Carbon Studio

The typical enterprise develops a range of applications to serve the organization’s different business requirements. Each one of these applications may consist of a variety of components, such as a Web application component at the front end, a gadget component for data visualization, or a database to store application data, to name just a few. This means the application developer has to work with different tools in these different domains when implementing the application, and using the wrong tools for the task can lead to a developer’s nightmare.

Increasingly enterprises want the flexibility to deploy an application on-premise or in the cloud as needed. However, most on-premise applications are not designed to move as-is to the cloud, and too often developers are required to use different tools for each platform.

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) applications running on-premise today may need to run in the cloud tomorrow. There are many tools to assist in building on-premise SOA applications quickly and efficiently, but very few support the private and public cloud platforms onto which these applications are moving. In her presentation at WSO2Con 2011, Chathuri addressed the demand to develop applications once in a way that allows them to be deployed on-premise or in the cloud as needed. She also demonstrated best practices for doing so using the WSO2 Carbon Studio integrated development environment (IDE). Here are highlights from her talk.

Chathuri joined WSO2 in April 2009 as a Senior Software Engineer and is currently working on the WSO2 Tools team.

Smooks is an extensible Java framework for building applications for processing XML and non XML data. Smooks tools is a set of graphical tools for editing Smooks configuration file based on Eclipse developed by JBoss. It's being integrated it in to WSO2 Carbon Studio as a third party tool. This tutorial will demonstrate how to perform data mapping via the Smooks Editor in WSO2 Carbon Studio.
