There is more to Web 2.0 content than just Web 2.0 widgets. While some may not know, XML is the fabric of Web 2.0 applications. Web 2.0 or Rich Internet Applications are popular due to the interactive content on the browser. Developers building these applications will benefit from increasing XML usage beyond the browser widget - bringing this XML content into the data server. By making XML more integral to the Web 2.0 applications, developers have a new means for building high-performance Web 2.0 applications more quickly while maintaining the flexibility in the design for future data management requirements. IBM's Chris gruber will help you learn how this can be achieved. This session is suitable for audiences with basic knowledge of XML.

Most companies, especially from the banking domain, develop a large amount of their software in C/C++, and generally, they are not interested in redeveloping the code in any other new generation language, such as .NET or Java, due to cost and performance reasons.

But then, integration of this existing functionality with the new application is a big issue. The solution to this problem is incubating service orientation into the application architecture and accessing the legacy code by exposing it as a service, based on open standards so that it can be used across various platforms.
