Re: Side-by-side Deployment, and Service Component Architecture
A new year, a new look. Okay, we're a little early. What do you think of the new layout? It's in beta, so drop me a line with your thoughts.
We've published many articles this week, so I'd like to call out just two. The first, Production-time Redeployment of Applications in WebLogic Server 9.0 shows how to deploy two versions of an application side-by-side. This allows you to migrate from one version of an application to another, in a production environment, while retaining sessions. That's a great developer feature, and reinforces the "no time for down time" mantra.
The second article I'd like to highlight is Service Component Architecture. In short, this looks to be another brick in the SOA implementation strategy. SOA is all about composition, and SCA looks like a concrete approach to performing composition. Learn more about it in Bill Roth's blog, where he describes it as "focusing on being able to describe assemblies of components which have been written in a variety programming models and protocols."
