For our mobile apps we implemented our adapters using JavaScript where procedures simply do MFP.Server.invokeHTTP. But now we need somehow integrate with IBM Integration Bus (IIB), and I can't find any information how to do it.
I have only limited knowledge how Integration Bus works and why it needs.
Is it possible to do it with JavaScript or it possible only in Java (also all examples, that I found - it simple how to create services for IIB)?
Should we configure MobileFirst Server (via Operation Console) to connect to IIB or we need import additional packages?
If I get it correct you are already calling web services via HTTP .
IIB provides you web services like REST SOAP... in your case you can simply ask your team (IIB ) to build services as REST and expose them... from you mobile server you can simply call them like any other service... like you can provide the IIB rest service url in you http method and get resoonse back.

I have an API built using Django Rest Framework and an SDK that many clients use in order to integrate with the API services.
There are no user notions, as this service is intended to be used by the websites that have integrated the SDK inside their source code.
I am trying to find a way to make the API communication between the servers and the SDK clients more secure. When the SDK is used from the website, it makes the calls on the API using an "application_id" string. There's no point in using api_keys or tokens, as the SDK code is in plain sight from the website's source.
Do you have any recommendations on this one?
I am trying to build a desktop app using electron that retrieves mail from a specific mailbox (microsoft exchange server), now, i have looked around and read that mailbox connection should be done server side (the question was made by a guy building a web based app that is a little bit similar to what i want to do), but, since i am not really deploying a node js server but rather using electron, which, as far as i understand is like a desktop app version of node, im not sure on which approach to take. Should i use an api? does microsoft has any interface for this? or should i use a third party integration for it?
It looks like the Exchange Web Services API is only provided as a CLR assembly, so if you wanted to use it you'd need to:
write a C# console app that you then spawn from your Electron app
(and communicate via stdin/stdout), or
use the EWS API in your Electron app via Edge.js
Alternatively, you could probably just directly communicate with the exchange server using SOAP messages, but that could be a bit tedious to implement.
I currently have a basic html/js/css web app being hosted on Microsoft Azure. What I need to do next is pull some data an Azure SQL database onto one of the pages using REST calls.
Does anyone know what steps I need to take in order to accomplish this?
I built my own Web API in VS 2015 for my database and deployed it to azure that way. See reference below:
http://www.infragistics.com/community/blogs/dhananjay_kumar/archive/2015/06/05/a-step-by-step-guide-to-working-with-the-asp-net-web-api-and-angularjs.aspx
Your question is too board. There are many ways can satisfy your requirement. Generally speaking, you need to build a backend service to connect to your SQL Database and provide REST APIs service.
On Azure, you can quickly acquire this via Web Apps or API Apps. However, all the operations to Azure SQL database need you to implement by yourself depend on which develop language you are using. You can refer to https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-get-started/ for more details.
I've being working with Node.js and Angular.js. But now I am moving into mobile (Android) and I would like to solve some doubts before getting started because documentations have being quite confusing. So here are my questions:
How will the mobile app connect to the backend? is it just configuring the config.xml file?
How is the Login system suppose to work when talking from the mobile to the backend?
Does the Login system allow to use the Notification API's? Which variables should I consider?
What limitations would I have when working with Javascript? Like Underscore, D3, Three.js, etc...
If anyone could answer these questions I would really appreciated
1) It depends on what you refer as "back-end". I assume you re referring to some remote server connection. As Cordova is fully based on HTML,CSS and Javascript, you can use some ajax calls to connect to your server(back-end) to get/put data.
2) For my apps, for login system, I use ajax based solution to callback my remote server and validate the login username and password.
3) Yes. You can use the features of Alert, Beep, Vibrate and even push notifications. Refer to the corresponding API docs.
4) Virtually no limitations on what use as long as its javascript and does not create contention with other javascript codes you use together.
It will connect to the backend the same way your web apps do, what transports do you usually use?
Logins will work the same way your web apps do.
There are no limitations on javascript, it will be very similar to developing for the mobile web except you will have more device APIs available to you and you will have the ability to create custom device APIs.
For one of my projects I'd like to try out Gigya as my social network connection provider and am writing my app using Node.js. Has anyone done this?
Gigya provides a JavaScript API that is intended to be used on the client.
http://developers.gigya.com/020_Client_API
It should be possible to adapt that for server side use.
Gigya's client side javascript is intended to be run in the browser as much as possible, since they perform 2 part authentication using cookies set by their domains. You can try to port it to run server side, but none of the public methods will work as advertised.
I've written a wrapper for their REST API using their proprietary authentication that I've been using in a work project for a few weeks: https://github.com/jproulx/Gigya-Node-SDK -- note that not everything has been tested thoroughly as I've only needed to use a subset of the socialize services on the server side. It should serve as a good jumping off point to bootstrap something for your needs.
Gigya does not yet have an official Node SDK. However, I've written an SDK that implements the entire service.
In addition to the standard APIs, it contains special support for streaming data from Accounts & DS.

Install with "npm install gigya".
