Prologue - what is this mail then?
----------------------------------
Every so often, I send out an email to the people who have
attended the Advanced WWW AD&I course, and to people who
are interested in this domain.
If you know someone who would like to be added to this list, or if you
would like to be removed from this list, then please let me know. These
emails are sent to both DEC and non-DEC people - hence the lack of
specifics regarding customer names, etc.
I've included in this distribution people who may be interested in this
mailing list - if you are one of them, then email me and I'll add you to
the list, otherwise take no action, and you will hear no more.
--------------------------------
Upcoming Euro AD&I Group courses
--------------------------------
My group will be delivering the following courses in the next month or
so. Our group is focusing on key technologies. We give courses that go
beyond the hype. Lots of solid hands on work, with minimal fluff.
Note that the Java course is three days long, the ActiveX course
is two days long, both on the same week (21-25 April) - the week
after is the WWW AD&I course (four days). All are being delivered in
Geneva, Switzerland.
** EY-V256E - Java for Object Oriented Programmers (21-23 April) **
(Inside DIGITAL: http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/jfoop.html)
** EY-W349E - ActiveX: Getting Started (24-25 April) **
** EY-V221E - Advanced WWW Application Development and Integration **
(Inside DIGITAL: http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/wwwadi/)
The full course descriptions are at the end of this message. These
courses are open to customers. The courses can be (and have been)
delivered at Digital or Customer sites. If you are interested in these
courses and you don't work for Digital, then get in contact with your
local Digital contact, or contact me ([email protected] +41 22 709
5096).
------------------------------
Web TP - Techies, think again.
------------------------------
If you are like me, then you will have been listening to all
the talk on "Web Transaction Processing" with bemusement.
The WWW is not suited to TP systems - HTTP is stateless and
connectionless, you have no way of knowing whether a Browser
is looking at a WWW page or not. Three phase commit sitting
on top of HTTP? I don't think so.
Think again. No, I'm not going to tell you how to implement three
phase commit on top HTTP, what I am going to do is cheat. TP
on the WWW is possible, it just depends on how you define "TP".
This is where Gartner Group come in. Their argument is that
most non-technical people don't care a what computer people
mean by TP systems, what they mean is "Business Transactions",
which may have nothing to do with commit/rollback, etc. They
may simply be talking about intercting with business systems
via the WWW.
In any case, next time someone starts talking about Transaction
Processing on the Web, I'd skip the usual speel about HTTP, or
Java Applets talking IIOP to transaction monitors, they may not
be talking the same language.
Inside DEC, see "The Reality of Web Transaction Processing"
http://webir.das.dec.com/cgi-bin/ir-display-object.pl?objectid=MR069K
I've updated the list of pointers to Gartner Group (and other)
reports that are related to WWW AD&I.

Visual JavaScript from Netscape
-------------------------------
Available for download from Netscape, if you work for Digital
http://developer.netscape.com/members/doc/gold/doc/visual_javascript/index.html
You'll find the username and password to use in the GYRO::INTERNET_TOOLS
notes conference, topic 4552.
Completely written in Java, works remarkably quickly. Visual
development environment, with the usual "drag form elements on to web
page" type approach. It will really start looking interesting when you
can work with Java Beans, and CORBA based objects via IIOP.
-------------------
Caching in Browsers
-------------------
One of the issues we face when web-enabling applications is that we do
not have the close control over the GUI that we have when developping
traditional user interfaces. This means, for example, that the user may
submit form data, go to several new pages, and then go back through the
browser history, and re-submit the form, which may no longer be
appropriate.
One thing you can do is tell the browser not to cache the HTML page
containing the form. You can do this by sending an additional HTTP
header back down to the browser (whether you are using, CGI, NSAPI, ASP
or whatever). The Expires header will do this:
"Expires: Thu, 03 Apr 1997 00:00:00 GMT"
Note, the following from the HTTP 1.1 RFC, however:
Note: if history list mechanisms unnecessarily prevent users from
viewing stale resources, this will tend to force service authors to
avoid using HTTP expiration controls and cache controls when they
would otherwise like to. Service authors may consider it important
that users not be presented with error messages or warning messages
when they use navigation controls (such as BACK) to view previously
fetched resources. Even though sometimes such resources ought not
to cached, or ought to expire quickly, user interface
considerations may force service authors to resort to other means
of preventing caching (e.g. "once-only" URLs) in order not to
suffer the effects of improperly functioning history mechanisms.

