Madeleine L'Engle 1918-2007
One of my very favorite authors passed away last week. Madeleine L'Engle died on September 6 at the age of 88. L'Engle is probably best know for her Newbery award-winning book, A Wrinkle in Time. She wrote more than 60 books for children and adults, including fiction, science fiction, poetry, plays, autobiographical works, and meditations on faith and art.
The world has lost a gifted writer, but the books she left behind will be cherished by many for years and years to come. If you haven't read any of Madeleine's books, I recommend you check out A Wrinkle in Time the next time you are in the library.
Caterpillars to Butterflies
The next time you are at the library be sure to check out our display of caterpillars in the Children's Department. This is a chance to observe the wonder of nature up close and personal. Over the weeks watch the progression as they munch away, build their chrysalises, and eventually transform into beautiful butterflies. There are monarch butterflies and black swallowtails. Thanks to Joyce Goetz, Johnson County Master Gardener, for her assistance with this wonderful display.
Hot Picks
The Children's Department has a new section of books called "Hot Picks" for kids.  In this section you can find some of our most popular titles. Hot Picks books cannot be requested, check out for only 2 weeks, and cannot be renewed. This way even if a book has a long waiting list (like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows), you might get lucky and still find a copy available on the Hot Picks shelf. Many of the current William Allen White award nominees may be found in the Hot Picks section, as well as some of the newer, popular children's DVDs. Just ask the librarian where the Hot Picks are!
The Library Is Going to the Dogs
Are you looking for a fun way to practice your reading skills? Then come to the Olathe Public Library and read to a book-loving dog! Below is a list of dates and times when trained therapy dogs will be at the Olathe libraries waiting to hear a good story. Just come to the Children's Desk when you arrive and check in for a reading time. There are a limited number of slots which will be available on a first come, first served basis. You may bring a book from home or the library will have a selection of good books for you to choose from. Here are the dates for the fall:

