Title: Using CDI and OSGi services in JBossAS

Target audience: JBoss app. server (core) service developers

Abstract:

JBoss Application Server has always been well known for its easy to  configure services in the form of JMX MBeans, with some extensions to  allow dependencies between the services and to give services a  lifecycle. In JBoss Application Server 5 we introduced a new kernel  architecture based on the JBoss Microcontainer, which allows for  extensible component models. While the Microcontainer natively supports  simple POJOs, support for legacy MBeans is still available, and you can  even have dependencies between normal MC beans and the MBeans.

With  CDI (JBoss Weld/JSR-299) and OSGi getting more and more traction, we  have already introduced these as two new component models in the  Microcontainer. You can for example write services using the standard  JSR-299 annotations or OSGi API and leverage the underlying application  server services, meaning you can write services in a spec compliant way!  In this presentation we will show how to apply and use this new  component model architecture, and how to potentially extend it to  support your own component models.

Agenda:

• Short Microcontainer (MC) introduction
• Developing services with MC in JBossAS
• Why and how to use CDI?
• Why and how to use OSGi?
• Extending the MC component model
• Q&A

Title: JBoss Marshalling - A Better Serialization Framework

Target Audience: Any Java developer who uses Java Serialization

Abstract:

Java object serialization is a notion that is losing popularity in the face of myriad portable object serialization formats and libraries.  However, Serializable and Externalizable objects are still at the core of many applications and frameworks today.  These applications are stuck with classic Java serialization, which does not scale well in many usage patterns, and has many API limitations.

JBoss Marshalling is a zero-dependency framework which allows pluggable marshalling implementations (multiple protocols), flexible configuration (performance tuning, pluggable object and class resolvers and tables, and pluggable externalizers), as well as a powerful cloning API, and is designed for scalability whether you're dealing with small or large messages.  This talk will illustrate the framework API and usage examples.

Title:

PicketLink AuthZ - A Rule-based Authorization Framework

Target Audience:

Java Application Developers/Java Container Developers

Abstract:

PicketLink AuthZ is a Rule based Authorization Framework. It provides the ability to create complex security rules taking into account valuable contextual data. Security “Facts” can include Identity, Roles/Groups, Arbitrary Http Headers, Java Method parameters, Java Fields, Date/Time information, IP Address information, etc. There is no restriction on what information can be used for making an access decision. This is a breakway from frameworks that are designed primarily around the concept of "user roles and permissions".

Technical Features:

• Built on top of a standards compliant XACML rule engine (implementation: JBossXACML)

• Externalizes Security (Logic + Data) from the core application

• A developer friendly component API (insulation from low-level XACML details)

• A common/central SecurityManager for all your applications, without having to write/maintain a separate Security subsystem for each functional module

• Dynamic Policy Provisioning (no need to restart application/cluster)

Title:

CDI and Weld for Spring Users

Target Audience:

Java Developers/Architects who are using Spring and JBoss

Abstract:

A significant portion of the JBoss user community uses Spring for their applications. With the advent of Java EE 6 and Spring 3, how can they benefit from Java EE 6's standardization of development concerns such as dependency injection and contextual instance management, without investing in a general overhaul of their existing code?
The presentation is highly-technical, and developer oriented, addressing concerns such as:
- why would I want to use CDI if I'm using Spring, after all?
- how to use Spring in such a way that it can easily interoperate with CDI?
- how to reuse existing Spring code when building a CDI application?
- are there any differences of interpretation?
- what happens underneath, from a technical standpoint - what to pay attention to?
- what is Seam 3 offering in terms of interoperating with Spring?
The last part will include a demonstration of using the JBoss Tools CDI support as well as the Spring IDE  to create a Spring/CDI mixed application.

Title:

Zen and the Art of API Management

Target  Audience:

Java Developers, Enterprise Application Architects

Abstract:

API's are fundamental for designing and maintaining quality components that are meant to last. Inside the Eclipse platform, we always had a challenge of designing and maintaining API contracts and invented some creative ways to do it. From having people act as "API Police" to manual checking, we learned a lot lessons a long the way in regards to what it means to manage API to build a solid platform. As a result of our lessons learned, we now have first-class tooling to support the design, implementation and maintenance of APIs. Eclipse provides API Tooling to support binary compatibility checking, API usage  scanning, migration assistance and version numbering management. Attendees will learn about some of the painful (and funny) lessons learned by the Eclipse platform team and how to apply API Tooling in their projects.

