Comment lines: Stefan Hepper: Why you should take an early look at the Java Portlet Specification V2.0
Since first versions of a standard or product typically focus on basic use cases with limited functionality, products supporting the specification end up adding on extensions to support more advanced scenarios. The second version of the Java Portlet Specification (JSR 286) is currently being developed to bring a standard solution and interoperability to accommodate most advanced use cases. Reviewing and providing feedback to the specification-in-progress gives you a way to make sure your specific needs are considered.

Comment lines by Scott Simmons: Evolving approaches for connectivity and core banking systems
We are witnessing a transition in core banking implementations as banks
move from a tightly-coupled line-of-business application architecture toward
adopting an SOA-based approach to solution implementation. Additionally,
these changes in solution design are being reconciled with an evolution from
an integration-centric approach based on traditional messaging technologies to
a more open service-based architecture based on Enterprise Service Bus (ESB)
patterns. This article illustrates some of the ways that banks are
implementing connectivity in this evolution, and describes some of the key patterns that are emerging to support coexistence between current and next generation banking solutions.

resulting Web page is more responsive with greater flexibility, the user’s

how you can easily work with Web 2.0 applications using Enterprise Generation

Those of us involved in SOA projects are constantly looking to find appropriate ways to visualize aspects of the systems we are developing, from component maps and business models to patterns and flows, and even monitoring dashboards. But much of this information is static, and all of it is two-dimentional. New technologies present the possibility of dynamic and three-dimentional views that could enable us to not only observe a system in a virtual world, but also to interact with it so that our actions are applied to the real system.

Organizations lacking an enterprise approach to SOA can still be successful, but they will find that the benefits of SOA will elude them.

Understanding in advance where all the appropriate relationship linkages need to occur is the best way to ensure that everyone's shared fate is a positive one.
