Amazon Java client libraries - soap

I am developing a solution for my client for his Amazon account, however, I am unable to find Amazon MWS Java library other than order APIs
I have already looked up everywhere on google, amazon seller forum, etc. but still I am unable to find java libraries other than order API and that even at Maven repository

I got in touch with Amazon Seller support and they sent me a link where Libraries for Amazon MWS Java, PhP and .Net are available. If anyone in future need it, they can find it here: https://developer.amazonservices.in/tools

Unfortunately, they moved the client libraries and you must first sign in to a professional sellers account to access them. They were available publicly for years.

Googling "amazon mws java" returns links like https://developer.amazonservices.com/doc/orders/orders/v20130901/java.html which require a Developer account (which in MWS terms means only the org's dev primary account as no General Role dev-enabled accounts in an org can get in, only primary and note that is different than the org's primary primary account). Best is whoever has it, post to open source GitHub before MWS reverts client libraries back to primary-only view ignoring they're almost a decade old now.

Encryption at Rest for Source Code on Team Services

I had someone reach out to me with a couple of queries about source code encryption in Team Services. I don't know and can't find an answer to online (Google fell flat?).
The question is: Can a company control their own encryption of source code at rest with Team services? Essentially, this would mean controlling their own keys and having the ability to pull access logs for people accessing the source control.
I believe the answer is still no. Microsoft may encrypt, but I don't believe there is a provision for a company to control their own source control security if it goes on the cloud.
The answer is just as what you think: No for now. Microsoft use kinds of ways (Check this link for details: Visual Studio Team Services Data Protection) to protect the customer data, but the way which you are asking isn't supported for now.
You can submit a feature request on VSTS User Voice for this.

Open source JMAP compliant servers?

I'm exploring the possibility of building a centrally hosted email client, embedded within my site. Users would be provisioned a new email address from me, they are not using their existing email. Essentially, I'm looking for the feature set of an email web client (multiple user accounts, get inbox messages, read, delete, compose new, organize, etc) exposed as set of RESTful APIs. A brief web search uncovered very little meeting my desires, but I did come across http://jmap.io. I was unable to find an existing implementation of the specification that I could leverage for my solution, and would love to avoid writing my own. Are there any existing solutions (JMAP or otherwise) that might meet my needs? I've ruled out https://context.io/ because I cannot have the emails stored or consumed by a third party.
I'm actively contributing to the Apache James Server. As part of my work, I am working on a JMAP implementation with my co-workers.
So far, we are able to build a working web-mail on top of it in one of our company product, OpenPaas.
And as it is an Apache project, it is OpenSource. Maybe you want to have a look...
https://github.com/apache/james-project/tree/master/server/protocols/jmap
http://james.apache.org/
I just want to add that as for now (2020) Cyrus IMAP also has JMAP support.
Stalwart JMAP server was just released (September 2022) and it includes full support for JMAP Core, JMAP Mail and JMAP over WebSocket. Support for JMAP Contacts and Calendar will be added as soon as these become IETF standards.

Online app backend with client-friendly online CMS

There are a ton of online CMS services out there. And a ton of (new) backend-as-a-service products too. But I can't seem to find what I am looking for.
I am building an app for a client. The app contains data about shops, products, and more. The client must be able to update this data (and not just one person: each shop manager needs to be able to log in and edit the data for their own shop). And of course the app must be able to access this data.
Client edits data online
This has to be extremely user-friendly and completely online. I don't want to sell my client something where they need to install stuff on their server. I don't want to sell them something that's accessible online but looks like phpMyAdmin.
I want a shop owner to be able to go to a webpage, log in, and then see a pretty UI where they can edit the data for their shop. The back-end needs to have a pretty front-end that's auto-generated for whatever data this particular shop owner is allowed to edit.
So there are two bits: storing data in the cloud in such a way that it can be accessed by the app (which I am building with Titanium), and allowing the client to log into the backend and edit the data in a non-tech, user-friendly way.
Here's a list of things I tried...
Backend-as-a-service
Services with a great back-end, but without easy auto-generated data editing website:
Appcelerator (Titanium) Cloud Service
Amazon EC2
Stackmob
BackBeam
WebVanta
Parse
API o Mat
ShepHertz Cloud42
Kii
Online CMS
Services that provide a nice way for clients to edit data, but no easy way for apps to connect:
CloudCMS
(and many others I'm sure)
It's insane that no-one seems to be providing the cross-breed of BaaS and online CMS. So many people are building apps for clients, and so many clients are not tech-savvy and are reluctant to get a special server and host database software they don't understand. Why does this not exist? What am I missing?
With apiOmat it's easy to create your own data-editing app for e.g. with JavaScript SDK and HTML. Or you send a feature request so that they build a module for your preferred CMS.
As you mentioned, Cloud CMS is a really good option (disclaimer: I'm one of the founders). The product provides an enterprise content management backend and an API that lets you plug in some really powerful features right into your mobile apps.
This month, we released a brand new user interface which provides much of what you're asking about. Instant forms, document libraries, search and workflow all in one place.
You can check out Cloud CMS here: http://www.cloudcms.com
I completely agree with your assessment particularly with respect to the last mile (getting the final app built). It's kind of the wild west out there and the strong technologies are still proving out.
You mentioned Titanium - that's a good choice. I also quite like the Ionic Framework (http://www.drifty.com/). It's a step in the right direction.

