Salesforce is now JAX-WS enabled!

29,800 customers and 646,000 subscribers of salesforce.com - they can now use fast and furious JAX-WS tools and runtime to access and interact with their applications programmatically. The JAX-WS team at Sun has worked closely with Salesforce team to create QuickStart, Enterprise and Partners (to be hosted soon) bundles using JAX-WS 2.1.1. Each bundle is

  • Self-contained, with all pre-generated client-side artifacts and JAX-WS libraries required to invoke a standard (quickstart, enterprise and partner) WSDL
  • Scripts to invoke the endpoint in the main directory
  • Instructions (in etc directory) on how to re-generate your artifacts if you have a custom WSDL using
    • Scripts in the bin directory
    • A template build.xml (in etc directory) for Ant scripts

salesforce.com processes more API transactions than it does Web browser / UI requests and JAX-WS bundles are very well equipped to handle that. This is the same JAX-WS that is also available in GlassFish v2.

Use these bundles and let us know your feedback.

Team Hoyt - Highly Motivational

216 Triathlons, 6 Ironman (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike and 26.2 mile run in succession), 20 Duathlons, 65 Marathons, 25 Boston Marathons and many more races. 2:40:47 PR on Marathon and 1:21:12 PR on Half Marathon and many more records. This is Team Hoyt - a father-and-son (Dick and Rick) team from Massachusetts who together compete just about continuously in marathon races.

This, by all standards, is extreme perseverance. And all the more so because Rick Hoyt was born disabled and suffers from cerebral palsy. Dick carries him in a special seat up front as they bike, pulls him in a special boat as they swim, and pushes him in a special wheelchair as they run. And Dick learned swimming and rode bike for the first time after he was 6 years old. All this because Rick, at the age of 13, mentioned he didn't feel handicapped when they jointly participated in a local 5-mile benefit run.

Read their highly motivating and encouraging story.

Week 13 Mileage

Mon: 5 miles
Tue: JavaOne
Wed: JavaOne
Thu: JavaOne
Fri: JavaOne
Sat: 17 miles
Sun: Rest

With 10 more weeks remaining, finally started getting into long runs. And it was a perfect weekend to start because I could not run pretty much the entire week because of JavaOne. And I think it was not a bad start, but the runs are going to get longer.

Here are the good reads of this time ...

  • Fluids 101 - As the weather heats, proper hydration is the key.
  • What's your mantra ? - A word of encourage can add snap to your stride, even if it comes from within.
  • 101 reasons to run - Have you lost your motivation ? 101 reasons to help you out the door.
