In a recent article I described the interaction between JavaServer Faces (1.2) and Spring Framework (2.5.x): http://technology.amis.nl/blog/6655/spring-a-surprise-on-a-jsf-developer-how-spring-beans-can-become-jsf-managed-beans.

It’s one way to know “we’ve arrived,” I suppose. You can now find, on the very first link under “technical information” on Oracle’s XML DB homepage a link to an Oracle-authored comparison white paper (and I use the term loosely) that compares Oracle 11g XML DB to Mark Logic Server . There’s a lot to say in response and because it’s a busy time of the year (and we don’t have 50,000 employees) it’s going to take a few weeks to publish an opposing white paper.

Quick Thoughts on the Oracle Hatchet Job on Mark Logic
As previously covered , email archiving vendor ZL Technologies of San Jose, California sued leading IT market researcher Gartner for $132M earlier this year for its treatment in one of Gartner’s vaunted magic quadrants . On November 4th, the case was dismissed , but have no worries.

A former colleague hit an old nerve the other day, sending me the following message about budgets and budgeting. Dear Dave, A question for you — I just saw a typical idiotic internal email about budgets yesterday, and to my recollection [at our last company], you tried to make the system less dysfunctional, but didn’t really make much headway, and almost earned yourself some finance team enemies [in the process]. Now that you’re CEO, do you still have those feelings about budgets, or have you now seen the other side of the coin?
We’ve recently seen some interesting developments with Mark Logic in the financial services sector, particularly in the area of derivatives . The activity started with our partnership with docGenix , a spin-off from legal powerhouse Allen & Overy , who has built a MarkLogic -based application for managing derivatives contracts. I’ve blogged about docGenix previously in this post entitled MarkLogic Unleashed on Contracts .

Following on the heels of Luc's excellent post on the new ADF 11g carousel component – http://technology.amis.nl/blog/6514/jdeveloper-11112-carousel-component-as-master-and-detail – is another article that shows off this visually attractive component, using it in a slightly different way. Even though the most logical application of the ADF 11gR1 PS1 carousel component is to use for displaying images, the component

A fair bit of work has been done but more is always needed. I think you need to start out with very clear objectives, especially in the following areas: * are you going to try and measure how well the products handle something close to a “real-life” workload (including factors such as updating, database loading, etc), or are you going to measure a small number of synthetic queries? * are you going to make strenuous efforts to get the best possible performance out of each product that you test, or are you simply going to measure what it achieves “out of the box”

I’m very happy to report that IDC has named Mark Logic “an innovation information access company under $100M to watch.” IDC’s press release is here and a copy of the ($3500 a la carte paid) report is here . Excerpt: New technologies are eliminating boundaries between content and data to enable pervasive access to all relevant information. Contributing to this innovation is a group of small companies with the vision and technology to have an impact on the IT marketplace.

Just a quick post to highlight a story in the San Jose / Silicon Valley Business Journal entitled Mark Logic in San Carlos Saves Customers from Drowning in Data . Excerpt: The San Carlos technology firm offers software that helps businesses store, organize and filter all the data they’ve accumulated, including e-mails and Web pages and other so-called unstructured information that isn’t easily manageable

If you have a bunch of XML and are looking for of a place to put it, then I think I may have come up with a simple test that might be helpful. In talking with prospective vendors of XML repositories (definition: software that lets you store, search, analyze and deliver XML), try to establish what I’ll call “XML vision compatibility.” Quite simply, try to figure out if the vendor’s vision of XML is consistent with your own. To help with that exercise, I’ll define what I see as the three common XML vendor visions: YAFF (yet another file format) YADT (yet another data type) Whole world YAFF Vendors Vendors with the YAFF vision view XML as yet another file format

XML: YAFF, YADT, or Whole World?
