In the following video I present the different features of the new authoring tool for my portal Tech Head Brothers.
First you will see the use of ClickOnce to enable easy installation on the author computer. This will also allow an easy update scenario. A great plus compared to the past.
This evening I took the time to implement a new step on the new version of Tech Head Brothers authoring tool.
Now I am able to write an article in Word 2007 and post it using Web Services.
I started to migrate the Tech Head Brothers authoring tool and portal from Web Service Enhancement 3 (WSE 3) to Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). This is a next step in the integration of .NET Framework 3 in Tech Head Brothers portal.
Till today I was using WSE 3 from the Word VSTO solution to securely publish content to the portal directly out of Word 2003/2007.
What are the options when you need to integrate Windows legacy code in a heterogeneous Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)?
The proposed problem was to expose a set of Windows C++ DLLs to a global SOA platform written in Java. Those DLLs would be then exposed as backend computation services.
