whitepaper Using the Persistence API in Desktop Applications2007-06-01 Sun Microsystems
  The JSR 220 specification defines Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0. One of its primary goals is to simplify the creation, management, and storage of entity beans. Working towards that goal, Sun Microsystems and supporting community developers created a new Application Programming Interface (API) that lets one use "Plain old Java objects" or POJOs as their persistable entities. The Java Persistence API facilitates one's use of POJOs as entity beans and significantly reduces the need for complicated deployment descriptors and extra helper beans. Additionally, one can even use the API in desktop applications.

whitepaper Sun Java EE Engine: Bridging Java EE Web Services and JBI Components2007-06-01 Sun Microsystems
  The Sun Java EE Engine is a JSR 208 compliant Java Business Integration (JBI) runtime component that connects Java EE web services to JBI components. It is essentially designed to act as a bridge between the application server and the JBI runtime environment, facilitating interaction between Java EE components and JBI components. The Sun Java EE Engine has been developed as part of Project GlassFish. So, when the GlassFish application server is installed, the Sun Java EE Engine is also installed with the component named sun-javaee-engine. This paper describes the synergy between the Sun Java EE Engine (formerly Java EE Service Engine) and Java EE in the Java Business Integration (JBI) environment.

whitepaper Adding Ajax: Interactive Effects2007-06-01 O'Reilly Media
  All Ajax effects are interactive; the whole point of Ajax is to make a page more responsive. Some effects, though, are more interactive than others - especially those associated with providing immediate information based on some event. Online applications that provide feedback when one performs an action, such as a red flashing effect when data is deleted, or a yellow flash when an update has occurred, are also interactive effects. None is essential, but they provide the page reader reassurance that an action has happened.

whitepaper Adobe Integrated Runtime (AIR) for JavaScript Developers: AIR Mini-Cookbook2007-06-01 O'Reilly Media
  This paper describes solutions to common tasks when developing AIR applications. The solutions in this paper illustrate many concepts used in AIR application development, and provide working HTML and JavaScript code that can be leveraged within the application. While Adobe AIR allows developers to completely define and customize the application's window chrome, it is important to remember that the application is responsible for every type of windowing event that might normally occur. This means connecting the various visual elements with their respective operating system events.

whitepaper Total Cost of Ownership: A Comparison of C/C++ and Java2007-06-01 Evans Data
  Programming language preference is a favorite debate among developers. Because different languages offer different coding styles, as well as different resources and tools, choosing between languages like C/C++ and Java can come down to developers' personal preference and comfort. But for businesses looking to implement one of these languages, how are they supposed to decide which language to go with? In most cases, it comes down to the bottom line. Determining the total cost of ownership of C/C++ versus Java development is a complex equation that involves a number of factors, including development time, ease of maintenance, availability of developers, and hard costs like licensing and support.

whitepaper Integrating Oracle Forms Into Oracle ADF Faces2007-06-01 Oracle
  Oracle Forms has been Web-enabled for years. It is perfectly possible to run Oracle Forms in a Web browser, and in its 2005 Statement of Direction, Oracle indicated that it remains committed to the development and support of Oracle Forms. On the other hand, there is rapid growth in and adoption of Java/JEE technologies and a general shift toward Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA). With Oracle JDeveloper and Oracle Application Development Framework (ADF), it is possible to build feature-rich JavaServer Faces (JSF) Web applications. This paper describes a combination of techniques that enables the user to integrate these two worlds. Oracle ADF is an innovative J2EE development framework available in Oracle JDeveloper.

whitepaper Connecting to Oracle From Ruby on Rails2007-06-01 Oracle
  In the Java world, there are two common types of drivers for Oracle: the pure-Java (a.k.a. thin) driver and the native OCI driver. At the time of writing, no pure Ruby driver, similar to Java's JDBC-based thin driver, exists. In order to connect to Oracle, one needs to install the Ruby/Oracle Call Interface (OCI8) library, which is a database driver based on Ruby/DBI (Database Interface module). RubyDBI provides a database-independent interface for Ruby to talk to databases similar to JDBC or ODBC. The Ruby OCI8 driver provides connectivity to Oracle versions 8 through 10 via standard Oracle Client software. OCI8 is a Ruby wrapper written around native C code which does the actual interaction.

whitepaper ISAN International Agency Gains Flexible IT Platform to Manage High Volume of Audiovisual Content Metadata0000-00-00 Oracle
  ISAN stands for International Standard Audiovisual Number, a voluntary numbering and metadata system for the identification of audiovisual content. The agency wanted to implement a strategic, scalable computing platform on which to run new, Web-based applications. The challenge was to acquire the best combination of service levels and lowest cost of ownership. ISAN implemented Oracle Fusion Middleware as the strategic platform to develop and deploy new Web-based applications. The agency developed new Java applications to manage ISAN International Agency's core business areas, using Oracle JDeveloper and deployed several new applications to ISAN's employees via a portal interface using Oracle Application Server Portal and Oracle Portal Developer Kit 10g.
