Sometimes I really wish I did something else for a living. Okay, perhaps a bit over-dramatic but I’m feeling a bit tired this evening and wasting even 20 minutes on something totally useless (which, let’s face it, isn’t unusual in computing) has me ready to call it a night. But since googling the error codes […]
I didn’t do sports growing up. I’m not sure exactly how or when I learned the meaning of the term “team”, though at some point I must have, because I now have a tremendous appreciation for the team that I am a part of – the Architecture Group in the EMC CTO office. Not sports, […]
I’ve been discussing PUT vs. PATCH with some colleagues and finally took the time to come up with a concrete example of why PUT absolutely should not be used for partial updates of resources. One colleague pointed out the following points made by Roy Fielding on the AtomPub listserv: FWIW, PUT does not mean store. […]
… or Why I Love this Software For the handful of you who have actually been reading my blog on occasion (hi Dad) you might have noticed that not only have the posts been scarce, but the site itself was sorely neglected. So recently, where I thought I had more to share, I became more […]
… or Dealing with a Loud Computer Fan.I’ve been known to pop a card in and out of a desktop, or swap out a hard drive or add memory in my laptop but let’s face it, these things are pretty darn brain-dead so I don’t get a lot of points for that. So what I […]
To coincide with EMC World and the presentation I gave on RESTful SOA, I’m delighted to report that we have released the second version of the XML REST Framework. As I described in a previous post, the April 18 release introduced a framework that allowed a services developer to produce RESTful services over EMC Documentum […]
It’s been a really good week for me. I didn’t attend EMC World last year because, well, I didn’t really have much to talk about. But in the last year the work that we have been doing in the CTO Office around an integration architecture that has emerged as Service-oriented and RESTful has reached a […]
Some colleagues and I have been very busy in the last months putting together a framework to do just that. Let me briefly back up a bit…One of the things that I’ve spent some time on in the last couple of years is the Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standards development effort. One of the […]
Okay, maybe I’m not supposed to copy eclipse projects this way, but I simply wanted to make a copy of an eclipse project that had already been appropriately configured to include a number of libraries, etc., so that I didn’t have to go through all that config again. Seems like it should work, intuitively, and […]
I’ve just upgraded to V2.0 and to verify my install (really just checking my eclipse config for IPF) wanted to do a quick run of the basic tutorial. The first part of it (before extending it to set up an HTTP endpoint) was fine but there is a documentation bug for the latter part of […]
