Organizations are adopting service oriented architecture (SOA) in an attempt to reduce cost, mitigate risk, improve efficiency, and increase agility. But many organizations are finding it difficult to realize these benefits and deliver a significant return on investment. This presentation will discuss the challenges that impede SOA adoption and provide suggestions for strategies that can mitigate risks and improve success rates.

Welcome to the world of Spring- a very powerful framework that opens a
lot of possibilities. More often than not the potentials of Spring leave
people confused. How should an application be designed? What about best
practices? In this talk some of the issues for the architecture of
Spring applications are explained in more detail and typical approaches
are shown. This includes typical solution in areas like

• the design of a persistence layer
• the choice of persistence technology
• how to actually make layering work
• the design of the service layer
• how to do distributed applications with Spring.

The Open Service Oriented Architecture collaboration was formed to create a language-neutral programming model to exploit Service Oriented Architectures. Partners include IBM, BEA, Oracle, SAP, Siemens, Sun, Red Hat and Interface21. In this session Adrian will give an insight into the Service Component Architecture specification, and how Spring can integrate into an SCA-based enterprise
architecture.

At Adobe's website you can read the following about Flex 2.0: "Adobe Flex 2 software is a rich Internet application framework based on Adobe Flash that will enable you to productively create beautiful, scalable applications that can reach virtually anyone on any platform. It includes a powerful, Eclipse based development tool, an extensive visual component library, and high-performance data services enabling you to meet your applications' most demanding needs." We will share our experiences and best practices on How to build Rich Internet Applications (RIA's) based upon Flex2.0 within a Spring and Hibernate enabled J2EE architecture.

The Sun SPOT features a Java virtual machine running on metal, with developers able to write device drivers and other software. Using NetBeans open source tools or standard development tools, SPOT technology could be applied to devices ranging from toys to MP3 players to traditional sensor applications such as environmental monitoring systems and package-tracking systems. Another possibility is gesture recognition, where interfaces would be interacted with via gestures, for purposes such as transferring data on cell phones.

Modern web development requires writing better code in less time with increasingly complex technologies and languages. While relatively new, these technologies pose the same set of problems that Java developers have worked to solve for years. In this session, you will learn how IntelliJ supports you in your Web 2.0 development to move projects forward, solve problems, and hit deadlines.

Mike Aizatsky will teach you to:
* Use intelligent code assistance to code faster and more efficiently in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and JSP

* Check overall site consistency in an environment with a complex mix of languages

* Refactor existing sites by changing their structure without breaking any of the used languages

* Find and clean unused parts of your site code

Magnolia Community Edition is a free, easy-to-use yet powerful enterprise Java content management system based on JSR-170. This presentation by Boris Kraft gives you a further insight in this open source CMS product.

This presentation shows how three open source projects hosted in the ObjectWeb Consortium can be leveraged to build a powerful Enterprise Content Management solution (ECM). The major objective of this integration is to benefit from the best of Portal, Workflow and Wiki components to handle the organization content through the process of capturing, storing, managing, publishing and referencing.

This solution relays on the three components of the ObjectWeb ecosystem and is a clear example of cross fertilization of open source projects:

    * eXo Platform version 2 which is a powerful Enterprise Portal and Content Management solution used by several US federal, French and Italian administrations. It allows the creation, monitoring and publication of personalized contents through a single unified web platform.

    * Bonita is a complete Workflow System offering out of the box workflow features. Bonita increases automation, collaboration and robustness of the platform powered by eXo. It constitutes its perfect companion by providing a workflow engine, a user interface and a process design tool supporting processes for online services.

    * Xwiki is an open-source project to develop a Java eXtended Wiki engine. Xwiki can be seen as a portlet available in eXo portal offering powerful wiki fonctionalities to users. Even more, in the context of a ECM solution wiki pages can be automatically updated by a workflow engine in charge of a document validation process.

The session features short presentations of components. It then deals with a real world use case where they are combined to form an ECM suite. It will show, among others, how documents are created by users through eXo Portal, then stored in eXo Java Content Repository, processed by Bonita and then published in Xwiki.

Are you an IBM WebSphere Application Server customer? Interested in using the Spring Framework? Then this session is for you. As many of you know, IBM & Interface21 have been working closely to deliver value to customers. This session will talk about what we have been doing, and look at examples of how to best utilize the Spring Framework in your WebSphere environment. You'll also learn how to take advantage of new technologies such as JAX-WS, and EJB3 in your SOA.
