Sun Microsystems Unveils New Version of Java CAPS and Master Data Management Suite

Sun Microsystems Inc. (Nasdaq:JAVA), today announced the immediate availability of Sun Java(TM) Composite Application Platform Suite (Java CAPS) 6, the latest version of its flagship service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business integration software. Sun also released a new master data management (MDM) suite, a high performance and unified solution that gives users a single view of their customer data and helps them more effectively manage customer relationships. Java CAPS 6 is the first SOA platform by a major technology provider built on open source through the Open ESB community at https://open-esb.dev.java.net/.
With Java CAPS 6, users are able to leverage existing and new IT investments to create an infrastructure that is more agile and better aligned with the needs of their organizations today. A lightweight and extensible platform, Java CAPS 6 lets users rapidly add and integrate components in a modular fashion. New enhancements to Java CAPS include: a modular Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) for rapidly coupling applications; advanced event processing and business process management capabilities and alignment with latest versions of the Sun GlassFish(TM) Enterprise Server and NetBeans(TM) Integrated Development Environment (IDE) software.

Additional information on key components of Java CAPS 6 includes:
Sun Java(TM) ESB Suite: Based on Open ESB and JBI, the Sun Java ESB Suite is a completely open and modular platform that enables the rapid creation of composite applications and connects with various components and protocols for a flexible SOA.
Intelligent Event Processor (IEP): Offers the ability to identify trends and patterns in real-time, enabling organizations to address critical business issues and take corrective actions proactively.
Business Process Management: Supports BPEL 2, includes new high availability and failover features, and provides monitoring processes through integration with IEP.
GlassFish(TM) and NetBeans (IDE) Software Support: Incorporates the GlassFish Enterprise Server, using industry-leading interoperability with .NET and WSIT/Project Metro as well as the unified and pluggable NetBeans IDE software to provide greater control.


Time-Relevant Widget Needed?

Author and designer Jeffrey Zeldman recently left an interesting comment in a post where he discusses removing the Ma.gnolia bookmarks feed form his blog. In this interesting comment Zeldman discusses the need for a time-relevant plug-in that could unite content from Flickr, Twitter, bookmarking tools, etc.
For about six months, I've been trying to figure out how to create a plug-in that would associate any stream (such as Flickr, Ma.gnolia, and Twitter for example) with a given post, so that a post from a particular day in April 2008 would have photos and Tweets and links from that same day, or a user-determined close time frame. The idea is to collect time-related objects, as one can easily do when hand-rolling a blog post in HTML, but as one presently cannot do with automated blogging software and social networking applications. Imagine a blog post from five years ago that talks about your band, and is associated with Flickr photos of you and your band as you looked five years ago-not because you manually inserted the photos, but because time-linkage between web applications is possible. Imagine a blog post from five years from now that talks about your wedding and is associated with Flickr photos of your wedding-not because you manually inserted the photos, but because time-linkage between web applications is possible.

The social feed aggregators like FriendFeed or Social Thing should be able to do something like this. Personal blogs especially might be more interesting if the day's blog posts, tweets and Flickr photographs could be shown together. This would give a great view of a what a person was doing on a specific date. On the other hand if people use their blog, Twitter, Flickr and other tools for completely different reasons then a time-relevant plug-in or widget would not gel at all. A category or tag oriented plug-in might work better for some blogs. It does seem like a unifying widget of somekind is needed - something that is more advanced than your typical widget that sits in the sidebar. On FriendFeed, Twitter and elsewhere there has also been discussion of widgets or plug-ins that could bring comments and other data back to people's blogs again. In this era of rapidly launching web 2.0 sites you usually don't have to wait too long before someone develops the widget you have been waiting for.

Update 4-21-08: There is a Yahoo Pipes entry called RSS Filter By Date that pulls in time-relevant RSS entries. You can see it in action here on author Sonja Foust's blog.

Security considerations for widget:

As any program code, widgets can be used for malicious purposes. One example is the Facebook “Secret Crush” widget, discovered in early 2008 by Fortinet as luring users to install Zango malware

Widgets
Embeddable chunks of code have existed since the start of the World Wide Web. Web developers have long sought and used third party code chunks in their pages. It could be said that the original web widgets were the link counters and advertising banners that grew up alongside the early web. Later, ad and affiliate networks used code widgets for distribution purposes.

A widget is anything that can be embedded within a page of HTML, i.e. a web page. A widget adds some content to that page that is not static. Generally widgets are third party originated, though they can be home made. Widgets are also known as modules, snippets, and plug-ins.

A web widget is a portable chunk of code that can be installed and executed within any separate HTML-based web page by an end user without requiring additional compilation. They are derived from the idea of code reuse. Other terms used to describe web widgets include: gadget, badge, module, capsule, snippet, mini and flake. Web widgets often but not always use DHTML, JavaScript, or Adobe Flash.
