No submission? Got suggestions?

Posted by pierre on January 07, 2005 at 05:05 PM | Comments (8)

There is always a great deal of interesting proposals submitted for the JavaOne conference, and this makes it really challenging for the various selection committees.

In his blog last Monday, Casey Cameron provided good advice for submitters. In my case, I'd like to turn this around and ask potential conference goers for any advice they would like to give regarding the selection of the web-tier sessions and BOFs.

So... what web-tier related topics/speakers/events would make it worthwhile to you at the 2005 conference?

Please let me know (comments below, or email me directly) and I'll make sure these opinions are heard. As a reference, the 2004 web-tier selections are included below. -- Thanks!

  • Stop accepting marketing mouthpiece presentations so you can accept more serious and niche presentations that are actually useful to the attendees.

  • It looks like the only web framework discussed last year was JSF. Is there any room for comparing web frameworks (i.e. WebWork, Spring MVC, Struts and Tapestry) - or discussions that relate to these "rebel" frameworks?
    There are so many web frameworks for Java - it seems somewhat limiting that the only one discussed is JSF.

  • Accepting more talks about WebWork, Spring MVC, Tapestry etc. is a _must_. Of course you can just accept talks when they have been properly ellaborated. :-)
    And, as a general suggestion to _all_ groups, please do accept talks about things people have been talking about, such as those frameworks, Spring, AOP, JBoss etc. :-P Of course some people still want to know about "old" stuff, such as EJB 2.1, webservices, portlets and of course Sun can push some technologies it finds interesting, but keep a 1/3 rate between these things, i.e., 1/3 Hot Topics, 1/3 Sun "gut feeling", 1/3 "Old" stuff

  • It's very telling that people are looking at alternatives to JSP and JSF, and very gratifying that one of the most visible alternatives is Tapestry. You need to make it very clear that you are interested in providing session on what people want and need to know, rather than exclusively what Sun wants to tell them.

    It's a bit of an awkward statement ... the process is so opaque there's nothing you could do that would satisfy most people.

    Therefore ... make the process open. Make proposal submissions public. If a session is in- (or out) by executive fiat ... show that, and the reasoning behind it. Allow public discussion about potential sessions, even voting. Yes, not scientific. Yes, not reliable. Yes, not representative ... but open, and visible, and building of trust.

  • How about a talk on Portals that emphasizes development frameworks? Like how to use Struts or other MVC models with Portlets, or what other best practices in developing portlets are?
    I will agree that talks on competing frameworks like Struts, Spring MVC, etc. would be great, along with other hot topics of the moment (like Spring, Hibernate, etc.), but I think an emphasis should be placed on portals this year.

  • While there are many other outstanding frameworks available, the commentors should keep in mind that this conference seems focused on the competancies of APIs produced through the JCP (JSF, JSP, JDO, etc).

  • One word: Wicket.

    Coming from a JSP backround, I find Wicket's "object oriented, Swing-like architecture" a breath of fresh air. I'd like to see more frameworks like it or at least have more people find out about it.

    I am tired of escaping reserved characters left and right and embedding ugly scripts into JSP code. That design is fundamentally problematic. Please focus on easier-to-use alternatives.

  • I like hlship's idea of a more open process.
