Solving the XML Problem with Jackson
By Eugen Paraschiv
Jackson is a popular library for handling JSON in Java applications, quickly
becoming the de-facto standard in the ecosystem. Starting with version 2, it
has also introduced a mature XML implementation alongside its established
JSON support.
Adding Jackson XML to the Project
Adding the Jackson XML module to the project only needs a single dependency -
the Jackson XML module itself:
com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat
jackson-dataformat-xml
2.9.0
And in Gradle:
compile "com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat:jackson-dataformat-xml:2.9.0"
This will automatically pull in all of the other Jackson dependencies that
are needed:

In the run-up to the next Cloud Expo, 7th Cloud Expo (November 1–4, 2010)
being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center in Silicon Valley, it's time
to give my earlier list a complete overhaul.
Here, accordingly, is an expanded list of the most active players in the
Cloud Ecosystem.
I have increased it from the 'mere' 150 I identified back in January of this
year, to 250, testimony – as if any were needed! – to the fierce and
continuing growth of the "Elastic IT" paradigm throughout the world of
enterprise computing.
Editorial note: The words in quotation marks used to describe the various
services and solutions in this round-up are in every case taken from the Web
sites of the companies themselves. Omissions to this Top 250 list should be
sent to me via Twitter (twitter.com/jg21) and I will endeavor to include them

WSM International today announced an industry-first, fixed fee server
migration service for all like-to-like server migrations to - or from - any
server or cloud provider.
The Server Image Migration Service (called SIMS) includes source environment
and tool assessment, software license fees, creation, transfer and restore of
the server image from source to destination, and testing instructions for
customers to validate the image restore. The simple Service Level Agreement

transformation, version incompatibilities, application refactoring, delta
data syncs or other technical tasks are needed to ensure a seamless, secure
and effective migration.

No standards movement in the history of the software industry has garnered as
much attention or support as Web services. After the previous decade's failed
attempts to reach unity, the industry has lauded the promise of more
flexible, open, and interoperable software as a revolution and a breath of
fresh air.
Corporations are applauding the possibility that the software industry is
finally starting to standardize its offerings, thereby helping to eliminate
the islands of information that exist within nearly every Global 2000
organization. It's perceived that Web services will go a long way toward
eradicating the integration challenge that's the number-one cause of CIO
headaches.
Despite many attempts, and some pockets of progress, the software industry
remains essentially a craft business, relying on the individual knowledge and
skills of highly trained, experienc... (more)
@CloudExpo Stories By Elizabeth White  DevOps promotes continuous improvement through a culture of collaboration. But in real terms, how do you: Integrate activities across diverse teams and services? Make objective decisions with system-wide visibility? Use feedback loops to enable learning and improvement?

According to PwC executive Seamus Cushley, approximately $1.4B has been invested in blockchain just last year. In Gartner’s recent hype cycle for emerging technologies, blockchain is approaching the peak. It is considered by Gartner as one of the ‘Key platform-enabling technologies to track.’ While there is a lot of ‘hype vs reality’ discussions going on, there is no arguing that blockchain is b... Feb. 2, 2018 03:30 AM EST Reads: 4,676 | By Stackify Blog  How is DevOps going within your organization? If you need some help measuring just how well it is going, we have prepared a list of some key DevOps metrics to track. These metrics can help you understand how your team is doing over time.
The word DevOps means different things to different people. Some say it a culture and every vendor in the industry claims that their tools help with DevOps. Depending on how you define DevOps, some of these metrics may matter more or less to you and your team. Feb. 2, 2018 01:45 AM EST Reads: 2,775 | By Destiny Bertucci  Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have been the subject of much discourse in the last several years. They were widely anticipated in the gaming and entertainment industries, but in marketing and corporate settings, the benefits were murky at best. Today, these technologies are becoming more of a reality in all areas of business.
For example, the new IKEA® shopping app leverages augmented reality to help shoppers determine how certain popular items will look in their homes – no tr...

To achieve cloud-based HPC visualization, researchers must transfer datasets and visualization results efficiently.

To efficiently display results remotely, a high-performance, low-latency protocol transfers the display from the cluster to a remote desktop. Further, tools to easily mount remote datasets and efficiently transfer... Feb. 2, 2018 12:00 AM EST Reads: 2,348 | By Rostyslav Demush  A few years ago – in the early days of Blockchain – a lot of people were taken with the idea of a multifunctional chain on which all transactions could be handled. After Ethereum was launched in 2014, its advocates were talking themselves hoarse about the transformative opportunities the platform introduced. Decentralized applications, they predicted, along with all sorts of value transfers would be executed exclusively on Ethereum from that point on, and no other networks would ever be needed....

As this market matures, different platforms focus on different challenges. As a result, a wider range of ‘citizen’ roles also evolve, such as citizen process creators and citizen data analysts.

But that's no longer enough to satisfy evolving and complex business requirements.
In his session at 21st Cloud Expo, Scott Davis, Embotics CTO, explored how next-generation CMPs ensure organizations can manage cloud-native and microservice-based application architectures, while also facilitating agile DevOps methodology. He expla... Feb. 1, 2018 02:45 PM EST Reads: 3,678 | By Otto Berkes  Every year about this time, we gaze into crystal balls to divine the future of our industry – or at least where it’s headed over the next 365 days. The result is often a triumph of incrementalism: we predict that we will get more of what we already have. The truth is, technology isn’t as revolutionary as we often think – and commenting on incremental changes alone may not help us understand what lies ahead.
Along with a few near-term predictions – so hard to resist – I’d also like to make some ... Feb. 1, 2018 02:30 PM EST Reads: 2,397 | By Brad Thies  Another day, another breach. No wonder security is tied for the top barrier to cloud adoption, according to 2017 research from RightScale, with 25 percent of survey respondents naming it, alongside expertise and expense, as their greatest challenge.
In the face of security concerns, IT executives have mistakenly found comfort in private clouds over public clouds. The RightScale survey found that enterprises run about 75 percent of workloads in the cloud, with 43 percent done in a private clou...

It’s always great to see what the disruptive players in the market are doing — and this year did not disappoint. But there is one thing that repeatedly happens that just gets under my skin: transformation-washing.
As Jason explained in a Forbes article over a year ago, ‘washing’ is when a vendor (or pundit) applies a buzzword loosely in an overt attempt to attach themselves to its buzz. ...

In computer science, it describes the concept that objects of different types can be accessed through the same interface. Each type can provide its own, independent implementation of this interface.

Feb. 1, 2018 10:00 AM EST Reads: 1,936 | By Liz McMillan  Digital Transformation (DX) is not a "one-size-fits all" strategy. Each organization needs to develop its own unique, long-term DX plan. It must do so by realizing that we now live in a data-driven age, and that technologies such as Cloud Computing, Big Data, the IoT, Cognitive Computing, and Blockchain are only tools.
