ND ANNUAL CONFERENCE DESIGNED EXCLUSIVELY FOR SERIOUS ENTERPRISE JAVA DEVELOPERS2

WelcomeAs we plan for our second annual Conference on Enterprise Java, I am struck by the ever-growing popularity of Java. Sales of our Java books, always successful,have been surging, telling us that Java is catching on as more than just some-thing people are exploring, and is becoming a central part of the computing landscape.

But at O’Reilly, we don’t focus our efforts on technology just because it’s popular—we look for thehardcore information that’s truly essential to leading-edge developers and administrators. In planningfor all of our businesses at O’Reilly, whether book publishing, online publishing, software authoring,or conferences, we try to find the technology story that truly needs telling. At our second Conferenceon Enterprise Java, we hope to provoke discussion about Java’s role in the frontiers of computing.

Right now, and probably for the next couple of years, the most important technology frontier isencapsulated in Sun’s old slogan, “The Network is the Computer,” which is only now coming trueas more than a slogan. We’re moving from a world dominated by desktop systems to a world ofubiquitous computing; a world in which individual devices are merely gateways to the global net-work, a world in which your most valuable data may no longer be kept on your local hard disk, oreven in your corporate databases; a world in which you will gather information, run applications,and contact people, from a variety of devices, without necessarily knowing the location of the systems and devices at the other end of the connection.

Java will play a huge role in the expansion of this frontier. Java was written from the ground up as a network programming language. This means more than just making network programming easyto do. In today’s networks, you don’t have control over where your code is going to run—or evenwhat sort of device it may run on—everything from the desktop to the PDA to the cell phone can and will be part of the “network.” Because Java was crafted from the beginning for possibilitiesother than the desktop, it is so fundamentally different from other programming languages (even as it spawns imitators:-) ) that we are still learning all that can be done with it.

In many ways, Enterprise Java developers have been good at “thinking big”—first creating and then harnessing the power of Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Message Service, and XML to seamlesslyintegrate those often large and cumbersome back-office processes and applications that used tostand alone and communicate with each other only through a paper trail.

The challenge now is to learn to “think small”—that is, tolearn how to incorporate small devices and the power of vastlydistributed computing to take advantage of the exciting possi-bilities in collaborative computing. Technologies like Napsterand Gnutella may very well have a place in enterprise com-puting. If you look “outside the box,” it’s even possible to view Jini as the ultimate P2P platform, given its ability to allow networked devices to discover network services on the fly; and JavaSpaces, with its bulletin-board approach to distributed computing, is a natural tool for data mining intoday’s huge and complex databases.

Tomorrow’s Java developers must be able to both think big and think small, to abandon the desktop paradigm andembrace the new global network. This year’s Conference promises to answer a myriad of questions, and raise even more, about what Java and enterprise computing will look like in the future.

We hope you’ll join us for this fascinating exploration.

J2EE Boot CampGeorge Reese, Brett McLaughlin

Sun has put together an alphabet soup of APIs they callthe Java 2 Enterprise Edition. Each individual API hasthe task of supporting a certain facet of enterprise pro-gramming—such as JDBC for database access and EJBfor modeling business components. Though J2EE bun-dles all of the APIs that support enterprise developmentneeds into a single platform, it is up to the programmerto figure out how to put this alphabet soup together tocreate an enterprise system.

This boot camp attacks the problems of enterprisedevelopment. We start with an introduction to enter-prise computing and cover the roles played by each ofthe J2EE APIs in enterprise software development. Thislook at each API provides an introduction to the APIand some hints for using the API in real world J2EEapplications. We’ll finish by showing how each API fitsin the architecture of an enterprise system.

You should come away with knowledge in four key areas:8 What enterprise software is and the many problems

enterprise application developers encounter that arespecific to enterprise development.

8 A basic grasp of the purpose of each J2EE API.8 Helpful hints on using each API in the real world.8 How to architect a complex enterprise application

based on the J2EE APIs.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 Introduction to Enterprise Software8 The J2EE APIs

– JNDI– Java and XML (JAXP)– JSP and Java Servlets– JDBC– EJB– JMS

ABOUT THE TUTORIAL INSTRUCTORS


XML is a simple, flexible meta-language for creatingmarkup languages describing particular documents ordomains. Fifth generation browsers like InternetExplorer 5 and Mozilla can view XML pages directly,but XML can also be used to define formats for printeddocumentation, files saved by programs, and data inter-change between applications. XML is already beingused in areas as diverse as mathematical notation, objectserialization, vector graphics, and meta-information.This tutorial will show how to use a variety of free toolsto design XML-based markup languages, write XMLdocuments, validate them against DTDs, format themwith style sheets, and deliver them to end users.

