Power of Lotus Mashup @ Lotus Greenhouse
Posted on December 7, 2025 2 Comments
Lotus Mashup @ Lotus Greenhouse (see link below) is the future of Web 2.0 technology.
Lotus Greenhouse Sign-up page
The great thing about Lotus Mashup is that you don’t have to write and code. It is all import, drag and drop and there it is linked. I have created this Mashup where I imported a excel spreadsheet with columns in with a URL, Address (Street name and Number + Zip Code) with other customer fields. I started to link the Address field to Google Maps using the street address. Then linked the Zip Code to the Weather Centre - AccuWeather.com. Linked the URL field to a Brower that wraps my customer URL. This gives me the power to get all the necessary information of my customer in one easy to understand view. Just think what value it can bring to your company.
See my cool mashup below and I did it only in 10 min:

Patterns in WebSphere Message Broker V7
Posted on November 27, 2025 Leave a Comment
Introduction
A pattern captures a commonly recurring solution to a problem, addressing the goals and objectives that you want to achieve. The specification of a pattern describes the problem being addressed, why the problem is important, and any constraints on the solution. Patterns typically emerge from common usage and the application of a particular product or technology. A pattern can be used to generate customized solutions to a recurring problem in an efficient way.
IBM® WebSphere® Message Broker V7 provides patterns that:
* Give you guidance in implementing solutions
* Increase development efficiency because resources are generated from a set of predefined templates.
* Improve quality through asset reuse and common implementation of functions such as error handling and logging.
