Amature Punditry Alert: So there was the announcement last week that Mr. Bosworth leaves BEA for Google, much buzz ensues. I’m very far from that buzz, being a mere web hacker in an IT group. However, the spam bots have been busy attacking his weblog, so a post from last year about the Web Services Browser appears in my Net News Wire as new:
So, to summarize, a set of related pages designed to work with the XML information in quesiton called a ClientWeb, a set of information retrieved using Web Services, and a Controller to coordinate the actions that occur between pages and to invoke suitable web services when necessary. How does all this work offline? Also to be covered in subsequent entries. Lastly let me freely admit that this is a dream in progress, open to all, and sure to be wrong in some of its details.
That was some seriously serendipitous blog spam.
So, you got your web services guy going to an outfit who knows all about storing large caches of structured data, and has demonstrated they can deliver sophisticated applications in the browser.
I guess that Bosworth’s going to help build that Web Services Browser he was talking about.
