I missed part of Peter Crocker’s session on Advanced Java Topics in WMB v6 yesterday, but when I did manage to get in there, I learned a few useful snippets. Essentially this was an update of his talk from last year, and riffed off of his developerWorks article on the use of Java in Message Broker.
A few of the notes I made:
- although the product ships a sample JavaCompute node that calls a Google API, Google themselves have now withdrawn the API, so the sample doesn’t work
- it is important to be careful with the use of XPath… for example, try to avoid using the // selector as it is usually not the most performant way to select a message element. There should be some articles around on XPath, I need to look up some useful references.
- The latest fixpack enables Java code in a JavaCompute node to propagate to a label in the flow.
Useful stuff to be aware of!

Riffed is not a word. Ripped is a word. I think you meant ripped.

Never thought of myself as a riffer.
Glad you found the presentation useful.

Who is this wibbler

I’m considering whether to out the mysterious Wibble-man… he is incorrect. Riffed is a word, and I meant it.
Shakespeare was considered a genius for his use of the English language. All I can say is that I’m clearly misunderstood.

All this fuss over the word “riffed” while the non-word “performant” is right in the middle there.
Actually, that’s not true – “performant” is a noun, but it seems to be increasingly used as an adjective when the word “efficient” would fit the bill appositely.

Aggh. You’re right. I’m going all American…

Performant ??
