IBM (NYSE: IBM) has
released details of
asignificant project with
EBS Building Society, one
of Ireland's
largestbuilding
societies. The agreement,
part of EBS' IT upgrade
strategy, is toenhance
its business flexibility
by implementing a Service
OrientatedArchitecture
(SOA) which will enable
the company to connect
seamlesslyonline with

This article shows you
how to connect non-SOAP
HTTP service requesters
and providers to the IBM
WebSphere Application
Server V6 Service
Integration Bus. This
lets requesters and
providers leverage the
integration capabilities
of an enterprise service
bus.
Most WebSphere
Application Server (WAS)
for z/OS customers use
DB2 for z/OS as the
backend or data store.
DB2 for z/OS is a
high-performance DBMS,
with a strong reputation
for handling high-volume
data access transactions.
Picking the right WAS for
z/OS and DB2 Subsystem
connectivity architecture
can greatly improve the
system's performance,
availability,
scalability, security,
and transactional
capability.
This article describes
how the Open Source tool
OpenSTA facilitated the
system integration
testing of a middleware
solution based on IBM
WebSphere Application
Server and the Websphere
Branch Transformation
Toolkit (BTT).
Once upon a time if a
development team wanted
to implement memory
caching, the developers
had to code a Java
Singleton class and
maintain key value pairs
using the Java API's
hashtable in memory.
WebSphere Application
Server (WAS) for z/OS is
IBM's z/OS implementation
of the J2EE server
design. To build robust
and efficient WAS
environments on z/OS, you
must determine the
topologies that address
your needs. Since WAS for
z/OS is middleware, the
topologies can become
quite complex and require
forethought.
Considerations should be
given to scalability,
availability, and factors
such as security,
performance, and
administration.
WebSphere Application
Server for z/OS is a
comprehensive and
sophisticated J2EE
application server
platform. It integrates
with the IBM's zSeries
portfolio of hardware and
z/OS software assets and
exploits the qualities of
service of the platform
such as close proximity
to data, intense
scalability, continuous
availability, failover
support, and stalwart
security.
