Writing great code with the IBM FileNet P8 APIs, Part 3: Take a number
Yes, you, too, can have an ECM-backed corner bakery with a tidy customer queue! Just have them take a number. This article discusses
implementation techniques for getting reliably unique sequence numbers from a FileNet P8 repository. Some of the obvious approaches have hidden dangers,
but a correct and useful approach is simple and performant. Along the way to solving this common problem, we'll see some things about
P8 development that have a much wider scope.

Multi-row fetch support with type 2 connectivity in DB2 V9 for z/OS
Multi-row FETCH (MRF) can provide you with better performance than retrieving one row with
each FETCH statement.
This article explains what MRF is and how to use it.
The article also includes a sample Java program that illustrates how to set
MRF in an application.
For IBM Data Server Driver for JDBC and SQLJ type 2 connectivity on DB2 for z/OS,
multi-row FETCH can be used for forward-only cursors
and scrollable cursors.
For other types of connectivity, multi-row FETCH can be used
only for scrollable cursors.

External application integration with IBM Content Manager through a custom
event handler
IBM Content Manager, Version 8.4.1 supports an event infrastructure that
enables the integration of external applications. A set of message formats is
published for the event messages generated from an event monitor. The general
integration for an external application is made possible by using a custom
event handler. Because the event message informs the custom event handler of
the content operations in the repository, the custom event handler can
interact with external applications based on the content-aware business logic.
This article provides an overview of the event framework and uses an example
e-mail application to illustrate how to write a custom event handler for
external application integration.

Handle pureXML data in Java applications with pureQuery
pureQuery and DB2 pureXML are revolutionary database technologies in
their fields. pureQuery is a high-performance Java data access platform
focused on simplifying the tasks of developing and managing applications that
access data from a database. pureXML is the native XML data management
technology introduced in DB2 9. It consists of a hierarchical storage
technology, XML querying languages (XQuery and SQL/XML), XML indexing
technology and other XML-related features. This article brings them together
by showing how you can develop pureQuery applications that handle pureXML data
so you can get the best performance and manageability from your DB2
application.

Integrating JPA and pureQuery: Leveraging DB2 static execution for the Java Persistence API
IBM WebSphere Application Server V7 delivers an enhancement to its
implementation of the Java Persistence API (JPA) to enable optimization of data
access to DB2 data servers for enhanced security, and the potential to
significantly reduce overhead for data access. The optimization is achieved by
using a built-in integration between the WebSphere JPA and IBM Data Studio
pureQuery Runtime to enable static SQL access -- all without changing
application code or running extensive test cases. This article uses a sample JPA application and takes you through the steps of enabling static SQL using the JPA/pureQuery integration. It also includes the optional follow-on step of using pureQuery client optimization to capture additional queries during run time.

Understanding pureQuery, Part 1: pureQuery: IBM's new paradigm for writing Java database applications
The project called pureQuery gives database application developers an easy, GUI-based means to significantly increase productivity in both the design and implementation phases. This is accomplished through user-initiated automatic transformation of relational data into Java objects for access and manipulation of data. In turn, these objects can be seamlessly utilized in a natural OO programming paradigm to write the business logic and the underlying code. pureQuery's functionality in effect eliminates traditional JDBC programming by integrating the query language with Java itself.

Build a resilient SOA infrastructure, Part 1: Why blocking application server threads can lead to a brittle SOA
Resiliency -- defined as the continued availability and performance of a
service despite negative changes in its environment -- is vital in a
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). An SOA infrastructure must ensure that a
service is highly available regardless of unpredictable conditions, such as sudden
and significant degradation of network latency, increase in database response times,
or degradation of dependant services. This article, the first in a series that
describes design issues and techniques for building resilient SOA infrastructures,
focuses on how IBM WebSphere Application Server for z/OS factors into the SOA and
how it contributes to SOA resiliency.

Increase productivity in Java database development with new IBM pureQuery tools, Part 1: Overview of pureQuery tools
Whether you're a Java developer or always wanted to be one, you have come to the right
place. Discover how IBM pureQuery tools make Java programming with SQL more
productive than ever before. Code SQL and Java applications in the Java editor, and be
equally productive in both. Never leave your Java editor, and build error-free Java
applications and SQL. Generate a simple data access layer with significantly less code
than JDBC. Improve your application performance with static SQL, and use SQL to access
database and in-memory collections.

Beef up SOA with real-time data integration
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a popular method for
designing enterprise applications, because it provides benefits like reusable
components and platform-independent communication. When considering an SOA, it's
essential to factor in data integration. A great deal of legacy data is derived from
daily transactions and must be maintained as part of new applications. If you can
combine both SOA and data-integration technologies, you benefit through reusability,
increased communication with other enterprise applications, and the use of Web
services. This article explains how IBM WebSphere DataStage helps make
this possible. DataStage, an IBM flagship product, provides a complete solution for
real-time data integration (RTI) that can be handled as a Web service. You'll use
DataStage to develop a sample RTI job, publish it as a Web service, and invoke the
Web service with a Java client.

The ultimate mashup -- Web services and the semantic Web, Part 1: Use and combine Web services
As Web services grow in popularity, enterprising Web and application developers create new and innovative applications with their data. In addition to single-service applications, developers are creating mashups, applications that combine data from multiple services to create something new. This series chronicles the creation of the ultimate mashup, an application that not only stores data from different mashups but uses semantic technology to enable users to create their own mashups by swapping services, or even by picking and choosing data. It uses Java(TM) programming and a combination of servlets, JSP, software from the open source Jena project, and DB2's new native XML capabilities. In this part, Nicholas Chase introduces the concept of mashups, shows you how they work and how to build a simple version of one.

The many massive applications that you use day to day for search, online shopping or to find your way around town provide data for your use in a completely new application. Enterprising application developers have created many mashup applications to coax a specific purpose out of the combination of several applications' data sets. Part 1 of this series discussed an application, which begins to draw data from several services and combines it. Now we will discuss how to save request results to a DB2 9 database, plus take some of the load off of those external services and improve performance dramatically.