A registry allows organizations to publish and discover Web services. Currently, two registry standards dominate: UDDI (Universal Description, Discovery, and Integration) and ebXML. With either of these, businesses can publish a set of Web services so their internal or external business partners can discover them. However, integrating Web services' discovery and registration regardless of the supported registry standard can prove challenging for businesses. For example, suppose some of the ACME company's multiple business partners published their services in a UDDI registry, while others published in an ebXML registry. How does an ACME Web service application discover those services published by all its business partners? What if ACME wants to publish its services to both UDDI and ebXML registries from within a single Web service application?
JAXR, the Java API for XML Registries, provides a standard API for publication and discovery of Web services through underlying registries. Currently, JAXR is included in the Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP) 1.0 and the recently released Java XML Pack, Summer 02 Release. Additionally, JAXR will play an integral part in J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) 1.4. Scheduled for release in early 2003, J2EE 1.4 will be the platform of choice for Web services development and deployment, and compliant vendors will need to provide this API's implementation as an integrated feature in their applications.
In this article, we describe JAXR's architecture and programming models through example code. We explain important registry operations such as publication and discovery of Organization
s, Service
s, usage of ServiceBinding
s, and ClassificationScheme
s. Note: We give special attention to UDDI programmers.
Registry overview
Most business-to-business interactions are collaborations between two parties who engage in a partnership. These business partners share a registry, often in the form of a Web-based service. A registry typically functions as electronic Yellow Pages, where information about businesses and the products and services they offer are published and discovered. A registry can also serve as a database or store shared information, information that can encompass anything. A registry can also work as an electronic bulletin board in which the partners share information in a dynamic and ad hoc fashion. As described in the JAXR specification, information examples include generic event notification, price changes, discounts, and promotions.
What typical operations do registry-service clients perform? Submitting and storing shared information are important registry operations. Clients also need to complete various registry management operations, such as identifying, naming, describing, classifying, associating, grouping, and annotating registry metadata. Finally, clients also must be able to query, discover, and retrieve shared information from the registry and expect that a typical registry support most of these operations.
What is JAXR?
JAXR does not define a new registry standard. Instead, this standard Java API performs registry operations over a diverse set of registries and defines a unified information model for describing registry contents. Regardless of the registry provider accessed, your programs use common APIs and a common information model. The JAXR specification defines a general-purpose API, allowing any JAXR client to access and interoperate with any business registry accessible via a JAXR provider. In this sense, JAXR provides a Write Once, Run Anywhere API for registry operations, simplifying Web services development, integration, and portability.
JAXR's expert group wanted the API to support a union of the best features of UDDI and ebXML, rather than intersect common features. As described in the specification, JAXR is not a least common denominator API.
JAXR architecture
The JAXR architecture defines three important architectural roles:
- A registry provider implements an existing registry standard, such as the OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information)/ebXML Registry Services Specification 2.0.
- A JAXR provider offers an implementation of the JAXR specification approved by the Java Community Process (JCP) in May 2002. You can implement a JAXR provider as its own JAXR-compliant registry provider. However, you would more likely implement a JAXR provider as a façade around an existing registry provider, such as a UDDI or ebXML registry provider. Currently, the JAXR reference implementation 1.0 offers a JAXR UDDI provider implementation. A group of developers are developing an open source JAXR ebXML provider implementation at www.sourceforge.com.
- A JAXR client is a Java program that uses JAXR to access the registry provider via a JAXR provider. A JAXR client can be either a standalone J2SE (Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition) application or J2EE components, such as EJBs (Enterprise JavaBeans), Java Servlets, or JSPs (JavaServer Pages). The JAXR reference implementation also supplies one form of a JAXR client, a Swing-based registry browser application.
Figure 1 illustrates how diverse JAXR clients interoperate with diverse registries using JAXR. Architecturally, JAXR clients use the API to perform registry operations, while JAXR providers implement the API. Because JAXR offers a standard API for accessing diverse registry providers and a unified information model to describe registry contents, JAXR clients, whether HTML browsers, J2EE components, or standalone J2SE applications, can uniformly perform registry operations over various registry providers.
Figure 2 shows a high-level view of the JAXR architecture. The JAXR provider shown is a JAXR pluggable provider with underlying implementations of a UDDI-specific JAXR provider and an ebXML-specific provider. The JAXR provider exposes capability-specific methods to the JAXR client via the RegistryService
interface. The JAXR client queries the RegistryService
and discovers the provider capability level via the CapabilityProfile
interface. We discuss capabilities in the following section.
Before a JAXR client can invoke capability-level methods on the JAXR provider, it must connect to the provider. First the client obtains a ConnectionFactory
instance using the static method ConnectionFactory.newInstance()
. The ConnectionFactory
interface lets the client create the Connection
using its createConnection()
method. Note that the JAXR client connects with the JAXR provider, not the registry provider. The JAXR provider acts as a proxy on the client's behalf, directing and invoking methods on the appropriate registry provider. The connection maintains client state. In addition, the JAXR client dynamically sets its authentication information and communication preference on the connection any time during the connection's lifetime. Please refer to the code demonstrating how a JAXR client connects to a JAXR provider in the development examples later in the article.
After the JAXR client invokes JAXR capability-level methods, the JAXR provider transforms these methods into registry-specific methods and executes requests to the underlying registry providers. After the registry providers process the requests and return registry-specific results to the JAXR provider, the JAXR provider transforms the information into JAXR information model RegistryObject
s and returns them to the JAXR client. The RegistryObject
interface is an abstract interface that provides the common information such as key, name, and description for the more specialized JAXR information model interfaces. Note that the communication protocol between a JAXR provider and a registry provider is registry provider-specific and transparent to the JAXR client. For example, a JAXR provider communicates with the UDDI registry provider by exchanging basic SOAP messages, while the JAXR provider communicates with the ebXML registry provider through SOAP messaging or ebXML message service.
Capability profiles
Because some diversity exists among registry provider capabilities, the JAXR expert group decided to provide multilayer API abstractions through capability profiles. Each method of a JAXR interface is assigned a capability level, and those JAXR methods with the same capability level define the JAXR provider capability profile.
Currently, JAXR defines only two capability profiles: level 0 profile for basic features and level 1 profile for advanced features. Level 0's basic features support so-called business-focused APIs, while level 1's advanced features support generic APIs. At the minimum, all JAXR providers must implement a level 0 profile. A JAXR client application using only those methods of the level 0 profile can access any JAXR provider in a portable manner. JAXR providers for UDDI must be level 0 compliant.
JAXR providers can optionally support the level 1 profile. The methods assigned to this profile provide more advanced registry capabilities needed by more demanding JAXR clients. Support for the level 1 profile also implies full support for the level 0 profile. JAXR providers for ebXML must be level 1 compliant. A JAXR client can discover the capability level of a JAXR provider by invoking methods on the CapabilityProfile
interface. If the client attempts to invoke capability level methods unsupported by the JAXR provider, the provider will throw an UnsupportedCapabilityException
RegistryService interfaces
As mentioned in the previous section, the JAXR provider supports capability profiles that group the methods on JAXR interfaces by capability level. RegistryService
exposes the JAXR provider's key interfaces, that is, Web services discovery and registration. The JAXR client can obtain an instance of the RegistryService
interface by invoking the getRegistryService()
method on the connection established between the JAXR client and JAXR provider. Once the JAXR client has the RegistryService
, it can obtain the primary registry interfaces and perform life-cycle management and query management through the JAXR provider.
The JAXR specification defines two life-cycle management interfaces:
for level 0LifeCycleManager
for level 1
defines a simple business-level API for life-cycle management. This interface resembles the publisher's API in UDDI, which should prove familiar to the UDDI developer. For its part, LifeCycleManager
interface provides complete support for all life-cycle management needs using a generic API.
Life-cycle management includes creating, saving, updating, deprecating, and deleting registry objects. In addition, the LifeCycleManager
provides several factory methods to create JAXR information model objects. In general, life-cycle management operations are privileged, while a user can use query management operations for browsing the registry.
JAXR's top-level interface for query management, QueryManager
, has two extensions:
for level 0DeclarativeQueryManager
for level 1
Query management deals with querying the registry for registry data. A simple business-level API, the BusinessQueryManager
interface provides the ability to query for the most important high-level interfaces in the information model, such as Organization
s, Service
s, ServiceBinding
s, ClassificationScheme
