Presented by, MySQL & O’Reilly Media, Inc. Data Services: Mashing and Shredding Data Using XAware

Presenter  Kirstan Vandersluis Founder, Chief Scientist at XAware XAware Project Leader Blog: and

Agenda  XAware Project Overview  XAware Technology Features  XAware’s place in the SOA Stack  Product Components  XAware Metadata  Creating an XML View  Deployment Environments  Demonstrations  Data Mashup from File, Database  Inbound XML Processing (shredding) into different database tables

XAware Project Overview  XAware provides real-time data integration environment for composite data services  Eclipse 3.2 Plugin  Runtime Engine: J2EE, Servlet, Batch Mode, Java API  Project hosted on  Forums, Wiki, Hives, Blogs  Self-training material  Forge on  Binary Distributions (All-In-One and Eclipse Plugin)  Source Code (GPL v2)  Bug Tracker  XAware at MySQL User Conference  XAware Booth #301 – more information and demos

Problem: Over 60% of development time spent on Data Access  Transactions  Error Handling  Extension Points  Security  Inbound XML  Decomposition  Synchronization  Conditional Logic  Aggregation  Data Chaining Solution: Composite Data Services Layer Solution: XML abstraction layer reduces complexity

SOA Stack

SOA and Web 2.0 Uses  On-ramp to ESB for information-rich messages XAware generates XML message, sends to ESB ESB passes XML message to XAware for processing ESB handles transport & guaranteed delivery  BPM, BPEL Orchestration Orchestrates services Composite data services exposed by XAware  Web 2.0 Technologies Service-based access to data RIA-SOA (Flex, Appcelerator) HTTP/REST access for AJAX

XAware Components  XAware Designer – Eclipse plug-in Visual drag-and-drop, wizard-based IDE that speeds the development of XAware-powered applications  XAware Engine High-performance, scalable, dynamic data integration and data services execution engine J2EE, Servlet, Batch, or Embedded  Adapters Provide connectivity to requested data sources and systems; SQL, FTP, , SNMP, Text, RMI, Cobol Copybook, File, XSL, LDAP, Java, EJB, JMS, MQ, others…  Connectors Provides synchronous and asynchronous connectivity from client applications to XAware-delivered services via SOAP, JMS, EJB, HTTP, HTTPS, and Java API
