Re: Trial for RDi SOA

Here's the deal: what can you use that will work better? How long would it take you to re-create this application, in ANY technology? Here are the requirements:

Frankly I don't know since I n eed to do the application to find out how long it takes :) The curse of our business.

I have not played around with the demo application so I have no idea of the actual functionality, but am only responing based on your outline.

Unauthenticated services:
1. View sessions and tracks, with times
2. View descriptions, votes and tags
3. View comments in realtime
4. Find current sessions
5. Search sessions on keywords

Unauthenticated means no sessions. Ok. Not bad. Real time means SQL.

Authenticated services
1. Register/login (we use email authentication)
2. Maintain schedule
3. Social networking: votes, tags, comments
4. Recommend sessions
5. Online chat

Chat means Ajax. Jetty has a demo application, I'll just nick... eh... adapt.

Administrative services
1. Maintain sessions and tracks
2. Enable/disable users
3. Clear/maintain tags, votes and comments

Hmm... Would a "Keep stuff in a spreadsheet and upload new versions with changes" do?

All data is to be stored on the System i. Responses for the most part should be subsecond.

Naturally. I have just played around with pooled java toolbox connections where the overhead for doing a program call is 1-2 ms, so it CAN be done :)

Would such a challenge include data files so we just talk creating functionality or would everything have to be made from scratch?

The RSDC scheduler is a benchmark. I'd love to see it reproduced using any technology, so that we can compare approaches.

I have no idea what you are talking about :)