s, and Concept
s. Alternatively, the DeclarativeQueryManager
interface provides a more flexible, generic API, enabling the JAXR client to perform ad hoc queries using a declarative query language syntax. Currently, the only declarative syntaxes JAXR supports are SQL-92 and OASIS/ebXML Registry Filter Queries. As noted in the JAXR specification, ebXML registry providers optionally support SQL queries. If a registry provider does support SQL queries, the JAXR ebXML provider will throw an UnsupportedCapabilityException
on DeclarativeQueryManager
JAXR information model
Invoking life-cycle and query management methods on the JAXR provider requires the JAXR client to create and use the JAXR information model objects. The JAXR information model resembles the one defined in the ebXML Registry Information Model 2.0, but also accommodates the data types defined in the UDDI Data Structure Specification. Although developers familiar with the UDDI information model might face a slight learning curve, once understood, the JAXR information model will provide a more intuitive and natural interface to most developers.
Most JAXR information-model interfaces are derived from the abstract RegistryObject
interface, which defines the common state information, called attributes, that all registry objects share. Example attributes include key, name, and description. The InternationalString
interface defines attributes that must be internationalization compatible, such as name and description. The InternationalString
interface contains a collection of LocalizedString
s, where each LocalizedString
defines locale, character set, and string content.
The RegistryObject
interface also defines collections of Classification
s, ExternalIdentifier
s, ExternalLink
s, and Association
s. The BusinessQueryManager
often uses those collections as parameters in its find methods.
Also specializations of the RegistryObject
interface, the concrete interfaces Organization
, Service
, ServiceBinding
, Concept
, and ClassificationScheme
provide additional state information. For example, the Organization
interface defines a collection of Service
s, and Service
defines a collection of ServiceBinding
s. A ServiceBinding
might contain a collection of SpecificationLink
s. UDDI developers should be familiar with these concrete interfaces; they map quite well to the five major UDDI data types shown in the table below.
The JAXR specification defines the following information model interfaces:
instances areRegistryObject
s that provide information on an organization that has been published to the underlying registry.Service
instances areRegistryObject
s that provide information on services (e.g., Web services) offered by anOrganization
. AnOrganization
can have a set ofServices
instances areRegistryObject
s that represent technical information on how to access a specific interface offered by aService
instance. AService
can have a collection ofServiceBinding
s.- A
links aServiceBinding
with its technical specifications that describe how to use the service. For example, aServiceBinding
might haveSpecificationLink
instances that describe how to access the service using a technical specification in the form of a WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document or a CORBA IDL (interface definition language) document. - A
instance represents a taxonomy that you can use to classify or categorizeRegistryObject
instances. Classification
instances classify aRegistryObject
instance using a classification scheme. Because classification facilitates rapid discovery ofRegistryObject
s within the registry, the ability to classifyRegistryObject
s in a registry is one of the registry's most significant features.- A
instance represents an arbitrary notion, or concept. It can be virtually anything. Association
instances define many-to-many associations between objects in the information model.RegistryPackage
instances group together logically relatedRegistryObject
s. ARegistryPackage
might contain any number ofRegistryObject
s, and aRegistryObject
can be a member of any number ofRegistryPackage
instances provide identification information to aRegistryObject
. You can base such identification on well-known identification schemes such as DUNS (D&B's Data Universal Numbering System) number and social security number.ExternalLink
instances provide a link to content managed outside the registry using a URI (uniform resource identifier).Slot
instances dynamically add arbitrary attributes toRegistryObject
instances at runtime, an ability that enables extensibility within the information model.- Most interfaces in the JAXR information model implement the
interface. It provides methods that allow the addition, deletion, and lookup ofSlot
instances. AuditableEvent
instances areRegistryObject
s that provide an audit trail forRegistryObject
s.- Affiliated with
instances areRegistryObject
s that provide information about registered users within the registry. You useUser
objects in aRegistryObject
's audit trail. PostalAddress
defines a postal address's attributes. Currently, it provides address information for aUser
and anOrganization
Develop with JAXR
Now that you've learned the technical details, let's start developing with the API. In the following sections, we present several coding examples that complete the following tasks:
- Establish a connection between a JAXR client and JAXR provider
- Registry operation: Find an organization
- Registry operation: Get organization details
- Registry operation: Publishing
Establish a connection between a JAXR client and JAXR provider
As mentioned previously, the JAXR client must first connect to the JAXR provider. This connection contains the client state and preference information used when the JAXR provider invokes methods on the registry provider.
Before executing any registry operation, a JAXR client connects with a JAXR provider as shown in the following code. If the JAXR client wishes to submit data to the registry, the client must set authentication information on the connection. Note that the establishment of this authentication information with the registry provider is registry-provider specific and negotiated between the registry provider and the publishing user, often in the form of a Web-based interface. Note: The user does not use the JAXR API to negotiate and establish an account with the registry provider. After establishing a connection, the JAXR client can obtain RegistryService
interfaces for Web services discovery and publishing. Those familiar with UDDI will recognize that this example obtains the business-focused APIs, the BusinessLifeCycleManager
and the BusinessQueryManager
, to perform registry operations shown in later examples:
/** * Establish a connection to a JAXR provider. * Set authentication information, communication preference. * Get business-focused discovery and publish interfaces. */ public void makeConnection() { // URLs for RegistryServer included in Java Web Services Developer Pack String queryURL ="http://localhost:8080/registry-server/RegistryServerServlet"; String publishURL ="http://localhost:8080/registry-server/RegistryServerServlet"; /* * Define connection configuration properties. * For simple queries, you need the query URL. * To use a life-cycle manager, you need the publish URL. */ Properties props = new Properties(); props.setProperty("javax.xml.registry.queryManagerURL", queryUrl); props.setProperty("javax.xml.registry.lifeCycleManagerURL", publishUrl); try { // Create the connection, passing it the configuration properties ConnectionFactory factory = ConnectionFactory.newInstance(); factory.setProperties(props); connection = factory.createConnection(); System.out.println("Created connection to registry"); // Get registry service and managers RegistryService rs = connection.getRegistryService(); // Get the capability profile CapabilityProfile capabilityProfile = registryService.getCapabilityProfile(); if (capabilityProfile.getCapabilityLevel() == 0) System.out.println("Capability Level 0, Business Focused API"); // Get manager capabilities from registry service BusinessQueryManager bqm = rs.getBusinessQueryManager(); BusinessLifeCycleManager blcm = rs.getBusinessLifeCycleManager(); System.out.println("Got registry service, query " + "manager, and lifecycle manager"); // Set client authorization information for privileged registry operations PasswordAuthentication passwdAuth = new PasswordAuthentication(username, password.toCharArray()); Set creds = new HashSet(); creds.add(passwdAuth); // Set credentials on the JAXR provider connection.setCredentials(creds); System.out.println("Established security credentials"); // Set communication preference connection.setSynchronous(true); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); if (connection != null) { try { connection.close(); } catch (JAXRException je) {} } } }
Registry operation: Find an organization
Now that the JAXR client has established a connection with the JAXR provider and obtained the BusinessQueryManager
and BusinessLifeCycleManager
from the RegistryService
interface, the client can now invoke methods on these interfaces. Often, a JAXR client will wish to discover the services an organization offers. To do so, the JAXR client would invoke methods on the BusinessQueryManager
. An example use case might be the following:
A user browsing the UDDI registry wishes to find an organization that provides services of the NAICS (North American Industry Classification System) type Computer Systems Design and Related Services in the United States. To perform this query with JAXR, the user would invoke a findOrganization()
method with classification listed under the well-known taxonomies NAICS and ISO 3166 Geographic Code System (ISO 3166). As JAXR provides a taxonomy service for these classifications, the client can easily access the classification information needed to be passed as findOrganization()
parameters. A sample of this query to the taxonomy service and registry follows below:
public void findOrganizations() throws JAXRException { // Search criteria -- Organizations found will return in this sort order Collection findQualifiers = new ArrayList(); findQualifiers.add(FindQualifier.SORT_BY_NAME_DESC); // Query the JAXR taxonomy service ClassificationScheme naics = businessQueryManager.findClassificationSchemeByName(findQualifiers, "ntis-gov:naics:1997"); // Create the classification that will be a parameter to findOrganization() method Classification computerSystemsDesign = businessLifeCycleManager.createClassification (naics, "Computer Systems Design and Related Services", "5415"); // Query the taxonomy service ClassificationScheme geography = businessQueryManager.findClassificationSchemeByName (findQualifiers,"iso-ch:3166:1999"); // Create the classification passed as a parameter to findOrganization() method. Classification us = businessLifeCycleManager.createClassification(geography, "United States", "US"); // Add classifications to the classifications collection parameter Collection classifications = new ArrayList(); classifications.add(computerSystemsDesign); classifications.add(us); // Invoke the findOrganizations() method on BusinessQueryManager BulkResponse bulkResponse = businessQueryManager.findOrganizations(findQualifiers, null, classifications, null, null, null); if (bulkResponse.getStatus() == JAXRResponse.STATUS_SUCCESS) { System.out.println("Found Organization located in the United States categorized Computer Systems Design and Related Service"); } }
