Gestalt's Chad Gallemore has blogged about creating a Binding Component Deployment plug-in for NetBeans...

My co-workers Prabhu Balashanmugam, Kevin Schmidt, and yours truly had an article published in the March 2007 issue of Java Developers' Journal entitled Deliver Composite Applications with Java, WS-BPEL & SOA - Supporting the complete lifecycle. Tuesday morning I walked into the office after the Memorial Day weekend, and I find this issue dropped on my chair by Kevin. Too bad Prabhu and me found our photos swapped ...

For long-running, conversational, peer-to-peer collaborations, where there is an asynchronous lag between a request and a response with shared state use multiple Message Exchange Patterns (MEPs) with correlations ...

Eviware's Ole Matzura has created a series of videos demonstrating how SoapUI can be used to test Open ESB and JAX-WS deployments using SoapUI, NetBeans 6.0 (M9), Open ESB 2.0, and GlassFish.

Prefer ‘document’ encoding and ‘literal’ use over other types for interoperability - Here's why ...

If you did like my article, or you love project Open ESB, or Project GlassFish, or NetBeans, please do vote for these.  If you would like to see any enhancements to these projects, please tell us how we could improve it. Better still, since these are open-source projects, please get involved and influence the direction of these open source projects. We from the open-source community will forever value your invaluable inputs and contributions to make these projects the best ones in their respective categories on the planet ...

This approach forces the designer to focus on messages and contracts as the key concepts in designing a service contract ...

Think of the Collaboration as an entity that relentlessly pushes forward - it may change but it never ‘goes back’ to a previous state ...

Often the business response is not available quick enough to place the acknowledgment into the response ...

Message Exchange Patterns (MEPs) are the units of 'wire' collaboration and are the basic building-blocks  ...

Share conversational state on the wire using self-defined correlations in the message ...

Identify element(s) in the message that can serve as a shared state-holder ...

The conversation is a new computing context that you will have to think about and handle in wire design ...

Do not place information that you will need to reuse to process a collaboration in the Message header ...

Explicitly add a version number attribute to the first element of both the request and the response message...

Use multi-part MIME to physically carry the message so at any point, you don’t have to parse the entire message at once...
