Presentations
Enterprise AOP with Spring and AspectJ
Enterprise application development is a gold mine for applications of AOP. There are many crosscutting concerns found in a typical enterprise application, ranging from well-known security and transaction management to application- and technology-specific concerns. Using AOP leads to implementations that are easy to understand and easy to change. When we combine Spring with AspectJ, we get a pragmatic AOP solution. This demo-driven session shows how to implement common functionality needed by typical enterprise applications, with a focus on web applications.
In this session, you will learn how to implement functionalities such as monitoring, exception handling, policy enforcement, transaction management, fault tolerance, and security. You should be able to take these ideas and implement them in your own projects and reap the benefits of AOP.
Application Development with VMforce.com
With the announcement of VMforce, VMware and Salesforce are building an enterprise Java Cloud that combines the Spring programming model with VMware flexibility and Force.com reliability and data integrity. This session will discuss the architecture of this new Platform-as-a-Service solution and provide a technical overview of how to run Spring applications that integrate with Force.com services. Topics will include local development, basic Force.com database support, workflow and approval, compile and debug, deployment and management, as well as service utilizations.

Cloud Foundry with Spring Part One: Applications
The session provides an overview of how to build Spring-based applications on the Cloud Foundry platform. The session will cover application configuration parameters, binding services to you application, configuration using STS and vmc commands, and deployment to both micro and public Cloud Foundry. We will also show how debugging works with Cloud Foundry. The session will also discuss application execution analysis and cover how to inspect, determine and resolve execution issues associated with running Spring applications in this cloud architecture.
Session Detail
Cloud Foundry with Spring Part Two: Services
This session covers much greater detail about how Spring operates on the Cloud Foundry platform. We will also explore various options to consume services: auto-configuration, the cloud namespace, and Spring 3.1 profiles focusing on how to utilize these mechanisms effectively in various phases of application development cycle.

Scala for Java Programmers
Scala is a language that every Java developer needs to pay attention. Its uniquely combines object orientation and static typing with functional programming, which leads to much simpler, yet efficient code. It also has enough new ideas, especially for a Java developer, to make programming fun. Scala can also leverage Java ecosystem effectively, so all the libraries and framework such as Spring that you have come to trust may be used seamlessly.
This session with take you on a tour of the Scala language exploring both object oriented and functional side. It will examine a series of examples that will convince you to go and study Scala further. You will also get a glimpse of how Scala and Spring can play together effectively.

To allow the creation of truly modular software, OOP has evolved into aspect-oriented programming. AspectJ is a mature AOP implementation for Java, now integrated with Spring.
AspectJ in Action, Second Edition is a fully updated, major revision of Ramnivas Laddad's best-selling first edition. It's a hands-on guide for Java developers. After introducing the core principles of AOP, it shows you how to create reusable solutions using AspectJ 6 and Spring 3. You'll master key features including annotation-based syntax, load-time weaver, annotation-based crosscutting, and Spring-AspectJ integration. Building on familiar technologies such as JDBC, Hibernate, JPA, Spring Security, Spring MVC, and Swing, you'll apply AOP to common problems encountered in enterprise applications.
This book requires no previous experience in AOP and AspectJ, but it assumes you're familiar with OOP, Java, and the basics of Spring.
"Clear, concisely worded, well-organized ... a pleasure to read."
-From the Foreword by Rod Johnson, Creator of the Spring Framework
"This book teaches you how to think in aspects. It is essential reading for both beginners who know nothing about AOP and experts who think they know it all."
-Andrew Eisenberg, AspectJ Development Tools Project Committer
"Ramnivas showcases how to get the best out of AspectJ and Spring."
-Andy Clement, AspectJ Project Lead
"One of the best Java books in years."
-Andrew Rhine, Software Engineer, eSecLending
"By far the best reference for Spring AOP and AspectJ."
-Paul Benedict, Software Engineer, Argus Health Systems
"Ramnivas expertly demystifies the awesome power of aspect-oriented programming."
-Craig Walls, author of Spring in Action

A guide to aspect-oriented programming and the AspectJ language, this book provides code examples that enable quick implementation of functionality in a system. Thorough introductions to AOP and AspectJ will help developers learn or advance their knowledge of AspectJ. Examples of everyday situations in which AspectJ solutions can be applied, such as logging, policy enforcement, resource pooling, business logic, thread-safety, authentication and authorization, and transaction management are provided. In addition, design patterns and idioms are covered, as is business rule implementation. The latest technologies, such as JEES, JAAS, and log4j, are explained and connected with AspectJ.

Java is a powerful and fast maturing development platform used to create client/server applications on any platform. XML is the most recent markup language, a standard format for the universal sharing of data and an intrinsic part of all major development both on the Web, and in the wider business community. Enterprise web applications are increasingly combining Java and XML technologies to provide more efficient ways to integrate Internet presence with business systems in the world of e-commerce.
This core professional compendium breaks down into three main sections. The first presents the basic XML standards, Java APIs and programming tools for handling XML. The second part presents a selection of Java techniques which make up the building blocks for XML-based applications. The section is Java-centric, and presents the common scenarios for XML data I/O, building on the basic tools presented in part one. The final and largest section of the book shows how XML applications can be built on top of the techniques shown in part two, and demonstrates how XML can be used to solve real programming problems.
If you want a hefty box of XML manipulation tools at your disposal and would like to discover how the language could be used in your Java applications, then this book is for you.
