WAS 8 is officially announced this morning, along with the Mobile and Web 2.0 Feature Pack.
A new product called WebSphere Process Manager is also introduced... combining capabilities from Lombardi, WPS and ILOG.
A combined and pre-integrated bundle called WESB Registry Edition [pdf] is also announced. It makes WESB/WSRR work together out of the box, which is great.

| Live from IMPACT 2011... Getting started on Day 1 |
I am back at IMPACT this year. The scale of the conference has certainly grown quite a bit this year. Over 8000 attendees are gathering at the keynote session.
We can expect more product announcements and upgrades. There is a Forbes Business Leader track as well. A ton of technical sessions running in parallel. I will blog about the highlights as the day progresses.
If you are there as well, feel free to chime in!

about certain topics, and to address questions they might have along the
way. Each TechChat is for 30 mins and is offered "live"
in three different time zones worldwide.
In fact, the chat window has a
built-in translation capability that allows people around the world to
chat at the same time in virtually any language!
You can register for one or more

| New: MQ Message Encryption v1.0.0 |
 RogerLacroix writes "Capitalware Inc. would like to announce the official release of MQ Message Encryption v1.0.0.
MQ Message Encryption (MQME) provides encryption for MQ message data while it resides in a queue and in the MQ logs (i.e. all data at rest). In cryptography, encryption is the process of transforming information into an unreadable form (encrypted data). Decryption is the reverse process. It makes the encrypted information readable again. Only those with the key (PassPhrase) can successfully decrypt the encrypted data. MQME uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to encrypt the data. AES is a data encryption scheme, adopted by the US government, that uses three different key sizes (128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit).

| Auto-generate a thread dump when WAS suspects the existence of a hung thread |
 WebSphere has built-in hung thread detection, but it does not show you the full stack trace of the hung thread or what's blocking the execution of the offending thread. The solution is to enable an automatic thread dump when WebSphere finds a suspicious hung thread. This technote describes how to do it.
I'd consider this a best practice and would recommend it to most installations. Thread dump is fairly lightweight (unlike heap dumps) and can provide very valuable debugging information.

| WebSphere: Denial of Service issue - Important Fix |
 If you are running WAS 7.0.0.13 or before (especially for an external facing web site) or 6.1.0.35 or before, this fix is an important one. It corrects a floating point conversion bug in the JDK that causes the server to hang or freeze.
Since this is a JDK issue, other Java-based product (such as WebSphere Portal Server, WebSphere ESB or WebSphere Process Server) would be affected as well.

| Testing JMS applications |
 When developing MDBs, we often need to put test messages into your queues (SI Bus or MQ). There are a few good and free test clients out there.
The list of MQ tools from Capitalware is also very handy.

| Using Rational's code coverage feature on WebSphere |
Rational Application Developer has a nice code coverage feature that allows you to determine how much code is tested through your unit testing. The same feature can be used on a WebSphere runtime environment as well. This is very handy when you turn on code coverage in WAS and let your testers do their work. It gives you a good metric in terms of how much of the application has been tested during SIT or UAT. Just follow the procedures described in this article and you are off to the races.

| WebSphere Script Libraries in V7 |
Did you know there is a set of out-of-the-box library of WebSphere jython scripts you can use (as example or directly invoke them using wsadmin) to perform administrative functions (from installing an EAR to setting up JMS queues or JDBC resources)?
Go to WAS_ROOT/scriptLibraries and you will find a good set there.
Another good set of examples are on the developerWorks site here.
