Jeremy Grelle, Lead of the Spring Faces Project
Jeremy Grelle is a senior software engineer with SpringSource and the technical lead of the Spring Faces project which provides first-class integration between Spring and Java Server Faces. He is a software artisan with extensive experience in combining server-side Java with the latest web browser technologies to deliver a rich and usable experience for the end user on the web. He has worked heavily with JSF since its initial release and is a member of the JSR-314 Expert Group for JSF 2.0.
Prior to joining SpringSource, Jeremy spent several years crafting large-scale enterprise web applications for the giants of the telecommunications industry. He was a leader in utilizing Spring, JSF, and the latest Ajax techniques to solve a wide variety of problems ranging from inventory management, to low-level network device monitoring, to providing more efficient integration with legacy mainframe systems. He began his career developing e-commerce systems at several web startups where he first became fascinated with bending web browsers to his will and hasn't turned back since.

Presentation: "Simplifying JavaServerFaces Development with Spring Faces"
Time:
Tuesday 10:45 - 12:00
Location:
Grand Ball Room
Abstract: Traditional JSF development has gained a reputation for being overly complex and cumbersome. Spring Faces introduces a host of features that improve the development experience and performance a JSF application. In this session, attendees will see a real-time demonstration of how Spring Faces makes the JSF experience more productive and reduces the pain of container re-starts and verbose configuration.
This live coding session will highlight the features of Spring Faces that make using JSF and Spring together a more cohesive experience:
- High-level DSL for structuring control logic that utilizes EL and Groovy and is both easy to unit test and fully dynamic and refreshable in-container at runtime.
- Introduction of view and flow scopes that fit more naturally with JSF's stateful model
- Reduction in external configuration with no need for JSF managed- bean or navigation-rule definitions
- Easy-to-introduce client-side validation and Ajax
- Flow-managed persistence contexts that enable true transparent persistence.
- Simplified integration with Spring Security
- Less conceptual disconnect by enabling the Spring programming model throughout the stack ("turtles all the way down")
Presentation: "Enhancing Spring MVC Web Applications Progressively with Spring JavaScript"
Time:
Wednesday 14:15 - 15:30
Location:
Grand Ball Room
Abstract: Spring JavaScript is a JavaScript abstraction framework that allows you to progressively enhance a web page with behavior. The framework consists of a public JavaScript API along with an implementation that builds on the Dojo Toolkit. Spring.js simplifies the use of Dojo for common enterprise scenarios while retaining its full-power for advanced use cases. Come to this session to learn to use Spring.js and Dojo to create compelling user interfaces for your Spring MVC web applications.
This session will walk through using Spring.js to add a number of rich web capabilities to your applications, including:
- Decorating standard HTML links and forms with Ajax events
- Linking in partial updates to a page
- Adding effects such as progress indicators, blinds, and popups
- Performing client-side validation
In addition, you'll see how Spring.js can help with:
- Gracefully degrading when JavaScript is not available
- Meeting requirements for accessibility
- Applying progressive enhancement techniques
