Happy Mashup New Year!
Posted 01/05/2009 - 17:04 by chriswarner
On December 30 your Mashup Developer Community reached one thousand members! This is a great milestone and it is something you all should be proud of. Without your support and your referrals to co-workers, we wouldn’t be here. (If you haven't used the 'Invite a Friend' page, check it out!)
And I am very proud to say that because of this I lost a bet to Deepak, one of my fellow Mashup Developer Community Managers. As part of the bet, I promised to distrbute some holiday treats to all of you. So, here ya go... [Read More...]

Getting Started with Role-Based Security in Your Mashups
Posted 12/08/2008 - 15:51 by danmalks
We ship Presto Developer Edition with everything you need to get started immediately out-of-the box. For example, we ship with Tomcat for your convenience (although you can deploy to your favorite app server, if you choose)
When it comes to security, you can connect Presto to your existing LDAP in order to access your users and groups from within Presto. But we ship with a simple internal user management database for your convenience out-of-the-box. In this blog, I will provide an overview of a basic use case for using Role Based Access Control (RBAC) with Presto.
I hope this will be a good jumping off point for you to get started with Presto Developer Edition so you can start rapidly building secure Enterprise Mashups. While I outline a simple example, the same approach can be used once you have integrated with your corporate LDAP or Single-Sign-On (SSO) solutions, as well.
Are you looking to get extraordinary results from your data ?

Data is everywhere and in so many different platforms, technology, and formats; the question is 'how to put all this data together to take advantage of it on demand?'. Wouldn't it be great to combine data from all the areas in your company regardless of the container? We used to have most systems based in databases and a few others in text files. Now we have others now in XML, etc. How do we merge them?
The answer is not to write a custom application; by now you know it will take a fortune and a lot of time. Fortunately JackBe has created a new Enterprise Suite to do all this for you. In minutes you can download a Developer Edition of the product, install it, and merge the most common data source types like Database, Webservices, REST, POJOs, and even Microsoft Excel Spread Sheets. This is the Revolution of the Data , which we call Mashups.
An Article Worth Reading: 'Enterprise Mashups - The Icing on your SOA'
Posted 11/23/2008 - 20:11 by chriswarner
Much has been written about the synergy between mashups and SOA (we rcapped a lot of it in a recent blog). Mike Kavis at Toolbox.com has gone one step further and added mashups into the SOA-enabled enterprise archietcture.
Here's the setup:
We want to hide the complexity of our architecture from the end user and expose data services to them to consume. At the same time we want these mashups to be equally secure as the services we write and adhere to the same governing principles. Enterprise mashup products provide tools to make managing this layer easy and efficient.
Using Presto Dev Edition with Active Directory LDAP Authentication
Posted 11/20/2008 - 13:34 by sbarasch
Hi. I am trying t install the JackBe Developers Edition into an Active Directory LDAP enviornment (for user management) to simulate how a customer might do this in the enterprise world.
So far, I have gone into the Admin Console, and editted the user management repository to LDAP, and added the LDAP URL and Administrator's Account Full DN and Password. I then clicked save. I cannot login to the mashup server as any of my Active Directory users. Is there something that I am missing?