Most calls invoked on the registry provider via the JAXR provider return a BulkResponse
that contains any registry exceptions encountered and a collection of concrete RegistryObject
s or RegistryObject
keys. To ensure that a registry invocation always returns a response, any exceptions generated by the registry provider are wrapped in a RegistryException
and stored in the BulkResponse
's exceptions collection. In the case of find methods, any RegistryObject
s found are contained in the BulkResponse
Registry operation: Get organization details
For the above findOrganization()
method, the BulkResponse
contains a collection of Organization
s found in the registry provider that match the classifications passed as parameters to the method. However, these Organization
s provide limited information about the Organization
and its Service
s such as key, name, and description. Another value-added feature of JAXR is the incremental loading of RegistryObject
details. For instance, in the case of a JAXR UDDI provider, a JAXR findOrganization()
method transforms to a UDDI find_Business
request. After invocation, the find_Business
request returns minimal business and service information such as ID, name, and description. Using UDDI APIs, a UDDI client would need to make an additional call such as get_BusinessDetail()
to retrieve the organization details. With JAXR, the JAXR UDDI provider performs this invocation to the registry provider on an as-needed basis. The JAXR client can access Organization
and other RegistryObject
details by using the get methods on the JAXR information model interfaces. The getOrganizationDetail()
method demonstrates how a JAXR client would obtain full Organization
public void getOrganizationDetail(BulkResponse bulkResponse) throws JAXRException { // Get a collection of Organizations from BulkResponse Collection organizations = bulkResponse.getCollection(); // Iterate through the collection to get an individual Organization Iterator orgIter = organizations.iterator(); while (orgIter.hasNext()) { Organization organization = (Organization)orgIter.next(); // Get a collection of Services from an Organization Collection services = organization.getServices(); // Iterate through the collection to get an individual Service Iterator serviceIter = services.iterator(); while (serviceIter.hasNext()) { Service service = (Service)serviceIter.next(); // Get a collection of ServiceBindings from a Service Collection serviceBindings = service.getServiceBindings(); // Iterate through the collection to get an individual ServiceBinding Iterator sbIter = serviceBindings.iterator(); while (sbIter.hasNext()) { ServiceBinding serviceBinding = (ServiceBinding)sbIter.next(); // Get URI of the service. You can access the service through this URI. String accessURI = serviceBinding.getAccessURI(); System.out.println("Access the service " + service.getName().getValue() + " at this URI " + accessURI); // Get a collection of SpecificationLinks from a ServiceBinding. // SpecificationLinks provide further technical details needed to access the service. Collection specificationLinks = serviceBinding.getSpecificationLinks(); // Iterate through the collection to get an individual SpecificationLink Iterator linkIter = specificationLinks.iterator(); while (linkIter.hasNext()) { SpecificationLink specificationLink = (SpecificationLink)linkIter.next(); // Get a collection of ExternalLinks from SpecificationLink // An ExternalLink points to technical detail necessary to invoke the service Collection externalLinks = specificationLink.getExternalLinks(); // Iterate through the collection to get an ExternalLink Iterator elinkIter = externalLinks.iterator(); while (elinkIter.hasNext()) { ExternalLink externalLink = (ExternalLink)elinkIter.next(); // The externalURI is the pointer to the technical details // necessary to invoke the service String externalURI = externalLink.getExternalURI(); System.out.println(" Use the technical detail at this URI, " + externalURI + " to invoke the service, " + service.getName().getValue()); } // Obtain usage description InternationalString usageDescription = specificationLink.getUsageDescription(); // Any parameters necessary to invoke service are in usageParameter collection Collection usageParameters = specificationLink. getUsageParameters(); // Get the specification concept from the specification link // This specificationConcept is equivalent to the tModel registered as the technical specification Concept specificationConcept = (Concept) specificationLink.getSpecificationObject(); } } } }
Registry operation: Publishing
The JAXR client also publishes Web services, another important registry operation. In addition to discovering partner organization information and services, an organization will want to register its information and services in the registry for partner use. If a JAXR client wishes to publish an organization and its services to a registry, the client uses the LifeCycleManager
or the more focused BusinessLifeCycleManager
. Clients familiar with UDDI should use the BusinessLifeCycleManager
, which provides methods for saving information to the registry provider. Since this is a privileged operation, the user must set authentication information on the JAXR connection. Note that the JAXR provider, not the JAXR client, performs authentication with the registry provider. The JAXR provider negotiates this authentication with the registry provider on an as-needed basis, and the authentication is completely transparent to the JAXR client.
Suppose the organization Fly Away Airline Travel Agents has a Web-based airline reservation service that its partner travel agencies must be able to use. The following code creates such a business and saves it to the registry. The business has contact information, a set of services it offers, and technical information for accessing those services:
public void saveOrganization() throws JAXRException { // Create Organization in memory Organization org = businessLifeCycleManager.createOrganization ("Fly Away Airline Travel Agents"); // Create User -- maps to Contact for UDDI User user = businessLifeCycleManager.createUser(); PersonName personName = businessLifeCycleManager.createPersonName("Marie A Traveler"); TelephoneNumber telephoneNumber = businessLifeCycleManager.createTelephoneNumber(); telephoneNumber.setNumber("781-333-3333"); telephoneNumber.setType("office"); Collection numbers = new ArrayList(); numbers.add(telephoneNumber); EmailAddress email = businessLifeCycleManager.createEmailAddress("firstname.lastname@example.com", "office"); Collection emailAddresses = new ArrayList(); emailAddresses.add(email); user.setPersonName(personName); Collection telephoneNumbers = new ArrayList(); telephoneNumbers.add(telephoneNumber); user.setTelephoneNumbers(telephoneNumbers); user.setEmailAddresses(emailAddresses); org.setPrimaryContact(user); // Create service with service name and description Service service = businessLifeCycleManager.createService("Fly Away Airline Reservation Service"); service.setDescription(businessLifeCycleManager.createInternationalString("Flight Reservation Service")); // Create serviceBinding ServiceBinding serviceBinding = businessLifeCycleManager.createServiceBinding(); serviceBinding.setDescription(businessLifeCycleManager.createInternationalString ("Information for airline reservation service access")); //Turn validation of URI off serviceBinding.setValidateURI(false); serviceBinding.setAccessURI("http://www.airlinetravel.com:8080/ services.reservations.html"); // Create the SpecificationLink information SpecificationLink specificationLink = businessLifeCycleManager.createSpecificationLink(); // Set usage description specificationLink.setUsageDescription(businessLifeCycleManager. createInternationalString("Search for Reservations when prompted")); String usageParameter = "Enter travel agent id when prompted"; Collection usageParameters = new ArrayList(); usageParameters.add(usageParameter); // Set usage parameters specificationLink.setUsageParameters(usageParameters); // Set specificationConcept on the specificationLink Concept httpSpecificationConcept = (Concept) businessLifeCycleManager.createObject(businessLifeCycleManager.CONCEPT); Key httpSpecificationKey = businessLifeCycleManager.createKey("uuid:68de9e80-ad09-469d-8a37-088422bfbc36"); httpSpecificationConcept.setKey(httpSpecificationKey); specificationLink.setSpecificationObject(httpSpecificationConcept); // Add the specificationLink to the serviceBinding serviceBinding.addSpecificationLink(specificationLink); // Add the serviceBinding to the service service.addServiceBinding(serviceBinding); // Add the service to the organization org.addService(service); // Add classifications to the organization ClassificationScheme naics = businessQueryManager.findClassificationSchemeByName(null, "ntis-gov:naics"); Classification classification = businessLifeCycleManager.createClassification (naics, "Air Transportation", "481"); org.addClassification(classification); Collection orgs = new ArrayList(); orgs.add(org); BulkResponse br = businessLifeCycleManager.saveOrganizations(orgs); if (br.getStatus() == JAXRResponse.STATUS_SUCCESS) { System.out.println("Successfully saved the " + " organization to the registry provider ."); } }
JAXR implementations
We know you will want to get started developing Web service applications using JAXR, perhaps using the programming examples shown above. How do you get JAXR implementations? A typical JAXR implementation comes with three software modules: a registry provider designed for a particular registry specification, like UDDI or ebXML; a JAXR provider for a particular registry provider; and a registry browser.
Currently two JAXR provider implementations are available for use with current UDDI and ebXML registry providers. The JWSDP 1.0 includes the JAXR 1.0 reference implementation that consists of a UDDI Version 2.0 JAXR provider, a UDDI 2.0 RegistryServer
, and registry browser. As mentioned previously, the open source community is currently developing an ebXML 2.0 JAXR provider and an ebXML 2.0 registry. Figure 3 shows the registry browser that comes with the JAXR reference implementation; you can use the browser to add organizations and their categorized services to a UDDI registry provider.
Get started developing Web services
JAXR provides a standard Java API and unified information model for performing registry operations over diverse registry providers, especially over the UDDI and ebXML registry providers. Typical registry operations include publication and discovery of Web services. To accommodate various functionalities from different registry providers, JAXR offers a layered architecture, where capabilities are grouped as a capability profile. A level 0 capability profile provides a simple, yet focused and high-level business API, while a level 1 capability profile provides a flexible, low-level, and generic API. You should familiarize yourself with JAXR, as it will become an important part of J2EE 1.4, the Java-based platform for Web services development and deployment.

