There is an interesting developerWorks article which looks at some advanced aspects of using XSLT with WebSphere ESB, particularly focusing on mapping element arrays in business objects.

October 19th, 2006Message Broker nodes for Service Registry and Repository
October 19th, 2006Yesterday saw the publication of a developerWorks article describing the SRRetrieveITService and SRRetrieveEntity WebSphere Message Broker nodes provided in IA9L SupportPac for integration with WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. The first of these nodes retrieves a service endpoint based on a specified port type. The example shows how this can be used with the HTTP input node to dynamically locate and invoke a service. The second node can be used to retrieve the metadata for an arbitrary entity stored in the Registry and Repository. This could be used, for example, to retrieve policy data relating to the service to be invoked.
developerWorks deluge
October 18th, 2006I’ve only just got round to reading last week’s developerWorks newsletter and it contains a positive plethora of interesting articles following the SOA launch.
Commuter camaraderie
October 18th, 2006Well, I did find a parking space at the station this morning (just) but getting a space on the train was to prove more difficult. The previous train had broken down at Southampton Central so mine was packed to the rafters. I did just make it in the door but it was standing room only. In the face of such adversity it’s amazing how fellow commuters who must travel together day-in day-out without saying so much as a word to one another, suddenly come alive with jovial conversation. Subject matter ranged from the state of popular TV to eBay experiences and trampolines! Sadly, come the train home this evening, everyone has slipped back in to weary traveller mode with the ability to block out everyone and everything in their vicinity.
Southampton Airport No Way Park
October 17th, 2006Something has obviously possesed the good folk of Southampton to decamp to London for the day as, having arrived at Southampton Airport Parkway at the usual time this morning, the forty or so empty parking spaces I’d usually expect to find were all full. I set off in search of alternatives but the University Playing Fields have their barriers up at that time of the morning, the entrance to Lakeside Country Park now has a time limit of four hours, and the nearest parts of Eastleigh all have permit parking only. Consequently I missed my train and I’m going to have to fork out another £15 or so for the pleasure of parking at the airport. All of which leaves me wondering precisely what the monthly parking ticket I have for the station actually gets me. Where else does buying a ticket not guarantee you a space? Oh yes – on the train!
Missing messages
October 16th, 2006Responding to Srinivas’ comment requesting more on debugging, I thought I’d post on one common question when using the service integration bus: where has my message gone? By this I mean the case when a message has been sent but not received by the consumer.

October 15th, 2006WebSphere MQ Servers
October 12th, 2006The final major piece of functionality that I shall cover in this series of posts looking at deliverables made by Hursley in to WebSphere Application Version 6.1 is WebSphere MQ Servers. In Version 6.0 of the Application Server, WebSphere MQ could either be accessed directly from an application using the WebSphere MQ JMS provider or via the service integration bus by using a foreign bus and WebSphere MQ link. In Version 6.1, it is possible to add a WebSphere MQ queue manager, running on z/OS and at Version 6 (CSD 1 or greater), directly as a member of the bus.
