2 JavaOne Hands On Labs , Sun Technology Exchange, Java Technology Day Israel, and Java Day Turkey

June: 2 JavaOne Hands On Labs , Sun Technology Exchange, Java Technology Day Israel, and Java Day Turkey  

I had a very busy June, I gave two Hands on Labs at JavaOne, two sessions at the Sun Technology Exchange, three sessions at Java Technology Day in Tel Aviv Israel, and one session at Java Day in Istanbul Turkey.

JavaOne Hands On Labs:

I co-developed and delivered 2 Hands On Labs for JavaOne this year:

• Building RIA Dojo and JavaFX™ Pet Catalog Clients for MySQL™ backed RESTful Web Services
  • You can read more about some of the example code for this HOL at
    GlassFish and MySQL, Part 4: Creating a RESTful Web Service and JavaFX Client
  • download or view a screencast showing how to develop the RESTful Pet Catalog
    
• Developing Real-Time Revolutionary Web Applications, Using Comet and Ajax
  • You can read more about some of the example code for this HOL at
    RESTful Web Services and Comet
  • download or view a screencast about a Comet Slideshow application
    

• slides, doc, code, for Developing Real-Time Revolutionary Web Applications, Using Comet and Ajax
• soon all of the JavaOne HOLs will be available at JavaOne online
  

Sun Technology Exchange:

• JavaFX can help you build rich internet applications (RIAs) and includes the tools and platform SDK for developers, web developers, and designers to create dynamic applications.
• GlassFish, an enterprise-quality Java EE 5 application server, offers advanced clustering, centralized administration, and best-in-class performance.

• WSIT Reliability Security and Transactions in Web Services
  • Metro is a high-performance, extensible, easy-to-use web service stack. You can use it for every type of web service, from simple to reliable, secured, and transacted web services that interoperate with .NET services. Metro bundles stable versions of the JAX-WS (Java API for XML Web Services) reference implementation and WSIT (Web Services Interoperability Technology). JAX-WS is a fundamental technology for developing SOAP-based and RESTful Java technology-based web services. WSIT enables secure, reliable interoperability between Java technology-based web services and Microsoft's Windows Communication Foundation.
  • you can download and try out WSIT in this JavaOne HOL: Metro: Try Out Simple and Interoperable Web Services and with these lab instructions.
  • You can read more about some of the example code for this session at
    GlassFish and MySQL, Part 3: Creating a Pet Catalog Web Service
• MySQL for Developers
  • If you are a developer using MySQL, you should learn enough to take advantage of its strengths, because having an understanding of the database can help you develop better-performing applications. This session talks about MySQL database design and SQL tuning for developers.
    
  • download or view a screencast of this presentation
• OpenESB and Connecting Enterprises
  • This session  explains and demonstrates several concrete technologies that make SOA architecture possible - BPEL (Business Process Execution Language), JBI (Java Business Integration) and OpenESB. The part of of BPEL starts with an explanation of the requirements of standardized business process language. The BPEL language is then described using an example. The relationship between BPEL and WSDL is also explained. Finally, BPEL designer and runtime that comes with NetBeans IDE is demonstrated using Travel reservation sample BPEL project. It also explains the motivation of the JBI and OpenESB as a standardized application integration framework in the same way J2EE architecture standardized how enterprise applications are built and deployed. Finally Sun's solution in SOA and application integration space is discussed. Whenever possible, concrete steps of building, deploying and testing SOA applications will be demonstrated step by step.

• Building RIA Dojo and JavaFX™ Pet Catalog Clients for MySQL™ backed RESTful Web Services
• Developing Real-Time Revolutionary Web Applications, Using Comet and Ajax
  

• Session ID:       LAB-6771
• Session Title:     Building RIA Dojo and JavaFX™ Pet Catalog Clients for MySQL™ backed RESTful Web Services
• Session Abstract:    
  
  • The goal of the Java™ API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) is to provide a high-level declarative programming model for such services that is easy to use and encourages development according to REST tenets. Services built with this API are deployable with a variety of Web container technologies and benefit from built-in support for best-practice HTTP usage patterns and conventions.
    This Hands-on Lab provides an overview of the JAX-RS API and walks developers through the design process for a sample RESTful service.
    Dojo is an open-source DHTML toolkit written in the JavaScript™ programming language. The new JavaFX™ platform brings rich Internet applications to all the screens of your life.
    In the lab, participants will use the NetBeans™ IDE to rapidly develop JAX-RS, Dojo, and JavaFX applications and then deploy them on the GlassFish™ application server, with Java DB or the MySQL™ database.
• Speakers:       Carol McDonald, Sun Microsystems, Inc.; Sridhar Reddy, Consultant
  

• Session ID:       LAB-5558
• Session Title:     Developing Real-Time Revolutionary Web Applications, Using Comet and Ajax
• Session Abstract:    
  
  • Join the asynchronous Web revolution! Emerging Ajax techniques -- variously called Ajax Push, Comet, and HTTP streaming -- are bringing revolutionary changes to Web application interactivity, moving the Web into the Participation Age. Because Ajax-based applications are almost becoming the de facto technology for designing Web-based applications, it is more and more important that such applications react on the fly, or in real time, to both client and server events. Aajx can be used to enable the browser to request information from the Web server but does not allow a server to push updates to a browser. Comet solves this problem. It is a technology that enables Web clients and Web servers to communicate asynchronously, enabling real-time operations and functions previously unheard of with traditional Web applications to approach the capabilities of desktop applications.

Developing RESTful Web Services with JAX-RS, Netbeans, Glassfish

Developing RESTful Web Services with JAX-RS, Netbeans, Glassfish and MySQL

Yesterday I gave a talk at a the Jacksonville Java Users Group (JAXJUG) on Developing RESTful Web Services with JAX-RS, Netbeans, Glassfish, and MySQL.

Developing RESTful Web Services with Netbeans and JAX-RS


Content:
Lightweight RESTful approaches have emerged as a popular alternative to SOAP-based technologies for deployment of services on the Internet.

The goal of the Java API for RESTful Web Services (JAX-RS) is to provide a high-level declarative programming model for such services that is easy to use and encourages development according to REST tenets. Services built with this API are deployable with a variety of Web container technologies and benefit from built-in support for best-practice HTTP usage patterns and conventions.

This talk will provides an overview of the design process for a sample RESTful Pet Catalog service using JAX-RS. It shows how to build 2 sample clients for the Pet Catalog service one using the dojo AJAX framework and one using JavaFX.
