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?

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.

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.

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?

The following code sample represents a basic recursion algorithm using the JEMS services within Presto to trace the dependency tree for any published mashup.  It should be generally applicable to any recursive design.

I downloaded the free developer edition.  I got the permenant license key on my email address.  I installed JackBe presto successfully and started mashup server.   But when I open LauchPrestoServer.html, I get Unable to connet - Firefox can't establish connection to the server at localhost:8080 error.  I do not get the UI to enter the license key.  I do not have internet connection on the installation machine.  Please give me urgent inputs as I want to quick start my assignment on JackBe Presto.

Let's Mash! [I wanna hear David Bowie sing that!]
I am excited! We are excited! You see, today is a very special day for us developers at JackBe. We are putting all the work we have been doing over the last 2 years into the hands of the person most important to us - you, the mashup developer! I am happy to announce that we are making the Presto Developer Edition available to everyone for FREE to download and develop enterprise mashups! We are now empowering even more developers to free themselves from some conventional problems they have been dealing with by using, developing, deploying and applying the concept of enterprise mashups.

What's in it for me, did you say?  [Read More...]

This is a demonstration by Steve Graham, Senior Technologist in the Office of the CTO at EMC. Steve demonstrates the integration of information from the Data Center, utilizing Presto Enterprise Mashups. This is a terrific example of the use of Enterprise Mashups for the rapid integration of disparate information sources in an organization.

The Presto Developer Edition is finally here! Let me share you my experiencies throughout the installation process and the publication of my first mashup, using the code example I wrote weeks ago.

I'll be covering windows installation but it applies for both windows/unix. The only difference is the .bat and .sh (to be run with ./filename.sh ). [Read More...]
