  • JavaOne 2010 – Developing Composite Applications for the Cloud with Apache Tuscany (SCA)

    A great take on a great technology, SCA (Service Component Architecture), was given by Jean-Sebastien Delfino (IBM) and Luciano Resende (Shutterfly). Can Tuscany (a SCA  implementation) shield you from the complexities of component assembly/component integration/deployment/inter-component communications/client protocols/… in the Cloud? It turns out that many of these problems are not specific to the Cloud, they…

  • JavaOne 2010 – Keeping your options open if the Cloud is not

    This was one of the best presentations at JavaOne, probably due to the oratory talents of Doug Tidwell. Doug presented libcloud and the Simple Cloud API, respectively a common library for interacting with the popular cloud server providers and controlling their VMs (reboot/create/destroy/list/images) and a  common interface for the three most common cloud application services…

  • JavaOne 2010 – Effective XML: Leveraging JAXB and SDO

    Blaise Doughan (Team lead for the TopLink and the EclipseLink JAXB & SDO projects) gave a very informative talk comparing and contrasting two mapping technologies: JAXB and SDO. By the way let me make it clear that mapping and binding are two distinct things: In this context, a mapping framework maps a Java Class to…

  • JavaOne 2010 – Enabling Transformation Through the Cloud (a non-IT perspective)

    This round-table gathered four KPMG consultants (Steve Hill, Egidio Zarello, John Cummings and Mark Foreman) to discuss the adoption of the Cloud from a business perspective. A few good points were made during the hour that the roundtable lasted, although these points could have easily been delivered in half an hour without any loss of…

  • JavaOne 2010 – Patterns for modularity

    This BOF featured Jaroslav Tulach, founder of NetBeans,along with Anton Epple and Zoran Sevarac. It was not really about new technology but about formalizing the approach and terminology for building modular systems. The talk targeted both desktop and server developers. The premise was that OO alone did not deliver on code-reuse hence the need to…

  • JavaOne 2010 – OpenJDK BOF

    The OpenJDK BOF was an informal Q&A session, attendees were free to ask JDK-related questions and Kelly O’Hair, Dalibor Topic and Mark Reinhold were there to answer. I think that this setup was appropriate for such a sensitive topic given the degree of anxiety of the Java community and probably the state of mind of…

  • JavaOne 2010 – Enterprise Service Bus, Lessons from the field

    Good presentation about the ESB adoption for a major web site, nfl.com. The two presenters, Earl Nolan and Monal Daxini, were eager to share their pain points during the adoption of Mule as the ESB (Enterprise Service Bus). Unfortunately Mule was the only ESB discussed, but during the Q&A the presenters admitted that Spring Integration…

  • JavaOne 2010 – JAX-WS.Next: Future Directions and Community Input

    I thought that I should mention an interesting BOF: JAX-WS.Next: Future Directions and Community Input. JAX-WS, as you know, is the worthy successor of JAX-RPC, improving on it in many ways and it has become increasingly important since most app servers are supporting web profiles. It is pretty much the standard way of doing web…

  • JavaOne 2010 – KeyNote

    I decided to attend the JavaOne KeyNote hoping to hear some important announcements even if the price to pay was pretty steep; you do have to sit after all in a huge auditorium and stoically listen to executives going through an incredibly boring, extremely well rehearsed (to the point of being comically predictable) and amazingly…
