Extend IBM InfoSphere Data Architect to meet your specific data
modeling and integration requirements, Part 1: Modifying IDA models and customizing properties
IBM InfoSphere Data Architect (IDA) (formerly Rational Data
Architect) is gaining momentum as a comprehensive tool that helps
organizations promote a thorough understanding of their enterprise information
architecture. As more people use IDA, there's an increasing need for some
customers to extend IDA to meet their unique data modeling and integration
requirements. This two-part series shows you how to extend IDA's models,
properties view, model reports and validation rules. In Part 1, learn how to
programmatically traverse and modify IDA models and how to add and display
custom properties. [IDA Version 7.5 has adapted Data Tools
Project (DTP) to replace Web Tools Project (WTP).
Because IDA uses the SQL model defined in DTP as the basis of its metamodels,
the section "Programmatically traverse and modify RDA logical data model and
physical data model," as well as the sample code provided with the
article, were updated.--Ed.]

Model service-oriented architecture with Rational Software Architect: Part 5. Service Identification
This tutorial series introduces the concepts and tools involved with modeling service-oriented architecture (SOA) using IBM Rational Software Architect. You will learn how Rational Software Architect, along with IBM WebSphere Business Modeler, supports a model-driven development (MDD) approach to the specification of SOA. This fifth tutorial in this series will step through how you would identify services and create the initial service model in Rational Software Architect. It continues using the online DVD rental case study introduced in the previous four parts, and you will use Rational Software Architect to create the initial service model based on that
case study.

Create secure Java applications productively, Part 2
This is the second in a two-part tutorial series on creating secure
Java-based Web applications using Rational Application Developer, Data Studio
and Rational AppScan. In Part 1 you developed a Java Web application with Rational Application Developer, and
then deployed the application on WebSphere Application Server with Java Server Pages
(JSP). This tutorial shows you how to scan the Wealth application created
in Part 1 using Rational AppScan to discover and fix all known Web security
vulnerabilities. It also shows how to re-scan your application and generate reports.

Use HATS to generate Atom feeds for mainframe applications
Mashups, a critical component of Web 2.0, aggregate feeds
from many applications to generate new content. Because many
of today's core enterprise business applications run in
mainframes, the content in mainframes must be delivered as
feeds before mashups can be successful in the
enterprise. This article presents a step-by-step guide to
using IBM WebSphere Host Access Transformation Services
(HATS) to generate Atom feeds for mainframe content.

IBM Rational AppScan: Hacking Web applications by using cookie poisoning
This article explains why session management and session management security
are complex tasks, which is why they are usually left for commercial products
to handle. The article describes how the tokens are generated for two commercial
application engines. The author then analyzes the strength of each mechanism,
explains its weakness, and demonstrates how such weakness can be exploited to
execute an impersonation and privacy breach attack. He also discusses the feasibility
of the attack. Lastly, he recommends an approach to session management that
separates the security from the functionality, with the latter carried out by
application engines, but the former provided by a dedicated application security
product.

The Jazz tutorial, Part 9
Learn about the Jazz Web user interface (UI). In addition to high quality
integration of Jazz into an Eclipse IDE client, Jazz also allows you to directly
access a Jazz server through a Web browser. This is known as the Jazz Web UI. The
Jazz Web UI is better suited for casual or occasional users than the IDE because it
does not require installation of an Eclipse Jazz client; all that's needed is a Web
browser. In this demo series, the Jazz client refers to the IBM Rational Team Concert product and the Jazz server refers to the IBM Rational Jazz Team Server.

Transformation to SOA: Part 4. How Web service processes transform from UML to BPEL in IBM Rational Software Architect
The article explains how to model BPEL process implementation details in
UML. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) provides convenient, well-understood,
well-documented, and commonly practiced support for use case, collaboration, data,
interface, class, component, interaction, state, and activity modeling. You can
exploit this to capture application models that can be transformed to various
platform architectures. The transformation from UML to Process Execution Language
(UML-to-BPEL) that this article describes translates UML artifacts into BPEL
artifacts.