We’ll get under way by exploring well-formed XMLdocuments. We’ll introduce elements and attributes andshow how to use them to divide data and documents

into a tree of XML elements. You’ll learn how stylesheets allow you to separate your data’s organizationfrom its presentation, and even provide different viewsof the same data or document to different readers. We’ll go from the simpler CSS style sheets to the morecomplex and powerful XSL language. Then you’ll learnhow to write DTDs to declare and organize the variouselements and attributes in your document, plan a document’s structure in advance, and use entitiesdeclared in the DTD to assemble a document frommultiple smaller documents.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 Well-formed XML8 DTDs8 XSLT

PREREQUISITES

Students should have at least a user’s understanding ofthe Internet, and be comfortable writing basic HTML.

MONDAY MORNING TUTORIALS

MONDAY, 9:00 AM


The Darwinistic battle between servlets, server-sideapplets, and other pluggable server-side Java APIs hasended, and servlets have been declared the winner. Thenew area of active innovation is “above” the servletlayer, at the presentation and framework levels, where

individuals and companies are exploring how best tobuild on top of servlets to create effective web sites.

In this tutorial we’ll look at the three most popularalternatives, including JSP (Sun’s entry into the field),Tea (running ESPN.com and ABC.com), andWebMacro (running AltaVista.com). For each alter-native we’ll provide some background on the tool,demonstrate in detail how to use the tool, and examinewhere the tool works best. Discussion afterward shouldbe lively.

COURSE OUTLINE

At the conclusion of this class, you’ll be able to:8 Write JSP pages, Tea templates, and WebMacro

templates8 Program JSP servlets, Tea applications, and

WebMacro servlets8 Make an informed decision about when to use

each technology8 Fully understand the amazing flexibility of the

servlet platform!

PREREQUISITES

Java developer experience; knowledge of servlets is a plus.

SecurityScott Oaks

Security has been a hallmark of the Java platform sinceits inception. The topic covers many different areas: thedefault Java security model, which prevents untrustedcode from performing potentially dangerous operations;cryptographic algorithms that are built into the coreJava platform; cryptographic operations that are avail-able as extensions to the Java platform; and user authen-tication and authorization.

In this tutorial, we’ll survey the entire security architec-ture of the Java platform and then delve into threeaspects of that architecture. First, we’ll examine thedefault Java sandbox, how it prevents untrusted codefrom performing certain operations, how end users andsystem administrators can alter it, and how you candevelop your own programs that modify the operationof the sandbox. Next, we’ll look into the Java extensionsthat perform encryption, including SSL encryption.Finally, we’ll explore the Java Authentication and

Authorization Service, which allows server code to berun only by users that have presented the appropriatecredentials.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 Introduction: Overview of the Java security model and architecture

8 The Java Sandbox– Working with the default sandbox– Working with the security tools (jarsigner,

keytool, etc.)– Programmatic techniques to modify the sandbox

8 Encryption– General encryption APIs– SSL

8 Authentication: JAAS

PREREQUISITES

A basic understanding of Java programming.Knowledge of security fundamentals is helpful but not required.

Understanding the Java Message ServiceDavid Chappell

The Java Message Service is fast becoming a viable communications mechanism for secure, reliable busi-ness-to-business communications over the Internet.JMS is also becoming a required component of theJ2EE platform specification. This in-depth, hands-ontechnical session will make you an expert on JMS in a matter of hours. We’ll cover the basic concepts ofMessage Oriented Middleware (MOM), and introducethe JMS APIs and message delivery semantics. We’llalso cover advanced topics such as JMS messageacknowledgments, transactions, and integration withthe Application Servers, including the EJB 2.0MessageDrivenBean.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 An introduction to the JMS APIs8 Building real live examples, based on the examples

in Java Message Service 8 The publish-and-subscribe and point-to-point

queuing models8 Asynchronous messaging concepts and

synchronous request/reply8 JMS message delivery semantics, including:

– JMessage persistence– JStore and forward messaging– JMessage acknowledgement modes– JJMS Transactions– Failure scenarios, recovery, and message redelivery– EJB server integration including the EJB2.0

MessageDrivenBean deployment considerations,including server clustering, security, and HTTPtunneling

MONDAY MORNING TUTORIALS (continued)

MONDAY, 9:00 AM


XML is a flexible meta-language that is suitable notonly for web pages, but also for application file formats,object serialization, and data interchange between appli-cations. This tutorial will show how to use Java toprocess XML documents, and why you might want todo that.

