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.

The State of the Art in Dependency Injection
By Rod Johnson
Spring, as the leading Java application framework, brought dependency injection and POJO programming to the mainstream. In this session Rod will look at new advances in the field of dependency injection, and explore how Spring's recent work compares to others in this field.
Today, you are most likely using Spring for Dependency Injection. In the early days, you might also have heard of Avalon, Pico, and Hivemind, three other DI containers. You may remember Type I, Type II, and Type III dependency injection. Now, several other DI containers and alternative component models are cropping up. What do these containers offer that is really useful? What's not so useful? How do they compare to Spring, and what is Spring doing in this field today? This session will explore the state of the art in dependency injection.
