Singapore Project: "J2EE Version 2 Re-architecture in Weblogic 9.2"
Jan'06 - Jan'07 Tools: WebLogic 9.2, Ajax, JSF, JRules, SOA, WS, Spring, Hybernate

Lead Architect of the J2EE re-architecture of the entire Strategem Enterprise system. Transferred the CRM / Customer Care MySQL and MS-SQL databases to Oracle and checked the existing Oracle Functional DB, transforming some trigger-based relationships into declarative-integrity constraints. Reverse-engineered the C++ code base and generated JavaDoc-type of documentation to prepare it for the J2EE transfer. Isolated and optimized the SQL Statements (SQL Optimizer for Oracle 10g and TOAD 9.0).

Reviewed the existing CORBA Architecture and designed 3 prototypes for Resource-Contention and Synchronization performance issues in the C++ servers - via CORBA Event Service, via STL Queue, and via Observer Pattern, geared towards elimination of both the resource-locking and synchronized call-waiting in order to ease the performance pressure during the transition to J2EE.

Prepared prototypes (cornerstone apps) in the new Weblogic 9.2 environment (both Eclipse-bsed and Studio-based). Tangosol Coherence prototype using the Cache and Session-replication facilities with alternative caching using the OSCache for the JSPs. Lead the Architecture Prototypes and the Best Practices documents for Weblogic development. Using the DAL and SAL layers of DevCode, lead alternative prototypes for DB and Service isolation layers.

Prototyped an out-of-portal portal, based on Jsf/Ajax/Spring with native Struts (rather than the one built-in the Weblogic environment) as well as Jsf/Facelets/Struts approach (using the new Exadel Studio 3.6). Reserached the possibilities for using Ajax-aware JSF components in the WL Portal 9.2 (via the opensourse Ajax4Jsf tags) and the new Weblogic 9.2 Studio.

Prepraed a Java Robot in Swing with Substance Look-and-feel capturing all activities from all the cliens and reserched the possibilities for (and prototyped) the Rule-based AI-moduels involved (both in Prolog and JRules).

Executed sample performance testing of the Java prototypes with JProbe 6.0 and VTune 8.0 to prepare for using the Linux/C++ version of Intel's VTune for the C++ performance and profiling, pinpointing further pressure-points for releasing the pressure in the current C++ version. Found and fixed the erroneous RNG-code in the generators.

Code-reviewed the main 2 applications via the PMD and CheckStyle source-code plug-ins, and the cross-component JLint and Lint4j. Ran the performance analysis with VTune and the JUnit tests. Researched alternative methods for fraud-detection, including screen-scaping and socket-snsiffing, and created modules, blocking both frodulant methods, invlolving persistent objects in the new EJB 3.0 (KODO) implementation in Weblogic 9.2 in order to test the new persistence mechanisms. Alternative Java Persistence API app over Hybernate.

Prototyped Remote Rule-Based control module with an MDB object of JRules 6.0 for Weblogic, sending the results in a dedicated Pub/Sub topic to replace the Observer Design Patter coming from the old C++ modules.

- Architecture Review for a critical ILOG JRules in WebLogic Integration (WLI) project for a major Mortgage Company. Introduced a new set of more than 40 new business rules in BAL for the next release of the system; checked the ILR translation to match against the XML Test Dataset and pinpointed some data inconsistencies leading to some bad regression-testing results; prepared several utility functions used by the TRL rules; considered alternative approached of using ILOG JRules in WLI (the ILOG Control requiring a new version 5.1 only; a Web Service control, a plain Web Service, and a plain Java Class running in a Session Bean) and prepared a pool of of IrlContexts for efficient rule-engine connection establishment.

- Deployment Review for a major Document Management company - a WebLogic Server (WLS) project; tuned up all the JVM starting parameters of Itanium to maximize performance; checked all the Clustering and Load Balancing decisions, introduced a middle-tier Load Balancer; reviewed the performance implication of using the JSession Ids; prepared a plan for the Code Review, Class Review, and HP JMeter utilization for heap analysis, object creation, call-tree, thread-based metrics etc. Prepared a parallel-comparison with JProbe, OptgimizeIt, PMD etc. Prepared a prototype with Safe JDBC operations avoiding the resource-leaking problems the project exhibited during tests. Prepared a Daly routine for the WLS Admin.

- Lead Architect on the re-engineering effort from CORBA (Visibroker) to J2EE (Session EJB and WS) of a leading Legislations Systems company. Analyzed all current Journal Handling and REF Systems for monitoring the House and the Senate meetings, the Bill Introduction sessions etc. Made the Object Model for the current systems and the Use Case diagrams for the top 5 applications. Factored-out the functions from the previous CORBA interfaces and prepared 5 Application Facades to be used to communicate with the Service Locator and then the mid-tier (session EJBs or WS). Prepared a Rule-based prototype to control the process based on Business Rules on top of the SML Schemas, with cross-Elements and cross-Attributes Business Rules. Implemented the Rules in PROLOG invoked from Java and then in plan Java for comparison. Documented the code and artifacts. a XMLHttpRequest-based client (Ajax) and a corresponding XMLEncoder / XMLDecoder-based Swing clients.

- Lead Web Architect on the ACS project - redesign of the old COBOL / Power Builder system in J2EE / Web environment. Built the Object Models for the Web-tier to Middle Tier communication on the basis of the 350 Use Cases and Scenarios of the main Use Cases. Built the prototypes for JSF - Spring Framework communication, as well as the Ajax in JSF context. Developed the alternatives comparison between JSF in JViews framework vs. JSF in SUN Portal framework, as well as an evaluation of the prospects of porting it into WebLogic and Websphere for the ACS's future clients. Prepared a comparison between Hybernate and Cocobase to facilitate the decision for an OR-mapping tool. Prepared the Web Tier Architecture Document for the project, based on the proof of concept mini projects mentioned above, with Class Diagrams for both Portal and plain JSF environments.

Built the persistent Java classes for Assets, Campaign, Broadcast Bundle, and Client XML manifest. Re-implemented the scheduler in Oracle Business Components for Java (using JDeveloper with IIOP connection to the DB), building the Entity, View, and Application Module for Campaign. Created the main non-DB classes (Broadcast Scheduler, DRpool, Reservation Manager, Asset Manager, Campaign Manager). Prepared the navigation screen and the 4 Scheduling Studio screens after the ReplayTV look & feel website. Developed the JSPs and the JavaBeans for the JSPs. Redesigned the entire Scheduling Oracle database in a complete reference-integrity-compl>iant way using TOAD, reducing the tables from 28 to 20 and optimizing the queries from the JDBC objects. Streamlined the JSPServlets/Javabeans development process in JBuilder 4 Enterprise.

А вот уже "Salisbury" у меня будет в первой 20-ке, когда напишу про 1971 год...


Этико-философская концепция люциферизма
Смиренья защита сработана наспех, И слышно дыхание властной метели В причудливых кеннингах саг скандинавских, В улыбчивой логике Макиавелли. Та вьюга страницы взовьет в круговерти, Мятежная, будет играть именами, Подвластна не времени, даже не смерти, Но только судьбе, что начертана нами. ...Если вы сохранили живые глаза и чуткий слух - .
