New to J2EE? Experience it!

September 28th, 2006

A new redbook draft from IBM, entitled Experience J2EE! Using WebSphere Application Server V6.1 has been released. According to the abstract, this book will allow you to:

Novice users are thus able to “Experience J2EE”: Move from a theoretical knowledge gained by reading introductory material to a practical knowledge gained by implementing a real-life application.

“Experience” is one stage in gaining and applying knowledge, but there are additional stages that are needed to complete the knowledge acquisition cycle.

This redbook will also help in those stages:

Before “Experiencing J2EE” the reader will “Learn” about the base specifications and intellectual knowledge of J2EE through brief descriptions of the theory and links to other information sources.

After “Experiencing J2EE” the reader will “Explore” advanced J2EE through brief previews of advanced topics and links to other information sources.

This is definitely a very good step in the direction of enabling Domino developers to gain experience with the Java Enterprise Edition model.

Integrating Audio Conferencing and Lotus Webconferencing in Lotus Sametime 7.5

September 26th, 2006

I’ve been currently working on a demo of Lotus Sametime 7.5 for a customer in Brazil that wants to use a web-conferencing solution that will have an audio bridge for audio conferencing solutions. The customer is a Microsoft Exchange shop who has outsourced their Exchange administration to IBM Global Services (where I currently work). They have offices in a couple of South American countries as well as the United States, Canada, and Europe. Aside from Lotus Sametime, they are also evaluating Macromedia Breeze and WebEx, and they have the following requirement: audio integration with an Audio Conferencing service where they will be able to dial-into using local toll-free numbers.

I know that Premiere Global Services offers this type of solution for Lotus Sametime 6.5.1 customers in the United States and Canada. However, this is not available for Sametime 7.5 and/or customers outside North America.

Does anyone know of any available solution out there?