Very beautiful color. Pretty pale pink. Works great on my darker skin tone but just have to be soft-handed with the application.

I am pretty sure this is Nars' best seller right here. The amount of people who just rave about this lipgloss are pretty much everywhere. Also a few gurus adore this as well so I had to see it and once I tried it on at Sephora I knew it had to be mine. I really like it. Of course it's sticky, it's lipgloss how could it not be? But it's not sticky and thick and gross like some lipgloss. It's smooth and has a really muted color that is pink but not like whoa pink. I really like it. I need to have more faith in other people's reviews of things, this proved to me that things tend to be well loved and popular for a reason.

Turkish Delight is not what it appears to be. It is a very soft, creamy, white-pink color in the tube. I have pigmented lips but once I put this gloss on it mutes the color of my lips but not in a foundation kind of way. It is a very sexy, plump, whitish lip. I also love that this has absolutely no sparkles. Its a matt-gloss. I love to wear it over a cool toned pink (Nars Sabrina or Mac Angel) but you could use it with any lipstick to give your lips a sexy kick. I am forever checking to make sure they still have it so that if I ever run out I can get another one, but I never seem to run out. I love this gloss. Definitely give this a try. Put it on your lips, walk around for a while then take a look. You will love it too.

I really like this gloss. I was sold after hearing Cassie(the singer) & Kim Kardashian say it was one of their fav products from Nars, then also seeing it in my Glamour mag as the readers top fav. I bought the gift set that Sephora was selling for christmas since i wanted to try some of the other colors, but I've been wearing this the most. I thought Orgasm was my fav but now this one is.

I disagree with the review below saying this only looks good on paler girls. I'm really tan and it looks great on me paired with a smokey eye. No matter what skin color you are you should try it! It's a really pretty nude color without being too shocking. It's great to layer on top and tone down really bright lipsticks too.

