The Hitchhiker’s Guide to interfacing with Registry Services two-part series introduced everything you needed to know about Registry Services’ concepts in order to write a client application. If you are already familiar with RESTful interfaces and RDF models, you probably can skip a good part of it. The Java language is certainly very popular and well-covered in the Registry Services samples, but it will not be of much help if your code runs inside a web-browser and you are not keen on suffering through the time-tested pain of mixing applets...

In part 1 of this entry , I outlined the concepts and steps required to get data inside Registry Services. I also revealed Registry Services’ party trick, which lies in its ability to recognize seemingly disjoint information from different sources as representing the same entity in the outside world. It has been enough days to let you build that first application, at which point you must be wondering “How do I read that collection of reconciled resource records? Where do I start?”   Collections, collections, collections… Sorry... [More]

Business partners and internal development teams often commend the simplicity of the OSLC integration model adopted in Jazz for Service Management, which is based on well-established open web standards. The openness guarantees that the knowledge is reusable in other implementations, and that vendor neutrality will ensure the stability of APIs and the simplicity of integration with other applications. At the same time, those standards do carry a handful of concepts and models on their backs, but do not panic, they are mostly harmless. The... [More]

This is a bit of sample code I am currently working on, to illustrate how developers can query record collections from the Registry Services component of Jazz for Service Management using pagination support. In this example I will not do anything to the records, but simply show how to list all the URLs for all records for a given Service Provider. The sample assumes dependencies on both Apache Jena and Eclipse Lyo , the later of which requires Apache Wink . I apologize for the profusion of dependencies, but Jena does a superb job of... [More]
