Presentation Information

In the web services world, REST seems very quickly to be becoming the preferred way to expose services. In this session, we will take a look at how to build RESTful web services in Java using the JAX-RS specification. We’ll cover the basics of JAX-RS, content negotiation, custom serialization, and integration with the wider Java EE platform. We’ll also take a quick look at the Jersey Client, and how that can help writing more cleaner clients, including unit tests.

Presentation Information

The Spring Framework and its various related projects have done a great deal to move the Enterprise Java platform forward. The SpringSource group (commercial company now supporting and developing the Spring portfolio) recently released Spring 3.0 in December 2009. Starting in Spring 2.5, the web MVC support has undergone a significant face-lift to simplify web application development. With the new release the Spring MVC module has completed the transition to much simpler model, using POJO-based controller objects and adding extensive support for REST-style controllers and interactions. The talk will cover the overall architecture of Spring MVC, focusing mainly on the new POJO-based controllers now favored over the old abstract controller class hierarchy. Additionally, the talk will cover some interesting new aspects of Spring 3.0 that help solve common application development problems.

Lightning Talks
Wikipedia:

A Lightning Talk is a short presentation given at a conference or similar forum. Unlike other presentations, lightning talks last only a few minutes and several will usually be delivered in a single period by different speakers.

Come prepared for a session jam packed full of information overload as a line up of great minds in our community present in 5 minute intervals topics ranging from JSF to Google App Engine to a bit of Java History and a little best practices sprinkled in.

DON’T FORGET TO REGISTER!!!
