...
Just sit right back and I'll tell you a taleA tale of a fateful day,
That started on this Mondaywith this tiny geek(my apologies to
Gilligan's Island)
You know I've heard people use this as a polite curse "May 1/7 of your
life be spent on Monday" but I don't think it really hit me how true
that is until yesterday. Monday. A dreadful Monday. The day started
nicely enough, I:
Rose early
Showered without falling down in the shower (a classic Monday-ism
although it only ever happened once to me and on a Thursday)
Ate donuts
Caffeinated well
Wrote code
Wrote more code
Wrote even more code
And then I started to hit problems. First it was handling some php
imap_XYZ functions and dealing with returned objects, not returned
arrays. I had this code:$mbox = imap_open ("\{$mailserver}INBOX",
$login, $password, CL_EXPUNGE );$headers = imap_headers ($mbox); # if
test based on $headers omitted$header = imap_header ($mbox,
$message_id );$from = $header->from;
And then I passed $from to a routine and tried to extract it's value.
Nope. Didn't work. Tried different syntax options. Nope. Then I
used the most excellent var_dump($from) to make sure that the data was
indeed getting passed to me. It was. Hmmmm.... Thankfully Kjartan
was online so I IM'd him and he quickly figured it out. The $from is
an object so I need a foreach loop to retrieve it's value or: foreach
($from as $id => $object) { $from_name = $object->personal;
$from_address = $object->mailbox . "@" . $object->host; }
Of course this is nowhere in the php.net docs. Nowhere. It's obvious
if you really read the return values closely (they state it's an
object) but it's not clear how to do it. So I added it to php.net
here. Ooops. Monday is continuing since I can't even find it. Sigh.
So, anyway, I got my code working and then I started to deal with mime
encoded attachments. Ack !!! Foo!!!! If you haven't done it, I
strongly recommend you steal the code from somewhere else so I needed
my copy of PHP and MySQL Web Programming which I thought would cover
it. I thought this was in my car so I grabbed my keys and headed
outside. Since I was being very, very smart I figured I'll go out
thru the basement and carry some boxes down to storage. No problem.
Bad, bad, bad, bad call. I'm now living in a new place and not really
used to the locks here yet. Needless to say the basement door closed
behind me. No problem I thought -- I have my keys. Well this was now
4 pm and I'd been coding all day long and hadn't left the house at
all. So this means that the door was still locked from the night
before with the deadbolt. The deadbolt which can be opened from the
outside -- IF THEY GIVE YOU A DAMN KEY FOR IT !!! And, of course,
they didn't. This led to my heading back to the basement door only to
find that the lock for that was one for which I didn't have a key
either.
Oh and did I mention that I was wearing shorts, a T shirt and no
shoes? And:
No cell phone
No wallet
No ID
Don't even know my landlord's name or #
Don't know the property manager's name or #
My only neighbor I know, who happily lives downstairs from me, is out
for the 1st time in days
Hmmm..... So time to take stock of the situation. I have:
House and car keys
Minimal clothing
No pocket knife
A car filled with miscellaneous oddments including some tools. Eureka
!!!
A back door I haven't thought to try yet
Of course I rushed over to the back door pleased as punch that I
remembered it. IT WOULDN'T OPEN. The lock turned. The frame bowed
at the top and the bottom which indicated to me that there wasn't a
deadbolt but the damn door knob wouldn't turn. Sigh. I start to
realize "It must be Monday". I head back to the car and round up a
small flat blade screw driver and a hammer. I start by trying to
tighten the door knob screw since maybe that's a problem. Of course
screws aren't supposed to spin forever. Sigh Sigh Sigh. When that
didn't work I manage to pull the knob off and use the hammer's claws
to try and turn the spindle. Nope. Didn't work. Next up is removing
the lock face plate entirely. Still can't get it in.
I start to contemplate the pure satisfaction of breaking the glass but
I figure "I'll probably cut myself and bleed copiously". So I took
the screwdriver and removed all the window glazing putty and then got
the pane of glass out. From the other side of the door the handle
turned fine and then I was in. It turns out there is a lock setting
on the door jam that I hadn't ever been told about which makes it so
you can't open the door from the outside. Needless to say I changed
that setting. And then I replaced the glass (still need to glaze it
but that's not a big deal).
So my day resumed and I found out that John's having a similarly bad
day. I went back to coding and created then solved several errors.
My day ended by taking myself out to dinner. And, on the way, a car
ran a red light and hit me. My actions? I went home to bed.