Single sign on solution

Hi I am using CAS for SSO. But problem is that i want reset password,register new user on CAS login screen.Does CAS provide these services or i have to implement?
Or Any other SSO solution exist which fulfill my requirement.
CAS is just a SSO frontend to your existing identity management solution (database, LDAP etc). It does not include any identity management features itself (create user account, reset password etc). I have recently been using the Cloudseal platform which is a full identity management solution and so far I am pretty impressed. I believe Atlassians Crowd also includes this although I have not used it. There are probably other products out there as well.
Both of these are commercial products although they are both free for the first 50 users. Crowd is a traditional standalone platform which you download, install and configure but Cloudseal is a hosted service so there is no installation and less config.
You can certainly modify the spring weblog and login page to allow for the functionality that of course you'd have to implement. You should also ask the question on #cas-user mailing list to see if a similar need in the community has been implemented by other users which you may be able to take advantage of. I remember only recently someone raised the same question to the list and there was a bit of interest in getting this feature developed and integrated. You may want to revisit the topic on the mailing list.
Hope this helps.

IBM Portal Database and Authentication

I have a couple of questions regarding IBM Portal Portlets.
I have just stumbled into the realm of Portlets - and as far as I am concerned was dropped into the deep end. Having to work on a IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1
We are still in the evaluation stage - and three things that I haven't been able to find clear answers to yet.
Database - is there one single Database that also gets used by the installed Portlets - or do you configure DB individually on a per Portlet Basis?
Authorization and Authentication - how can a Portlet get hold of the User and the rights the user has?
Are there any known constraints in using JSR-301 compliant JSF Bridges instead of bog standard Portlets?
Thanks in advanced.
I haven't used Portal 7 yet, but I have used pretty much every other version, so my apologies if you are using 7 and this information doesn't fit exactly.
1) Database: when you install portal, you configure a database it uses to store portal configuration (and sometimes user rights as well, although this aspect can be set up using a custom user registry like LDAP). If you don't have an already dedicated DB, Portal will use its packaged DB, Cloudscape/Derby. This DB can be completely separate from the DB that the portlets use to manipulate data unrelated to configuration. E.g. if your portlet is displaying inventory for a bike shop, the DB holding that info can be accessed in the normal web application way through a datasource set up in the WAS GUI.
2) For a lot of scenarios, your portlet doesn't need to know the user's rights, it won't render the portlet unless the user has been assigned the correct rights via Portal Administration. But in the cases in which you would need to know the user's rights, they can be accessed via the Portal User Management Architecture. Here's a good whitepaper on the subject: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/dw/websphere/PUMA_scenarios.pdf
3) Known constraints? You may have to google for that specifically, but I will say that unless you use IBM's custom JSF bridge, there may not be a lot of support from IBM's technical issue team if you come up against a problem. However, the support guys are usually pretty helpful, I find. Don't let that stop you from trying though :)
The two resources that I use pretty exhaustively are the InfoCenter http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wpdoc/v6r1/index.jsp and the developer forums on IBM Developerworks.
Best of luck, and welcome to the dark side!