Presentation Available - Web Enabling Applications: The State of the
Art
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I spoke recently at the a large Swiss Bank's Developers Forum in Zurich,
Switzerland on the subject of WWW Application Development and
Integration. The presentation is aimed at a technical audience.
DIGITAL people can download the presentation from
http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/wwwadi
If you have any comments or questions on it, don't hesitate etc. Also
if you need someone to deliver this kind of presentation or workshop at
a seminar, road-show, etc. then I'd be happy to help out.
Cheers,
/Damian
This is a short description of the presentation:
Companies and Organizations are increasingly deploying Internet
related technology, specifically the World Wide Web, on their internal
networks (Intranets). This can create a schism between the older
"legacy" applications, and the newer WWW based environment.
This presentation is for Solutions Architects, Technology Consultants
and Technical Specialists with some experience in Internet Technology,
who wish to gain an overview of the tools and techniques currently
being used to "Web Enable" applications.
The competing visions of the major players are described, focusing
on Netscape's Open Network Environment, and Microsoft's ActiveX
framework. Areas that are currently receiving a lot of attention,
including ActiveX, Java, and IIOP will be covered in more detail.
The presenter, Damian Mehers, is a consultant working for Digital's
European AD&I group, based in Geneva. Damian delivers WWW Application
Development and Integration courses, workshops, and consultancy
to customers throughout Europe. Damian has over ten years experience
in application development and integration, largely focused on the
middleware arena. For the past three years Damian has concentrated
on the integration of the WWW with new and existing applications.

Subject: Use of NSAPI goes live
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 97 12:41:06
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Damian,
A project that I've been working on since before Xmas
has officially gone live on the Web today (26th Feb. '97).
http://sear.ch
Using a special build of AVSI we have built an index of almost
600,000 pages specific to Switzerland (~.ch) and Liechtenstein
(~.li). This has been integrated with a Value Added Link to the
Web Index in Palo Alto to give users a choice of searching
Swiss Pages or the whole WWW. The Swiss pages are updated
more often!? locally than at Palo Alto.
To achieve the above we use a Netscape Fasttrack Server, on
the same server as AVSI and have built the required front and
back end processing using NSAPI. See attached diagram. The
service is available in four languages (German, English, French
and Italian.)
Using NSAPI overcomes the problem of not being able to modify
the query form and being forced to have the AltaVista detritus
cluttering up the page. One problem not yet addressed is that
this method circumvents the User License Quota since the only
IP address that AVSI sees is it's own! Obviously the Fasttrack
Server could equally well sit on any box, DEC Alpha, NT or even
(cough, spit) Sun.
Locally I have extended the functionality of the NSAPI to emulate
the full capability of AVSI, i.e. various result formats, Advanced
Search and quickly adding new languages. I will also allow the
user to enter the keywords AND, OR, NOT and NEAR in any
supported language.
Anybody interested, commercially or otherwise, in the above should
contact me via Email . [email protected]
Cheers
Andrew
--------------------------------------------------------------
Java Beans and ActiveX Controls - Interfaces are behind it all
--------------------------------------------------------------
Both of the above are about component software. A special kind of
component software - software that runs in a container - software
that has both a design-time and a run-time behaviour.
At design-time (should really be called 'programming-time'), the
component is configured, including how it should interact with other
components.
In order for a component to be able to interact with the container and
with other components it must implement certain interfaces. What is an
interface?
At its simplest, an Interface is a collection of 'methods' or
'functions'. If a component implements an Interface, it implements the
methods associated with that interface.
For example we may have an Edible Interface, which has the methods
taste() and bite(). Now any component can be Edible, by implementing
those two methods. Other components that need to interact with Edible
components can then do so, without knowing or caring what kind of
component the other components really are.
A slightly more reallistic Interface might be the interface that a Java
Bean has to implement if it is to allow its properties to be stored, so
that the Bean can be re-created - the "Serializable interface". You
might also want to look at the Interface that an OLE Control must
implement in order to allow its properties to be stored
"IPersistStreamInit".
Interfaces are a Java language feature. Interfaces are not a C, C++ or
Basic language feature. That is where Microsoft's (COM) Common Object
Model fits in - it provides the plumbing.
There is a *lot* more to COM and OLE Controls, Java and Java Beans than
this. But OLE Controls and Java Beans operate in the same space, and it
is not surprising that there is a lot of overlap. The key to
understanding it all (for me at least), was getting my head around the
concept of Interfaces.