LOVE this lip gloss. I think it's the one lip gloss I've ever worn that didn't dry out and leave my lips gunky (yeah, you know what I'm talkin' about).
It feels moisturizing and it lasts a really long time without having to give a touch up. It's also very creamy and not sticky at all. I am happy with the packaging because I'm a fan of sponge-tip applicators.
As for the color, I really love it. I'm a pink lip gloss-aholic, so this is an ideal shade for me. If you don't like girly pinks, then this isn't for you.
Overall, this is one of my top 5 favorite lip glosses not only because the formula is great, but the color is gorgeous too.

I love this lip-gloss. I needed something simple and pretty to wear to school, and this was the gloss for me! I'm actually running out, I'm using so much. The only main downside is how expensive it is.

I am surprised by so many negative reviews on here. I happen to love this color. It is a very milky pink that looks great paired with a smoky eye. I will say that it does show if your lips are a little chapped/flaky - but so do most nude lipglosses. I solve this by applying lip balm or vaseline first, the downside is it goes on sheerer this way and not so opaque.....
This color shows up just like the tube on my lips (think Kim Kardashian's classic look), but I am also NW25, so fair and cool-toned and what works for me looks atrocious on most, i.e. silvery plum lippies. I think its a little unfair to be taking off so many points for the color. It does have good color payoff, the shade just does not work for the lovely olive-skinned ladies out there... This is why I dont rate copper, bronzey, orangey shades of makeup because I know they do not look good on me at all and it would not be right to rate it poorly because I cant pull off that shade - Know what works for you.

Dame Penelope Anne Constance Keith, DBE, DL (née Hatfield, married name Timson, born 2 April 1940) is an English actress, best known for her roles in the British sitcoms The Good Life and To the Manor Born.
She began her career in repertory theatre before joining the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1963 and was a mainstay in the success of the Chichester Festival Theatre. Her theatre credits include Michael Frayn's The Norman Conquests in 1974 and Alan Ayckbourn's Donkey's Years in 1975, for which she won the Olivier Award for Best Comedy Performance.
Having started her television career in the 1960s, she became a household name in the UK in the 1970s, when she played Margot Leadbetter in the sitcom The Good Life (1975-1978), winning the BAFTA TV Award for Best Light Entertainment Performance in 1977. In 1978, she won the BAFTA TV Award for Best Actress for the television adaptation of The Norman Conquests. She then starred as Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in the BBC series, To the Manor Born (1979-1981), a show that received audiences of more than 20 million. In the 1980s and 1990s, she appeared as the lead character in six other comedy series.
Since the late 1990s, she has worked mainly in the theatre, including Keith Waterstone's Good Grief (1998), Noël Coward's Blithe Spirit (2004), Richard Everett's Entertaining Angels (2006) and as Lady Bracknell in Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest (2007).
She succeeded Lord Olivier as president of the Actors' Benevolent Fund after his death in 1989. She was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1990, Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 2007, and Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to the arts and to charity.[1]
Keith was born in Sutton in 1940.[2] Her father, who was a Major by the end of World War II, left her mother Connie when she was a baby, and Keith spent her early years in Clacton-on-Sea and Clapham. Her great uncle, John Gurney, was a partner in the coachbuilding firm J. Gurney Nutting & Company Ltd and Keith recalls sitting in the Prince of Wales's car. [3]
Although not a Roman Catholic, at the age of six she was sent to a Catholic boarding school in Seaford.[4] It was here that a young Keith first became interested in acting,[2] and frequently went to matinees in the West End with her mother. When she was eight years old, her mother remarried and Penelope adopted her stepfather's surname of Keith. While she did not get on with her stepfather, her mother was a "rock of love" to her. She was rejected from the Central School of Speech and Drama, on the grounds that, at 5'10", she was too tall. However, she was then accepted at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art, and spent two years there while working at the Hyde Park Hotel in the evening.[5]
She began her career working in repertory theatre across the UK, including Lincoln, Manchester and Salisbury. Keith's earliest appearances were in The Tunnel of Love, Gigi and Flowering Cherry. In 1963, she joined the Royal Shakespeare Company both in Stratford and at the Aldwych Theatre in London.[4]
She started her television career in programmes such as The Army Game, Dixon of Dock Green, Wild, Wild Women and The Avengers.[4] In the early 1970s, she appeared in The Morecambe & Wise Show, Ghost Story and The Pallisers. Her film appearances during this time included Every Home Should Have One, Take A Girl Like You, Rentadick and Penny Gold. In 1967, she had a minor role in Carry On Doctor, but the scene was cut from the final edit.[4][6]
Her best known theatre appearance, in 1974, was playing Sarah in The Norman Conquests, opposite Richard Briers, her co-star in The Good Life. Keith and Briers would often film The Good Life during the day and perform on stage in the West End in the evening.[4][7]
Penelope Keith achieved popular fame in 1975 when the BBC sitcom The Good Life began. In the first episode, she was only heard and not seen in her role as Margo Leadbetter, but as the episodes and series went on, the scope of her role increased. In 1977, Keith won a BAFTA award for 'Best Comedy Performer' for her role of Margo Leadbetter.
From 1979–81, she played the lead role of Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in the TV series To the Manor Born. Following To the Manor Born, Keith has appeared in six other sitcoms as the main lead: Sweet Sixteen, Moving, Executive Stress, No Job for a Lady, Law and Disorder and Next of Kin. She also had the starring role in a TV adaptation of Agatha Christie's play Spider's Web. She won a second BAFTA award as 'Best Actress' in 1978 for The Norman Conquests. In 1982 Keith starred in a TV production of Frederick Lonsdale's On Approval. In 1988, she hosted one series of the ITV panel show What's My Line?, following the death of its original presenter, Eamonn Andrews. She had a featured role in the 1998 ITV serial Coming Home.[citation needed]
Keith has regularly appeared on stage, taking the classics and new plays across the country. These include Shakespeare, Shaw, Sheridan, Wilde, Rattigan and Congreve. She played Lorraine in Noël Coward's Star Quality, while in 2004 she played Madame Arcati in Coward's Blithe Spirit at the Savoy Theatre. In 2004, Keith starred in the first of 5 full-cast BBC radio dramatisations of M.C. Beaton's Agatha Raisin novels, playing the title role. Two years later, she appeared at the Chichester Festival in the premiere of Richard Everett's comedy Entertaining Angels, which she later took on tour.
In 2007, she played the part of Lady Bracknell in The Importance of Being Earnest on tour, which transferred to the West End in 2008, at the Vaudeville Theatre.[citation needed] She has voiced adverts including ones for Pimm's, Lurpak, Tesco and, most famously, The Parker Pen Company, which was named one of the 100 Greatest Adverts in a Channel 4 programme. In 2012, she starred in Keith Waterstone's Good Grief, having previously appeared in the play'a premier production in 1998.[citation needed]
In 1997, she provided the voice of the narrator for Teletubbies, and also starred in the radio adaptations of To the Manor Born. In 2003, she appeared opposite June Brown in the television film Margery and Gladys. In 2007, she starred in a one-off To the Manor Born Christmas Special,[8]
In 2009 she presented Penelope Keith and the Fast Lady, a one-off documentary for BBC Four about Dorothy Levitt, the Edwardian motoring pioneer. She returned to television in 2011 presenting the four-part BBC documentary The Manor Reborn.[9][10]
In 1978, the year The Good Life ended, she married Rodney Timson, a policeman. They had met while he was on duty at Chichester Theatre where Keith was performing.[7] Timson, who is four years her junior, had been married twice before.[7] They adopted two children.[2]
Keith and Timson live in Milford, Surrey. Keith has a great passion for gardening. In 1984, she had a rose named after her.[4][12] Penelope Keith has been President of the Actors' Benevolent Fund since 1990, taking over after the death of Lord Olivier, and is president of the South West Surrey National Trust.[13]
Her wide ranging long-term contributions to the public good and to charitable endeavours include main groups of veterans, crime reduction and welfare for people and for animals. Limelight was left behind in her hands-on and personal involvement. For over twenty years her vision, leadership and care have helped the Actors Benevolent Fund provide £400,000 a year in grants and allowances. Her vital assistance to the Armed Services Memorial at the National Arboretum saved ministerial embarrassment and more importantly helped the success of a loved place of national remembrance. She has not feared difficult causes. For ten years she has been continuously involved in KEEPOUT, the HMPs Coldingley and Send initiative to interrupt the succession of young offending, helping existing offenders to give back something of value to the community. She has been much more than a figurehead over 15 years for TRANSFORM, providing accommodation and support to vulnerable people across Surrey.
On 2 April 2002, her 62nd birthday, she began a one-year term as High Sheriff of Surrey,[14] the third woman to hold the post. She is also a Deputy Lieutenant of Surrey.[15][16]
She was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 1990 New Year Honours,[17] and was promoted to a Commander (CBE) in the 2007 New Year Honours for "charitable services".[2][18] In the 2014 New Year Honours, she became a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for services to the Arts and to Charity.[19]

