Please prepare some unfair, critical, unconstructive and heretical questions about Java EE 6/7. I would like to answer them all with code and explain you why I like Java EE and believe why it is the most productive platform currently available.
See you at 01.12.2011, 7 PM in JUG Augsburg!.It was a really nice, growing conference in Munich. See you next year!
Although you can build Java EE 6 applications with only a fraction of the code that’s necessary with J2EE, many projects are still based on the bloated and exaggerated J2EE patterns and best practices. This session discusses how to build lean applications in a productive and maintainable way. The following pragmatic tools, patterns, and best practices will be covered with working source code, which are especially interesting to Java EE developers and architects: - Mixing CDI, JPA, EJB, JSF, and JAX-RS to save code - Mocking, unit testing, stress testing, and integration testing - Continuous integration and build (Maven 3, Git) - Efficient data access without DAOs - CAP and BASE - Asynchronous CDI events for decoupling and pub/sub - Pro-active JMX monitoring instead of logging
Java EE should be renamed to Java Cool Edition. It comes with a small footprint, powerful features, and very short turn-around cycles. In this session addressed to developers, non-obvious Java EE 6 tricks and techniques, such as the following, will be presented in demo fashion: - Flexible configuration - Implementing plug-ins with Convention over Configuration - Generic logger injection - Integration of legacy POJOs - Observer and Factory pattern killers - Stateful components and always-attached JPA entities - Implementing schedulers and asynchronous events - Comet with Servlet 3, EJB 3.1, and CDI - Easy monitoring with JMX and JAX-RS - Using transactions for speed and consistency - @Singleton, the perfect cache - Automatically starting dependent services
I'm already looking forward to the free && great NetBeans day in Munich:

It was the biggest JAX conference so far. Also the first time the organizer had to "close" my workshop: Java EE 6 Follow Me - You Can because of AttendeesOverflowException.The workshop was amazing. The developers were eager to develop along with me an EnterpriseRoyalWedding application. We had to discuss 2PC (only then you really understand the wedding-transaction) and built together an application with REST,transactions, events, multi-stage configuration, SOAP (was asked for that), unit tests, load tests and many attendees questions.
I was asked to push the code on every break to http://kenai.com/projects/javaee-patterns and announced the URL via twitter @AdamBien. The most popular question in the whole workshop was: "Please show me the index.html again". It seems like the whole Java EE 6 stuff was trivial to understand :-)
During the OOP Conference, at 27. January 2011 in Munich I will give a free Java EE 6 hacking session and will try to explain as much of Java EE 6 as only possible - in the IDE. The registration is free but required. There are already 40 registrations so hurry up. There will be also a free Java EE 6 Hands-on lab after my session - see details.
See you in Munich - I will try to get some free t-shirts and give them to the attendees with the most heretical / best questions.
I reused the three slides from JavaOne San Francisco and re-submitted them to JavaOne Beijing. The talk was accepted:
Session ID: 2767 Session Title: The Feel of Java EE 6: Interactive Onstage Hacking Session Schedule: 12/15/10 Time: 15:30 - 16:15I intend to implement a small Java EE 6 application using a vanilla NetBeans 6.9.1+ with Glassfish v3+ and explain as much of Java EE 6 as possible (REST, EJB 3.1, JPA, Bean Validation, CDI, JSF and some best practices).
Actually I only intended to show a short Java EE 6 demo and then discuss "lean" architectures on slides.
Before the "All Java Rock Stars" keynote, there was a huge twitter wall on the display. I used this opportunity to ask what should I implement in my session Creating Lightweight Applications With Nothing But Vanilla Java EE 6 right after the keynote.
Got several answers, but the most interesting one was the following tweet:
yaloki @adambien a pet shop with EJBs ? make sure @nealford is in the room! #devoxx
