CD213 (Intermediate)	Using Open Source Frameworks on SAP NetWeaver	Since its introduction in 1999, the Java EE technology has constantly emerged. On the other hand, some other technologies have been introduced following the same programming paradigms or answering the same questions as the Java EE industry standards. These technologies coexist with the standard technologies – and sometimes even impersonate a competition to them – since they provide a real alternative to standard solutions. Some of them have been very well embraced by the community, thus becoming de facto standards – think about Struts or Hibernate. The Employee Management Demo Application or sometimes called the Open Source Demo is a simple demo scenario using solely Open Source products and frameworks and the SAP NetWeaver Application Server as a development and runtime platform. The Open Source Demo application is implemented with Struts and Hibernate. It also consumes a web service hosted on a Tomcat server by using the AXIS API. The application can also send JMS messages to a (possibly remotely hosted) JORAM JMS provider. The key finding of this is that the SAP NetWeaver Application Server is an open platform for integration of Open Source de facto standard Java EE technologies.

With the ESR, SAP's approach to SOA can be seen as dramatically different from its competitors – because SAP offers not only a repository from the tools side, but also the content. Already in December 2006 we have the first enterprise services bundles that were shipped that contained around 500 service definitions shipped in the repository. Also the repository is open for customers and partners to also enrich this content with additional services that they would need for their own use. Come join this session in order to understand the Enterprise Services Repository and Registry in some more detail.
SOA207 (Intermediate)	Defining an Organization Wide Services Meta Model and Strategies for Monetizing Enterprise SOA	An enterprise wide services meta-model is a challenge that most of the organizations seem to be grappling with today. With the landscape driven by multiple platforms, primarily from a strategic fit, the challenges organizations have to grapple with multiply. The ways of approaching SOA are different; multiple schools of thought exist towards making it a reality. But mostly, all the strategies miss the train of thought that drives the very decision-making process. A heightened sense of vendor-centricity makes a neutral judgment nearly impossible. There needs to be a new way of looking at things with a move towards BPP. Every new merger, every new acquisition brings with it a multitude of such applications which turn the laundry list into a huge list of unmanageable process applications that support processes across the value-chain. In the changing world of Web 2.0 and mash-up corporations, there has to be a new approach to solving this perpetual nightmare in a multi-platform environment.
