Besser als Struts, maechtiger als JSF - das OLAT-Framework
SPEAKER: Felix Jost COMPANY: JGS goodsolutions GmbH
Für die Portierung von OLAT (Online Learning And Training), einem preisgekrönten Open Source eLearning Management System in Java, wurden mehrere Web Frameworks evaluiert. Da keines dieser Frameworks die hohen Anforderungen erfüllen konnte, wurde ein eigenes Framework entwickelt, welches die Vorzüge und best-practices der existierenden Frameworks in sich vereint. Das Framework erlaubt die schnelle Entwicklung von generischen und wiederverwendbaren Workflows und ermöglicht es - neben vielen weiteren Features - den Code der Web Applikation in gewohnter "Swing"-manier zu schreiben.
OLAT geniesst eine immer grössere Verbreitung und kann mittlerweile Installationen mit über 10'000 Usern vorweisen.
In dieser Präsentation werden die Design- und Architektur-Entscheide des Frameworks erläutert und auf die Lessons Learned der Entwicklung dieser komplexen Web Applikation eingegangen. Eine online Entwicklungsdemo wird die Stärken dieses Frameworks aufzeigen.
Der Vortrag wird in Deutsch gehalten, die Folien sind auf Englisch.

Developing
on Open Standards/Open Source Database Systems
SPEAKER: Akmal B. Chaudhri COMPANY: IBM Developer Skills Program
This presentation will show how to develop and deploy database applications using Cloudscape/Apache Derby. IBM donated Cloudscape to the open source community in 2004, and more than 80 IBM products use Cloudscape for its portability, ease of deployment, open standards-based Java engine, small footprint, and more. After an overview of Cloudscape/Derby, you will learn how to use it from the command line, as an embedded system and as a network server. The database system can also be used from within Eclipse through plugins, which will also be demonstrated.

Building Cutting-edge Applications
with Business Rules Technology
SPEAKER: Frank Römer COMPANY: ILOG
For many applications, business rules - the part of an application that actually automates business policies, procedures and processes - is simply too variable and dynamic to be effectively managed as application source code. Effective management involves the use of a business rule management system. This presentation explains what a BRMS is and where it comes from. After a demonstration that shows the idea and presents the Eclipse-Plugin the presenter will share several lessons learned and best practices from the experiences of early adopters of the technology.

Transaktionsmanagement und O/R-Mapping
mit dem Spring Framework
SPEAKER: Juergen Hoeller COMPANY: Interface21
Spring's Transaktionsabstraktion stellt einen zentralen Teil des Frameworks dar und ist weitgehend einzigartig, da sie Transaktionsdemarkation (deklarative Proxies, Annotations, programmatisch) strikt vom Backend-Transaktionsmanagement (JDBC, JTA, etc) trennt.

MDSD
Best Practices
SPEAKER: Markus Völter COMPANY: freiberuflicher Berater
Die Verwendung von MDA "wie sie im Buche steht" ist heutzutage mangels Tools noch nicht so ohne weiteres möglich. Diese Session wird daher basierend auf der Erfahrung mehrerer Projekte in verschiedenen Domänen eine kleine Sammlung essentieller Do's and Don'ts vorstellen, die die praktische Arbeit mit MDA ermöglichen. Dazu zählen u.a. kaskadierende Domänenarchitekturen, Aspektorientierte Modellierung, Arbeit im Team und Versionierung sowie einige Aspekte der Toolauswahl.

Recent trends in MDE:
Principles, Standards, Platforms and Applications
SPEAKER: Jean Bézivin COMPANY: University of Nantes, France
Many projects, like the European ModelWare IP, are currently investigating the applicability of Model Driven Engineering (MDE) to change the current practices of software development and maintenance.
The presentation will discuss recent trends in MDE related to principles, standards, platforms and applications. The concepts of systems, models and technical spaces will be shown to found the basis of this new proposal together with the relations of "representation" and "conformance". The presentation will emphasize two current interpretations of MDE, one based on a monolithic unifed formalism like UML 2.0 and the other one based on a variety of small well focused metamodels, each defining a given DSL (Domain Specific Language). Advantages and drawbacks of each method will be discussed.

Springframework
for the JEE
SPEAKER: Philipp H. Oser COMPANY: ELCA
The benefits of the JEE (Java Enterprise Edition, formerly J2EE) can be fostered through suitable JEE extension frameworks. After a few years of proprietary JEE enteprise frameworks, JEE frameworks are becoming a commodity.
The open-source Spring framework has gained a lot of momentum, and seems to become a standard choice. This talk discusses spring, including its concepts, such as dependency injection, interception, templates, remoting, and its data access abstractions. We then continue with benefits of spring and how it is used in an IT services company.

An Integrated Platform
for Location-based Services
SPEAKER: Corinne Kassapoglou Faist COMPANY: Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM)
In the context of a EU project, an integrated platform that caters for the full range of issues related to location-based services (service development, deployment and provisioning) has been developed and demonstrated. The platform serves as an execution environment for service instances, integrates various positioning systems (GPS, GSM-based, WLAN-based), and supports multiple end-user intefaces. In addition, a service creation environment enables high-level service specification in an XML-based language, service deployment and testing. The platform is based on open technologies, mainly J2EE and Web Services. The service creation envitronment is based on the Eclipse Project.

Resource Management
in J2SE Applications
SPEAKER: Martin Kernland COMPANY: Whitestein Technologies AG
Building robust and stable applications has always been a challenge. It is not uncommon that Java developers blindly rely on the garbage collector to clean up the heap memory. Even if memory leaks are avoided, a lot of out-of-memory errors can occur because new objects are created carelessly and then consume all the available memory. Heap memory is just one type of resource that is usually not addressed properly, other resources include CPU cycles, file handles, network connections, etc. In order to build robust and stable applications, the developer must deal with the management of these resources. This area is generally referred to as Resource Management.

The Java Data Objects (JDO) Standard
Overview and Future
SPEAKER: Michael Vorburger COMPANY: Vertical*i
In a first part, Michael will briefly outline the history of object persistence, in particular in the Java space, and then present the Java Data Object persistence standard API. No prerequisite knowledge will be assumed.
In a second part, we will look at recent events such as the JDO 2.0/JSR 243 story and EJB 3.0/JSR 220, and what they may mean for the future of persistence technologies in the Java space.
The first part will likely follow the structure of and use some examples from his book "Core Java Data Objects".
