Bonjour, comment Java?

I'll be attending the JBoss World Vegas conference next week in Las Vegas, doing some Java EE 5 demos during Bill Shannon''s (Java EE 5 overall spec lead) talk. The "Java EE 5" talk is at 2:20pm on Wednesday. See the agenda. This will be the occasion to meet Emmanuel Bernard, the lead for Hibernate at JBoss, an expert group member as well. I guess we'll be preparing together a joint talk around Java EE 5, GlassFish, NetBeans and of course JBoss, that we'll be giving in Paris (France) at the JavaDay event June 29th. The agenda mentions 2 interesting talks:

10:25 – 11:25 Java™ EE 5 Platform: Even Easier With Tools
Ludovic Champenois - Senior Architect – Sun Microsystems Corp
Emmanuel Bernard - Hibernate EntityManager Lead Developer - EJB3 EG member

and another talk with Tug, from Oracle Corp, this time:

14:30 – 16:30 Technical Sessions
Session #3 : Developing Java EE 5 applications with NetBeans and JavaServer™ Faces and EJB™ 3.0 Technology
Tugdual Grall - Oracle, Ludovic Champenois - Sun Microsystems Corp

I guess in this session, we'll talk a lot about GlassFish Java EE 5, TopLink Essentials (The JPA reference implementation in GlassFish Java EE 5), and how you can use all these technologies with NetBeans 5.5.



Participation at the JavaDay is free, and you need to register.

In between, I'll take some vacation in a wonderful place: le Golf D'Ajaccio in Corsica (France). Napoleon will not contradict me on this one...
Did you know that the Ajaccio city name is derived from the latin word Ajax? Ajax! I wonder what will be cooking around Ajax in Corsica! Stay tune :-)
