Greetings...

Surely there are projects you worked on long ago that you'd love to redo
now that you know the right way to do them. Sometimes it's a design
pattern that has since emerged, or maybe a new library that does well what
you had to put together in a hurry. There's a project I did a long time
ago for a distributed media system where I wish I could have used Jini
once we outgrew the basic client-server model, but the project preceded
the introduction of Jini by about a year or two. Thinking about it the
other day, I also wondered about the wisdom of having to write our own
content management system to manage the various media files and the
relationships between them, control the size of the entire collection,
provide search, etc. Today, that problem has been solved, and anyone who
needs to build a system that manages a collection of documents--whether
they're media files, blog posts, internal documents, etc.--would surely
want to take a look at what's out there before re-inventing this
particular wheel. In this week's ONJava, we look at a JSR-spec'ed API
that makes dealing with content repositories much easier.

"What is Java Content Repository?" Sunil Patel answers the title question
of his ONJava feature article by looking at the JSR that supports it:
"JSR-170 defines itself as 'a standard, implementation-independent way to
access content bidirectionally on a granular level within a content
repository.' He goes on to define a content repository as 'a high-level
information management system that is a superset of traditional data
repositories, [which] implements content services such as author-based
versioning, full textual searching, fine-grained access control, content
categorization, and content event monitoring.'"

Want to learn service-oriented architecture from others' experience? This
week, we're linking to a set of three PDFs at dev2dev, collectively known
as the "SOA Practitioners' Guide." "To help develop a shared language and
collective body of knowledge about SOA, a group of SOA practitioners
created this SOA Practitioners' Guide series of documents. In it, these
SOA experts describe and document best practices and key learnings
relating to SOA, to help other companies address the challenges of SOA."

In this week's feature article from java.net, Binildas Christudas and
Sowmya Hubert look at "JOTM Transactions in Spring and Hibernate": "This
article explores how three Java technologies--Spring, Hibernate, and
JOTM--can be combined to effectively control transactions across
multi-vendor databases. There are a few other commercially available
frameworks like JOTM, but JOTM is open source and freely available. Using
JOTM, you can control flat transactions across components and across
multiple databases."