"The relational database is designed to serve up rows and columns,"
said BEA's Adam Bosworth in his keynote talk. "But our model of the
world is documents. It's 'Tell me everything I want to know about this
person or this clinical trial.' And those things are not flat, they're
complex. Now we have the way to get not only the hospital records and
prescriptions but also the doctor's write-ups."
The doctors and bankers will get that, just as the highway patrolmen
already do. XML documents, flowing through XML plumbing, can now
deliver very real and tangible benefits. For the publishing geeks who
started it all, it's a moment to savor. [Full story at

in his XML 2003 talk. For those of you not inclined to

ReST vs RPC Redux
ReST vs RPC Redux
03/11/2003 11:53 AMIt looks like SOAP is destined to continue to be maligned and
misunderstood.
Dave Winer is
upset because not everybody limits themselves to his
narrow RPC profile of
SOAP usage. Non-RPC usage of SOAP isn't new - it was always
in the
spec.
And things that fit Dave's narrow profile continue to interop.
Mark Baker is
upset because SOAP permits usages which are not, in his and
many people's opinion, well architected. Usages such as
RPC. While many of Mark's arguments resonate with me, he
tends to throw the baby out with the bathwater. He might as
well say that Python is not a good language for building REST
systems because it can also be used for RPC.
Meanwhile, where Mark
throws up
his hands, others are
making progress.
REST vs SOAP
REST vs SOAP
03/11/2003 11:53 AMMy POW, FWIW:
The sweet spot is GET and POST of
XML Infomation
Sets. REST's content independence and SOAP's transport
independence are simultaneously both key strengths and weaknesses
of each approach. Both contain speculative features that have not
been widely adopted (e.g., DELETE? Content-Negotiation?). The most
underrated feature of SOAP is asynchronous messaging.
REST + SOAP is a powerful combination.

REST & SOAP
REST & SOAP
11/08/2002 04:05 AMA presentation summarizing REST and SOAP by Peter Drayton, Program
Manager (CLR), Microsoft.
The thesis for my talk was that this area of
intersection (RESTful SOAP) is actually a good thing, as it provides
an opportunity for SOAP to learn valuable architectural lessons from
REST, and an opportunity for REST to benefit from SOAP's widespread
acceptance among corporate developers.

Bosworth: I admit to not being a REST expert and the people
commenting, Mike Dierkin and Mark Baker in particular, certainly
are. They tell me I'm all wet about the REST issues. I'll dig into
it. But I admit, I don't get it. I need to be educated.
I personally think that the place to start is to first tease
apart the "HTTP is the one true protocol" from the "REST is the one
true architecture", and then initially focus on the latter.
Once done, you may come back to believe in one or both of these,
but they can be addressed independently.
To draw an analogy, Java 1.0 did not have a component
model. A convention of getters and setters methods
corresponding to a property emerged. Getters always have zero
parameters, setters typically have one.
On the web, there is an analogous component model.
Resources have a GET and POST method (as well as a few
others). This is not one per property, but one per resource
(object). This encourages a coarse grained approach to
integration - something that scales better than fine grained
access.
Nothing in REST requires or precludes an equivalent to
WSDL. However, nothing in WSDL today models the interaction
that is typical of WSDL itself: "at this address is a document of a
given type. If you GET it, you will find a strongly typed
description of another resource (endpoint)".
Anybody with experience in database design will tell you that it
makes sense to focus a lot of energy on optimizing reads. The
web does this well.
Other principles that apply: all persistent resources have
identifiers. No implicit state.
I have further thoughts posted at
REST+SOAP. I'd also point to
The Eight
Fallacies of Distributed Computing, but alas, it has gone
404. (The concept of 404 itself is an important implication
of a REST design).

REST microkernel and XML app server. 1060
NetKernel Suhail Ahmed alerted me, via email, to a really
interesting project called NetKernel, from 1060 Research. The docs
describe it as "a commercial open-source realisation of the HP Dexter
project." Here's the skinny:
Today's Web-servers and Application Servers have a
relatively flat interface which creates a hard boundary between Web
and non-Web. This boundary defines the zone of URI addressable
resources.
What if the REST interface (URI address space)
didn't end at the edge of your external interface?
NetKernel
uses REST-like service interfaces for all software components. The
services are fully encapsulated in modules which export a public URI
address space. A module may import other module's address spaces, in
this way service libraries may be combined into applications. [NetKernel Essentials]
What if,
indeed? I downloaded the 20MB NetKernel JAR file, installed the
system, and took it for a spin. Fascinating concept. As advertised, it
offers a suite of XML services -- including XSLT, and the Saxon
implementation of XQuery -- in a composable architecture based on
URIs. These include the familiar http: and file: plus NetKernel's own
active: which is a URI scheme for NetKernel processes scheduled by the
"REST microkernel."
