Hello again, 3270: Accessing z/OS applications with an iPhone
New technologies and the proliferation of smart wireless devices doesn't
change the reality that applications running on z/OS remain the backbone of
many organizations. But just because an application might be older doesn't
mean it has to look that way or be difficult to access. This article describes
how you can leverage Service Oriented Architecture to bridge this generation
gap and access a z/OS application from an iPhone. This example involves
creating a CICS Web service that is invoked by an iPhone using Web 2.0
concepts to access a CICS/COBOL demo application. Bringing in Google Maps then
makes the iPhone interface to the mainframe application even more
attractive.

Add Ruby templating to your Project Zero and WebSphere sMash applications
Ruby users, take note. You can now do everything that Groovy and PHP users can do when creating Project Zero applications! In a previous article, we showed how to augment Project Zero to provide support for the Ruby scripting language. The code that we wrote enabled Ruby users to transfer their scripting skills to the Zero platform and take advantage of its unique programming model. Of course, scripting isn't the only way that Ruby is used to create applications - programmmers who use the Ruby on Rails framework also mix Ruby in HTML templates similar to JSP and PHP. These templates, called RHTML files, are very useful for creating dynamic user interfaces, and this article will show you how to extend our Ruby support to include them. Find out how Ruby users can now do everything that Groovy and PHP users can do when creating Zero applications!

Kick-start your Java apps, Part 2
The combination of Eclipse, DB2 Express-C 9.5, and WebSphere Application
Server Community Edition 2.0 -- all free to download, use, and deploy -- is an excellent from-prototype-to-production suite for all of your Java and Java enterprise development needs. What might not be obvious is the relative ease with which you can use these proven tools to create, test, and deploy cutting-edge, lightweight applications as well. This tutorial guides you through the development of a small human-resources application, first using conventional JavaServer Pages (JSP) based technology, and then migrating it to a highly interactive solution using Ajax.

Extend Project Zero and WebSphere sMash's scripting platform with Flickr APIs
The Flickr photo sharing service is one of today's most popular Web applications. It provides a robust hosting service with slick social networking capabilities that make uploading, organizing, and finding photos very simple. That's all very cool, but from a developer's perspective, the most interesting thing about Flickr is its public API for reading and writing photo data. You can send API requests over HTTP using any programming language you wish, and many open source projects have sprung up to encapsulate this API for various languages. In this article, you'll learn how to "Zero-ize" the Flickr API by providing a Groovy binding that is easily reusable in your Project Zero applications. When you're done, you'll be able to read and write photo data from your Groovy scripts in just a few lines of code.

Add Ruby scripting to your Project Zero and WebSphere sMash applications
One of the goals of Project Zero is to encourage scripting as the primary means of creating RESTful resources and reusable components. Zero supports the Groovy and PHP scripting languages by default, but if you look closely at its architecture, you'll see there's no reason it can't support others as well. The Ruby language (and its Web 2.0 platform, Ruby on Rails) has enjoyed enormous success in the last few years, and many Ruby developers make their living creating the kind of applications that Zero is built for. This article will show Ruby enthusiasts how to have their cake and eat it too by adding support for their favorite language to the Zero platform.

Optimize database configuration and dependencies of Project Zero and WebSphere sMash applications
The Project Zero development platform includes a data access library that is
easy to use, allowing developers to execute SQL statements from their application
code with minimal configuration. In fact, setting up a database and connecting to it
requires just a four-line configuration file and knowledge of basic SQL, neither of
which should tax the average Web developer. But as simple as database-driven
development is, there are issues surrounding the packaging of a database-driven
components that require significant thought: Without the proper design, a Zero
component may drag along dependencies and make assumptions other developers
cannot accept. This article discusses best practices for configuring and packaging
database-driven components so they are highly reusable by other Zero developers.

Manage Apache Pluto within Geronimo
Portal and portlet technology development is a hot skill to have,
especially when developing Web 2.0-enabled applications. The Apache Pluto project is
the reference implementation of the Java Portlet Specification, which was
originally created through the Java Community Process and Java Specification
Request (JSR) 168. The specification defines guidelines for portals and portlet
components developed with the Java programming language. This specification is being
recognized as the universal standard for traditional portals and as a framework for
building pluggable Web applications. Find out how combining the Pluto project with
Apache Geronimo's Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) platform creates a highly flexible and powerful environment for
building customizable and manageable systems using portals and portlets.

Web 2.0 user interface technologies
Imagine that you are tasked to create a new application that will live in the Web 2.0 world. Some of your users are perfectly happy with HTML-based user interfaces while others expect every application they use to behave like Excel. Your business sponsor expects a productivity-enhancing user experience, but your CIO won't allow you to develop anything that a user needs to manually deploy. You know HTML won't cut it, but what else is out there? This article explores a series of Web 2.0 user interface technologies that enable you to build applications with better-than-browser user experiences. As a result, you can centrally deploy and manage them just like any other Java(TM) 2 Enterprise Edition (Java EE) application.

Best Practice: Using JDBC connection pooling
To avoid the overhead of acquiring and closing JDBC connections, WebSphere Application Server provides JDBC connection pooling based on JDBC 2.0. Servlets should use WebSphere Application Server JDBC connection pooling instead of acquiring these connections directly from the JDBC driver. WebSphere Application Server JDBC connection pooling involves the use of javax.sql.DataSources.