XML files are text files, so you’ll explore how Java outputs text using Writers and how to use these classesto write XML. Then you’ll see some demonstrations ofthe conversion of existing data formats to XML. Ofcourse writing data is only half of the I/O equation, sonext you’ll learn how to read XML documents fromJava. Input is considerably more complicated than out-put. Fortunately 90% of the work can be done for youby free parsers like the Apache Project’s Xerces. You’ll

see how to use the standard, event based Simple API for XML (SAX) to drive your own programs throughcallbacks.

Most parsers also support a more object-oriented viewof an XML document by implementing the W3C’sDocument Object Model (DOM). You’ll investigate theDOM in depth, see how it compares to SAX, and learnwhich API is appropriate for which tasks.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 Text I/O in Java8 Writing XML with Java8 Reading XML with SAX28 Reading XML with DOM2

PREREQUISITES

Students should be completely comfortable program-ming in Java, have at least a user’s understanding of theInternet, and be familiar with XML Basics.

MONDAY AFTERNOON TUTORIALS

MONDAY, 1:30 PM

An Introduction to Remote Method Invocation (RMI)William Grosso

The tutorial will cover Java’s Remote Method Invo-cation (RMI) framework. By the end of the tutorial,participants will be able to write simple distributedapplications using RMI. In addition, they will have abasic understanding of the problems that typically arisein distributed applications. Perhaps the most importantthing they will take from the course, however, is theknowledge that they can, in fact, understand and builddistributed applications. Simply put: it ain’t that hard.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 Examples of Distributed Applications8 The Architecture of a Distributed Application8 Hello World8 An RMI Development Cycle

(Hello World Revisited)

8 Naming Services8 How Distributed Applications are Different8 Common Pitfalls 8 Q & A

J2EE: A Hands-on Study Jim Farley

Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) is a powerful frame-work for constructing and deploying enterprise applications. With power comes complexity, however;proficiency in the J2EE framework presents a learningcurve even to experienced Java developers.

In this session, we’ll examine J2EE from the inside out.Starting with a hypothetical system design, we’ll seehow the system might be built using various implemen-tation architectures within the J2EE framework. Alongthe way, we’ll see how and where the APIs, services, andcontracts that define J2EE come into play. We’ll also seethe contrast between some of these APIs and services,such as servlets, JSPs, and EJBs, as stand-alone servicesoutside of a J2EE environment, and what new require-ments and extensions the J2EE framework interjects.

You’ll leave this session with an understanding for thevarious approaches to “J2EE-enabling” an application,the costs/benefits presented by the various J2EE servicesand container types, and an overall sense of the differ-ence between the J2EE framework and the collection ofindividual APIs that it is built on.

COURSE OUTLINE

The JDOM Project is founded on the idea that “ifsomething doesn’t work, fix it.” JDOM offers an attrac-tive alternative to the existing XML APIs in Java, SAX,and DOM. It also provides a sturdy underpinning forhigher-level Java APIs, such as those used in data bind-ing, XSLT, XMLC, and other XML-related tasks. Inthis course, JDOM will be covered from front to backby one of its founders and coders. You’ll get a history of the API, comparisons with other XML APIs, and a complete look at numerous uses of the API. The tutorial takes an extensive look at the future of JDOMand its status as a JCP, and includes a substantial Q&A session.

At the conclusion of the course, attendees will:8 Understand the purpose of JDOM8 Be able to apply the 80/20 rule to using JDOM in

their applications8 Be able to convert from SAX and DOM to JDOM

and then again to SAX, DOM, or HTML8 Understand JDOM’s role in XSL/T, XML

transformations8 Clearly see the position of JDOM in relation to

SAX and DOM, as well as data binding, schemavalidation, and new parser efforts, such as Apache Xerces

PREREQUISITES

Advanced Database Programmingwith JDBCGeorge Reese

JDBC is a very simple API in that 80% of what a data-base programmer does in writing a JDBC application ishandled by a very small set of classes and methods.Unfortunately, database programming is not so simple.JDBC handles the complexities introduced in the other20% of database programming tasks in a variety ofinterfaces not normally seen by database programmers.The focus of this tutorial is to expose you to some ofthe less common interfaces and programming tech-niques so that you can build more efficient and robustdatabase-driven applications.

You will come away from this tutorial with a broaderunderstanding of the JDBC and many of the hidden“gotchas” in database programming that basic databaseprogramming may not expose. Specifically, you’ll learn

how to use prepared SQL with JDBC, use the JDBCOptional Package, use JDBC as a tool for bean-managed EJB persistence, and make JDBC calls from a Swing application.

COURSE OUTLINE

8 Review of the Basics8 Prepared SQL Calls8 The JDBC Optional Package8 Connection Pooling without the Optional Package8 Prepared Statement Pooling8 Bean-managed EJB Persistence with JDBC 8 Swing and JDBC

PREREQUISITES

This course is aimed at programmers with some—butnot necessarily extensive—Java database programmingexperience. Attendees should have done some workwith making connections and issuing SQL statementsusing the JDBC API.

