J2EE Persistence: Explore Your Persistence Options
In most non-trivial J2EE applications, persistence of information to a database is critical to ensure robustness, scalability, and maintainability. J2EE developers have several good options for implementing persistence but choosing the optimal solution can be a challenging task. This session aims to demystify the differences between Container Managed Persistence (CMP), Bean Managed Persistence (BMP), JDBC Data Access Objects, Java Data Objects (JDO), and Hibernate. We will discuss the implementation details of these persistence techniques, as well as the runtime and performance issues in depth so that you can put them into practice. Also learn about the latest developments in EJB related to persistence, including how EJB 3.0 CMP adopts a POJO-based entity bean programming model based on Hibernate. After attending this session, you will be able to judge which aspects of persistence are most important for your application so that you can effectively choose the best implementation for your needs.

Java Web Services: Building a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA)
- Part I: Advanced Web Services
Java API for XML-based RPC (JAX-RPC) 2.0 software takes Web services support in the Java platform to the next level. Building on the foundation of JAX-RPC 1.1, a standard component in the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) 1.4, JAX-RPC 2.0 expands the coverage of Web services by including support for asynchronous and messaging-based services, message-level session and security, web service evolution and a vastly improved handler framework.
Security is an essential technology for exposing Web Services outside of the corporate firewall. Most existing security solutions rely on transport level security, which provides security between one endpoint and another. Message-level security provides for more flexible application-to-application security across an arbitrary number of endpoints.
Fast Web Services is an initiative to improve the performance of Web services by using alternative encodings that can be smaller and faster to process than equivalent XML representations. A new standard's initiative is progressing, which builds on key standards, to define how Fast Web Services may interoperate given the Web Service-related standards of SOAP, WSDL, WS-I Basic Profile, and the XML Information Set.
- Part II: Service Oriented Architecture
Service Oriented Architectures represent a fundamental shift in the way applications are built. By moving from big, monolithic applications to smaller, re-usable services, companies can dramatically reduce time-to-market, maintainability and flexibility over the applications they build. SOA defines the type of architecture and interfaces of the application, but leaves the implementation to the specific platforms.
This session will explain the new ease-of-development features that will make implementing Web services significantly simpler than before, the standards that are enabling two forms of encoding, explain how message-level security is built into Java Web Services Developer Pack, explain the best practices for implementing a SOA on the J2EE platform, and provide a demonstration of an end-user application architected using SOA and built on J2EE technology.
Java Game Development: See it, Hear it, and Feel it
Gaming is big business and Java is ideally placed to allow fast, easy development of cross platform games, ranging from mobile devices through desktop PCs and consoles all the way up to back end servers for multi-player interactive environments. This session will look at the different Java APIs and technologies available to games developers and examine how they can be used to produce extremely high quality gaming products.
Rapid Portal Development Using Portlets and WSRP
Portlets are Java technology-based Web components, managed by a portlet container, that process requests and generate dynamic content. Portlets are used by portals as pluggable user interface components that provide a presentation layer to information systems. Portlets are the next step, after Java Servlet technology, in Web application programming, as they enable modular and user-centric Web applications. This session explains basic concepts that are unique to portlets compared with other Web components, such as servlets or components based on JavaServer Faces technology, the relation to Web services for remote portlets (WSRP), and some portlet examples.
The portlet development and deployment will be also demonstrated using Sun Java Studio 7 Enterprise.
Harnessing Open Source and Java.Net in Your Enterprise
In the past, few computer trends have generated as much media hype as the open source movement. Many large web sites have utilized the Apache open source web server to serve millions of web pages a day. A recent survey revealed that Apache holds more than half of the web server market. The open source operating system Linux, now has an estimated 15 million users worldwide.
Many companies have embraced or investigating open source as their business model. The debate rages on about whether open source is a viable alternative to closed source and other hitherto software models. The goal of this talk is to explain from a developer's perspective how one could use the open source model and the caveats thereof.
Attend This talk to get better clarity on what open source really means and also if you would like to take an "under the hood" approach via some examples. After this session you will walk away with a better idea of what exactly open source is and whether it fits your development needs.
J2SE & J2EE Performance: Learn How To Write Robust Java and J2EE Applications
There are many factors that affect how well a Java application performs from the design and code of the application to the parameters chosen for the virtual machine. This session will examine how to improve the performance of your application by focusing on the HotSpot virtual machine and how programs interact with the garbage collector. The session is divided into the following sections:
- Profile of the Java virtual machine workload: What does the JVM do and how is it's time divided amongst those tasks
The HotSpot virtual machine internal architecture: How was HotSpot designed to reduce the time taken to do the things it needs to do and how this improves the performance of your applications
- Garbage Collection:This is an area that can have a huge impact on the way an application performs. What choices do you have in terms of the structure of the heap space and the algorithms used to reclaim unused space? What are the best approaches to garbage collection for different types of application?
- General HotSpot Performance Tuning: This section will look at the factors that can affect the performance of the HotSpot VM. A variety of tools will be used to demonstrate how applications can be profiled to determine how the application is interacting with the virtual machine.
We will then discuss possible approaches to code design that will improve performance as well as providing details of some of the many parameters that can be used to control the runtime characteristics of the virtual machine. Suggested modifications to these parameters based on profiling data will be provided.
