WebSphere Process Sever throughput management, Part 2
The solution architect is frequently required to design solutions that
integrate disparate endpoint systems to exhibit varying non-functional
capabilities. This 2-part series presents approaches on handling endpoint
system challenges related to throughput management. One such integration
challenge is when a target endpoint system cannot process high volumes of
concurrent asynchronous messages. This article illustrates how the underlying
capabilities provided by WebSphere Process Server can be leveraged to handle
this integration challenge.

Comment lines by Scott Johnson: Loading Java resource bundles via HTTP
Learn how to load a Java resource bundle that resides in a different Web
application. Before Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) 6, support for
accomplishing this was not part of the JDK. But with the addition of the
ResourceBundle.Control class in Java SE 6, loading a "remote" resource bundle became possible by simply extending the Control class and adding some custom code.

Case study: Tuning WebSphere Application Server V7 for performance
IBM WebSphere Application Server supports an ever-growing range of
applications, each with their own unique set of features, requirements, and
services. Just as no two applications will use an application server in
exactly the same way, no single set of tuning parameters will likely provide
the best performance for any two different applications. Most applications
will generally realize some performance improvement from tuning in three core
areas: the JVM, thread pools, and connection pools. This article uses the
Apache DayTrader Peformance Benchmark Sample application to demonstrate what
you can tune and how to go about tuning it, depending on the major server
components and resources that your application uses.

Customizing with WebSphere CloudBurst, Part 2: Using WebSphere CloudBurst to customize a WebSphere middleware
environment
At the heart of the IBM WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance are IBM WebSphere
Application Server patterns. These patterns are pre-built, hardened
configurations that are best practice representations of WebSphere middleware
environments that are ready to be deployed to a private cloud. However, these
shipped patterns will not meet the needs of every deployment. For that reason
the WebSphere CloudBurst Appliance provides pattern customization capabilities
that enable you to produce your own highly customized WebSphere middleware
environments. Part 2 of this article series discusses how WebSphere CloudBurst
lets you build custom WebSphere Application Server patterns that represent
your unique topologies and configurations.

Super cluster to the rescue, Part 2: Maximum scalability using WebSphere DMZ Secure Proxy Server, ODR, and WebSphere eXtreme Scale
Because application scalability is an important quality of service in
most enterprise software topologies, enterprise quality Java EE applications

Deployment clusters. Even though the practical size of a cluster can be
limited. This limitation can be overcome with a useful technique for achieving
extreme application scalability that we refer to as the "super cluster". Part

used with the HTTP plug-in and Proxy Server. In this conclusion, the
discussion is expanded it to include the IBM WebSphere DMZ Secure Proxy Server V7,

Implementing agile development in a waterfall project
An application development team on a large project wanted to move to
agile development, even though the overall project very much followed a
waterfall model. Although there had been discussions to move the entire
project to an agile model, the developers decided to use agile development for
their piece of the project and fit it within the overall waterfall structure.
As a result, the team observed increased quality, improved milestone
deliverables, and better development efficiencies. This success enabled them
to champion the agile idea across the project, involve more and more
stakeholders, and gain support to eventually make all participating teams
agile believers.

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.

XA transaction availability, ways to help you determine if your transaction
manager will maintain higher availability during failure conditions (and ways
to make sure it does), and some tips about resource managers.
