Java EE 6 & GlassFish v3: Paving the path for the future

The Java EE 6 platform is an extreme makeover from the previous versions. It is developed as JSR 316 under the Java Community Process.

The Java EE 6 platform adds more power to the platform and yet make it more flexible so that it can be adopted to different flavors of an application. It breaks the "one size fits all" approach with Profiles and improves on the Java EE 5 developer productivity features. It enables extensibility by embracing open source libraries and frameworks such that they are treated as first class citizens of the platform.

Several new specifications such as Java Server Faces 2.0, Servlet 3.0, Java Persistence API 2.0, and Context and Dependency Injection 1.0 are included in the platform. All these specifications are implemented in GlassFish v3 that provides a light-weight, modular, and extensible platform for your Web applications.

This session provides an overview of Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3. Using multiple simple-to-understand samples it explains the value proposition provided by Java EE 6.

Getting the best of both worlds: OSGi & Java EE together

OSGi defines a module system and service platform for the Java language. GlassFish is the Java EE 6 Reference Implementation and uses an OSGi kernel to create a light-weight and modular Application Server. There is a lot of activity in the Enterprise Expert Group of OSGi about use of OSGi in enterprise Java environment. GlassFish is a container for standard Java EE applications and also supports what is called a "hybrid application". A hybrid application is a Java EE application as well as an OSGi bundle. It allows application components such as Servlets, EJBs to take full advantage of:

Features such as modularity/dependency management, service dynamism, etc. provided by OSGi service platform.
Services such as transaction management, security, persistence, etc. offered by the Java EE platform.

This presentation will provide:

A short introduction to OSGi
Explain how OSGi is used in GlassFish to provide a modular and light-weight App server
Different ways to manage the OSGi runtime in GlassFish
Change the default Felix runtime in GlassFish to Equinox or Knopflerfish
Create a simple OSGi application using CLI and IDEs and deploy in GlassFish
Create a OSGi + Java EE hybrid application and show/discuss the benefits of such an application

Chess Pieces or Domain Expertise? Your Choice

Posted By: Johanna Rothman on Jun. 18, 2013

Many years ago, I started a job as a contract manager, and it became clear I had a big problem. I had developers who knew one area of the code well. I had testers who knew not much of any area of the code well, even though they had worked for the organi

Type-Safe Web with Kotlin

Posted By: Andrey Breslav on Jun. 17, 2013

We told you about Kara Web Framework a while ago. It is written in Kotlin and relies on type-safe builders. It doesn’t have to be the only web framework for Kotlin, but the general principles seem good, so I wrote an article about these principles

It’s Déjà vu All Over Again

Posted By: Alan Shalloway on Jun. 13, 2013

In Defense of Kanban

Posted By: Alan Shalloway on Jun. 8, 2013

As many folks know, Net Objectives does both Scrum and Kanban. Admittedly, our Scrum is very much like Scrumban (or Scrum done under the context of Lean) but it is still an implementation of Scrum. Scrum, as it normally manifests itself, has several c

The Differences Between Lean Manufacturing and Lean Software Development

Posted By: Alan Shalloway on Jun. 8, 2013

Since lean comes from manufacturing, many question its validity for software developers. Our own experience is that Lean in software is very important. This blog covers three areas: The essential paradigm shift of lean and why it applies even more to

I started my career as a programmer, and over the years I’ve worn many hats, including business owner, internal consultant and manager. From all these perspectives, one thing became clear: our level of individual, team and company success was deeply impacted by our work environment and organizational dynamics. As a result, I have spent the last twenty-five years helping companies design their environment, culture, and human dynamics for optimum success. I’ve written over 100 articles, and co-authored two books–Agile Retrospectives: Making Good Teams Great and Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management. I write about management, leadership, collaboration, organizations and change (or another topic I’m ..More » All Speakers »