January 24th, 2013
Beyonce has been making headlines because people are trying to dissect and assess whether or not she lip-synched singing the national anthem at President Obama's inauguration. We're now reading reports that say that Beyonce did use a backing track while singing and "she didn't think there was anything wrong with it," a source from Us Weekly explained. "Pavarotti has done it! It was freezing out, and if she messed up just one note, that would have been the story." Other factors supporting using the back track have also been thrown into the discussion such as temperature affecting the throat of a singer, as Aretha Franklin told ABC, "the weather down there was about 46 or 44 degrees and for most singers that is just not good singing weather."
Can we just drop it people? Let's see you sing the national anthem in front of an audience that is estimated at a million attendees, not to mention the millions at home in the United States, and all over the world. Personally, that's a lot of pressure, even for the Queen Bey. Let's cut her some slack, shall we? What's the alternative? Beyonce screwing up and she becoming an international laughing stock? Beyonce's paid her dues! It was a grand performance and she has had many live performances to prove herself worthy to sing for the president. Let's leave it at that and remind ourselves that at least we don't look like this guy.
Beyonce will be performing at the 2013 Brit Awards, be sure to tune into MUCH when we air it on Wednesday, February 20 at 10E/7P.

The Eternals formed during the late '50s, in the Freeman Street neighborhood of the Bronx, where the quintet -- Charlie Gerona on lead, Fred Hodge on first tenor, Ernie Sierra on second tenor, Arnie Torres on baritone, and Alex Miranda on bass -- started out singing in junior high school as the Gleamers, cutting their teeth on covers by the Flamingoes and the Spaniels; Gerona, meanwhile, was crafting songs in the humorous pop tradition of the Coasters, the Cadets, and the Olympics. Soon the Gleamers were calling themselves the Orbits, and developing a sound all their own. A novelty Gerona penned for the holidays, "Christmas in the Jungle," which came complete with jungle sounds and bird calls (mostly done by Torres) received airplay from the Murray the K and WABC's disc jockey Bruce Morrow's shows and soon became their calling card.
Their new manager, Bill Martin, a friend of Morrow's, then turned them on to Melba Records chief Morty Craft, who put the group in Beltone Studios in late spring of 1959 to record the song, which by now had been changed to "Rockin' in the Jungle." The group also felt that a new name was in order and crowned themselves the Eternals, no doubt hoping for everlasting success. "Rockin' in the Jungle" was released in early summer on Craft's new Hollywood Records label, becoming an immediate hit in New York (number 11 locally). On July 13th, the song hit Billboard's national Pop Charts, where it lodged at number 78. The Eternals' second novelty release -- "Babalu's Wedding Day" -- was just starting to break, when the Etemals' manager felt compelled to sue shady booking agents who were apparently attempting a less-than-ethical move on the group. As a result of the court case, "Babalu's" distribution was stopped and the Eternals were denied their shot at stardom. (The single became a jingle on WABC disc jockey Bob Lewis' radio show and helped kept the group's image alive for years to come).
In January 1961, the Eternals' last single was issued through Morty Craft's Warwick Records. The A-side was written by new member George Villanueva, who also sang lead, and should have been a hit but more legal entanglements kept the record from charting. The group disbanded in 1962, but by 1972 they re-emerged for a show at the Academy of Music (the lineup now featured Ernie Sierra, George Villanueva, Arnie Torres, Richard Sierra, and Hector Garcia). Another lineup -- Sierra, Villanueva, Herman Velez, Tito Santiago, and Freddie Clavel -- are still going strong today on the oldies circuit. ~ Bryan Thomas, Rovi

In the past I have looked at several lost cinemas, but there are still a lot I had not touched upon yet. Time to continue with my journey to the past, this time with Cineac NRC cinema which was located at the Coolsingel, next to department store Bijenkorf. Pathé started the Cineac cinemas to show the latest news. It was shown constantly and visitors would be able to stay there as long as they wanted. With the slogan "A journey around the world in 50 minutes!" it tried to lure them in.

