The expert guide to deploying and managing any WebSphere Application Server V5.x application and environment 
If you’re a WebSphere Application Server administrator or developer, this is your advanced guide for delivering applications rapidly, running them smoothly, and administering them efficiently. Four leading IBM consultants draw on their years of experience to illuminate the key steps involved in taking WebSphere Application Server applications from development to production. They focus on the areas most crucial to success, including application assembly and build, application and infrastructure configuration and administration, and application testing and verification. Along the way, they show how to implement automated deployment processes that can be executed frequently, reliably, and quickly -- so you can get your applications to market fast. The focus is on WebSphere Application Server Version 5.1, but much of the information applies to other versions. 
Coverage includes: 
Installing, testing, and managing WebSphere Application Server environments: clustering, security, messaging, integration, and more Deploying and managing key J2EE technologies: JDBC, Connectors, EJB, container managed and message driven beans, transactions, JMS, JavaMail, and more Deploying highly available, scalable multi-node WebSphere Application Server environments: clustering, distributed session management, and edge components Advanced considerations: working with Java Management Extensions, caching, and much more Performance tuning tools Troubleshooting Leveraging key WebSphere deployment and administration tools: ANT, wsadmin, Admin Console, and the Application Server Toolkit. Advanced discussions of J2EE and architectural concepts you need to deploy successfully -- with practical examples

Expert Guide to Deploying, Using, and Managing DataPower SOA Appliances    IBM® WebSphere® DataPower® appliances can simplify SOA deployment, strengthen SOA security, enhance SOA performance, and dramatically improve SOA return on investment. In this book, a team of IBM’s leading experts show how to make the most of DataPower SOA appliances in any IT environment.   The authors present IBM DataPower information and insights that are available nowhere else. Writing for working architects, administrators, and security specialists, they draw extensively on their deep experience helping IBM customers use DataPower technologies to solve challenging system integration problems.   IBM WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliance Handbook begins by introducing the rationale for SOA appliances and explaining how DataPower appliances work from network, security, and Enterprise Service Bus perspectives. Next, the authors walk through DataPower installation and configuration; then they present deep detail on DataPower’s role and use as a network device.   Using many real-world examples, the authors systematically introduce the services available on DataPower devices, especially the “big three”: XML Firewall, Web Service Proxy, and Multi-Protocol Gateway. They also present thorough and practical guidance on day-to-day DataPower management, including, monitoring, configuration build and deploy techniques.   Coverage includes •  Configuring DataPower’s network interfaces for common scenarios •  Implementing DataPower deployment patterns for security gateway, ESB, and Web service management applications •  Proxying Web applications with DataPower •  Systematically addressing the security vulnerabilities associated with Web services and XML •  Integrating security with WebSphere Application Server •  Mastering DataPower XSLT custom programming •  Troubleshooting using both built-in and external tools

A hilarious step-by-step guide to saving thousands of dollars marketing and selling your home the smart way with standard FSBO or flat-fee MLS. Like so many other things in our world today, the traditional ways of selling real estate have been disrupted and displaced by technology, Traditional 'For Sale by Owner' (FSBO) has changed quite a bit from the days when you put the ubiquitous red and white sign out front. The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) that Realtors depend on hasn't changed much over the years, but technology has enabled new approaches that benefit home sellers and buyers. The choice between FSBO and using listing/selling real estate brokers in the traditional way is no longer black or white. New middle-ground options make it easier for homeowners to find exactly the right process for themselves. Visionary realty companies now offer flat-fee MLS inclusion, which eliminates expensive commissions and helps to expedite the process, put the power back into the hands of buyers and sellers, and save both parties money. This book examines those choices, and walks you through the selling process from start to finish using the recent, real-life experiences of the author, from early decisions to closing. It, explores the opportunities that are available to buyers and sellers today, and explains how to use the technology that is not only imperative, but comfortable to tech-savvy baby boomers, gen-Xers, and millennials. It is indeed a 'Cautionary Tale' due to the many pitfalls and bizarre events that occurred along the way. In conclusion, the author poses the question—is it wise to buy a home at all anymore?
