Introducing CrossWorlds for IBM Domino
Download as PPTX, PDF7 likes6,135 views
The document introduces Crossworlds, a new tool designed to integrate IBM Domino and J2EE applications using WebSphere Liberty. It emphasizes the modernization of Domino applications, making them more productive and compatible with current technologies like RESTful APIs and OAuth. The initiative seeks to leverage the strengths of both platforms while addressing common misconceptions about J2EE and WebSphere, ultimately aiming to improve the development experience for Domino developers.
Introducing CrossWorlds for IBM Domino
- 1. INTRODUCING CROSSWORLDS A new tool in your app development box WebSphere Liberty Productivity with the full power of Domino/NSF
- 2. MISSION Bring to Domino developers an easy way into J2EE Bring to J2EE the full power of Domino Bring to customers the best of both worlds
- 3. WHO AM I? Daniele Vistalli (www.twitter.com/danielevistalli) Founder & CTO at Factor-y S.r.l. Java developer & architect (Java 1.0.2+ on OS/2) Domino Developer & architect (Notes 4.5+) WebSphere Developer & architect (WAS 3.5+) R&D guy / geek / lazy developer (lazyness favours invention)
- 4. THE DEVELOPMENT MODEL PROBLEM NSF/Domino is NoSQL since before NoSQL existed Powerful security and replication infrastructure Great at handling attachments/binary data Great at workflow Modern developers don’t get Domino (they call it legacy… then they set off for less mature NoSQL solutions)
- 5. THE WEBSPHERE PROBLEM Notes/Domino developers failed to invest into WebSphere / J2EE due to wrong myths: - J2EE is slow / cumberstone … (not anymore since a long time) - WebSphere is evil (the IBM Workplace product created this perception in Notes shops) In 2015 we need to move on. Java / J2EE are the way you may choose with productivity at hand
- 6. THE REAL PROBLEM There are 10 million NSF applications deployed at customers. Notes shops (customers / partners) need to: - Integrate (with other systems) - Modernize (mobile, responsive, restful, oauth) - Be productive and simplify application development - Exploit any available tool
- 7. WHAT IS CROSSWORLDS? WebSphere Liberty (8.5.5.4) + IBM Domino (9.0.1) + OpenNTF Domino Api + CrossWorlds feature for Liberty
- 8. WEBSPHERE LIBERTY A fast J2EE Application Server built by IBM for modern needs. - Light (< 40 Mb ram, < 5sec startup) - Open (OSGI based + J2EE 6 / 7) - Constantly evolving - Extensible (customizable to the limit) - Easy to manage (unzip & run, no install needed)
- 9. IBM DOMINO (9.0.1) You should know it What we care about is - Advanced storage facility (NSF), schema free - Replication and distributed server topology - Native/embedded security model (+LDAP) - Provides native binding for Java (Notes.jar / napi)
- 10. OPENNTF DOMINO API An OpenNTF project that gets you: - Modern Java constructs on top of Notes.jar API - Extra goodness: - Graph API - HyperSearch/Index - Xots (agent-manager free Agents) - Much more (look on slideshare for good content)
- 11. CROSSWORLDS FEATURE An exstension for the WAS Liberty application server - Embeds ODA as an OSGI component - Manages initialization and lifecycle of the Domino integration (can provide NSF services even if the Domino server is not running) - Zero effort setup for developers & sys-admins - Is the foundation for future work (auto-config, extensions, Websphere helpers)
- 12. WHAT CAN I DO WITH IT ? Exploit any J2EE / Java library Exploit Java 1.7/1.8 (Domino still on 1.6) Manage security your way
- 13. J2EE EXPLOITATION FOR DOMINO - JAX-RS for Rest (the J2EE way) - JAX-WS for WebServices (the J2EE way) - Spring, Struts, other framework ? YES - Choose your own - Async servlets / higher scalability plus - Java Batch - Scheduler / managed threads - OSGI application model
- 14. JAVA 1.7/1.8 AT HAND Domino JVM is 1.6 WAS Liberty can run on 1.6/1.7/1.8 You can build your reusable frameworks or exploit existing frameworks for your apps. Not tied anymore to IBM’s choices for Domino
- 15. MANAGE SECURITY YOUR WAY - Trusted Authentication Interceptors (TAI) allows to define your custom system for authentication and SSO (add Oauth, Saml, custom) - ODA services allow the creation of: - Trusted sessions: CrossWorlds is a gateway to any database on any server in the domino network - Named sessions: CrossWorlds sessions can proxy any user and run code on their behalf - Exploit LTPA (Domino and Liberty share config) - Exploit LDAP (Liberty uses the same servers as Domino)
- 16. EARLY EXPERIENCE We’re building it MacOSX is at hand Start looking into WebSphere Liberty Getting started app
- 17. WE ARE BUILDING IT CrossWorlds went from idea to reality in the days between December 20 2014 and December 31 2014 Most of the discussion is happening at OpenNTF Domino Api chat group on Skype We’re doing tests, building stuff, testing things out
- 18. MACOSX IS AT HAND Our hacks got results.. Jesse Gallgher (@Gidgerby) got CrossWorlds running on a Mac with native access to domino using the client libraries. Notes Client + WAS Liberty + CrossWorlds = modern development for domino on Mac
- 19. LOOK FOR LIBERTY IBM has invested a huge amount in making WebSphere Liberty a great application server BlueMix runs on Liberty Start looking at it today • https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/docs/introd ucing_the_liberty_profile/ • https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/docs/categ ory/getting-started/
- 20. GETTING STARTED I’ve created a sampler APP (included) It provides a web based groovy shell allowing you to test out ODA code from your browser.
- 21. LEGAL All in
- 22. ALL IN I’ve been looking into the topic of WebSphere Liberty licensing. I need to get confirmation from IBM’s legal but here’s what’s going on: 1. XWork Server, Domino Collaboration Express, Domino Enteprise all include entitlement for IBM WebSphere Network Deployment 2. WebSphere Network Deployment includes WebSphere Liberty 3. All you need is already in the server license for your domino servers Don’t hold back, go get it.
- 23. WHAT’S NEXT Technical overview OpenNTF project ?
- 24. TECHNICAL OVERVIEW I’m working on another presentation to describe how CrossWorlds works and the requirements of it. I hope to be getting feedback to this introduction and then prepare a technical presentation going deeper into it.
- 25. OPENNTF PROJECT My company (Factor-y S.r.l.) is a member of OpenNTF. We’ve so far not contributed anything. If CrossWorlds meets the requirements we’ll share it as our initial contribution and establish CrossWorlds (or whatever final name we take) as an OpenNTF project.
- 26. THANKS Thanks to all the guys in the OpenNTF Domino API team and chat for the support in making this happen - Nathan T Freeman / Roland Praml / Paul Withers for helping me understand ODA - Jesse Gallagher for testing out my stuff and making it work on MacOSX - Everybody else for the fun of the discussion that’s going on As per Nathan motto: “We do what we must because we can”
