find in the TIBCO and IBM SOA stack. ABSTRACT Recent technology trends in the Web Services (WS) domain indicate that a solution eliminating the presumed complexity of the WS-* standards may be in sight: advocates of REpresentational State Transfer (REST) have come to believe that their ideas explaining why the World Wide Web works are just as applicable to solve enterprise application integration problems and to si......

4 of 18426 | Anybody ready for Visual Simulation - The team that brought you Flight Simulator has been working for a while to separate the core simulation engine away from the packaged product so that it can be used in other applications that require real world simulation. Out of this came Microsoft ESP. So now you can simulate any environment in the world in your app. If you are interested in finding out more about how to do these kinds of things, the Microsoft ESP team are holding two developer events, one in Orlando and one in London in early November. If you are interested, please go to the following site and get registered. The section about "Changing the World" sounds pretty neat.   Agenda Tim......

5 of 18426 | Attachments go crazy and loose their positions when item is touched by Exchange Web Services - My fellow colleague had this customer who was using Exchange Web Services to update body of an appointment item. He created a new appointment from Outlook with some body text, attachments in the body to the position where he wanted, subject & location. Appointment was saved as it should and life was good. This is how the appointment looked like. Then he decided to update the body using Exchange web services and see how it messed up everything I tried to repro it with my code but was not able to repro it and my code was updating it just fine. So I serialized the request in XML for both codes and compared them. The culprit was the Body's format and this line of code was responsi......

6 of 18426 | BUG: HasAttachments property is false on meeting occurrence with attachment - I thought it was just the last month full of bugs and fixes. This month also started with a Exchange Web Services bug.. or better Exchange Bug as Exchange Web Service is just a victim :( If you add an attachment to a single occurrence of a recurring CalendarItem, and then call GetItem with AllProperties set to retrieve that occurrence, the attachment is returned but HasAttachments property is set to false. Not only that you cannot see the attachment in the OWA, but Outlook has no problem in showing that attachment. You can reproduce the error this way...  Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE ......

9 of 18426 | Gartner Podcast: SOA Lessons Learned From the Trenches - Gartner came out with a good podcast of one of their sessions from the Gartner Enterprise Architecture Summit. It is a very informative panel discussion about "Lessons Learned From the Trenches" with SOA/Enterprise Architecture. Anyone who is an Enterprise Architect or Technology/Business Executive embracing the change and possibilities of SOA in their organization will want to give it a listen. Chances are very good you'll be vigorously nodding your head and maybe even feeling a little bit better about yourself knowing you are not alone in dealing with these problems. Much of the conversation is about how to drive SOA adoption (it appears relying on developers to browse a reposi......

10 of 18426 | IE8 and Standards - Anne van Kesteren of Opera Software has updated his post on IE 8 to cover beta 2: XDomainRequest: Microsoft unfortunately continues with XDomainRequest rather than making changes to XMLHttpRequest as other browsers are doing and as is being standardized by the W3C Web Apps Working Group. (Disclaimer: I am the editor of XMLHttpRequest Level 2.) Some agreement was made to at least support the same protocol on the server, namely using the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header as per Access Control for Cross-Site Requests. (Disclaimer: I am the editor of that draft too.) However, IE8 only supports * as value for that header, not an origin, e.g. http://annevankesteren.nl (test). Sunava pointe......

11 of 18426 | IONA and Microsoft - Recently I've been working on IONA's partnership with Microsoft. That has been keeping me very busy. Trips to Redmond, Nashville and Copenhagen for various events, and lots of other activities. IONA and Microsoft have a history. IONA has always recognized the value of Microsoft in the IT organizations of the worlds most successful corporations. Back when people were talking about COM Vs CORBA in the 90s, IONA recognized the opportunity to bridge both technologies. IONA understood that Microsoft dominated the desktop in large enterprises (OS/2 was ......

12 of 18426 | Many-to-many relationships & Object graph cycles - Suppose you have three tables in your database where one of them specifies a many-to-many relationship between the other two (example from AdventureWorks):                                                                        Suppose also that you have a method such as GetVendors(int productID) that will retrieve all the vendors for a given product through the ProductVendors table (that is , the many-to-many table). Now, if this method is exposed via a WCF service, when your client calls it you will see an exception like this one: "System.ServiceModel.CommunicationException was unhandled.

16 of 18426 | Send Cookie in HTTP Header WebRequest (ASP.NET C# Web Services) - Send Cookie in HTTP Header WebRequest Problem: You are using a third-party web service to which you are connecting with your own web service. The third-party web service is divided into two phases. Phase 1 is dependent on nothing i.e. you just pass the parameters and the web service returns the details you would like. Phase 2 though is dependent on the first. The problem is that the second phase -- apart from the method parameters -- also requests that you pass on the JSessionID value which was returned to you in Phase 1. This value must be sent in a cookie. How can this be done? Reason: When getting data from large databases it is impossible to save all possible combinations. For exa......