introduction to ActiveX Technologies and related
software development tools.
This course will start by positioning ActiveX both
from a business and from a Technology perspective.
The course continues by examining ActiveX in greater
depth concentrating on its foundations in
Microsoft's object technology. ActiveX aspects that
are relevant to the WWW are covered : this includes
the tools and technologies (such as Active X
Controls, Automation and Security) that are of
interest to component builders, solution providers,
and end-users.
Most of the modules are accompanied by lab work,
giving participants an opportunity to put into
practice the concepts presented, and experiment

Advanced Intranet/WWW Application Development & Integration
TARGET AUDIENCE This course is for Solutions Architects, Technology
Consultants and Technical Specialists with basic
experience in Internet Technology, who wish to take
their expertise to a greater depth. It concentrates
primarily on Server-side application integration
techniques, although Browser-side technologies such
as Java Applets and ActiveX Controls are introduced,
and positioned.
COURSE DESCRIPTION Companies and Organisations are increasingly
deploying Internet related technology, specifically
the World Wide Web, on their internal networks
(Intranets). This can create a schism between the
older "legacy" applications, and the newer WWW based
environment.
Moving beyond the somewhat primitive mechanisms
currently being used, such as the Common Gateway
Interface (CGI), this four day course addresses the
tools, techniques and technologies required to build
secure, elegant and high performant gateways to both
new and legacy applications.
The course also covers the advanced use of the CGI,
including techniques such as the use of persistent
"Cookies" to maintain context across multiple client
access.
Extensive Lab work gives hands on experience in the
use of Web Server APIs, including Microsoft's and
Netscape's competing "standards", as well as other
tools and technologies such as Server-side Scripting
and Java.
The integration of applications with the WWW using
middleware such as OSF/DCE, Object Request Brokers,
and Message Oriented Middleware is presented. This
also includes the integration of middleware
technology with Web Servers, such as the use of DCE
Security in authenticated access to Web Servers.
This course is continually updated and improved so
as to incorporate new developments in the WWW
Application Development and Integration domain.
PREREQUISITES Attendees are expected to be familiar with the World
Wide Web including a basic understanding of
HyperText Markup Language (HTML) such as the use of
HTML forms and the Common Gateway Interface.
Such experience can be gained through attending the
"Building Internet/Intranet Web Applications"
course, or any similar course.
Extensive hands on experience in programming using C
or C++ is assumed, as is a working knowledge of
Digital UNIX or Windows NT, and some experience with
the Microsoft Development tools.
Familiarity with middleware technology in general is
also beneficial.
OUTLINE Day 1
- Internet and WWW Overview, including HTTP, HTML,
and CGI
- The Business benefits of Web Application
Integration.
- Advanced CGI (includes Cookies)
- Advanced CGI Labs
Day 2
- Netscape's Server-side tools and technologies
including the Netscape Server API (NSAPI),
LiveWire (Server-side JavaScript)
- Labs on LiveWire and NSAPI
Day 3
- Microsoft's Server-side tools and technologies
including the Internet Server API (ISAPI)
- Labs on Microsoft's Server-side tools
Day 4
- Introduction and overview of Java, and the
standard Server-side Java classes. Overview of
Java related technology, such as Remote Method
Invocation (RMI) and Java to CORBA linkage using
Java IDL
- Labs on Java and the Server-side Java classes
- Security, including an introduction to SSL, and
the use of Web Server Security API's to integrate
existing authentication mechanisms (e.g. DCE
security) with Web Servers.
- Late breaking tools and technologies. This is
important, because the market and technology is
moving very fast.
This is also the time when students can ask
questions beyond the scope of the material already
covered, and probe areas specific to their problem
domain.

