Extreme Web Productivity with Spring Roo

Spring Roo delivers outstanding productivity gains to any class of application, and in particular web applications built on the proven Spring web stack. In only seconds you can effortlessly add web features including RESTful backends, URI rewriting, Selenium-powered integration tests, Spring Web Flow and Spring JavaScript to your enterprise applications. Join Stefan Schmidt - the author of Roo's web add-ons - to discover more about these Web 2.0 features.

During this session Stefan will develop an enterprise application from scratch, and then progressively explore and fine-tune its web tier. We'll discover how easy it is to add custom controllers, change the look and feel, achieve web authorization and more.

Attendees will leave this session with a comprehensive understanding of the Spring Roo web capabilities, and how easily these can be applied to your own projects.

New Persistence Features in Spring Roo 1.1

Persistence is the lifeblood of enterprise applications. Spring Roo's Java Persistence API (JPA) support has been significantly expanded in Spring Roo 1.1, including upgrades to the latest JPA 2 specification and associated implementations, new support of DataNucleus for Google App Engine deployments, Apache Solr for blazing fast enterprise search and the most highly-voted community feature: database reverse engineering (DBRE). In this session we will explore how Spring Roo's new DBRE feature ventures beyond traditional approaches to reverse engineering to offer a complete, incremental, round-trip-aware capability. We'll also explore how to add Apache Solr integration to your application in just seconds, and tour many of the other new persistence technology improvements.

Next-Generation Spring MVC with Spring Roo

Spring MVC is one of the most popular web frameworks in enterprise Java, successfully being deployed in thousands of production applications and used by millions of developers. Spring Roo delivers a set of integrated, highly-productive tooling for those developers building REST-based Spring MVC applications than can serve JavaScript, Flash, and Desktop (.NET/Swing) clients. In Spring Roo 1.1 there were significant improvements made to Roo's Spring MVC support, including fine-grained, incremental round-tripping of individual JSP elements, new integration with JQuery, and better workflow features. In this presentation attendees will discover the power of using Spring Roo to build Spring MVC applications, including detailed cover of how to get started, edit pages, add controllers and other tasks typical of MVC development.

Hello, RooBot: Writing and Distributing Your Own Spring Roo Add-Ons

One of the most exciting improvements in Spring Roo 1.1 is the addition of a powerful OSGi-based add-on discovery and distribution feature. This new feature allows anyone to write Spring Roo add-ons and have them immediately and easily made available to the entire Spring Roo community. In this session we will introduce RooBot, the automatic provisioning server which underpins this new feature. We'll then write a Spring Roo add-on and make it immediately available to all the Spring Roo installations on attendee laptops. Also in this session we'll explore some of the architectural background necessary to write add-ons, plus offer practical advice and time-saving hints for those wanting to extend Spring Roo into new capability areas.
