NetBeans World Tour and Sun Tech Days hit the road In all the hype about JavaOne, it's easy to overlook that the annual San Francisco-based conference is not easy or practical for many Java developers to attend. That's why Sun Tech Days are such an interesting counterpart. Whereas JavaOne has a hefty registration fee and requires attendees to come to it, Sun Tech Days have been largely free (except for some special training programs) and go out into the world to bring Java to developers where they live. The next set of Sun Tech Days has been announced, and as in the past, the focus is on getting out to where the developers are. In particular, this year's schedule provides particularly good coverage of Asia, with two stops in China, and one each in Taiwan, Japan, Singapore, India, and Israel. So what's in Sun Tech Days? Well, for one thing, NetBeans.org is announcing a new NetBeans World Tour as part of the next round of Sun Tech Days. They say, "join us again when we come to you with demos of upcoming features, IDE tips & tricks, and special guests such as James Gosling. After the wildly popular series of NetBeans events between NetBeans Software Day San Francisco in 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008, the NetBeans team will once again hit the road for a World Tour in 2008/2009." Also in Java Today, James Falkner and Prashant Dinghe will give an Overview of WebSynergy Thursday morning - 11am PT, Sept 11th, 2008. You can join us via a concall (free if in the US, caller-paid overseas) or online via TheAquarium @ uStream.TV. For more details check out the OverviewOfWebSynergy page at the The Aquarium wiki. "Choosing the right data interchange format is an important design decision when building any network-aware software. This is especially true when designing mobile and embedded applications, where attributes such as lightweight and efficient are important characteristics to consider." In a new SDN article, Using JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) in Java ME for Data Interchange, C. Enrique Ortiz addresses these concerns, arguing that JSON's lightweight characteristics make it very attractive for mobile and embedded applications in general. Kito D. Mann wraps up last week's JSFOne in today's Weblogs. In JSFOne 2008 -- great fun, deep content, he writes, "JSFOne 2008 ended on Saturday, and I have to say it was a great show, even if it the whole thing seemed entirely too surreal." Meanwhile, Terrence Barr looks ahead to two Berlin conferences: Berlin.jar and OSiM World. "It's been nice and quiet for a couple of weeks - no travel. Now the conference circuit is starting up again and so in a week I will head up to Berlin, Germany for two conferences."
Finally, Clive Brettingham-Moore discusses schema hackery in Re: customizing with JAXB to return string value. "There are ways to customise complex content mapping, but they are very involved (eg http://forums.java.net/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=296931 ), and pointless unless there is any chance the elements will actually have complex content (ie child elements; the names given don't make that look likely). Unless it is likely that the elements will have complex content in future (in which case a mapping to a string would be weird), you can just use you own local doctored version of the schema that sets the types of the elements."
