Re-factoring a Spring Application for SOA using Spring technologies in 40 min
Traditional Enterprise Integration products (i.e., Enterprise Services Bus) promote a proprietary development and deployment model that requires a steep, costly organizational learning curve to successfully adopt. In addition, the more successful you are at adopting these development and deployment models - the more locked in to those proprietary products you become. What if Services Oriented Architecture could be be incrementally adopted in a lower risk, more agile way - led by your current Java developers and systems analysts? What if the end-result of this incremental adoption could simply be a re-factored version of your existing Java business application that is still fully portable across all java run-time environments?
Spring Framework, Spring Integration, and Spring Batch are lightweight, embeddable frameworks that serve to support the incremental adoption of SOA within your business applications, not complex, standalone middleware products that aim to control them (and ultimately you). This presentation will demonstrate how a legacy, vertically-integrated Java application can be re-factored toward a more flexible, modular service oriented architecture by the Spring developers you already have using the tools and platforms (tcServer, dmServer) they already know (and love).
Session Detail
Case Study: EMC Next-Generation ERP Integration Architecture
In this case study, Brian Dussault from EMC will walk through EMC's requirements and vision for the EMC Next Generation ERP solution – a Pass-by-Reference integration architecture that supports very high availability with no loss of messages across a highly distributed cloud-based deployment. Tom McCuch, a Sr. Systems Engineer with SpringSource, will demonstrate how SpringSource is meeting EMC’s requirements with a modern integration architecture optimized for the cloud that integrates Spring Integration - a highly distributed POJO-based message bus, GemFire Enterprise - a highly-distributed POJO-based data grid, and RabbitMQ – a highly distributed protocol-based messaging transport.

Messaging for Modern Applications
Many businesses are faced with some new messaging challenges for modern applications, such as horizontal scalability of the messaging tier, heterogeneous messaging systems and access methods, and extreme transaction processing. This presentation/demo will cover how businesses can overcome these messaging challenges with the use of Spring and RabbitMQ technologies. Tom will build a case for AMQP, explain how SpringSource is providing AMQP support via Spring AMQP and Spring Integration, explain how RabbitMQ is a modern messaging solution that offers a reliable, highly available, scalable and portable messaging system with predictable and consistent throughput and latency, and demonstrate how Spring Integration and RabbitMQ can be progressively introduced into a standard Spring web application deployed on Cloud Foundry.