Internationalization is the process of writing software insuch a way as to make it as easy as possible to localizethe software to a particular region. In other words,internationalization aims to remove the burden of re-engineering an application when writing for multiplecountries and/or regions. Localization deals with thetranslation of textual elements to a particular locale.There are also a number of user interface elements thatmay be added or removed from a locale to provide theuser with a native look and feel to the application. Thissession will cover many of the aspects of international-ization such as locales, isolating locale-specific data, for-matting of data, Unicode, input and output, GUIdevelopment, and input methods.

You’ll gain an overview and introduction to the manyaspects of Java internationalization and how these fulfillthe promise of “Write Once, Run Anywhere (in theworld).”

J2EE TRACK

Mastering EJB TransactionsDoug Bateman

Programming with EJB is simple, but ensuring your systems are safe, reli-able, and multi-user secure is a challenge. In this session, we’ll discuss transactions, which are the foundation of EJB, and how to use transactionsproperly in an EJB environment. Topics included are transaction types, theACID properties, transaction attributes, properly ensuring transaction isola-tion, designing transactional conversations, and distributed transactions.

B2B Made Easy Using J2EE and ebXMLFarrukh Najmi

The J2EE platform provides a robust infrastructure for building enterprisesystems and creating server side business processes. ebXML is defining anopen and interoperable standard that enables B2B communication betweentrading partners, based on reliable XML messaging. This paper shows howbusiness processes implemented using J2EE components can conduct B2Bexchanges with business partners that implement the ebXML standard.You’ll learn how J2EE technologies such as EJBs, servlets, JSPs, XML databinding and Java Message Service (JMS) work together to make B2B com-munication simple and reliable. The talk will include a preview of theupcoming Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) specification.

Unifying Access to Naming and DirectoryServices with JNDIDr. Poomachandra G. Sarang

With the introduction of JDK1.3, JNDI has now become a part of the Java2platform. JNDI provides event notification for events generated due to thechange in attribute values of a directory entry or a change in the name of the directory entry itself. JDK now includes built-in support for three standard service providers—LDAP, COS Naming, and RMI Registry. We’ll cover the various interfaces and their use in real life situations.

Selecting the Best Distributed CollaborationStyles for a J2EE ApplicationGrant Holland

This talk demonstrates how to select the most appropriate middleware anddistributed collaboration style for any particular situation in a J2EE appli-cation. In order to accomplish this, we’ll present a new model of distributedcollaboration and use it to select collaboration styles for various situations.The model considers JavaRMI, JavaIDL, JMS, and HTTP. We’ll take issuewith the notion that loose-coupling is always less complex and more extensi-ble than tight-coupling.

Developing JSP Custom Tag Libraries Hans Bergsten

This talk describes the tag extension framework introduced by the JSP 1.1specification to allow custom action elements to be developed in a portableway. You can use custom actions, implemented as JavaBeans-like classes, toprocess HTTP request data as well as generate the dynamic parts of theresponse. We’ll use practical examples to demonstrate various techniques,such as processing the custom action element’s body, introducing scriptingvariables, and cooperation between multiple custom actions.

EJB, RMI, and CORBA Performance: How to Build Good Performance DistributedComponents in JavaMatjaz B. Juric

Java developers have several choices for distributed component develop-ment: RMI, RMI-IIOP, CORBA, and EJB. Traditionally, performance is a key decision factor. In this session we will show performance results for

remote method invocation for RMI, RMI-IIOP and IDL (included in Java2 SDK v.1.3), several commercial CORBA implementations, and severalEJB application servers. We will point to bottlenecks and give general andspecific guidelines to follow for developing optimal performance compo-nents and for optimizing current components.

J2EE and Component-based ManufacturingSystems – Opening New Markets in the JavaUniverseNancy DG Glenn, David W. Braun

With the increased availability of web-based market portals, both C2B andB2B, manufacturing sectors have felt the increased demands of customerneeds. Soon the most successful manufacturers will be those who can effi-ciently use the flow of data to make purchasing, production, and shippingdecisions. The J2EE APIs provide the means for building manufacturingsystems that allow information to flow throughout the organization, fromthe factory floor to the corporate boardroom. We will present a vision andsome potential system architectures for manufacturing systems that can beimplemented with currently existing Java Technologies and XML to allowmanufacturers to successfully meet the challenges of the e-commerce revolu-tion. As manufacturing and process equipment becomes smarter and thecomplexities of the manufacturing process increase, programmers and soft-ware vendors will be pressured by the manufacturers to produce COTS(Customizable Off The Shelf ) software components. We’ll discuss howJINI, the J2EE APIs, and XML technologies can be used to fill gaps in current manufacturing software, with the aim of inspiring developers with a wide range of potential markets.

