After consulting at Trx, as a Soltech employee, I was hired by Trx to continue my work.

Converted to TRX employee.Authored an XML-driven workflow system. Using Java, JMS, EJBs, and a workflow definition, this "engine" executes steps (java business objects) in the workflow. Jython allows steps to be written as scripts by subject matter experts (SMEs). Some services provided are tracing/debugging, transaction demarcation, database access, and metrics. Authored a travel industry generic API. The tool shields developers from specific command knowledge and parsing details related to a number of reservation systems such as WorldSpan and Sabre. This Java translator/parser tool uses a combination of EJBs and interacts with a repository of commands and XML parsing rules to translate requests and parse GDS results. Also created an administrator's GUI application to create/maintain/test commands and parsing rules.Using this architecture and its workflow and translator/parser components, Trx processes record numbers of tickets every month. Use of standard and J2EE design patterns make it flexible, extensible and reusable. The architecture provides management with real-time decision-support information and is now at the core of all Trx applications.Tools: J2EE; EJB (session, CMP entity, and message-driven); BEA WebLogic Server 6.x; Windows and Solaris; RMI; JNDI; JMS; UML; TogetherSoft 6.x/5.x/4x/3.x; JBuilder 6.x/5.x/4.x/3.x; Eclipse 2.x; Jython; SilverStream 3.x; Java Patterns & Anti-Patterns; Refactoring; JUnit; XML (JAXP/DOM/SAX/XSL-XSLT/DTD), XML Spy 4.x; Oracle 7.x/8.x; PL/SQL (stored procedures, triggers); Visual SourceSafe 6.0, Visual Basic 6.; Reason for leaving: With the infrastructure solidly in place, the job was no longer challenging.
