Speaking Sessions

  • Java EE 7 development using Eclipse

    3:30 PM Saturday   Room: 4301
    The Java EE 7 platform focuses on Productivity and HTML5. JAX-RS 2 adds a new Client API to invoke the RESTful endpoints, allows asynchronous client/server, and server-side content negotiation. JMS 2 is undergoing a complete overhaul to align with improvements in the Java language. Long awaited Batch Processing API and Concurrency are now added to build applications using capabilities of the platform itself. Together these APIs allow you to be more productive by simplifying enterprise development. WebSocket attempts to solve the issues and limitations of HTTP for real-time communication. A new API is added to build WebSocket driven applications. Processing JSON structures is inherent in any HTML5 applications and a new API to parse and generate JSON is being added to the platform. JavaServer Faces will add support for creating reusable flows and HTML5-friendly markup. There are several other improvements in this latest version of the platform. The Java EE 7 platform was released last year. This talk will explain how to do Java EE 7 development using Eclipse. Don't miss out on this session to learn all about how to leverage the new and exciting standards in building your next enterprise application.

  • All about WildFly, Only using demos

    5:00 PM Saturday   Room: 4302
    WildFly 8 (née JBoss Application Server) is Red Hat's open source Java EE 7 compliant application server. It contains robust implementations of WebSocket, Batch, JSON, Concurrency, JMS2, JAX-RS 2, CDI 1.1, and all Java EE 7 technologies. Undertow is the new cutting-edge web server in WildFly 8 and is designed for maximum throughput and scalability, including environments with over a million connections. The number of ports is reduced by multiplexing protocols over HTTP using HTTP Upgrade. Role Based Access Control support organizations with separated management responsibilities and restrictions. Roles represent different sets of permissions such as runtime operation execution, configuration areas that can read or written, and the ability to audit changes and manage users. In addition a new restricted audit log can be enabled including the ability to offload to a secure syslog server. It also provides a rich web-based administration console and a powerful CLI for management. Multi instance cluster with high availability can be easily created. You don't even need to download WildFly in order to experience this functionality. Applications can be directly deployed to OpenShift, Red Hat's open source PaaS offering. This session will provide an overview of all these features using several live demos.
