AMIS vat Oracle OpenWorld samen in speciale whitepaper
0Als sluitstuk van de jaarlijkse Oracle OpenWorld conferentie brengt AMIS een whitepaper uit. Een handzaam document waarin het volledige verhaal van Oracle OpenWorld 2012 is gebundeld.
Een team van AMIS was tijdens de conferentie in oktober nadrukkelijk aanwezig; als sponsor, deelnemer, netwerker en spreker – en als aandachtig luisteraar en analist.
Zeven Oracle-specialisten van AMIS hebben deze whitepaper samengesteld waarin de visie, plannen en aankondigingen van Oracle zijn gebundeld. In het maar liefst 47 pagina’s dik document wordt niet alleen het verhaal van Oracle samengevat, maar geeft AMIS ook haar eigen duiding en waardering van het verhaal.
De whitepaper is hier gratis te downloaden.
Build and release OSB projects with Maven
0With Maven we are able to build & deploy OSB projects. The artifacts generated by Maven called snaphosts and releases can be automatically uploaded to a software repository. These versioned OSB jars can then be downloaded by the OSB Servers and deployed ( this can be a Test, Acceptance or a Production OSB Server).
In this blogpost I will guide you through this OSB build and release process, so you can do the same with or without Hudson or Jenkens
For this blogpost I will use this maven test project on github, this also contains a working OSB Eclipse Workspace which you can use for your own testing.
First step is to create a Maven POM file and put this on the Eclipse Workspace or Project level. The Workspace pom should build the whole workspace and the pom in a project only that particular OSB project.
The pom always start with the groupId & artifactId and a version. A normal Maven build will always have an number with snapshot as version, a release will build the OSB project without snapshot and automatically will update the version to a higher number and commits the updated pom.xml with the new higher snapshot version.
For releases we need to provide a version repository and in More >
Configure FMW servers with Puppet
0When you have many development servers or cloud servers which runs Oracle software and then you know that configuration management of those servers is very important and must be repeatable. When you configure and install all that software by hand, then you also know that the chance is high that those servers are not exactly the same. This can lead to many configuration issues, tons of documentation pages and days for a new environment is released.
With Puppet of puppetlabs you can automate installations and configuration of all these servers and check the status or read the configuration of the servers. Puppet is open source and it works perfectly with VMware or cloud providers like amazon. There is also Puppet Enterprise which is free up to 10 nodes.
If you want to learn Puppet you can follow this guide and download the puppet test VirtualBox or VMware image.
On github I made a puppet wls module which can retrieve all the Oracle WebLogic software, domains + weblogic artifacts, running nodemanager + weblogic servers data and displays these values as facts in the Puppet Dashboard.
Second part of the puppet module are scripts to automatically install the following

JavaOne 2012: Any news on the Java Caching Standard (JSR 107)?
0Lucas Jellema already mentioned in his excellent overview of JavaOne 2012 that the Java Caching API (JSR 107) will be part of JEE 7. “Cool! Does that mean that this JSR (the longest running JSR ever!) is finally complete?” – No, not really. – “That’s ok, I guess the draft review process is going quite well, eh?” – Ehh, not really, the first draft has yet to be released. – “?!?!”
The draft is ready though, it has been ready since February 2012. It turns out that the ‘performance issues’ of this caching JSR are caused by the legal departments of Oracle and Terracotta. I heard that the release is expected any moment now. Next, a quick reminder of the features of the Java Caching Standard (the current status).

JavaOne 2012: The Big Stories
4The show is over, the people are gone and the cleaning can start.
What do we take home from JavaOne 2012?
That depends on who you ask. Some people primarily will have taken goodies from the exhibition floors with them while other may have focused on less tangible goods and gone for inspiration and vision. After the heyday (2006/2007), some waning years and the robust recovery (2011) after an initially tentative turn around (2010) this year seems to have been one of consolidation and careful further evolution. Some choices have been made – not all of them popular but most apparently sensible and reliable because backed by commercial sense.