Title:

Beautiful Java EE - Use PrettyFaces to Harness SEO, Improve User Experience, and Ease  Development

Target  Audience:

Web Application Developers, Marketing Professionals and Entrepreneurs

Abstract:

Java EE is already the  perfect solution for complex business/enterprise systems, and JSF 2.x is  the perfect chance to reach out to the consumer and small business  market. JSF is easier to use than it's ever been before, but small  businesses have different needs than larger companies and corporations.  PrettyFaces is for all projects, small and large; this session will  present why "pretty, bookmark-able URLs" are important for client-facing  applications, addressing SEO optimization, and creating clean,  consistent, intuitive client interactions on the web.

How PrettyFaces works: The talk introduces you to URL  rewriting, storing contextual information, and managing page  configuration data with address and query parameters (resource  identification, table pagination, data filters.) PrettyFaces'  centralized approach uses URLs to retain the state of pages, meaning  less information must be stored in session or application scoped beans.

Rethinking navigation: Navigation from the eye of the client. JSF  supports page flows well, but managing simple transitions from one page  to another can be complex. Examples of PrettyFaces integrated  navigation, hyper-linking via outbound URL-rewriting, and Components will show how  developers gain increased control over all aspects of navigation out of  the box, and how this is accomplished without extra configuration.

SEO: You will be presented with concepts of how to  improve client experience, confidence, and trust through creating a  consistent look and feel - the importance the browser URL plays an in  establishing and trust through all client interactions.

Speaker/s:

Lincoln Baxter, III - Senior Software Engineer, JBoss by Red Hat Inc.

Creator of PrettyFaces – URL Rewriting and SEO  extensions for JSF, PrettyTime –  Social-style date & time formatting for Java, member of the JBoss  Seam Team, and a member of the JSF2 Expert Group; his latest project is ScrumShark , an  open-source agile project management tool.

When he is not swimming, running, or playing Ultimate Frisbee,  Lincoln is focused on improving the openness of Java, the Java Community  Process(JCP), and bringing the J2EE platform  to small businesses and freelancers.

Title: TestedBy: Tracking your test cases' metadata using annotations and Javassist

Target  Audience: All Java developers

Abstract:

Javassist allows a developer to instrument classes at load time and thereby
keep track of method invocations when running JUnit test cases.

The purpose of the TestedBy project (http://code.google.com/p/testedby/) is to
collect metadata that represents the links between the class under test and the
test classes.

The metadata will generated based on annotations on the classes under test or
instrumentation of test classes during test execution.

This metadata can then be used for various tasks like running only tests stressing a particular set of classes
(f.ex. classes changed since last compilation) or give a graphical representation to provide a better understanding of the
entire test suite.

TestedBy will change your view of TDD: You should focus on the class being tested; you will consider the test as
the well-defined contract of your classes or interfaces that defines your API.

I'll discuss how TestedBy does all this magically when you run the tool using Apache Maven or Apache Ant.

Title: Wise: Invoke Your Services Easily

Target  Audience: Application developers using web services in an application server environment
or an enterprise service bus (ESB) environment.

Abstract:

The Wise project is building a Java framework to invoke web services easily,
usable as base for a zero-code web service invocation application.

Wise could be a solution when you need a total and effective decoupling of the client
and server using WS to interoperate. It’s matter of fact that wsconsume
tools is great for Java developers, generating needed stub classes, but it
introduces a new (or renewed :)) level of coupling very similar to CORBA
IDL. Generating a web service stub you are in fact coupling the client
and the server.

• Wise core:
    • Support of WS-*
    • Integration in ESB
    • One line WS calls
    • API to explore the dynamic generated stubs

• Wise-wegui:
    • A tool to help business analysts during validation tests of WS
    • The legacy web GUI and how it has been used in my company during the last year
    • The upcoming GWT gui

• LMS: Logging Meta Service
• The Wise Code donation: why have I donated my pet project to JBoss.org
