BEA.Participate.08 is in full swing. The user conference will finish on Thursday morning. Visit the BEA.Participate.08 Blog for posts from the conference, and check back to our own Dev2Dev Blogs for posts from individuals who are attending the conference.
I'm really excited about what's happening on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Since OTN Editor-in-Chief Justin Kestelyn wrote his blog Sunrise: The BEA and Oracle Developer Communities Come Together and set up the BEA Developers & Architects group (login required) on Oracle Mix, a lot of BEA people have taken advantage of the opportunity to find out more about what's ahead, now that BEA is a part of Oracle.
From my own independent perspective (i.e., I'm just saying this on my own based on being in the industry for multiple decades), I see a lot of advantages in the confluence of the BEA and Oracle communities. I have worked on projects involving very large real-time data volumes for a long time. In the 2000 period, I recommended to my company that we utilize WebLogic as the basis for our proposed high-volume online business data archive and retrieval system.
On another project a couple years later, when database technology was needed as a back-end for a high-volume satellite data analysis center, my advice was to go with Oracle. That satellite has just launched, and despite the data load exceeding our original estimates by quite a lot, our Oracle database has handled everything without a glitch. We're now preparing to create a new Oracle-based data center for future environmental data measurement and analysis projects.
Where reliability and scalability are required, BEA and Oracle technologies have an incredibly enviable reputation. To me, the fusion of the two appears an ideal match.
Here's a summary of other Dev2Dev happenings.
 Our currently featured Dev2Dev Articles include Sudhansu Pati's Building Enterprise RIA Using Flex and WebLogic Server. In this article, Sudhansu talks about and demonstrates how to build enterprise-grade rich internet applications (RIA) using WebLogic Server and Adobe's Flex. The tutorials are detailed, decribing the steps right down to the button clicks. An excellent study if you'd like to get started with WebLogic and Flex.
 We're also featuring SPECjms2007: A Novel Benchmark and Performance Analysis Framework for Message-Oriented Middleware, by Samuel Kounev and Kai Sachs. In this article, Samuel and Kai talk about the details and merits of the SPECjms2007 message-oriented middleware (MOM) industry-standard benchmark.

In BEA Education Services News, note that the Training on new BEA AquaLogic Platform course is still ongoing. The new course supports the AquaLogic 3.0 platform. For information about all BEA Education opportunities, visit the BEA Education Services site.
CodeShare now offers the capability for submitted code to be indexed and made searchable by Krugle, the code search engine. If you submit your CodeShare code to Krugle, it will be joining code from major sources such as IBM's DeveloperWorks, Java.net, SourceForge.net, and the Yahoo! Developer Network.
For details, see the announcement article and Jim Wright's blog on submitting CodeShare code to Krugle. To learn about submitting your Dev2Dev code samples and projects for inclusion in Krugle, visit the CodeShare Code Submission Portal site.
In the Dev2Dev Blogs, Jesper Joergensen presented his plans for his BPM Hands-On Labs at BEA.Participate.08, which is ongoing through Thursday morning this week in Chicago, Illinois. See Jesper's post Want the real deal? Try BPM hands-on at BEA Participate BPM Labs for the description of the lab exercises. I imagine that these will be available in the future, for people who were not able to attend BEA.Participate.08.
Meanwhile, Bill Benac has provided a link to his presentation about ALUI upgrades in his post Upgrade Presentation: BEA Participate 08
In the Dev2Dev Media Center this week, we're continuing to feature Synapse and the Path to Information Nirvana, which took place on Tuesday, May 6.
Here are our currently featured Dev2Dev Media Center events:
In the Event Calendar take note of these upcoming events:
The current Poll asks "Have you used BEA Guardian?" Please participate by voting on the Dev2Dev home page.
The previous poll asked "Have you heard about the Service Component Architecture (SCA)." 8% (12 votes) are actually using SCA, 32% (48) have heard about it, but the majority of folk 60% (89) have not. Visit the Service Component Architecture page to find out more about SCA.
If you've got an idea for a future poll, please send your idea to me by posting a comment below.
The most recent Security Advisories and Notifications entry is BEA08-201.00, a high-threat, high-severity advisory regarding multiple security vulnerabilities in the Java Runtime Environment. The advisory affects BEA JRockit R27.5.0 and prior.
That's it for today. Feel free to comment and send me any suggestions you may have.