A JSP Tag Libraries-based Framework forWireless Application DevelopmentHitesh Kr. Seth

An introduction to how Tag Libraries mechanisms such as the one providedby JSP can be used to create a reusable framework for building device-independent interactive applications. We’ll walk through a simple JSP-basedTag Framework that illustrates the power of such mechanism to achieve a device-independent layer for application development. This will be adetailed introduction of how such a framework can help us get ready forXHTML.

Credit Card Transaction Processing for E-commerce Web Sites with JavaSean C. Sullivan

Whether you are building the next Amazon.com or a web site for a localbookstore, your e-commerce web site will need to accept credit cards.Simply put, credit cards are the de facto payment solution for e-commerceweb sites. This presentation will provide an overview of credit transactionprocessing fundamentals. We’ll also discuss development strategies for build-ing a Java-based credit card transaction system software for Visa’s InternetPayment Gateway Service. After attending this session, you’ll understand the technical and operational issues involved in doing e-commerce withcredit cards.

Business Rules Automation with EJBMei Tian

This session will cover the author’s experience in automating business ruleswith Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB). We’ll present a business rules frameworkwith distributed component architecture. With this framework, rules can be changed dynamically without changing the source code of the applica-tion system manually. A repository-based approach used in this frameworkmakes the rule management possible.


An Innovative Framework for Automating JSP DevelopmentMichael Alford

With the “use bean” tag of JSP, a page request can access a framework thatautomatically handles the tedious tasks of formatting and validating all datatypes. We’ll discuss a framework that minimizes those tedious tasks and pro-vides a way to easily plug in custom data types and services such as file trans-fer, authentication, authorization, third-party integration, and configuration.We’ll also cover generator tools for automating some of the development.

JMS: Integrating Legacy Systems with J2EE-based B2B, B2C ApplicationsIntegrating e-commerce applications with Legacy Systems is a challengingtask. JMS provides a great solution for integrating Legacy Systems with J2EEservers and communicating with other Systems in the Enterprise.This sessiongives you all the details on developing and deploying applications using JMScomponents in the J2EE environment for B2B, B2C integration.

Managing Components with JMXRickard Oberg

This presentation will cover the Java Management Extensions (JMX) specifi-cation and provide a short tutorial on how to create managed JMX compo-nents (MBeans). We’ll discuss the architecture of JMX, including adaptors,MBeans, agents, and notifications. We’ll see how components can beplugged into a JMX agent and work together with other MBeans, and howto access them. The adaptor concept allows for multiple ways to remotelyadminister an JMX agent, and we will look at a few possible adaptors andthe services they provide.

We’ll explore the various types of MBeans and how they are constructed:standard MBeans, dynamic MBeans, and model MBeans. Then, you’ll learnhow to create a simple MBean and install it into the JMX server. Finally,we’ll take a brief look at how JMX is used in the JBoss application server:how JMX component configuration is done and how JBoss has introduced a custom interface to allow runtime management of services.

JAASAnthony Nadalin

This presentation describes the Java Authentication and AuthorizationServices (JAAS) framework, which was designed to augment the JDK withsuch support. The architecture in JDK 1.2 can be extended in a number ofways to process principal-related information. The purpose of introducing aJava Authentication and Authorization Service is to provide a standardframework so that:8 We establish the basic concept and the common operations related to a

principal on the Java platform.8 Application developers have a unified way to handle principal informa-

tion through a standard set of APIs, even though such principal informa-tion and its management can be platform/system/environment specific.

System or software vendors can produce provider modules that deal with theinteraction and interchange of principal information between the Java plat-form and a non-Java platform, or between two (different or identical) non-Java platforms. With JAAS, Java-based developers can operate these providermodules through a standard set of Java APIs.

You’ll learn how to enable applications to use JAAS, and how successful e-business applications exploit authentication technologies such as Kerberos.

LEADING EDGE TRACK

J2EE Connector Architecture: Technical Overview and RoadmapRahul Sharma

The J2EE Connector architecture v1.0 defines a standard architecture forconnecting Java applications to heterogeneous enterprise information sys-tems, such as ERP, mainframe transaction processing, database systems andlegacy applications. The Connector architecture is part of Version 1.3 of theJ2EE platform. It has been developed through the Java community process.

