JavaOne 2004 - J2EE and .NET Web Services Interoperability

This session is by the JWSDP product team. (Ramesh, )

Web Services in Java are implemented by

• JAX-RPC
• EJB 2.1

For Xml processing, Java offers

• SAX (Streaming Parser) which is not ver comfortable
• DOM - which consumes A LOT of memory
• JAXB - the logical choice Web Services in .NET
  • ASP.NET

Application Infrastructure

• Claim - ADO.NET does not support common APIs like in JDBC to support a different provider.
• No SOAP Fault bindings

Overall a pretty nice session - these guys are in benchmark engineering and they have done a great job, given that they have only *very* limited resources on Windows/.NET. Java Performance rocks!

Open Source the javax.comm API!!

To all Java gods out there: Please open source the lost child of serial control: the javax.comm API. This API is not really getting a lot of attention these days and it would be quite helpful for those who have to fiddle with RS232 interfaces if we had the source for javax.comm. I am sure the community would take good care of it...

JavaOne JavaTrain BOF Last night

Our BOF last night went well last night. We had about 35 participants, which I found to be pretty good, goven the fact that this was the dinner time JUST before the Train concert. Rags went out a couple of time to confirm that the other BOFs had fewer audience ;)

We went along with the original plan to have each of us (Rags, Bob and myself) speak to their respective area: Rags introduced us and talked about RFIDs, Bob gave an introduction to JMRI in general and I talked sbout the 'systems engineering' part of the show.

As promised yesterday in the BOF, I will continue to provide information on JavaTrain here in my blog. As a starter, here are some cool links:

JMRI Home page

Rags Blog

Here is our presentation

I will post some of our source (chages vs. the 1.4 release of JMRI) later today.

Just for the fun, here is another picture
