| Abstract: | BEA and IBM are vying for market leadership in the Enterprise J2EE server space, both with very powerful application servers that support Web Services. Many CBDI members have a combination of the two and often are looking to SOAP to provide interoperability with .NET. There are many benchmarks available to compare performance and scalability of J2EE capabilities so in this report we focus on ease of use and Web Services support. In particular we were interested to see how far they had got with implementing message level security. | ||
| Backgrounder: | WebLogic Workshop is an integrated development environment designed specifically for the WebLogic server platform. Rumored to have been partly designed by developers who left the .NET Visual Studio team it certainly looks and feels familiar to anyone used to Visual Studio or Borland’s Jbuilder – products which have set the standards for drag and drop programming. When products such as Visual Basic came to the market their biggest impact was to mix the UI ideas of drawing packages with those of code editors. As we become more used to Object Orientation and adopt the Java programming model the visualization of classes becomes even more natural. Development for the Web makes the page layout capabilities of Workshop even more compelling and should do away with the need to buy separate HTML layout tools. What we were really impressed with however, was the way that the Workshop designers have supported the more difficult service capabilities such as asynchronous callbacks and conversational modes. | ||