Scaleable Application Access with J2EEConnector ArchitectureAndre Yee

Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) provides an enterprise component model forencapsulating business logic, but how about accessing enterprise applicationdata? That’s where the new J2EE Connector Architecture (J2EE-CA) comesin. Just like JDBC provides a standard access mechanism for databases, J2EE-CA provides a standard J2EE-based architecture for accessing enterprise sys-tems. This presentation will describe how the J2EE-CA architecture supportsscalable connections, transaction management, and security. We’ll also walkthrough how J2EE-CA is used and deployed in the real world.

SOAP – Simple Open Access ProtocolDoug Bateman

You’ve heard the hype: SOAP promises to revolutionize business-to-businesscomputing via communication using XML/HTTP. In this session, you’ll getdown-and-dirty with the internals of SOAP, and understand how to leverage itfor real development. The pros and cons of using SOAP will be discussed. Thissession is about the reality of SOAP, and won’t have lots of marketing hype.

Jini and JavaSpaces as an Enterprise KnowledgeBase SystemJason Monberg, Michael Wynholds

We’ll review the architecture and code developed to provide our knowledgebase solution. We will also examine the inherent pros and cons of building asolution with Jini and JavaSpaces technology. In addition we will look atproduction work in this area from companies like LifeStreams and offer ourinsights into the direction this technology is heading.


Kris Magnusson

Metadata is all around us, but the Java developer community has no essen-tial facility for harvesting it and putting it to work for business. The BlocksArchitecture is a powerful essential facility for managing metadata, and itsJava implementation extends the reach of Blocks to a broad range of markets and platforms.

Accessing OLAP Resources from JavaJim Farley

OnLine Analytic Processing (OLAP) data sets are distinct from traditionalrelational databases, in that they are typically multi-dimensional data cubes,rather than two-dimensional data tables. Multi-dimensional OLAP datasources offer the potential for efficient data mining and support for muchmore complex queries than a traditional RDBMS. In this session, we’ll examine various approaches to accessing OLAP systems from Java, includingnavigation approaches and representations for multi-dimensional datasets.

Bluetooth and JavaMichael Portwood

Bluetooth has rapidly grown to become a major platform for communica-tions between wireless devices. In this session, we’ll present the capabilitiesof Bluetooth, with an emphasis on its implication to Java developers. We’llexplore the strengths and weaknesses of Bluetooth, emphasizing Bluetoothand the Java Jini technology.

Programming LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ Robots with JavaJonathan Knudsen

The brain of a LEGO® MINDSTORMS™ robot is the RCX, a small and flex-ible microcontroller. One of the development options that has bubbled upfrom the Internet community is TinyVM, a compact Java environment.We’ll describe how to program robots using TinyVM; we’ll include codesamples and demonstrations.

Jini in the EnterpriseAnne Dirkse

This session will cover Jini technology and how it is applicable to enterprisedevelopment. You’ll learn how Jini works, and why features of Jini such asits inherently robust nature work well in the enterprise. You’ll explore howJini can be used with or instead of existing enterprise technologies, particu-larly Enterprise JavaBeans, as well as how a Jini Service can communicatewith an Enterprise JavaBean, and the steps that can be taken to use an EJBas a Jini service.

BrazilRinaldo DiGiorgio

The Brazil project is an experimental web application development environ-ment ideal for web-enabling devices, aggregating content from other webapplications, and building web portals that filter and modify aggregatedcontent. We will discuss the SunLabs Brazil project, first by presenting avision for the future of the web, and an architecture that supports thatvision. We will then discuss some sample applications we built with the prototype implementation.

Java PerformanceLeonard Slipp

While there have been notable improvements in JVM design, the perform-ance of Java-based technology continues to be a concern for organizationsconsidering J2EE adoption. This presentation addresses these concerns byproviding a comprehensive overview of Java performance issues.

We begin by looking at the impact of hardware configuration and JVM tuning on J2EE performance. Then, after introducing a strategy for application-level performance analysis, we examine the performance impactof various Java coding idioms, the core classes within the J2SE SDK andcommonly used design patterns. Lastly, we will look at the performanceissues with respect to XML processing, servlet and JSP execution, EJBs and distributed computing.

Java Memory ManagementLeonard Slipp

One of the strengths of the Java environment (in both the language and the JVM) is its emphasis on memory safety. While this greatly improves programmer productivity, many Java programmers are not aware of thememory-based problems that can arise within their Java applications.

After reviewing the strengths (and limitations) of Java’s memory model, thissession emphasizes that the key to effective memory management in Java iseffective reference management. We highlight reference management issuesin class library and application framework design (especially in the contextof J2EE applications) and provide effective design and implementation tech-niques (including the Reference object framework introduced in Java 2)

Java Management Extensions provides the management instrumentationAPIs you need to create manageable applications of any class while main-taining a short learning curve, low programming burden, and managementsystem vendor independence. In this presentation we will discuss the man-agement issues facing state-of-the-art applications as well as e-business.