17 of 18426 | SharePoint vs. File Servers - The question often arises: When should you use SharePoint and when should you use a file server?  There are a lot of considerations to think about when deciding where to put various information assets – security – auditing – recycle bin requirements – usage scenarios and workflow – versioning – encryption, and last but not by any means least, asset size and bandwidth usage requirements. For example, SharePoint lists are a great way to capture and display data from your coworkers.  SharePoint is also a super tool for document repositories, especially when you need to maintain multiple versions of documents.  Large audio/video streaming media, DVD ISO files are best served wit......

23 of 18426 | Very cool feature from Microsoft Outlook Connector - Folks, I downloaded the Windows Live bundle from http://home.live.com and liked the outlook connector in there. It is pretty cool and allows one to integrate various non-corporate e-mail accounts into your outlook. This provides for a richer experience. See below. I can read my office e-mail and as well as other mail from services such as hotmail in one client, which provides a richer experience. As you can see I have my main office e-mail which is expanded and as well as my various hotmail accounts all in one place.

32 of 18426 | IONA Advances SOA - It's been an exciting month at IONA. First IONA acquired C24 and therefore strengthened both its technology in terms of data services including transformation, but also it's penetration in the financial services industry. Then this week IONA announced availability of a new product Artix™ Registry/Repository which I believe will have a major impact on how companies will view SOA governance. The C24 acquisition improves IONA's position in the financial services (FS) sector. Artix has been doing quite will in FS because of it's ability to help large F......

34 of 18426 | Last Week SOCA. This Week Catalyst - Last week I was in L.A. talking about SOA on an expert panel at SOCA 2007. It was an honor to be on the panel. I really enjoyed Prof. Wei-Tek Tsai's discussion about how the process for developing SOA has not yet being completely figured out yet. He claims there was a big shift in methodologies and processes when we went to OO and that a similar shift is needed in SOA. I mentioned some of my experience in this shift in a previous blog called Trusted Services Network. I hope to catch up with Prof. Tsai regarding this in the future. Today I've just finished my presentation on OSGi at Burton Group's Catalyst conference in San Francisco. My presentation was well ......

36 of 18426 | MassTransit: How to acheive 'Competing Consumers' - Hi Adam, How can multiple services subscribe to the same message but only have it delivered once? I am thinking of redundancy and load balancing scenarios where I have multiple clients processing messages. I think that you are referring to a competing consumer pattern. Assuming this is correct this is how I would go about solving it in MT. In masstransit, we have the concept of a control bus as being different from the 'data bus'. You can see this in the XML below <facility id="masstransit"> <bus id="server" endpoint="msmq://localhost/mt_server"> <subscriptionCache name="subscriptioncache.shared"/> <manage......

37 of 18426 | More RESTful clarity - So I talked, well actually chatted via instant-messaging, with Steve Vinoski and I do need to clear up some points from my last blog entry. Steve pointed out that RPC does NOT require synchronous communications. This is true. One can simulate the request-response of a remote procedure using asynchronous communications. But the idea is that RPC appear synchronous - like a programming language procedure that blocks. Some synchronous technology can appear asynchronous. E.g. CORBA has oneway operations. And many queue based (messaging) technologies use connection based technology underneath. E.g. Some publish subscribe technologies are actually connection based......

First let me say that I like REST. I think the architecture makes a lot of sense in many cases and I look forward to implementing my first RESTful services(s). Having said that the REST community don't do themselves many favors with the enterprise community, especially those that have been around the block several times and have built several flavors of architectures over the years. We know our architectures -we know our terminology. It seems the REST guys confuse some terms. So I'm going to target some a......

42 of 18426 | Sun SOA Dog Food? - Is this article for real? I'm not sure that if I were Sun I'd have a link to an article titled "How Sun sells its SOA dog food to its own employees" on my SOA web page. But that's where I found it. Ouch! I personally don't eat dog food. Anyway, I guess the bigger question is whether anyone else is eating this dog foo... I mean JCAPS besides Sun. And from the article it sounds like Sun had a hard time stomaching it. This article does a good job in explaining some of the difficulties that a novice can have trying to sell SOA. Ricigliano, a senior manager at Sun tries to sell SOA internally. The article says, "he quickly found that it didn't work to go into a m......

Instead, I'm writing it from my home office a day late before I head back up. Before I start I need to point out that I work with Microsoft in their partner program. I'm committed to that. Microsoft technologies and products play a big part in the enterprise and will continue to do so. It's not going away. Microsoft often have some "negative" things to say about certain products etc. of their partners so I think it's okay for me to be critical if it's constructive and can lead to better products. (Also see the disclaimer about these being my opinions and not that ......

First, this wasn't a site that I was indexing so, I couldn't rely on it picking up the fact that I was a member and automatically putting it into My SharePoint Sites list on my My Site. So let the adventure begin... First, it seemed innocent enough. If you go to the SSP that your My Site uses, there is an Admin option to configure "Published Links to Office client applications".
