Why do our customers want to modernize?


• Availability of ubiquitous standards-based programming skills−Dwindling set of resources who can maintain/enhance

Scobol/TAL/Enscribe apps−“Wanted: Java programmer, no NonStop knowledge

required”

• Higher programmer productivity−Application development is easier−Can do more, with less

• Reuse existing application and data investments for new business processes (application integration)−Eliminate “islands of information”−More responsive to business change

Primary components of the NonStop software modernization toolset


• Open source Java frameworks

• SOA and Web services• Eclipse IDE• OSS

Part 2

NonStop software modernization toolset:

Open source Java frameworks


Why open source Java frameworks are important• In the context of modernization, open source Java

frameworks are important because−Java is a leading programming model for building modern

applications

−The frameworks address and simplify the development of all major components of an enterprise Java application (including web services, presentation, and business logic)


Which open source Java frameworks?

SASH : MyFaces, Axis2, Spring, HibernateSASH : MyFaces, Axis2, Spring, Hibernate

Apache MyFaces Component based web UI framework

Apache Axis2Web services framework

SpringFramework for developing apps using POJO components

HibernateObject Relational Mapping framework

24 April 19, 2023

General benefits of SASH• High market acceptance

−Strong ecosystem – blogs, books, training, forums, community

• Open source, free• Non proprietary, backed by major vendors

−Portable apps, no vendor lock-in

• De facto standards−Java Server Faces, Java Persistence API part of Java EE

spec

−Core concepts of POJO/Spring are now part of EJB

• Frameworks, not just a collection of APIs, which leads to−Productivity increase from abstractions, consistency of app

structure

−Better quality apps by automatically embedding good design patterns Future product plans, dates, and functionality are subject to change without notice

JToolkit augments the SASH toolset• JToolkit is a set of Java interfaces which may be

called by Java applications• It’s very likely that a Java web service

implemented using SASH to replace a green screen or to support enterprise application integration will require access to existing Pathway servers−JToolkit provides this capability (JPathsend)

• New business logic may be implemented as Pathway servers written in Java−JToolkit provides this capability (JPathway)

How SASH helps with modernization


SASH Summary• SASH is based on leading, standards-based,

technologies• NonStop Division offers a certified,

supported, open-source Enterprise Java stack on NonStop

• SASH is the most cost effective choice for enterprise class Java apps on NonStop

• SASH fits perfectly on NonStop’s architecture• NonStop fundamentals (differentiation) are

inherited by SASH applications transparently• SASH is an important component of the

NonStop Modernization Program


SOA and Web services


What are SOA and web services?• SOA is not a product; you cannot just

download it• SOA and web services describe a

methodology, and a set of technologies, to present applications (business processes) in a standard way, as services−Enabling them to be easily invoked by

heterogeneous clients (service consumers)

• SOA encourages service reuse that enables existing services to be applied easily to new business processes−Reduces the time to implement a new business

process leading to business agility


Why SOA and web services are important• SOA and web services help address three of the goals of

modernization− Green screen replacement

• Web services present business logic via a standard interface and protocol, which can be accessed from any desktop UI

− Integration of existing business logic with other enterprise applications• Because it’s a standard and published interface, web services can be

easily invoked programmatically from other applications running on heterogeneous platforms

− Implementation of new business logic using modern programming languages and paradigms• Because of the benefits of SOA, it makes sense to implement and expose

new applications as web services

• The NonStop SOA and web services toolset makes it easy to service enable existing and new NonStop applications to obtain these benefits, and− Your existing business logic does not have to change

− Availability and scalability of the application is maintained, transparently


SOA and web services toolset – NonStop SOAP

• The combination of iTP WebServer and NonStop SOAP provides a scalable and available web services engine, which enables business logic (servers) to be accessed using standard web services protocols from any service consumer

− Provides support for HTTP, SOAP, XML, WSDL

• NonStop SOAP includes a simple GUI wizard, which automates the process of web-service enabling Pathway servers, with no coding required, and no changes to the Pathway server

SOA and web services toolset – Java• If Java is more strategic, then the SASH

stack facilitates the implementation of web services in Java

• Axis2 and Spring-WS provide the standard SOAP engine and facilitate implementation of the web service interface in Java

• NSJSP provides the scalable and available servlet container in which the Java web service executes

• JToolkit provides the means for the Java web service to invoke a Pathway service

Eclipse IDE


What is Eclipse?• Leading open source

Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

• Rich set of features and extensions through a plug-in architecture

• NonStop Enterprise Plug-in for Eclipse (EPE)− Enables use of Eclipse IDE

to develop Java, C++, COBOL, and pTAL applications for NonStop servers

− Including classic Pathway applications


Why Eclipse is important• No matter what component is being developed

(web service, presentation logic, business logic), in what programming model, using what language (Java, C++), you need to be able to use a well-known, standard, IDE to develop the program

• Eclipse + EPE is that IDE for NonStop• This is important in the context of modernization

because it enables the use of a standard development platform, with no special NonStop knowledge required−Ubiquitous Eclipse IDE skills

−Higher programmer productivity

−Familiar workstation development environment

40 April 19, 2023

HP NonStop EPE - Benefits• Develop and deploy for multiple platforms through a

standardized development platform−Development for S-series and Integrity systems−Use your Eclipse expertise to develop for NonStop−Save on training cycles that may be incurred to learn new

platform-specific development environments• Support for entire software development lifecycle (edit-

>build->deploy->debug)−NonStop EPE provides enhanced build (local and remote) and edit

functionality - even for NonStop specific languages, such as pTAL• Extensible plug-ins integrate with NonStop specific

application development tools−Future releases of NonStop EPE will provide debugging

functionality in conjunction with Native Inspect (based on open-source gdb)

• Benefit from rich ecosystem of Eclipse knowledge, plug-ins, and frameworks


HP NonStop EPE - Summary• Provides the tooling for all common NonStop

application development tasks−Editing

−Compiling

−Building/Linking

−Debugging

−Deploying

• On a standard workstation development platform• Excellent reference for developing Pathway

applications using Eclipse, OSS and Open Source tools−http://h20223.www2.hp.com/NonStopComputing/downloa

ds/4AA1-6925ENW.pdf


OSS


Open System Services (OSS)• OSS provides a POSIX compliant shell for the

NonStop o/s−>90% of Unix98 commands, utilities, and APIs

• Most modern NonStop components (Java etc) are built on OSS

• Standard POSIX services like AF_UNIX and pThreads simplify the development, porting and reuse of application components from other platforms

• OSS provides an important foundation for standardized application development and deployment on NonStop