The Lost Cinemas of Rotterdam: Lumière
My journey through cinema history continues this week with cinema Lumière. It was located on the crossing of the Lijnbaan and Kruiskade. It opened its doors on the 27th of january 1955 and was renovated in 1974, with 3 screening rooms (a total of 1279 seats). In 1988 it again was changed and another screening room was added. Continue reading
The Lost Cinemas of Rotterdam: Oscar
In this series I take a look at cinemas in Rotterdam that have closed down. This week it's the Oscar cinema. It opened in the centre of Rotterdam in 1975 at the Meent and closed it's doors in 1989 and had 215 seats.
What surprised me though is that I didn't know it existed even though I could have walked past it when I was younger. I asked my parents and other people about this, but no one could remember it. It was the one where the original location eluded me. I had an idea of its location, but no one could confirm it. I came into contact with someone who's grandmother used to work there, but even he couldn't pinpoint where it was after I sent him some pictures. It took me two weeks of research to finally track it down and once I thought I found the location I couldn't wait to see if I was right. Continue reading
The Lost Cinemas of Rotterdam: Alhambra
My search for cinemas that were lost to time continues. This week with the Alhambra cinema, which opened in 1979 and closed in 1995, had 195 seats and was located on the Coolsingel. It's a cinema I do remember because it was converted to a "riskbioscoop", which meant that it showed older movies which you could watch for just 2 and a half guilder (which would be around 1 euro 10). As a teenager it meant a very cheap way to get out of the house and watch a movie and I would be there often. Continue reading
The lost cinemas of Rotterdam: Centraal
Back in October last year one of the Monday questions was about the first movie you saw at the cinema. I remembered the movie and the location of the cinema, but not what the name was. It was the start of journey into the history of cinemas in Rotterdam. I bought the book "Fantasy, Illusion and enchantment: Memories of cinemas in Rotterdam" by Herman Romer and found out more about the rich cinema history the city I was born and grew up in has. Henk Berg has also written a great book about the subject. In this new series I literally look into that history (using information out of their books as a source), one cinema at a time, starting with "Centraal", which gave me my first movie going experience.

Falcon Ridge Airpark to auction off lots
YAKIMA, Wash. – A real estate auction isn't always a good thing, unless it is. Too often we read of foreclosure auctions in the press. Well, the Falcon Ridge Airpark auction isn't one them.
Back to that in a minute.
Airpark developer Russ Wilkinson bought 64 (of 84) unsold lots in a real estate development west of Yakima back in the summer of 1995. The development, originally developed in the 1970s and early 1980s, had only sold 20 lots and was falling into disrepair.

Is it true that you can't get pregnant while you're breastfeeding? I'm currently breastfeeding my baby and my husband and I aren't using any sort of protection. Thanks! - Marisol
Breastfeeding naturally suppresses the hormones needed for ovulation, so it is possible to use breastfeeding as an effective form of birth control.
But this only works if you haven't gotten your period yet, your son is less than 6 months old, and you adhere to the following feeding guidelines:
Strictly following these rules might be difficult, so if you're not able to do so, choose another form of birth control to prevent pregnancy.
If you are able to follow these guidelines, you will still need to choose another form of birth control once your baby turns 6 months old. Some forms of birth control can decrease your milk supply, so ask your health care provider which options are best for you.

Cadillac had 2 V-16 models of cars on the drawing board, custom coaches. One was a 1934, the other a 1937 model. They were built about 50 years later. What model numbers were they and what did they fetch at an auction this year? Whom (2 people) had these cars built?
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain |
They were 452/90's
The 1934 fetched $1,001,000 The 1937 fetched $962,500 The 1934 was built for Fran Roxas The 1937 was built for Bob Milhous Interestingly enough there was a second 1934 V-16 452/90 built after Roxas car was built with the main differences being shortened front door to accommodate a small door for stowing a set of golf clubs. This car is owned by Steve Plunkett |
Booth, you are good! By any chance do you get Hemmings Collector Car magazine? I thought this was going to be tough! Your turn.
"When I was younger, I could remember anything, whether it had happened or not." - Mark Twain |
Nope , I haven't read a Hemmings for awhile. My brains full of junk. I remember bits and pieces and can figure things out.
one of the neat things about those two Caddies is that they were both fabricated by the same guy! Scott Knight, a CA. boy! Here is a easy one. I found this at a swap meet years ago. I got it for 50 cents because they didn't know what it was and I wouldn't tell them unless I got it for half a buck. I got it so I could shove it in peoples faces and say, "Yeah, I betcha you don't know what this is!" |

Culinaire International Interview Questions

Getting an Interview
Getting an Interview
Interview Difficulty
- Application Details
I applied through other source. The process took 2 days – interviewed at Culinaire International in September 2009.
Interview DetailsInitially interviewed, turned down the role, then a year later was contacted again about a different role. The initial contact (second time) was via e-mail, then phone, then in person. Multiple interviews were done which is why it was a two week process before an offer was made. The interviewers were all professional and seemed excited about working for this company.
My advice to anyone interviewing is ask some hard questions. Get to know the company culture to ensure that you fit in. Some people do fit into this corporate or local culture, others will not. Ask a lot of questions and see if you can spend time shadowing the role (or another role) before accepting the position.Interview Questions- Are you willing to work non-traditional hours? Answer Question
Negotiation DetailsNegotiation was straightforward and fairly easy to navigate through. My advice, go in knowing what your low number is and make sure you stick to it if you know it is fair.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
