JavaEE.Next(): Java EE 7, 8, and Beyond

8:30 AM MDT

Java EE 7 is around the corner and the horizons for Java EE 8 are emerging. This session looks into the key changes the community can expect. The goal of this session is to foster interest and discussion around these changes.

Some of the changes discussed include retiring EJB 2 entity beans and JAX-RPC, greater alignment with CDI, WebSocket/HTML 5 support, a standard API for JSON processing, the next version of JAX-RS, an overhaul of JMS, long-awaited concurrency utilities, batch processing in Java EE and much, much more.

JMS.Next(): JMS 2.0 and Beyond

10:30 AM MDT

JMS is the Java standard for accessing enterprise messaging systems. This session introduces JMS 2 (JSR 343), the first update in more than a decade and easily the longest-awaited component of the forthcoming Java EE 7 standard.

The biggest new feature of JMS 2 is a new API that makes JMS much easier to use, especially in a Java EE application. JMS 2 also provides API features to support greater scalability as well as additional messaging features and a long list of minor enhancements and clarifications. With JMS 2 final with Java EE 7, now is an ideal time to find out more about it.

In this session, we will also discuss what might be next for the JMS specification.

Applied Domain-Driven Design Blue Prints for Java EE

9:00 AM MDT

Domain-Driven Design (DDD) promises to simplify enterprise application development and is gradually gaining traction as an alternative to traditional four-tier architectures originally popularized by J2EE. As the name implies, DDD is an architectural approach that strongly focuses on materializing the business domain in software. This session demonstrates first-hand how DDD can be implemented using Java EE via a project named Cargo Tracker.

Part of the Java EE Blue Prints, Cargo Tracker seamlessly maps concepts like bounded contexts, layered architectures, entities, value objects, aggregates, services, repositories and factories to realistic code examples. The Cargo Tracker project also embraces popular practices adopted by the DDD community such as Object Oriented Analysis, Domain Models, Test Driven Development, Agile Refactoring, Continuous Integration, Object Relational Mapping, Dependency Injection and Cross-Cutting Concerns, incorporating these concepts into a realistic Java EE application.

JAX-RS.Next(): JAX-RS 2 and Beyond

5:00 PM MDT

JAX-RS 2 is the new standard Java API for RESTful Web services and a major leap forward in the features and use cases covered by the API. The purpose of this technical session is to elaborate on all the new features being introduced as part of this major API revision.

This session explores the new client API, concepts behind filters and interceptors API, and asynchronous processing support. Other new features it covers include data validation support and improved support for hypermedia and server-side content negotiation. The last part of the session also briefly outlines future plans and focus areas.

Java EE 7 with JavaScript/HTML5 Rich Clients

9:00 AM MDT

The sea change in HTML 5 is likely to shift the pendulum away from today's thin-client based server-side web frameworks like Struts 2 and JSF to JavaScript powered next generation rich clients. With strong support for REST, WebSocket and JSON, Java EE 7 is well positioned to adapt to this change.

In this heavily code driven session, we will show you how you can utilize today's most popular JavaScript rich client technologies like AngularJS, Backbone, Knockout and Ember to utilize the core strengths of Java EE using JAX-RS, JSR 356/WebSocket, JSON-P, CDI and Bean Validation.

NoSQL with ~JPA, EclipseLink and Java EE

10:45 AM MDT

This session explores how NoSQL solutions like MongoDB, Cassandra, Neo4j, HBase and CouchDB can be used in a Java EE application with or without a JPA centric facade.

Although the primary focus is on EclipseLink NoSQL, we will also cover Hibernate OGM, EasyCassandra, Morphia, etc as well as seeing how NoSQL can be used natively via basic CDI injection.
