users: soa last mile - wso2con 2011
DESCRIPTION
The presentation layer in a distributed environment is often ignored due to its inherent complexities. Moreover, engineers often are limited to one or two technological platforms for implementing presentation logic or data visualization. Now, with the increasing demand for SOA governance, information presentation is gaining wider visibility and focus among the IT community. This session reviews the requirements for a presentation layer, including platform-independence and portability. Additionally, it will explore different presentation technologies, including JSR 168/286, SharePoint Web Parts, and simple HTML portlets, as well as the pros and cons of these technologies in meeting developers’ presentation layer needs.TRANSCRIPT
Users – SOA Last Mile

Scattered Data Sources …
You have plumbing in place too …
At the end of the day its all about presenting …
Yes, you can write a Web App !
Or you give options to build on their own …
What !@#$% Is that practical ?
But, isn't everybody like self servicing these days …
Lets not decide what your user needs to see !
At least for some parts
You create a rock solid but femininely smooth platform !!
You create an API easy as ABC
Google gadget api (gadgets.*)
WSO2 Visualization Api (wso2vis.*)
Cocoa (IOS api)
You create a tool to play with that API
Maybe label it “5+” in age ;)
And Yes ! As you see some stuff are made easy for you
There is nothing wrong with current portlet technologies, its just too old school
Java portlet API ASP .NET Web Parts
It’s a new world
Google Gadgets
Gadgets for the enterprise !! (am serious)
It’s high time we provide the freedom of choice for the user
But of course we can provide the,
Tools Container Ecosystem Repository Utilities
And its about time we let them play,
• Let them mash it up
• Create better things
And make things grow with the community
Unlike those days,
• Things are social now
And …
• You don’t need some one to deploy everything
• You can control the permission and security
• If one part breaks, the rest will surely work
• Its super fast intercommunication (Pub-Sub)
So what is “SOA Last Mile” after all
• Its about,
• providing the right information at a right size
• organizing and categorizing the bits and pieces available.
• making them visually appealing
• hiding the complexities of the underneath systems
• being social
• providing a tool set so they can build their own castle
We at WSO2 have made things easier,
We have created that,
• rock solid but femininely smooth platform
• A piece of cake like API
• a tool to play with that API
wso2vis.* / host objects
What you got to do is build the UI parts and add them to the store,
and
let the users, build their own information stream.
We even tried that too; just for fun
And as we thought it’s a piece of cake
Monitoring Service Statistics
Deployment Statistics
System Administrator Panel
SAP Message Monitoring
