Implementing J2EE/.NET Interoperability Using WebSphere MQ Part 2 - Putting theory into practice

Mon, 24 Nov 2003 00:00:00 EST

In Part 1 of this series, we discussed how the use of messaging software can alleviate some of the problems with integration of J2EE and .NET environments using Web services. In this article we will discuss implementation of the proposed architecture on both J2EE and .NET platforms, along with possible enhancements of the proposed solution.

Implementing J2EE-.NET Interoperability Using WebSphere MQ

Thu, 23 Oct 2003 00:00:00 EDT

It is today's reality that most companies are using both J2EE and .NET environments for their software implementation. Until recently, the prevalent solution for integration of these two environments has been HTTP-based Web services.

Web Services Invocation Framework, part 2

Wed, 23 Jul 2003 00:00:00 EDT

The Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) is an architecture and programming model that - unlike today's most popular Web services APIs, JAX-RPC and JAXM - supports RPC and messaging invocation of Web services in a single programming model.

Web Services Invocation Framework

Thu, 12 Jun 2003 00:00:00 EDT

Today's most popular Web services APIs - JAX-RPC and JAXM - support two very different programming models for invocation of Web services, one synchronous, one asynchronous. If users need both models in a single application, they are forced to use two sets of very different APIs. This article, the first of a two-part series, describes an architecture and programming model - the Web Services Invocation Framework (WSIF) - that provides a single set of APIs that supports both models.

The Key to Superior EJB Design

Tue, 01 Jan 2002 00:00:00 EST

Over the past several years EJB technology has entered the software development mainstream. This new level of recognition and greater popularity brings an increase in design activities in the EJB space, such as best practices and design patterns.

Web Services and Distributed Component Platforms (Part 2)

Mon, 03 Dec 2001 00:00:00 EST

As we can see from the tables, Web services measure up quite nicely with other distributed systems environments. The main differentiating characteristics are: Web services, unlike other distributed systems, support only remote communications, they don't support colocated services. Web services are implemented over HTTP, which is a connectionless protocol. Therefore, some important features of distributed systems are not applicable for Web services.

Web Services and Distributed Component Platforms, Part 1

Sun, 21 Oct 2001 00:00:00 EDT

With the widespread use of component technology, it has become increasingly important to employ components in distributed computing environments. Currently, a handful of distributed component platforms exists, including the Distributed Component Object Model (DCOM), Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA), and Remote Method Invocation (RMI).

XML and Distributed Computing

Tue, 10 Apr 2001 00:00:00 EDT

There are three big challenges when implementing distributed computing systems: data transfer, interface management, and remote invocation. This article examines how XML can help with each of these, and how XML-based semantic messaging can unify disparate distributed architectures.
