This is one of those BizTalk tricks that I don’t use very often so I have to look it up. This post will serve to document it for future reference. Recently I was working on a project where we needed to set the promoted properties used by the ESB Toolkit from inside an orchestration. While [...]

I have been working on a project where I needed to take an XML Schema Definition created in BizTalk and create a WCF service that would receive messages using the same schema. In this particular case, the XSD was a composite schema and was too complex for svcutil to automatically generate a data contract. (I [...]
Since I seem to forget this on a regular basis, I wanted to leave a note to myself for future reference. I also want to post a link to the Tech Talk blog where I found most of this information. By default, WCF assigns the namespace “http://tempuri.org/” to all web service operations. (For more information [...]

In our last episode, we added a custom media type to our service. This time around we want to add links to our schema to form a basic API. The links will be used to tell the client what the next steps in the workflow should be. Along with the links, we will also be [...]
This is for the crazy few who, like me, run Windows in KVM on a Linux host. If you ever need to resize one of your Windows disk images, these are the steps necessary to accomplish this feat. (Please note the steps for actually changing the size of the disk image were taken from this [...]

Last time, we setup a simple controller in Rails that accepted POX data. Now lets go the next step and add a hypermedia format to our service and message. Our original service used a media type of “application/xml” but we really should use something different. The media type “application/xml” has a well defined processing model [...]

To kick this series off, lets start with something simple. The least-common denominator for a RESTful service is one that sends and receives POX. Obviously this is not where we want to be when we finish this series, but it does give us a place to start. I will be using Ruby on Rails as [...]

Recently, JBoss has announced a new architecture initiative called REST-*. The purpose of this initiative is to create an open source project dedicated to the goal of applying web architecture to integration and middleware. They intend to take traditional integration concepts and find which ones fit into the REST model. The hope is to publish [...]

Since the last time I wrote something about WOA, I have spent some more time researching this topic. (Though I still have not had a chance to sit down and build something.) Two articles in particular, “How to GET a Cup of Coffee” and “HATEOAS – The Confusing Bit from REST” do an excellent job [...]

Another Ohio LinuxFest has come and gone and another wonderful time was had by all. This year I did something a little different. Instead of attending the more technical sessions, I spent my time in the sessions on business and legal issues as they relate to FOSS. Here are some of the highlights from the [...]
