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...]

I want to install dev edition onto another machine, which already has Tomcat running for a completely separate system unrelated to Presto.  I want to put Presto onto this Tomcat.  What do I need to do?

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.
