Manage repeating or missing XML elements, and handle namespaces in the XMLTABLE function. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/db2/library/techarticle/dm-0708nicola/?ca=drs-t3607 Minimize recoding impact: How to make a SPE and existing code work together Learn how to take an existing project build and add in Cell/B.E. SPE-specific code, including modifying makefiles, to get the build system up and running and some basic ideas on how to quickly partition an existing application. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/pa-specode1/?ca=drs-t3607 Save time and code with XPath 2.0 and XSLT 2.0: Use the to operator, the item data type, and sequences to create easy-to-maintain stylesheets New features in XSLT 2.0 allow you to create stylesheets that are shorter and easier to maintain. Build a sample application that uses these features to generate a sophisticated HTML view of an XML document. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xslt20xpath20/?ca=drs-t3607 Managed Agent Explorer, Part 1: Test and inspect your WSDM endpoints Interactively test your WSDM endpoints in real-time using the Eclipse TPTP tooling: Managed Agent Explorer. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/ac-manexp1/?ca=drs-t3607 Build an Eclipse plug-in to navigate content in an EMF model Build an Eclipse plug-in that allows users to manipulate and navigate the content of an Eclipse Modeling Framework-based model. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/library/os-eclipse-emf/?ca=drs-t3607 Tackle WS-Security specification interoperability challenges, Part 3: Using the EJB proxy Use an EJB as a proxy to get around WS-Security specification interoperability issues. Sample applications are provided. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-securityspec3/?ca=drs-t3607 Service-Oriented Architecture and Enterprise Architecture, Part 3: How do they work together? Developing an SOA and an EA at the same time is tricky. This final installment of a three-part series culminates with SOA experts Dr. Mamdouh Ibrahim and Gil Long detailing lessons they learned in a US$1.6 billion IBM client engagement. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-soa-enterprise3/?ca=drs-t3607 Python for system administrators Familiarize yourself with the many features of Python and leverage them to increase proficiency in managing servers, logging issues, networking problems, and testing Web applications. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/aix/library/au-python/?ca=drs-t3607 Invoking dynamic languages dynamically, Part 1: Introducing the Java scripting API Easily integrate dozens of scripting languages into Java apps using the javax.script package.