J2EE Component Design PatternsThomas Liou

We’ll present various design patterns based on usage in J2EE projects. These include:8 Servlets and JSPs as presentation layer of J2EE server8 Session beans as use case controllers8 Summary objects8 Coarse-grained entity beans8 Client-side proxy8 Session bean chaining8 Lazy storing for bean-managed persistence

AspectJ – Aspect-oriented Programming with Java TechnologyGregor Kiczales

AspectJ is the leading aspect-oriented programming (AOP) package for Java.AspectJ provides fully featured general-purpose AOP functionality in a JavaPlatform compatible package and enables programmers to significantlyimprove the modularity of Java programs, by localizing crosscutting con-cerns into clean aspect modules.

This talk presents an overview of AspectJ, including numerous examples of how it can be used to greatly improve existing Java programs. We willdemonstrate AspectJ tool support, including integration into JBuilder,Forte, emacs, jdb, javadoc, and other tools. This support makes workingwith AspectJ a natural extension of working with Java. You will leave withan understanding of when it is appropriate to use AspectJ, and how to adopt it into your development.

JAVA / XML TRACK

Development with JSP and XSLT Page Generation SystemsAlex Mayer, Michael Wynholds

This is a nuts and bolts look at the issues behind architecture and develop-ment with JSP and XSLT page generation systems. We will walk throughsystems based on JSP and XSLT individually as well as in concert with eachother. In addition, we will compare and contrast some of the leading archi-tectures developed around supporting JSP, XSLT, and combined systems.Benchmarks from our work in this area will also be provided.

JMS as XML and Object-based MessagingIntegration InfrastructureSam Borgeson, Michael Wynholds

This presentation will provide architecture and implementation detailsaround the integration infrastructure built with JMS at the core. We’ll alsoaddress details of when and how to use XML as opposed to Object-basedmessages. Finally, we’ll review platform and architecture performance data to offer arguments for and against such a system.

J2ME and XMLJonathan Knudsen

Your mobile telephone is on the Internet now. Expand your options as adeveloper by learning how to convince small devices that support the MIDPto speak XML. Liberal code examples illustrate how to get the job done.

XML Data BindingBrett McLaughlin

As XML has continued to mature, higher level XML APIs are growing even more popular than the existing low-level APIs such as SAX, DOM,and JDOM. Chief among these new high-level APIs is data binding.Described in Sun’s JSR-031, and implemented in various ways throughoutthe Java community, data binding is ideal for configuration as well as com-munication-based applications that rely on XML as a data format, but stillwant to interact with pure Java code. In this session, we’ll look at data bind-ing in detail, both conceptually and as it is represented in Sun’s JSR. We’llcomment on several implementations, including Castor and Enhydra’s databinding projects and Project Adelard, Sun’s data binding reference imple-mentation. We’ll also cover the involvement of XML and related schemas indetailing XML-to-Java conversions.

Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) Version 1.1Edwin Goei

This session will describe the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP), a plug-gable API that allows applications to use a different XML processor withouthaving to rewrite application code. We will describe the parsing API firstintroduced in JAXP Version 1.0 and then move on to explore the new XSLT transformation APIs introduced in the latest version of JAXP,Version 1.1. We will present example code fragments of typical usage.

ebXMLBill SmithFor a description of this session, go to conferences.oreilly.com/java2001

VoiceXML – Overview, Opportunities, and ChallengesHitesh Kr. Seth

A look into the upcoming standard for distributed voice-based applicationdevelopment, VoiceXML. The session includes a detailed technical introduc-tion to the standard and its relevance to the mobile/wireless arena and illus-trates how interactive and distributed applications can be built aroundVoiceXML using a number of demonstrations. We’ll also highlight howVoiceXML fits in and compares with the other initiatives/standards in themobile world particularly WAP/WML. We’ll show you previously createdVoiceXML-based demos using a regular phone.

RDFWilliam Grosso

In this talk, we will cover the basics of the Resource Description Format(RDF). The focus will be on the underlying data model, and how RDFenables object-oriented modeling techniques to be used in conjunction withthe World Wide Web. By the end of the talk, you will have a good idea ofwhat RDF makes possible and what the current state of the technology is.

