Presentation: "New Features in Spring 3.0"

Time: Monday 16:30 - 17:45

Location: Volmer Room

Abstract:

With the Spring 3.0 release, we have introduced further annotation-based configuration options, unified expression language support and REST support.

This talk discusses Spring as a modern Java 5 oriented application framework - covering the core component model, integration with common technologies such as JPA and JSF, as well as Spring's annotation-driven web MVC.

Presentation: "Transaction Management in the Real World"

Time: Tuesday 10:45 - 12:00

Location: Volmer Room

Abstract: Transactions are a key element of enterprise applications. However, there are very different kinds of transactions out there. Java EE servers are selling the proposition that XA transactions are the one-and-only solution. As an alternative, native transactions are very common ? and supported as a first-class citizen by modern application frameworks. This talk introduces the power of native transactions, based on real-life scenarios that users of the Spring Framework are facing.

Presentation: "Spring and Java EE 6"

Time: Tuesday 16:00 - 17:15

Location: Volmer Room

Abstract:

The Spring Framework is well-known for tight integration with the J2EE 1.4 and Java EE 5 platforms. Now Java EE 6 is coming our way...

  • Where are new integration opportunities emerging?
  • How does Spring differentiate itself from the new programming models in Java EE 6 - in particular from Web Beans?
  • Where is the Spring component model compatible with the direction that Java EE 6 is taking?

This talk will provide an early analysis and give an outlook on how the Spring Framework will adopt Java EE 6 APIs in the course of 2009.
