Back to work: Project Kittyhawk & Project Disco

Well, back to work after the holidays; it'll be quite a busy year. Although I wish I could spend time on several projects, I'll be focusing much less on developer collaboration in Java Studio Enterprise (JSE) this year. Though I will continue in an advisory role as architect emeritus, Ayub Khan and Sheryl Su, the primary developer collaboration engineers, will be taking over.

Instead, I will spend the vast majority of my time architecting the SOA and Web Services tools for Project Kittyhawk in JSE. Internally, we call this effort Project Disco, a prototype of which we demoed at JavaOne 2004 (see screenshot). Project Disco is all about tools for creating and orchestrating component-based, enterprise, "ACDC" (asynchronous, conversational, document-centric) Web services. I'll be living and breathing Web services (not to mention a dozen or so WS-* specs) all this year, so expect to see plenty of posts on these topics, as well as updates on our progress.

Happy new year!