Emerging XML StandardsGordon van Huizen

Initiatives such as ebXML, UDDI, and the Java API for XML Messaging(JAXM) promise to have a significant impact on how organizations willconduct electronic business in the near future. ebXML and UDDI aim tospecify a platform- and vendor-neutral XML-based framework for dis-covering potential business partners and conducting e-business transactions,while JAXM offers a Java API for packaging and transporting e-businessmessages based upon such frameworks. This session will provide anoverview of the emerging specifications that will enable an open, standards-based electronic market, and the impact that these initiatives will have uponJava developers. We will also discuss the relationship between these e-business standards and XML transport protocols such as SOAP and thenew W3C XML Protocol.

OPEN SOURCE TRACK

Why Open Source Tools Will RevolutionizeSoftware Development – A Panel DiscussionMark Herring

Open source has moved into the world of mainstream development. This isgood news for developers, giving them access to multiple sources of innovationand a virtual neighborhood of experts who can benefit from the opportunity tolearn from each other. This panel features experts from Sun Microsystems,Collab.Net, and other organizations committed to open source development,discussing the benefits of an open source tools framework.

A Framework for Multilingual, Device-Independent Web SitesDr. Marc J. Hadley

This paper describes a framework for creating multilingual, device-independent web sites using XML and Java Servlets as the enabling tech-nologies. Key features of the framework include the separation of page con-tent from style and the use of parameterised dynamic document assembly toallow on-the-fly construction of web pages in a target language styled for aparticular web access device.

Building Industrial Strength 100% Open Source J2EE SolutionsEd Lyons

Recently it has become possible to implement a complete Java enterprisesolution using only open source components. But which ones work best? Ed Lyons has extensive experience in creating durable open-source J2EEsolutions by knowing what the bugs and integration issues are. In this ses-sion we will discuss what’s out there (PostgreSQL, jBoss, Enhydra,OpenEJB, Tomcat, etc.) and demonstrate the development and deploy-ment of a complete open source solution using EJBs, Servlets, and JSPs.

OpenJMSJim Alateras

Messaging has always been a primary player in the middleware market, butit is now experiencing more executive attention as companies focus on B2Band EAI solutions. JMS is a Java specification for a messaging service, pro-duced by Sun Microsystems, that attempts to provide a consolidated clientinterface to a messaging service.

This session will cover a brief history of messaging, MOMs, and messagebrokers. We’ll outline the JMS specification and its history, covering the vari-ous messaging models and quality-of-service offerings, and discuss someadvanced features, including XA and Application Server Facility, and explorethe landscape of JMS solutions, both commercial and non-commercial.

Our main focus will be the OpenJMS open source implementation spon-sored by ExoLab (www.exolab.org). We’ll cover its history and architectureand go into more detail on the client and server libraries. In addition, we’ll

explore the routing capabilities, support for federation, and options for scalability and availability. Finally, we will discuss its provision for the EJB2.0 Message Driven Bean and integration with Application Servers, endingwith a brief tour of the development environment and tools.

Dynamic Wireless Application Developmentwith Open Source TechnologiesKeith Bigelow

As a developer, you’ll come away from this session with a clear understand-ing of standards-based methods to develop and deploy dynamic applicationsto wireless devices (PDAs, cell phones, automobiles, etc.), as well as anintroduction to the software to provide these solutions. Through the cre-ation of a sample application, you’ll learn how to write applications thatcleanly separate presentation logic from business logic, and thus easily targetboth HTML and WML client devices.

Apache: It’s Not Just for Web Servers AnymoreJames Duncan Davidson

Apache is known as the most popular web server on the planet. However,the people behind Apache have created something much more valuable. As a result of the work on the Apache Webserver, an Open Developmentmethodology matured. In the past year, the core Apache Group created theApache Software Foundation, which is chartered with development of avariety of projects, including the Apache Webserver, Tomcat, Ant, Xalan,Xerces, and Cocoon.

You’ll come away from this talk with an overview of the Apache SoftwareFoundation, the creation of the Jakarta project that contains the Tomcat andAnt codebases, and the structure of the rest of the organization including theXML project with the Xerces, Xalan, and Cocoon codebases.

How to Use jBossMarc Fleury

jBoss is a third generation container. We believe J2EE servers are going tolive in various environments. Some live in standalone mode, (i.e., most ofthe industry “app server” field today), some live in embedded configurationsin tools and applications where a given product includes a J2EE container,and still others will flourish in the ASP/ISP arena. jBoss, with its modulararchitecture based on JMX, is the first and leading container to addressthese varied needs. This session will present the configuration of a J2EEserver through JMX at startup time. We will show the “spine,” the bare JMXserver, and the mechanisms that load the modules and plugins and theirconfigurations that make up the different servers in standalone and embed-ded modes. We will also show how to extend the server with custom classesand have them integrate in the J2EE server classes. We will show the usageof the management interfaces to deploy and administer farms of jBossservers through JMX and Jini for ISP/ASP usage.
