Five Aspects You Don't Know About
Aspect-oriented programming has been around for quite some time now. Today, AOP is used in a wide range of applications to solve a wide variety of problems. However, some of those solutions are not very well-known to the general Java development community. In this session, Alef will explore several aspects he has seen used in real-world projects.
Simplifying CRUD Web Applications
CRUD (create/read/update/delete) actions on domain entities are a significant part of what database-backed web applications are about. Frameworks like Ruby on Rails apply useful conventions that simplify implementing CRUD functionality. These same conventions can be applied in a Spring Web environment to deliver great productivity gains. Come to this session to see how to efficiently implement CRUD actions end-to-end in your Spring Web application.
Mattias Arthursson - Lead of Spring LDAP

Jennifer Hickey - Senior Software Engineer at SpringSource
Enterprise Application Management with Spring
Designing your enterprise application for management can be a daunting task. Developers need runtime visibility into their application once it is deployed, but often times are faced not only with the challenge of how to provide this visibility but also with the challenge of determining how much visibility to provide. In this session, you will learn practical techniques that can be used to address these issues. You will also see how Spring can play a role both in building manageability into your enterprise applications and in managing those applications once they are deployed.
Hal Hildebrand - Architect, Oracle Java Products, OSGi Expert
From the Oracle Trenches: Laying the Foundation for the Next Generation Application Server

This session will provide a behind the scenes look at the challenges and results of this work.
Juergen Hoeller - Co-founder of the Spring Framework Project
Configuring Spring with Annotations
In this session, we will take a deep-dive into annotation-based dependency injection with Spring 2.5. You will learn how to combine annotation and XML formats, how to customize component scanning, and how to leverage Java 6 annotations within a Spring application. Since there is no "one size fits all" solution to application configuration, we will wrap up the discussion with general guidelines to consider when employing this approach.
Spring on Java EE
The Spring Framework is well known as a "Java EE" application framework. However, what does this really mean in terms of Java EE platform features and platform integration? This session discusses Spring 2.5's Java EE support in detail, focusing on advanced integration with specific servers, covering J2EE 1.4 as well as Java EE 5 editions of common server products.
The Power of Native Transactions
A key piece of every Java EE server is the XA transaction coordinator, responsible for handling all transactional needs in a server environment. However, many applications do not need distributed XA transactions in the first place; native database transactions are often a more efficient and more powerful option. This talk illustrates Spring's support for native database and messaging transactions in various scenarios, including the use of multiple native resources within the same transaction.
What's New in Spring 2.5?
This session provides a practical tour through what's new in Spring. If you are using Spring 2.0 and seek the most bang for your buck when upgrading to Spring 2.5, this session is for you. If you are not yet using Spring this is the place to be to get a good overview of the latest developments.

Task-Focused Programming with Eclipse Mylyn
Mylyn's task-focused UI is changing the way that developers work. Current IDEs overload us with the tens of thousands of artifacts that make up an enterprise application, and as a result we spend more time searching, scrolling, and navigating than we do programming. Eclipse Mylyn is the solution to this problem. The talk will start with live demos to show you what Mylin can do and will conclude with a showcase of popular development tools that integrate with this cutting-edge technology.

From "Hello World" to Real World : Building Web Apps with Spring-DM
As a matter of good design and best practice, we all know we should divide our application code into logical layers or modules that can be developed independent of each other. But if modularization is a good practice to follow as we write our code, why do we package it all up into a monolithic WAR file for deployment?
Spring Cleaning: Tips for Managing XML Clutter
A common complaint about Spring is the vast amount of XML required to configure an application. In this presentation, I'll show you ways to reduce or even eliminate much of the XML required to configure Spring.
Spring in Action: Fundamentals for Developing Spring Apps
Spring has been one of the most exciting frameworks to emerge in the past few years. With Spring you can decouple your application's objects, enrich them with AOP, and apply transactional boundaries and security to them declaratively. It simplifies data access, remoting, web services, and JMS. It comes with its own web framework. And, even though Spring eliminates much of the need for EJBs, it will still integrate nicely with any EJBs you may have lying around. What's not to love?

Hal Hildebrand
Architect, Oracle Java Products, OSGi Expert
Hal Hildebrand arrived on earth some eons ago when his physical essence filtered down from the stars, and he took human form. Lingering for awhile on the plateau of Leng while waiting for the apes to evolve, he eventually mingled among human society, generally without being detected, although the century he spent staked out in a peat bog in Denmark was rather unpleasant and not something he'd care to repeat. Once computers were invented he became involved in distributed systems in the hope that enough insider knowledge would, at the right time, allow him to convince the artificial intelligence in control to bypass electronic security measures on the first translight spacecraft and allow him to return to the stars. This is probably still some time away. Until then he spends his time as an architect at Oracle, working on cracking the Dharma cycle of large scale distributed systems and autonomic control.

Co-founder of the Spring Framework Project
Juergen has been the most active Spring developer since the open source project began from Rod's Interface21 framework back in February 2003. Juergen and Rod together continue to provide the direction for Spring.

Juergen is an experienced consultant, with outstanding expertise in web applications, transaction management, O/R mapping technologies, and lightweight remoting. He has specialized in J2EE since early 2000, having held technology leader positions in various projects ranging from enterprise application integration to web-based data visualization.
Rod Johnson
Creator of Spring & Best Selling Author of J2EE without EJB
Rod is one of the world's leading authorities on Java and J2EE development. He is a best-selling author, experienced consultant, and open source developer, as well as a popular conference speaker.
Rod's best-selling Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development (2002) was one of the most influential books ever published on J2EE. The sequel, J2EE without EJB (July 2004, with Juergen Hoeller), has proven almost equally significant, establishing a comprehensive vision for lightweight, post-EJB J2EE development.
Rod has extensive experience as a consultant in a wide range of industries: principally, finance, media and insurance. He has specialized in server-side Java development since 1996. Prior to that, he worked mainly in C and C++.
His experience as a consultant has led him to see problems from a client's perspective as well as a technology perspective, and has driven his influential criticism of bloated, inefficient, orthodox approaches to J2EE architecture, which have delivered very poor results for stakeholders.
Rod is the founder of the Spring Framework, which began from code published with Expert One-on-One J2EE Design and Development. Along with Juergen Hoeller, he continues to lead the development of Spring.
He regularly speaks at conferences in the US, Europe and Asia, including the ServerSide Symposium (2003, 2004 and 2005), JavaPolis (Europe's leading Java conference), and JAOO (2004). Engagements in 2005 include two presentations at JavaOne 2005 and a keynote at the JavaWorld 2005 conference (Tokyo, June).
Rod serves in the JCP on the Expert Groups defining the Servlet 2.4 and JDO 2.0 specifications.
Rod continues to be actively involved in client projects at Interface21, as well as Spring development, writing and evangelism.
