JavaOne Polls: 2009 and 2010Posted by editor on June 12, 2009 at 8:25 AM PDT
Last week's java.net Poll asked "What was most significant about JavaOne 2009?". A total of 180 votes were cast, as follows:
So, just under half of the votes were cast for the sessions of various types, while a third of the votes considered Larry Ellison's appearance the most significant event. The Java Store announcement, which was talked about in advance by Jonathan Schwartz in his May 18 blog post "Will the Java Platform Create The World's Largest App Store?", was considered most significant by some people, but it's certainly not the case that the Java community overall considers this an earth-shattering news event. Unfortunately, no one posted a comment to the poll. It would have been interesting to know what the people who cast 7.2% of votes for "Other" thought was most significant about JavaOne 2009. Did some of them think JavaOne 2009 was totally lacking significance, or were there other topics or events they considered most significant? New poll: JavaOne 2010? Our new poll is in a way a follow-on to this week's poll. It asks: "Will there be a JavaOne Conference in 2010?" By "JavaOne Conference" I really mean a large Java-centric conference like JavaOne -- that is, the poll includes the possibility that there will still be a JavaOne-like conference, but it will have a new name. This was a big topic of discussion in the hallways of JavaOne 2009, so it will be interesting to see what the broader Java community thinks about this. In Java Today, In From JavaOne 2009: Load-Testing Clustered Applications, Frank Sommers interviews Terracotta's Ari Zilka in his article From JavaOne 2009: Load-Testing Clustered Applications: " Clustered applications scale in part by relying on the clustering environment to distribute workload. As a result, load-testing a clustered application must also test how well the clustering infrastructure handles growing workloads. Virtualization can make that task simpler, since virtual server instances allow you to mimic a large cluster environment on a handful of physical nodes. However, as Ari Zilka, co-founder of Terracotta, points out in this interview with Artima, stateful applications need special attention during load-testing..." Peligri announces JSR 330 (Dependency Injection for Java) Accepted by the JCP: "The JCP EE/ES EC has approved JSR 330 (Dependency Injection for Java). The vote was 14 YES, 1 ABSTAIN (Red Hat) and 1 didn't vote (Nortel). Sun, Ericsson, IBM, Red Hat and Oracle all requested coordination between JSR330 and JSR299 (WebBeans). Check out the Vote Comments for the different positions. Better late than never, I guess. Everybody (JCP as well as JSR 330 submitters) have committed to transparency, so we will be able to follow-up the evolution of this story..." Andreas Grabner talks about the new Sun/Microsoft project in Interoperability is more than just talking with each other: "Microsoft and Sun recently announced their Open Source Project Stonehenge at the JavaOne conference. Stonehenge is a reference implementation that shows how to bridge the two major development platforms Java and .NET using Web Services. This initiative definitely puts the spotlight on heterogeneity and the challenges that come with it..." In today's Weblogs, Sonya Barry writes about And then it was done.: "I really intended to blog every day last week. Somehow that just didn't happen. Thanks to all the great bloggers who contributed during JavaOne and kept the community up to date..." Ed Burns writes about jsr-314-comments@jcp.org: ready for your input: "I describe how to get the latest JSF spec and implementation and how to provide feedback on it. Back in March, I was able to deliver on a long-ago-made promise to make the JSF EG discussions observable by everyone. One must accept the legal terms in order to view the discussions, but the process is simple and to date at least 70 individual have registered to observe the list..." And Felipe Gaucho writes about Fiorano claim to be the fastest MQ in the world: "During JavaOne I had a minute or two talking with two Fiorano team members: Vinay Kalra and Sreenivasa Rao Sugguna. Fiorano is a commercial Business Integration Platform, including the lowest latency Java Messaging Server in the world according our own benchmark..."
In the Forums,
And The current Spotlight is View the JavaOne 2009 General Sessions: "If you weren't able to attend JavaOne 2009, you can still see all the general sessions online..." This week's java.net Poll asks Will there be a JavaOne Conference in 2010?. The poll will be open through next Thursday. Our Feature Articles include today's new article by Thomas Kunneth, Hacking JavaFX Binding. In this article, Thomas describes how to apply binding within JavaFX in a manner similar to what can be accomplished using Beans Binding (JSR-295). We're also featuring Gary Benson's Zero and Shark: a Zero-Assembly Port of OpenJDK, which tells the interesting story of how the Java group at Red Hat developed a cross-platform OpenJDK port.
