As architect and designer of Java tools, demos and several professional Swing libraries, Karsten Lentzsch is considered a leading expert in Java user interface technology and pluggable look&feel. He brings a wealth of experience in designing usable and elegant Java application to JGoodies. This talk describes how to build a Swing application that looks good and works well. We present the most critical Don'ts - things you should avoid, and the most important Do's - guidelines you should follow. You learn about simple steps how to improve the appeareance of your visual design, and how to compete with or outperform decent native desktop applications. Several examples for good and poor design demonstrate the effect of the techniques described in this session.

SAML has emerged as the gold standard for building Cross-Domain SSO solutions and is a key technology in the domain of federated identity management. SAML is being adopted at a fast pace by a growing number of enterprises today, no doubt because of the vast industry support for this relatively new technology, which is no less then impressive. During this talk the basic concepts of SAML will be explained. An executive overview as well as a technical synopsis will be presented. What are SAML assertions, attributes, artifacts, bindings and profiles ? What problems does SAML solve, how does it all work out in real life, what is the SAML producer consumer model etc... But also questions like what is the Liberty Alliance and what is OpenSAML will be answered. Finally we'll have a glimpse at what the future will bring.

Java Business Integration (JBI) is a new Java standard, defining a framework for creating service-oriented architectures (SOA's) using plug-in components. This presentation will familiarize you with what JBI is, and the technical underpinnings that make it work. You'll learn about service-orientated integration, interoperable component models, and how the seemingly simple concept of message exchange patterns is the key to interoperation in JBI. This talk will be of value to two developer audiences: those who are interested in building plug-in components for JBI, and those who are interested in building complete integration or application using a SOA such as JBI-based systems.
