WS-Security with GlassFish ESB

When selling GlassFish ESB to partners, we (Sun) have to provide our partners with all the material allowing them a quick ramp-up on our technology.  That’s the main reason why my group (Sales Engineers, Northern Europe) created a 3 days GlassFish ESB technical workshop.

My contribution to this workshop is a one hour module about WS-Security and GlassFish ESB (and OpenESB).  The idea is to demonstrate how easy it is to setup a WS-Security enabled channel between a web service provider and a web service client.

Specifically, the screencast tutorial shows how to establish mutual certificate authentication between an EJB based web service and a JBI service assembly, acting as web service client, in this case, a BPEL module.

The module is now released online, booth as PDF slides and as a screencast tutorial.

To learn more about WS-Security, I recommend this reading.

Enjoy !

JavaFX presentations and demo during our last JUG meeting

A couple of days ago, the Luxembourg Java User Group – YaJuG – and the Lorraine JUG held a last meeting before the holiday season.  They invited Simon Ritter and myself to talk about ademo JavaFX.

The meeting was organized on a boat (une péniche) usually dedicated for theatre performances

The slides are now posted on YaJuG’s web site while Lorraine JUG posted some pictures on Picassa.

French local newspaper "Le Républicain Lorrain" wrote a short paper about this and even sent a photograph for the occasion (lower left of the page, in french !).

Platform Popularity and Job Posting

One of the interesting way to mesure the popularity of a software platform or framework is to capture the number of job posting requiring experience with the platform or the framework.

This is the type of search indeed.com allows to conduct.  And guess what ?  GlassFish experience appearing in job postings increased ~700% during the last two quarters !  More than 6 times the growth of popularity of the other application servers.

Stil looking for evidences of GlassFish adoption ?
