European Commission say "Yes"

There is nothing in the way anymore for Oracle to acquisition BEA. The European Commission okays the takeover.

Following comment from Oracle can you find on the press release of this event:

"...Together, Oracle and BEA will provide a series of complementary and well-engineered middleware products, allowing customers to more easily build, deploy, and manage applications in a secure environment..." (Oracle President Charles Phillips) [more]

Maybe we can see a BEA session on OOW 2008. You interessted ? Oracle kicks of the registration today.

Integrate a timeline in your web application

You need to visualized in your web application similary the one i talk about in my last post. Try to integrate SMILE | Timeline. It is a AJAX Widget that only need a XML of events.


Samples and download are available here.

Is this not enough for you, try the new Oracle ADF Faces RC 11g - Gant Component and examine this viewlet.

Timeline

Today I found a new web 2.0 site called dipity. With this site you can create timelines und share it with other people on the net. Like the Microsoft Outlook timeline function.

The first time I hit the home page I saw a timeline from one of my favorite music bands years ago.


So I think to my self: "What should I do the last minutes of this day..?"

1. Choose Marillion / Script for a Jester's Tears / Forgotten Sons on my playlist
2. Open the Open World 2007 presentation from Duncan Mills & Clemens Utschig
3. Create my first timeline
