SPRINGONE 2GX 2012: THE SPRING, GROOVY, GRAILS, & CLOUD EVENT OF THE YEAR!


Rossen Stoyanchev

Staff Engineer at SpringSource, VMware

I began my career as a C/C++ programmer working on VINES, a distributed directory services product at Banyan Systems. Over the years I've worked on various Java Web applications including a set of multi-tenant e-commerce web applications, an investment accounting system, a trading and risk management system, and others.

I've been using Spring and many of the Spring projects since 2006. I've helped many to learn or to use Spring more effectively through teaching and consulting. Presently I am a comitter on the Spring MVC and the Spring Web Flow projects. My current home is New York city.

RIAs with Spring Web Flow and JSF 2

It's been a year since the Sun Mojarra JSF 2 runtime became available. There is no lack of blogs and articles on what's new and noteworthy. In this session you'll learn what is important from a Spring developer's point of view:

What can I do with JSF 2? What is the status of the Spring Web Flow integration for JSF? What JSF 2 features are supported? How much value does Spring Web Flow provide in a JSF 2 world?

JSF component libraries are the key value proposition of JSF. Consequently in this session we'll use demos to show just what is possible with JSF 2 component libraries such as PrimeFaces (and RichFaces). More importantly through a series of focused showcase examples we'll cover common uses cases and reasons for using those libraries in combination with Spring Web Flow.

Last but not least this session will discuss the small Spring Faces component library, which is not going to be upgraded to support JSF 2. We'll discuss how its key features - Ajax support, modal dialogs, client side validation, and progressive enhancement, may continue to live on.
