This first article explains where the dragonslayers have been, and where they plan to go from here.
Part 2: Migrating the development environment to WebSphere Studio Application Developer
February, 2003
See how the dragonslayers plan to ease the migration of the Go-ForIt application from WebSphere® Application Server Version 3.5 and VisualAge for Java™ to WebSphere Application Server Version 5, WebSphere Studio, and J2EE 1.3.
Part 3: Porting the application to WebSphere Portal
April, 2003
The dragonslayers describe converting an existing J2EE project and move parts of it onto a portal server -- from an architectural perspective. This article covers portal basics, and discusses the application integration, multi-device support, user registration, and personalization features of WebSphere Portal Server.
Part 4: Expanding the reach of Go-ForIt with Web services
June, 2003
In this article, the dragonslayers discuss how to develop Web services in the Go-ForIt B2C application using IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer (Application Developer). The authors cover the enablement points to generate Web services, and describe the development of Web services from beans.
Part 5: How portlets extend Go-ForIt's Web services
July, 2003
Learn how to develop portlets by accessing the Web services in Go-ForIt. The dragonslayers discuss the architecture and design of the portlets from existing JavaServer Pages (JSP) components, command beans, and Web services in the Go-ForIt B2C application.
Part 6, Tutorial: Create persistent application data with Java Data Objects
July, 2003
David Carew shows how the dragonslayers developed Java Data Objects (JDO) that are persisted in DB2® Express using WebSphere Studio Application Developer and TJDO, an open source implementation of the JDO Specification.
Part 7: Go-ForIt performance and capacity
August, 2003
Marlon Machado introduces the dragonslayer methodology for performance and capacity benchmarking, a tried-and-true, field-tested performance tuning methodology.
Part 8: Adding instant messaging to improve customer service
September, 2003
Margie Virdell describes how the dragonslayers added presence awareness and chat to the Go-ForIt.com errand service using Lotus Instant Messaging to provide better, faster customer service.
Part 9: Going wireless
October, 2003
The dragonslayers are enabling Go-ForIt for wireless support using IBM WebSphere Everyplace Access V4.3, a coordinated suite of products that enable wireless devices to interact with server applications. In this article, they explain how to establish a reliable development environment, which is the first task in developing wireless applications.
Part 10: Installing DB2 Everyplace products for Palm devices
November, 2003
This is the first in a collection of articles describing the implementation of database replication for the Go-ForIt project. Dan Hattenberger discusses design considerations for replication solutions. He also shows how to install the DB2 Everyplace Software Development Kit, and how to set up the development and test environment with the tools for the Palm OS.
Part 11, Tutorial: Mobilize portals using WebSphere Everyplace Access
January, 2004
The dragonslayers use this tutorial to show you how they created a portlet for their Go-ForIt application using WebSphere Studio Application Developer and the Everyplace Toolkit. They also show you how they packaged the portlet and deployed it in WebSphere Everyplace Access and how they configured security for the portlet.
Part 12, Tutorial: Leverage WebSphere Portal Document Manager
February, 2004
Let users add, edit, delete, and share documents within your portal -- and learn how they can view and edit these documents without having the associated editors installed locally.
Part 13, Tutorial: Mobilize portals: Build a better portlet
March, 2004
Develop a framework for writing portlets that will use the Model-View-Controller (MVC) architecture. You separate the view (the JSP page) from the controller (the portlet) so that you can easily plug in a WML view in our final tutorial.
Part 14, Tutorial: Mobilize portals: Extend a portlet to support WML devices
April, 2004
Extend a portlet to support Wireless Markup Language (WML) devices, deploy the portlet in WebSphere Everyplace Access, and use transcoding technology to support multiple devices. This tutorial, last in a three-part series from the dragonslayers, shows you how.
