The first article in a series on Mashups Styles has just been released,

The article "Mashup Styles, Part 1: Server-Side Mashups" focuses on the server-side proxy style of mashup, where the client, usually a browser, communicates to a server-side proxy component that then communicates to the mashup service.  The response from the mashup service is returned to the server-side proxy, which can be validated and/or cached for better performance.  Once this server-side proxy component has performed its function, the response is then sent back to the client.  This type of mashup helps work around the domain of origin security constraint that the XMLHttpRequest has and mitigates the risk of using a client-side mashup facilitated by creating dynamic script tags in the web pages using a scripting language.

The BluePrints Java Pet Store 2.0 reference application is used as an example and the source code can be downloaded for the user to take a closer look at the code. 

If you want all the BluePrints source in a convenient development environment with ant scripts to facilitate the deployment and modification of the code, you can download the Java EE 5 SDK now and be up and running very quickly.

Hope this helps...

Thanks - Mark
