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."
