Creating Webservice with JDeveloper 11g

I found a nice link with an online demo for creating a webservice top-down with jdeveloper 11g beta.
If you can spend some time, take a look here. (i think you will need an OTN account to view this demo.)

They have completely rewritten the WSDL editor. Here a screenshot of the new style:

Oracle says:

Improved WSDL editor
The WSDL editor has been improved to provide better layout handling, including collapsible columns and validation and error feedback in design and code views. Other features to improve the WSDL editor are:
* Fast track navigation to all files implementing a WSDL *
* Extensive drag and drop operations for typical use cases
* Extensive binding options including EJB and JMS
Full support for JAX-WS
The wizards and editing tools for services and client generation now support the new JAX-WS Java EE5 standard, providing a simpler programming model than JAX-RPC and using JAX-B 2.0 for its data binding. Both annotation driven and deployment descriptor options are available.

Very nice is the feature, that you can add message part via drag & drop from XSDs... I hope iAS 11g will be released soon...

2XK is over...

The second xyna conference (2XK) is over. On the gip web pages you can take a look at the
official press release and get an impression.
There were keynotes given from SUN (a very humourous lecture about Wonderland Inc. from M. Jeske about second life for business), CISCO, Fokus and Oracle. AND of course the keynote from the director of the GIP research institute B. Reifenhäuser.

Here a short summary from the official agenda:

Xyna Service Factory: The fractal Telco-factory as the answer to the challenging defiances within Telco industrialization

Network abstraction as integral building block for fractal factories: Cisco next generation device and network management

Project Wonderland Inc. (Sun Laboratories): Web 2.0 for Enterprise Environments

From MetaSolv to Oracle Communication Service Fulfillment Suite: Driving Service Delivery Innovation in Communications

New FOKUS Open SOA Telco Playground: Evolution of Telco Service Platforms in Face of Network Convergence and SOA Principles

There are the first photos (including the party) available...

UMPC: FIC CE260

After ASUS announced the EEE for 299$, FIC will lower their price for the UMPC CE260.

You can buy this with an extent module, which is placed onto the right corner of the display...
The following modules are available:

Calendar and Clock or Skype and Bluetooth Phone; Option: TV Tuner or GPS Module

But there is no built-in webcam ;-(

EEE or CE260? Both are available with LINUX!
Let's wait for the first tests...

Sun Virtualization

Hmmm.. now i am getting confused:
At the Oracle Open World has Jonathan Schwartz (SUN CEO) announced SUNs Virtualization solution.
So this week Oracle launched its OVM as well as SUN launches its SUN xVM.

Here are some statements from SUN:

Host Windows, Linux and Solaris guest operating systems
Built using technology from the Xen open source project as well as Sun's Logical Domains
High availability and scalability
Advanced CPU and memory handling capabilities

At this link you can read further details about the SUN solution.
There is a community site at http://openxvm.org/.

So let's start with xVM? or OVM? or stay at VMWare or M$.....
(I am waiting for IBM eVM or iVM?)
