| Smarter Planet solutions with sensor monitoring, Part
5: Software that makes sensor event processing solutions possible
Smarter Planet initiatives are playing a major role in how we recognize where technology is shaping our interactions with the world around us. Common to many of these smarter planet initiatives is the observation and processing of sensor data to extract insights about the physical world. In the conclusion to this series, this article looks at how IBM WebSphere Sensor Events, along with other business process management (BPM) software products can be used to develop smarter planet solutions that leverage sensor event processing. Commonalities of smarter planet initiatives are highlighted, specifically around the key concepts of instrumented, interconnected and intelligent. You will see how sensor data collection, interpretation, and response are at the core of many of these initiatives, and how WebSphere Sensor Events, often along with WebSphere Business Events, provides the basis for event solutions.

Transitioning to the IPv6 Internet protocol is inevitable. Migrating systems
and applications from IPv4 to IPv6 will employ multiple techniques and significant
effort over the coming years. Extending legacy services into IPv6 domains will be
required to facilitate the adoption of IPv6 and the development of new enterprise
services. One option, which protects investment in legacy assets, can be to use an
Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) capable of protocol translation between IPv4 and IPv6
networks. This article explains how to deploy IBM WebSphere ESB V6.2 as a service bridge

| Exploring the Enterprise Service Bus: Part 4: Federated connectivity in the enterprise
Driven by increasingly sophisticated business needs, service-oriented architectures have become more widespread, more mature and more sophisticated.
A key driver of this growing sophistication is the need for multiple business units to cooperate and contribute to the overall business of the enterprise. From a business perspective, the result is generally called
a federation or a federated enterprise. From an IT perspective, the enabler of a federated enterprise is often called a federated ESB, reflecting the role the ESB plays in providing service connectivity in SOA.
But the ESB is just one part of an infrastructure that provides service connectivity in SOA, so it is more appropriate to discuss federated connectivity.
This article describes the principles of federated connectivity and suggests an approach for creating efficient and effective federated topologies in SOA.

With the emergence of service oriented solutions, we've seen a sharp rise in developer productivity. Developers are empowered with a new found freedom of service construction and reuse.
However, with this freedom comes an increased exposure to inconsistent service definitions. These inconsistencies expose weaknesses in error handling and system recovery across the solution.
Along with the proper governance controls, IT organizations need to define and enforce the proper error handling strategies tailored for solution recovery. This article introduces you to error handling
strategies and highlights key concepts and objectives for developing a strategy and
the subsequent project standards. Part 1 of this article series introduces the topic

| Establish a policy-driven SOA using WebSphere Service Registry and Repository and WebSphere ESB
The WS-Policy specification provides a simple language for expressing
policies supported by Web services. IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository
supports loading, changing, and retrieving policy documents, and also supports
using policy attachments to link a given policy with a service. This can then be
used by a run time component, like an Enterprise Service Bus, to retrieve
defined policies for a particular service or operation and act accordingly.
This article shows how you can utilize standard WS-Policy documents stored in a
registry to impact run time behavior in an ESB -- and then change that behavior

| IBM SOA Foundation product integration: Managing your WebSphere-based SOA solution
As more companies are putting service oriented solutions -- including a portfolio of services -- into production, the role of managing of these solutions becomes increasingly important. This ranges from monitoring individual services with respect to their associated service level agreements and the discovery of ârogueâ services that do not follow established protocols, all the way to the active management of an entire environment of applications, servers, and the networks that connect them. This part of our series on integrating products of the IBM SOA Foundation looks at how to manage a WebSphere-based SOA solution with IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for SOA.

| Web services with SOAP over JMS in IBM WebSphere Process Server or IBM
WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, Part 1: Using the SIBus JMS provider
This two-part article series shows you how to use SOAP over Java Message Service
(JMS) in IBM WebSphere Process Server and IBM WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus. Learn
how to set up and use SOAP over JMS as configured by default by the IBM
WebSphere Integration Developer tool and how to enable the use of the IBM WebSphere
MQ JMS provider via configuration. In this article, Part 1 of the series, you create and
invoke a Web service using SOAP over JMS and an end-to-end application example, covering
the full process of creating, building, deploying, and testing the applications.
Scenarios covering both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging walk you
through the process. In the second article in this series, you'll
reconfigure a Web service that uses the SOAP over JMS protocol to enable the use of
WebSphere MQ as the JMS provider and allow the transport of SOAP messages via
WebSphere MQ queues.

| IBM SOA Foundation product integration: Using WebSphere Transformation Extender with IBM Enterprise Service Bus products
The transformation to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) includes aspects that cover the entire lifecycle of a solution, from inception, to design and development, to its ultimate deployment and management. IBM published an SOA Reference Architecture that helps structure and position these aspects into a number of different components, and the IBM SOA Foundation includes a set of products that address specific components within the overall architecture. This article is the first of several that will discuss how products that are part of the IBM SOA Foundation can be used together. First up: how to add advanced transformation capabilities to IBM's set of Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) products: WebSphere Message Broker, WebSphere ESB, and WebSphere DataPower.

| Resilient scatter-gather ESB messaging design with message-driven beans
This article presents a simple and resilient design to resolve a common scatter-gather application integration problem. One message-driven bean (MDB) receives a request message from a requester
and publishes it to multiple providers, while another MDB aggregates the replies from the providers and sends the aggregate to the requester. The scatter-gather design resilience relies on powerful EJB
and JMS provider runtime services, message delivery assured by the JMS provider, EJB transaction management, and automatic triggering of an MDB resulting from arrival of a message at the MDB-specified destination.
The article focuses on the design and deployment of the scatter-gather components.

| Using industry standard data formats with WebSphere ESB and DB2 Version 9 pureXML
Within the context of service orientation, the use of standardized message formats is receiving increased attention. Message formats have been standardized for many industries, including insurance, financial trading, the federal government, and others. Using the healthcare industry and the Health Level 7 (HL7) standard as examples, this article presents a scenario that shows how using WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and DB2 Version 9 pureXML can help a pharmaceutical company satisfy legal obligations for exposing standardized data about its products. The approach presented can be applied to all other XML-based industry-specific standards.
