Oracle Coherence enables in-memory data management for clustered J2EE applications and application servers that makes sharing and managing data in a cluster as simple as on a single server. Developers can easily take advantage of Coherence features using the standard Java collections API to access and modify data, and use the standard JavaBean event model to receive data change notifications.
This session will introduce Coherence and explore how it can be used to reliably cluster, scale-out and obtain high-performance continuous availability for data and stateful applications.
Shaun Smith is co-lead of the Eclipse Dali Java Persistence API Tools Project, Ecosystem Development Lead for the Eclipse Java Persistence Platform (EclipeLink), a committer on the EMF Tools Teneo project, and a product manager for Oracle TopLink.
He's been building systems using object-relational mapping technologies for a decade in both Java and Smalltalk in the energy, telecommunications, and banking industries. Prior to joining the TopLink team at Oracle, Shaun was a consultant specializing in application architecture and agile software development methods with a particular focus on developing enterprise applications using test driven design. He's a SpringOne alumni speaker and a frequent conference presenter having recently spoken at EclipseCon, EclipseWorld, The Server Side Symposium, JavaPolis, and JavaOne.
Large scale development of enterprise java solutions— You will get some insights into the development process at the NetWeaver Product Technology Unit and SAP applications build on top of the NetWeaver platform. We will share how we build large scale enterprise java solutions at SAP.
Java persistence - a Heretic's demonstration— The Java world is a thriving 'think tank' where the future of computing is created, a place of open-minded exploration. Nevertheless, there are taboos that the Java world seems reluctant to address. Weakly typed languages was one that has been confronted only recently, with JSR223. Object-oriented databases attract a lot of sympathy and precious little support. Everything that would stray too far away from the 'canon' of Java and JavaEE is, in reality, often considered with suspicion.
Guice— Put simply, Guice alleviates the need for factories and the use of new in your Java code. Think of Guice's @Inject as the new new. You will still need to write factories in some cases, but your code will not depend directly on them. Your code will be easier to change, unit test and reuse in other contexts.
JSR 303 - Bean Validation— Validating data is a common task that is copied in many different layers of an application, from the presentation tier to the persistence layer. Many times the exact same validations will have to be implemented in each separate validation framework, proving time consuming and error-prone. To prevent having to re-implement these validations at each layer, many developers will bundle validations directly into their classes, cluttering them with copied validation code that is, in fact, meta-data about the class itself.
Leading Open Source Middleware in Action— OW2 Members present and demonstrate leading OW2 projects working together to provide a full-featured open source information system based on Exo, XWiki, Bonita, JOnAS, SpagoBI, Talend, PEtALS, Orchestra and Spegic.