Every so often, I send out an email to the people who have
attended the Advanced WWW AD&I course, and to people who
are interested in this domain.
If you know someone who would like to be added to this list, or if you
would like to be removed from this list, then please let me know. These

I am also CCing the people that responded to my email to the IBG
Interest mail list concerning creating a forum for discussing
Web Enabling Applications, to keep you updated.
-----------------------------------
2. Upcoming Euro AD&I Group courses

-----------------------------------------
3. Web Enabling a European Stock Exchange
-----------------------------------------
An article describing the way in which a CORBA based
prototype interface to a large European Stock Exchange
has been rendered accessible via a World Wide Web interface.
It is aimed at a technically sophisticated, but "web illiterate"
customer audience.
http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/stockexchange/
The solution I chose involved creating OLE Automation
Objects, and then using Microsoft's Active Server Pages
and Server-side JavaScript.
---------------------------------------------------------
4. Netscape CORBA (AWADI course) Lab - feedback requested
---------------------------------------------------------
The last AWADI course that I delivered included the beginnings
of a new module on Netscape's CORBA based Web Application Interface,
as well as the use of CORBA objects from Netscape's LiveWire
(server-side JavaScript).
The course now includes a module on the use of CORBA with
Netscape's latest (beta) Web Server. It includes an introduction
to CORBA, the use of LiveConnect to allow you to access CORBA
objects from Server-side JavaScript (LiveWire), and Netscape's
new Web Application Interface.
If you would like to give this stuff a go, try out the preliminary
labs from http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/wwwadi/awadicorba.zip
-------------------------------------
5. Integrating COM, CORBA and the Web
-------------------------------------
I see a trend in Web-Enabling Applications towards the use of
Server-side scripting, and Distributed Object technology - ASP/COM,
LiveWire/CORBA.
Accordingly I am thinking of putting together a course that focuses
purely on Web-Enabling applications using these two technologies.
A full description of the ideas for this course can be found at
http://bigbird.geo.dec.com/comcorbaweb/
I would welcome any comments. Would this course interest *you*?
----------------------------------------------------------------
6. Mailing list / AV Forum focusing on Web Enabling Applications

I got a great response. Patti Anklam (Applied Internet Technologies
Group) has very kindly offered to host an Altavista Forum discussion on
the topic.
My own feeling is that an mailing list may be more appropriate, however
I would be happy to be overruled. Send me email. I will set up an mail
list or ask Patti to set up a forum by the middle of this month.

7. NSIS Munich group working on WWW for Saab
--------------------------------------------
People with skills and experience in Web Enabling Applications ...
>From John Conway ([email protected]):
We are a group of 4 within NSIS Munich. Our main customer is Saab
Automobile with whom we have a 5 year partnership (94->98). Project
includes sub-co in Sweden (Combitech Network) whow we use for systems
management, help desk, third-party handling. Our main interest is
software architecture and software development and the project
management to bring it all together.
We work on a timer&material basis for Saab (approx 4 man
years per year). We deploy object-oriented analysis tools based on
Ian Graham's SOMA with elements of KISS. We work very closely with Saab
to understand their business processes and to figure out how best
to improve them with leading edge IT. Saab on the other hand learn
from us what the IT possibilities are and since we have control of
the environment (from all perspectives) we can make things happen fast.
One of our current projects involves a harness design system. This also
includes supporting external partners via the extranet. The architecture
we are evaluating includes Java, ObjectStore OODBMS, CORBA/IIOP, Oracle
(legacy). We have already done some Java Apps, CGI and NSAPI for Saab.
We are also responsible for part of Saab intranet. Other projects
include applications for electrical system verification, web based
standard document publishing, visualisation tools (based on Tom Sawyer
Software).
Saab cannot be used as reference without permission from Saab.

9. Request from John Giudice - Tools for Distributed Software
Development
---------------------------------------------------------------
...
I am working with a team to develop a set of software tools for building
distributed applications. You can get more information on the work at
http://jwgl.zko.dec.com/software/.
I am interested in getting feedback from application developers who are
building distributed applications (and web based applications) on what
tools and resources they would find most valuable to help their work.
Our particular focus is on providing tools which will help developers be
successful using DIGITAL servers. However, I would welcome feedback on
all aspects of your (or others) needs around software development tools.
We are focused on helping developers build, and debug distributed
applications using DCOM technology, from Windows NT (and W95) to UNXI
servers, WNT servers and W95 desktops.
Let us know what you are seeing as important areas which can help your
(and others) work.
