Deployment of Reports with BIRT
by
John Ward | January 2009 | Java Open Source
Deployment answers the need to have the generated reports reach the relevant user.In this article by John Ward, we are going to look at two different Deployment options available. We will look at the BIRT Viewer for J2EE that comes with the BIRT Runtime and is embedded into the BIRT Eclipse IDE, and we are also going to look at a basic Java application that implements the Report Engine API to run reports. We will also cover the command-line tools that come with the BIRT Runtime for executing reports.

Java Data Objects and Service Data Objects in SOA

Binildas A. Christudas Malhar Barai Vincenzo Caselli | January 2009 | Java
Every enterprise user is interested in information and every information starts from the basic building block, data. Data can reside in any data store, and can exist in many formats. Irrespective of that, you need to bring data to your table, do some massaging with your business use cases, and supply them as information. In this article by Vincenzo Caselli, Binildas A. Christudas, and Malhar Barai, we will see how Java Data Objects (JDO) can be used as an alternative to JDBC. We will also have a look at the Service Data Objects (SDO) in SOA.

Integration has been an area for specialists for years, since no standards exist across vendor products. This increases the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) to implement and maintain any integration solution. Even though integration is a necessary evil, CIOs and IT managers postpone decisions and actions, and sometimes go for ad-hoc or temporary solutions. Any such activity will complicate the already confused stove pipes and it is the need of the hour to have standardization. Here we are going to inspect the need of another standard for business integration, and also look into the details of what this standard is all about.
In this article by Binildas C. A, we will look at:
- Service oriented architecture in the context of integration
- Relationship between web services and SOA
- Service oriented integration
- J2EE, JCA, and JBI—how they relate
- Introduction to JBI
- JBI Nomenclature—main components in JBI

In Part 1, we saw that JBI is a great enabler for SOA because it defines ESB architecture. It provides for loosely coupled integration by separating out the providers and consumers to mediate through the bus.In this part of the article by Binildas C. A, we will look at the Provider—Consumer Contract and Message Exchange Patterns. We will also consider the different options provided.
