No sweat with JBoss Data Grid

Scale, elasticity, flexibility, low latencies, fault tolerance. These are all things we expect from our modern cloud, Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and web application deployments. Tristan and Shane will discuss why these characteristics are crucial to high-performing deployments and show how data grids are the perfect solution to these uniquely big data challenges.

Presenter: Shane Johnson

Bio: Shane Johnson is responsible for technical marketing strategy and content delivery for JBoss Enterprise Application Platform and JBoss Data Grid. Previously, he served as a Java EE architect and subject matter expert for JBoss Data Grid, working with enterprise customers in the financial and telecommunications industries to integrate data grids into their solutions. His interest in NoSQL began when he published his first NoSQL blog post in the fall of 2009 and has grown ever since.

11:00-11:30am

Native Mobile Development with AeroGear, and Apache Cordova.

There are some amazing mobile web applications out there, but what if your app needs to be in one of the appstores, or access the devices camera, or calendar? I guess your going to need to make a jump to full native development, and all the bagage that brings with it.

Or do you?

This is where AeroGear, and hybrid application frameworks like Apache Cordova (formally PhoneGap) come in and really save the day! With Cordova you can leverage your existing web based skills, embracing all the latest JavaScript and HTML5 functionality, and turn it into a functional and beautiful native application.

We're going to take a quick tour of the AeroGear project and Cordova, creating a hybrid application based on some of our quickstarts. We'll be using JBoss Tools as we talk about accessing native features, considerations for cross device projects, and how to access external services.

Today's Rapid Java EE Development: Live Coding from Scratch to Deployment

The myth of Java EE as a cumbersome platform is easily dispelled in this session, which aims to create a working application, from a blank repository to a live cloud deployment, in real time. It:

Covers tools that bootstrap project creation, freeing you from mucking around with Maven POM boilerplate
Generates a domain model and reverse-engineers JPA entities from it
Automatically creates the scaffolding for tests that run in a real Java EE container, launched from the IDE
Pushes it all to production on a public site

Using a variety of projects from the JBoss Community adhering to and building upon open standards, this presentation can create real enterprise apps in the time it takes other sessions to click through some slides. Let’s get building!

10:00-11:00am

Leveraging jQuery plugins to create JSF Components

JavaServer Faces provides application developers with a visual component model for building web applications, standardized as part of the Java EE specification. Component libraries such as RichFaces abstract away the javascript, allowing one to focus on building applications with a rich user experience without fiddling with complex javascript.

However, if you want to provide your user with a rich web experience, and the functionality you need isn’t provided by an existing JSF component library, you can quite easily leverage existing javascript libraries to create your own JSF components. jQuery plugins exist providing functionality in a number of areas. By wrapping these plugins as JSF components, you maintain the benefits of abstracting away the javascript in your application and encapsulating the behavior within the component.

Together, we’ll take a look at creating custom JSF components using both the JSF 2 composite component approach, as well as with the RichFaces CDK, and demonstrate how to take advantage of the many existing jQuery plugins available, providing a rich experience in your web applications.

Presenter: Brian Leathem

Bio: Brian Leathem is a Senior Software Engineer at JBoss, by Red Hat, leading the RichFaces project. An early adopter of JavaEE 6 and the CDI programming model, Brian also is the Lead of the Seam Faces Module. Having been involved with Seam 3 from its early stages, Brian helped the project bridge framework gaps with CDI/JSF integration. A firm believer in the power of open standards, Brian is keen to help shape the evolution of the JSF standard, to be the tool developers need it to be.

11:00-11:30am

JPA vs NoSQL: face the conflict with Hibernate OGM

Hibernate OGM explores how to map the Java Persistence APIs with various underlying NoSQL stores. While NoSQL datastores offer interesting benefits in the BigData world we enter, choosing the right one for your project can be challenging. Abstracting behind JPA relieves you from the programming API/model shift. But is it possible? In this presentation, we will give an brief overview of the NoSQL landscape, describe how Hibernate OGM persists data in key/value stores, document stores, column family stores, etc. and see where using such an abstraction makes sense in applications. After this presentation, you will have a clearer view on how to integrate NoSQL datastores in your Java projects at least via JPA.

Presenter: Emmanuel Bernard

Bio: Emmanuel Bernard is data platform architect at JBoss by Red Hat and member of the Hibernate team. After graduating from Supelec (French "Grande Ecole"), Emmanuel has spent a few years in the retail industry as developer and architect where he started to be involved in the ORM space.
