| Associating WebSphere Lombardi V7.2 attributes with users defined in
OpenLDAP and routing tasks
This article demonstrates a design pattern using WebSphere Lombardi attributes
along with users defined in an OpenLDAP server for activities such as decision making or routing.
If user attributes (such as language) are defined in an LDAP server and used for routine activities,
such as routing in WebSphere Lombardi, there is some cost involved in querying the attributes using
a JNDI API from an LDAP server. The recommended design pattern can help improve performance and
can be adopted without using the User Synchronization option in WebSphere Lombardi.

| Implementing the facade pattern using IBM Business Process Manager Advanced
V7.5
In a recent IBM BPM Journal article, "Best practices when using IBM Integration Designer and IBM Process
Designer together," the authors recommend the facade pattern: "A good
pattern to avoid excessive or accidental breakages is to 'facade' the data
types and the interfaces, isolating the models from changes introduced through
the other tool." In this article, we'll explore the facade pattern in more detail.
Specifically, we'll show you how you can use IBM Business Process Manager to
implement the facade pattern efficiently
while maximizing service reuse.

| Fuzzy reasoning with WebSphere ILOG JRules
This article proposes a method of applying WebSphere ILOG JRules tooling to
build a fuzzy reasoning system; that is, to make fuzzy assertions, express
inference rules on these assertions, and draw fuzzy conclusions. ILOG Business
Rules Management System supports classical inference-based forward-chain
reasoning with a high-performance implementation of the Rete algorithm (Rete
plus). Forward-chain reasoning is "sharp reasoning," that is, it derives facts
from other "known" facts. However, sometimes the knowledge around a fact cannot be
asserted to be true or false; for example, if I say "Joe is old," I may assert
something qualitative, that cannot be objectively determined to be true: if
Joe is 50, is he old or not? Fuzzy logic has been developed precisely to cope
with and reason about such qualitative facts.

This two-part article describes a well-tested technique for capturing
the fundamental interface characteristics of integration points with back end
systems. Integration still accounts for a majority of the design and
implementation effort of many IT solutions. Poorly understood integration
requirements represent a significant risk to a project. You will see how
correct analysis of the integration points improves estimating and technology
selection, and ultimately enables a more predictable pattern-based approach to
solution design and implementation. Moreover, these articles will specifically highlight the relevance of this technique to enterprise architecture initiatives, such as service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM).

| Establish a system to build custom virtual cloud images
Virtual images allow users to freeze-dry preferred software environments and deliver them to users in a rapid and consistent manner: As a result, companies are turning to virtual images as a means to improve software delivery within their data centers. As they make greater use of virtual images, challenges are emerging -- such as determining how much content to put into a single image and how best to construct these images. The authors discuss these challenges and introduce the IBM Image Construction and Composition Tool (ICCT), freely available for download, that addresses many of these challenges and provides a systematic approach to constructing virtual images in the cloud.

| Comment lines: Defeat image sprawl, once and for all
Virtualization and cloud computing make it very easy to create new
virtual images, but as image catalogs grow, finding and locating the right
images gets harder. New images are created because it is easier to create a
new image than it is to figure out what existing image might be reusable,
creating "image sprawl." Unless you address how to more effectively build and manage your virtual
images, you will not realize the full benefits of the cloud. Two new IBM
capabilities, the Virtual Image Library and the Image Construction and
Composition Tool, can help you quickly understand the content of your images
and build reusable, parameterized images.

An application takes data as input for business logic processing in a specific format, such as text, XML,
EDIFACT, X12, flat file, and so on. The database contains the raw data that needs to be modelled and converted in a specific data format so
that the application can use it. For example, a web services-based application requires data in XML format for processing. To achieve this business
requirement, you can use WebSphere Transformation Extender with an IBM DB2 database for data modeling and data transformation. This article explains
how to use IBM WebSphere Transformation Extender with a DB2 database. This allows you to create, modify and interpret the data present at
the database layer and change this data to a specific data format using WebSphere Transformation Extender.

| The WebSphere Contrarian: Preparing for failure
While many enterprises ensure that application and infrastructure
performance testing and tuning is part of every implementation project plan,
another essential testing and tuning phase is often overlooked -- one to insure that application and component failover occurs without any impact to application availability. This installment of the WebSphere Contrarian discusses how to approach that task.

| Implementing a SAML sender-vouches subject confirmation scenario in WebSphere Application Server
This article describes how to configure and use SAML sender-vouches
tokens in IBM WebSphere Application Server (V7.0 Fix Pack 9 and later). The SAML sender-vouches subject confirmation method is particularly
useful when a message sender acts on behalf of a web services client to access
downstream web services and must assert client identity and security
attributes. This method requires the message sender and receiver to ensure
integrity of SOAP messages and SAML assertions. This article explains how to
setup policy set and application-specific bindings to use message level
integrity protection and transport level confidential protection. A sample
application is provided for reference, with fast path instructions.
