Peter Pilgrim: Architectural Implications of Java EE 5.0 [Slides]
This talk will give the audience insight into the Java EE 5.0 architectural framework. Peter Pilgrim will provide a very brief history and raison d'être for Enterprise Edition, and the business case for Java EE will be explained. From there the talk will delve into the core feature-set of the Java EE 5.0 specification and the reasons the Java Community Process decided to "re-invent" it. Peter will talk about the simplified programmatic interfaces for the enterprise developer.
This talk will expand on the Java EE 5.0 standard and cover the Spring Framework and Hibernate toolkits. It will explain the ideas of dependency injection and aspect oriented programming. We will talk about the Java EE 5 providers including BEA WebLogic, Sun Glassfish and IBM WebSphere.
If time allows Peter will discuss object relational mapping and briefly touch on tools that are available for Java EE applications as well as performance and scalability issues. If time still allows we might just briefly talk about front-end technologies such as Java Server Faces, Java FX and other rich internet applications.
'Less is more' is the mantra, so the speaker will attempt to squeeze this introduction into just one hour!
