If you are attending JavaOne 2007 and are interested in learning more about mashups, the talk titled Blueprints for Mashups: Practical Strategies, Tips, and Code for Designing and Building (TS-6676) should be a good talk to attend. Its on May 10, 2007 10:55 to 11:55. Since not everyone can attend JavaOne, I will try to blog soon about the contents in the talk and maybe post the slides after JavaOne.

There are now a lot of Ajax and Java presentations from JavaOne 2006 available online and free. The Java BluePrints talk for JavaOne 2006 is online and free. The talk "Java BluePrints for Ajax-Enabled Web 2.0 Applications" discusses design choices for building a web application on the Java EE 5 platform: using Java with Ajax, mash-ups, adding user participation and uploading of content, using Java Persistence APIs for the model tier, applying patterns, and other topics.

We use the new Java Petstore 2.0 and discuss some of the design issues considered when building the application.

Need a Reference Application or BluePrint for AJAX and Java?

Designing and building a web application using AJAX and Java EE 5 can present a lot of challenges to developers: how much AJAX to use, how to apply Model View Contoller and other design patterns, how to build your domain model with Java Persistence APIs, whether to return XML or HTML or JSON to XMLHttpRequests, how to leverage RSS feeds as data sources, how to mash up with Google Map APIs to provide location-specific searches of your data, how to wrap AJAX in JSF components, and many other challenges. The Java Pet Store 2.0, Early Access, provides a reference application illustrating the blueprints for designing a complex AJAX web application on Java EE 5. Download the first public release of Java Pet Store 2.0 and explore this reference application.
