Mind Electric GLUE Featured In New
Microsoft Press Book
The Mind Electric (TME) GLUE Web Services platform is featured in Microsoft
Press' new book entitled Microsoft .NET and J2EE Interoperability Toolkit. The
book's goal is to bridge the gap between the Microsoft .NET Framework and Java
2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) by showcasing the best interoperability solutions
available today.
The book, authored by notable Microsoft .NET program manager Simon Guest,
features expert strategies and techniques for creating interoperability
solutions that bridge the Microsoft and Java platforms. Available on the
Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Quantumbooks Web sites, it is a comprehensive guide
to developing Web services architecture applications that run heterogeneously.
The reference guide presents numerous interoperability techniques and
solutions that developers can implement in their own applications, including
security, routing and transaction Web services. Abundant code samples and
popular third-party interoperability products, such as TME GLUE, help
illustrate even the most complex compatibility practices.
The companion CD includes the TME GLUE software. TME GLUE provides
companies
that want to quickly build Java Web services with an easy-to-use, compact
implementation of all of the core Web services standards, including XML, SOAP,
WSDL and UDDI. It allows any Java object to be instantly published as a Web
service and third-party Web services to be consumed as if they are local Java
objects.
"It is an honor to be included in Microsoft's book on .NET and J2EE
interoperability," said Graham Glass, founder and chief architect of The Mind
Electric. "TME GLUE is the best Java Web services platform there is –- it is
more powerful and fundamentally simpler to use than anything else on the
market –- and we are pleased to make it available in Simon's new book. This is
an exciting time for The Mind Electric as we are pioneering even more ground-
breaking technology to bring the simplicity and power of .NET to Java users.
TME GAIA, our Web services fabric, is in beta right now and planned for
commercial release in the third quarter. It completes our goal to be the
industry's first end-to-end platform for Web services architectures (WSA), a
void many analysts have written about. TME GAIA is native to both .NET and
Java. With GAIA we are not only providing the world's first easy to use, end-
to-end platform for deploying large-scale service-oriented architectures, but
one that is self-healing and uses active management to ensure QoS and SLAs are
of high magnitude."
