Java Technology on the Client
TS-9180

All the Web 2.0 excitement coming out of Google, Amazon, Yahoo! and the other web giants has forever changed user expectations about how they engage with applications. Also, SOA, compositing, mashable and re-mixable applications have increased developer expectations on how easy it is to build applications. SWT, JFace, Spring-MVC, Swing, and several vendor-specific programming models provide answers on how to build clients for Java applications. Live data feeds, loose binding, service transparency, and other SOA development patterns further complicate developers' decision-making process for application architectures. Not enforcing adherence to standards inevitably leads to maintenance and update difficulties down the road.

Application frameworks can reduce these difficulties by simplifying the deployment of new modules and updates to existing ones on demand. But which framework is the best for your next project? How do you decide? In this session we will take one application, and build it using a variety of methods to explore the benefits and drawbacks of each approach. Working examples and code snippets will also be presented for comparison with each approach we take.
