However, as they reuse services and compose new applications quickly and easily, new requirements arise for the application server:
1. Composite apps are typically more complex for IT to deploy, manage and evolve. This creates a need for developers to write more complex infrastructure code and for more sophisticated operations, deployment, and management capabilities on the application server than exist today.
2. Composite apps present new challenges around scalability, performance and reliability. The tried and true strategies for optimizing traditional applications do not satisfy in the more complex environment of composite applications.
Q: When will the .NET Framework 4.0 and Windows Server “Dublin” technologies ship?
A: We will deliver a Community Technology Preview (CTP) of Windows Workflow Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, and “Dublin” technologies at the Professional Developers Conference in October 2008
Q: What are example products from Microsoft or 3rd party ISVs are planning support for .NET Framework 4.0 and “Dublin” technologies?
A: Among the first products that have announced plans to support Dublin is Microsoft Dynamics. Microsoft has announced that future versions of both the Microsoft Dynamics AX and Microsoft Dynamics CRM applications will leverage both .NET 4.0 and “Dublin”. In particular, the next version of Microsoft Dynamics AX is being specifically designed to take full advantage of the enhanced capability and scale delivered in Windows Server by the enhanced “Dublin” application server technologies. Among 3rd party ISVs, line of business applications like Dataract, Eclipsys, Epicor, Red Prairie and Telerik and software infrastructure providers like Amberpoint, SOA Software, Frends Technology and Global360 are some of the first to already announce plans to leverage the .NET Framework 4.0 and “Dublin” technologies.
Q: How will “Dublin” be packaged and made available for customers to use?
A: [...] “Dublin” will first become available after the release of the .NET Framework 4.0 and Visual Studio “10”. Thereafter, “Dublin” will have incremental releases roughly in line with the .NET Framework.
Q: What is the WCF REST Starter Kit?
A: The WCF REST Starter Kit is an early preview of capabilities that will be shipped with WCF in the .NET Framework 4.0. The Starter Kit provides Visual Studio project and item templates for common RESTful scenarios: REST Singleton Service, REST Collection Service, ATOM Feed Service, Atom Publishing Protocol Service and HTTP Plain XML Service. WCF already includes REST support today; the starter kit will make it even easier to get REST services up and running using WCF.
Q: Will “Dublin” work with the “Oslo” modeling platform technologies?
A: Yes. “Dublin” will be the first Microsoft server product to deliver support for the “Oslo” modeling platform. “Dublin” does not require “Oslo” in order to operate and provide benefits of hosting .NET applications;
Q: Will “Dublin” work with BizTalk Server’s enterprise connectivity services?
A: Yes. The integration server and application server workloads are distinct but complementary; customers want to be able to deploy them separately as needed to support their distinct requirements.
