- Securing a BPEL in WebSphere Integration Developer 7 difference over WebSphere Integration 6 (Jan 27, 2012)
Today we look at how to add a role-based security to secure a BPEL.
In WebSphere Integration Developer(WID) 6 there was no direct way to add a role to a BPEL at assembly level.
In WID 7 we can assign a role to the whole BPEL this could not be done in WID 6. It makes security much easier.
All you have to do is open your assembly diagram as in our example project below:

missed a big issue with the setup. Everything works fine up to the point
when you start introducing enhanced features to your entities. To name
but a few: lazy loading, change tracking, fetch groups and so on. JPA
providers like to call this "enhancing" and it...... (read more)

- Persistance Options with Redis (Jan 27, 2012)
Most people thinking of Redis, think of it is an in-memory
datastore. This is totally true. However, there is a lot of
misconception with the ?in memory? part; as being if my redis server
crashes I lose all of my data. This part is most definitely not
true. Redis persists your data to disk and provides you with all of the
knobs you are going to need to need to fine tune how often you?d...... (read more)
- Removing the Need for a Menu Button on Android (Jan 27, 2012)
To many, the inclusion of a menu button on Android phones is a bit messy. After all, the usability of iOS devices is spot on without this function. It makes me happy to see that Google is encouraging people to move away from using the menu button as more devices more to Ice Cream Sandwich, and to use the action bar instead. In the blog post,Tim Bray summarises by saying:

This person was aware of Spring and Guice, and was told that he was to create his own instead of using a third party library. This is nuts.... (read more)

- Judge Blocks Oracle?s Appeal in SAP Case (Jan 15, 2012)
Oracle can?t appeal the judge?s decision to cut the $1.3 billion jury award in its suit against SAP to a mere $272 million unless it rejects the $272 million, the judge told Oracle last Friday. Oracle is trying to avoid the other option the judge gave it, which is a new trial. If Oracle rejects the $272 million, there would be a new trial and then it could appeal the judge?s decision. The judge contends Oracle only proved actual damages of $272 million when SAP?s now defunct TomorrowNow... (read more)
