"Management and monitoring are often afterthoughts in many enterprise
application architectures. Developers fail to design for manageability because they
think it is too time consuming or too complex. Some are overwhelmed by the
amount of information that can be exposed and the seemingly endless number of
ways it can be aggregated. Others are concerned with the performance impacts of
monitoring deployed applications. As a result, applications are built with little to
no runtime visibility. This can result in critical failures that could have been
prevented through application management.
This presentation will show how management and monitoring can be easily and
consistently incorporated into any enterprise application using Spring. Attendees
will learn best practices for architecting applications for manageability, and will
see how they can achieve runtime application monitoring with minimal
configuration and low performance overhead. Spring provides components that
utilize JMX and AOP to greatly simplify modeling and instrumentation tasks. This
presentation will provide detailed instruction on how to use these components in
the development of every aspect of an end-to-end application management
solution."

The demand continues to grow for rich interactive content, applications, and services that run on a variety of clients. Rich Applications have achieved a new degree of sophistication with requirements to add multimedia and animation. With the JavaFX SDK and Java SE 6 update 10 it is possible to incorporate innovative elements of rich client applications into existing Java software with minimum effort enabling consistent user experiences on the desktop, mobile devices, TV, and other consumer platforms.

This session provides a glimpse into cross-screen applications development using JavaFX libraries such as vector graphics and animation, and media applications with native audio and video. Additionally, this session will illuminate the JavaFX SDK that provides a suite of tools for web scripters, designers and application developers, namely:

JavaFX SDK: The JavaFX compiler and runtime tools, 2D Graphics and media libraries to create highly interactive applications for the desktop and browser.

NetBeans IDE with JavaFX: A sophisticated development environment to build, preview, and debug JavaFX applications.

Project Nile: A set of plugins for Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator that allows exporting graphical assets to JavaFX applications.

Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 10: This new version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) provides a redesigned Java browser plug-in that allows drag and drop of JavaFX applications from the browser to the desktop.

In summary, this keynote session will present an overview of the JavaFX product family. The remainder of the session will be devoted to creating impressive GUI applications with animation and multimedia capabilities using the JavaFX scripting language.

The Spring Framework 2.5 introduced comprehensive support for annotationbased
configuration, along with full support for the Java 6 and Java EE 5
platforms. Now Spring is preparing for the Spring 3.0 release, introducing further
annotation-based configuration options and unified expression language support.
This talk discusses Spring as a modern Java 5 oriented application framework -
covering the core component model, integration with common technologies such
as JPA and JSF, as well as Spring's annotation-driven web MVC.

The Java programming language provides numerous features to support the construction of large programs, but could do more to reduce JAR hell and simplify application packaging. The majority of this Devoxx keynote will describe how modular programs can address these issues, and how Java language and VM features can be designed to make programs more modular while retaining compatibility with legacy code.  In the seond part Mark will also look at possible features for Java SE 7.

Users are increasingly expecting their content and applications to be available across all the screens of their life. Built upon the Java Platform, JavaFX 1.0 provides the tools, APIs, and features necessary to create dynamic applications for the next generation of internet application innovation.

This session starts with an overview of the language, particularly from a Java developers perspective. The session will then dive into the JavaFX scene graph, animation, and media APIs. It ends with a brief roadmap for the future of the JavaFX platform.

After attending this session, attendees will be able to walk away with a good understanding of how to use JavaFX technology for designing compelling rich internet applications.

The talk begins with a brief discussion of the distinguishing features of ORM
specifically Hibernate. We'll compare Hibernate to other approaches such as
straight JDBC and we'll try to clarify when Hibernate is a good choice. Then we'll
move on to review the main pieces of Spring's Hibernate integration, which
among other things will help us understand the value Spring adds for Hibernate
applications. If you're using Hibernate today you may wonder why you should use
Spring's Hibernate integration. My hope is you'll get a solid understanding about
that after this part of the presentation. In the second part we will examine Spring
2.5 features relevant to building data access code with Hibernate and we'll look at
sample code along the way.

Taking the next step in evolution of concurrency APIs, looks at how the libraries will evolve to support many-core parallelism.
