Zend Framework users, listen up (well, really anyone even looking into the Zend Framework too). There's a new post on the Zend Developer Zone today about working with XML inside of the Zend Framework, courtesy of IBM.   One of the incubator projects in the Zend Framework is Zend_Db_Xml. Zend_Db_Xml, also known as the XML Content Store (XCS), allows web applications that use XML data to easily update, save, and otherwise manage this data. In this article I will introduce the XCS persistence API and discuss an implementation using IBM's DB2 9 database with its pureXML technology. Finally, I'll discuss a sample social networking application to show how easy and fun it is to develop XML-centric applications using the XCS.   They first discuss the XML Content Store and what it offers before getting into the actual code to control it. They go with the DB3 database to store the data and the Zend_Db_Xml_XmlUtil component to manage the connections. Finally, they get to the code and XML examples, creating a simple method for storing and retrieving a user's information.

Today we released version 1.6.3 of Streamline, a stream-based network subsystem for Linux.   This first release in over a half year has been thorougly stress-tested, so it should be more stable. New features include support for named and unnamed pipes, the full POSIX file IO interface, a write-after-read optimization similar to splicing, a method for catching HTTP GET requests and self-resizing (based on load) ringbuffer designs. Please read the changelog for more details.

(InfoWorld) - A venture capital firm has given a $10 million boost to a Swedish company that could soon be in the competitive crosshairs of Google and Microsoft. Swedish venture company Northzone Ventures will help Xcerion AB emerge from stealth mode to launch its Web-based OS and related marketplace for hosted software later this year, said Xcerion CEO Daniel Arthursson, in an interview with the IDG News Service Monday. The company already has some big-name investors backing it, including one of the original architects of Windows NT and a former Microsoft general manager, Lou Perazzoli, and former Microsoft CFO John Connors. Arthursson said Xcerion, which was formed in 2001, set up an office in Seattle two years ago, and company founders began networking in the area to gain the support of the former Microsoft executives. Xcerion has developed an OS that works from within a browser, which developers can use to build Web-based versions of existing software or new applications quickly and without having to build separate versions for different computer OSes, he said. The company also will host the applications and make them available in an online marketplace. Users can choose to either run ad-supported versions of the applications for free, or pay a small yearly fee -- about $5 or $10 per year -- to run them is ad-free, Arthursson said. The company will manage subscriptions for third-party vendors and give them about 80 percent or 90 percent of the subscription revenue, while keeping a small percentage for its hosting and management services, he said. "If you [look at] the current marketplace, there are probably only about 50 to 300 applications that are the main ones people use today on their desktop computers," he said. "If you can recreate these and use it within our own OS, people won't have to use those applications on the desktop and can stop buying licensed software." Users also can run applications built on Xcerion's XML Internet OS when they are offline, Arthursson said. Any information saved when they are running the application offline will be immediately updated to the online version when they reconnect to the Internet. Xcerion is hoping to do for Web-based business application development what Microsoft did for applications development on the desktop, Arthursson said. "In some sense, we're working in the same direction [as Microsoft]," he said. Google also has promoted itself as a platform on which developers can build Web applications, but so far the company's services have not really caught on with consumers, not business customers. Arthursson said he hopes Xcerion will partner with many of Microsoft's ISV partners so they can offer versions of their software online. He said he expects ads sold for applications offered through Xcerion's marketplace will likely be the No. 1 source of revenue for the company, while subscription services managed for third-party applications will be its second biggest revenue stream. Microsoft, too, has been ramping up its strategy to offer Web-based applications. When Xcerion launches its Internet OS -- which is expected by the end of the third calendar quarter -- it also will launch its own Web-based office productivity suite that will run on the OS. The suite will include a word-processing application, a spreadsheet-application, a presentation application similar to Microsoft PowerPoint and an e-mail and calendar application, Arthursson said. The differentiator between Xcerion's productivity application and Google Apps from the search vendor is the ability for it to run when a user is offline, he said. Microsoft, too, is said to be developing a Web-based version of its Office suite, but has not officially made an announcement about the product.

Looking to get the most out of multi-core processors, a European-driven effort to build a framework for Java-based, real-time applications on modern multi-core chips and parallel processor systems is being announced Tuesday.Called the Java Environment for Parallel Real-time Development, or JEOPARD, the project is being underwritten by the European Commission (EC) to the tune of more than $4.9 million (3.3 million Euros), said The Open Group, which is participating in the project.The objective is to provide tools for platform-independent development of predictable systems that make use of symmetric multiprocessing multi-core platforms and field programmable gate array components, Open Group said. Tools plan would enhance software productivity and reusability by extending processor technology established on desktop systems for the needs of multi-core embedded systems."If you go out and buy a laptop or server, you get four-core processors or whatever. The way people program both applications and OSes hasn't really taken full advantage of the capabilities of these multi-core processors," said Dave Lounsbury, vice president for government services at The Open Group. "This is a hot topic. I think everybody recognizes there are some limitations right now," in making use of multi-core systems, he said.JEOPARD will research how to build APIs, OS extensions and language support for multi-core processors, with a special emphasis on embedded systems, Lounsbury said.The project will delve into extensions to handle different memory configurations. Situations will be considered in which there is not full symmetry, such as when a processor cannot access all parts of memory or chips are not using the same clock, said Lounsbury. These considerations are important because of constraints in memory bandwidth. Languages and operating systems can perform optimizations to address this."The idea here is that we'll see the creation of new sets of tools, whether it's extensions to OSes or new sets of compilers or languages like Java that will bring some of these new capabilities," Lounsbury said.While the project is based around Java, concepts from it could be made to work in other environments, he said. Asked when there might be results from JEOPARD, Lounsbury said the effort is a three-year EC program.Chip vendors could be expected to look closely at the project and incorporate results into their next generations of chips.Contributions from JEOPARD will be to be made to the RTSJ (Real-Time Specification for Java), which focuses on development of portable software in the multi-core embedded space, The Open Group said. Also, JEOPARD will feature development of a platform-independent software development interface for real-time multi-core systems based on RTSJ and Safety-Critical Java. RTSJ is the subject of Java Specification Requests 1 and 282 in the Java Community Process, while Safety-Critical Java is covered in JSR 302.Also participating in JEOPARD are the University of York, FZI, Vienna University of Technology, and the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca. Other participants include industrial manufacturers EADS, RadioLabs, and SkySoft and two embedded systems technology suppliers, aicas and Sysgo.In another effort pertaining to development for multi-core chips, RapidMind in November announced RapidMind Multi-core Development Platform v.30, which seeks to help developers build for these processors.
