Will Java 8 bring in OSGI?

Posted on by

One of the big moves in the industry is to the cloud and many have already begun talking about what will the cloud mean to Java. As outlined in Joab Jacksons article about Java 8, Java 8 gears up for the cloud, making Java modular is a must have. As many IBM server technologies like Notes Domino and the Notes client already have OSGI built into their stack, this would be a great move if Java 8 included OSGI.

One effort, Project Jigsaw, has been working on this goal. When Sun Microsystems controlled Java (Oracle purchased Sun in 2010), that company’s engineers preferred Jigsaw over another approach, OSGi (Open Services Gateway initiative), overseen by the OSGI initiative.

If only everyone understood the power of Lotus Notes. Neil clearly does and outlines it very well in this white paper:

 

Project Management Duly Noted: Leveraging Lotus Notes for Better Project Collaboration

By: Neil Stolovitsky

Abstract:

For many knowledge workers, Lotus Notes is the lifeline to their team members, supervisors and clients. Unfortunately, in many cases Lotus notes is not utilized to its fullest potential beyond the use of email and calendaring. For those working in a Lotus Notes environment, the powerful collaboration capabilities, the sharing of documents and the simple extension of composite applications are never fully realized. In addition, the online and offline capabilities unique to Lotus Notes are not fully benefited by its users.

For the project management professional, when effectively implemented, the Lotus Notes platform can be the ideal environment to roll out an effective project management governance framework that will drive better results, increase visibility and provide a more collaborative environment among its project stakeholders.

In this paper, I will be highlighting how project management organizations can get the most out of their Lotus Notes investment.

Are you an IBM Champion?

I really think this program is awesome as I know so many champions across the IBM product lines I can not possibly list them all here. There are developer blogs, admin blogs, design blogs, and general user blogs that hit just about every piece of IBM software and hardware. I think many times we forget why people blog, it may be a piece of narcissism or just plain old trying to spread the word about things they are passionate about. The bottom line is it is all good for IBM and all of the Tweets, links, and blog entries simply help the IBM community and its brand.

Outside of the fact he spelled “customers” wrong in the quote below, Rick Whiting has a pretty nice article on cloud deployment.

Cutomers can deploy their Lotus Domino applications on SmartCloud Enterprise via the Lotus Domino Utility Server for LotusLive, including e-mail, social business and third-party applications, IBM said. Starting in the third quarter IBM will also offer its SAP Managed Application Services through SmartCloud.

Coding in the cloud is everywhere

As you might have been reading on this blog I created the site PlanetWebSphere.net and the site is based on Drupal 7. The exercise was for me to learn Drupal. What I really didn’t go into was how easy this site was to produce and how it was produced. In Drupal they introduced a concept call Views where you can create basically any block with text, html, or PHP. In PHP mode you have total access to the entire Drupal API including things like module, hooks, and database API’s. The screen shot on the right is actually a custom content view where you can simply write any PHP.That is the exact code I wrote for the left panel of “Feeds”.

Is the battle of the future with Orion?

Orion is a constellation located on the celestial equator that you can easily see from the Northern hemisphere.

It is also an awesome Eclipse project that just opened up its own blog so you can follow the news for the project. I eluded to the Domino Designer being a 100% web based developer tool before and as Orion matures it is becoming more and more possible. Could Designer on the cloud let Lotus developers compete with the likes of salesforce.com? I don’t know but the concepts of web based development or even web based rich applications is becoming more real today then ever before.

Orion is a proposed new open source project under the Eclipse top-level project. The project is currently in the Pre-Proposal phase. To facilitate gathering of a community for this new project, an initial code contribution has been made within the E4 incubator.

WEBINAR: An effective alternative to exporting Notes data – IntelliPRINT Analytics

I get asked all of the time how to do printing of charts, graphs and many other visual representations of Domino and Lotus Notes data.  Check out the webinar Synaptris has tomorrow.

Avoid exporting Lotus Notes data to spreadsheets and protect your sensitive / confidential data from getting leaked/exposed outside your organization. With Synaptris’ new IntelliPRINT Analytics 4.0 (Beta) you can move your Notes data to a grid within Lotus Notes client and perform powerful analysis in a way that is interactive and easy to use. Save the analysis you make as a “Smartview” that you can come back and open again anytime. You can even share these Smartviews with others. Of course, there are options to export the analysed data to PDF, Excel, XML etc if you desperately need that.

You can perform operations like sorting, filtering (including multi-select filtering), grouping, and basic mathematical functions (sum, percentage, count, count distinct, minimum, maximum, average, etc.). IntelliPRINT Analytics also enables you to perform advanced functions like creating Interactive Charts (with drill down capability), Pivot Tables, Conditional Formatting, Applying Formulae (including Lotus Formulae) and linking multiple Notes databases.

See how you can do all this and more in a 30 minute Webinar on Thursday November 18, 2010 at 2 PM EST. Sign up for the Webinar at http://www.synaptris.com/events/webinar-registration.html . Kindly pass on this link to others whom you think would find the Webinar useful.

Please visit our website ( http://www.synaptris.com/products/lotus-notes/intelliprint-analytics/beta.html ) for more information on IntelliPRINT Analytics 4.0 (Beta).
