La prochaine conférence organisée par le YaJUG (JUG de Luxembourg) se tiendra le mardi 19 octobre, au CRP Henri Tudor (29, avenue John F. Kennedy L-1855 Luxembourg – Kirchberg). Attention, la présentation de Spring 3 initialement prévue est annulée et est remplaçée par une présentation de Glassfish. Agenda:

• 17h30 – Welcome & registration
• 18h00 – Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine, Glassfish & Java EE Evangelist, Oracle

  Part1 – Java EE 6 – Why and how J2EE became popular again :
  Every new Java EE version is important but this one different. It is probably the first one that is powerful enough to stand on its own and not require any third party framework. Its web profile, standardized dependency injection, restful web services and much much improved EJB, JSF, servlet and JPA all make for a great standard basis for enterprise applications.

  Proposal : Java EE 6 was released at the end of 2009 in its final form with GlassFish v3, the open source application server, implementing the entire specification in a modular and developer-friendly environment. Now is a great time for understanding what’s new in this specification and how it can and will make a difference in your enterprise developments.

  This session will introduce Java EE 6, its new concepts such as the web profile, managed beans, CDI 1.0 (context and dependency injection), JAX-RS 1.1 (restful web services), and BeanValidation 1.0 but also cover what’s new in EJB 3.1 (singleton, simplified packaging and a lot more), JSF 2.0 (facelets, ajax, composite components), servlet 3.0 (optional web.xml, fragments, async, …).

  Time permitting, this session will insist on illustrating new concepts and features with demos using GlassFish, the Java EE reference implementation and a number of different IDEs.

  Part 2 – Familiarization with Glassfish:
  GlassFish is way more than a reference implementation. It’s fully buzzword-compliant (JavaEE, Modular, OSGi, WebSockets, embeddable, … ) but more importantly it strikes a balance between cool stuff and management-compatible (in fact it is both). See how GlassFish can work for you, with or without Java EE 6.

Après plusieurs années de repos, j’assisterai cette année au Devoxx’09 qui se tiendra à Anvers (Belgique). Cette chance m’est donnée par le Virtual JUG de Developpez.com, et par mon employeur Ausy Luxembourg PSF.

Enregistrement déjà effectué. Reste l’hôtel et l’agenda des 3 jours de conférences à dresser. Comme lors des autres événements, je tenterai de suivre des conférences au contenu différent. Beaucoup de choses intéressantes cette année: Cloud computing, RIA (JavaFX), SDK 7 et JEE 6, SOA/ESB, Scala, Wicket, Spring 3, Google Android. Et comme les autres années, j’animerai mon blog personnel, mon blog developpez.com, et twitter (@pierrechauvin, @developpez), et certainement un article plus dense par la suite.

Merci donc à mes camarades de la rubrique Java, et à mon employeur.

Cinquième meeting 2009 pour le YaJUG (JUG de Luxembourg) associé cette fois à son voisin Lorraine JUG, le 6 Juillet prochain sur un bateau à Metz !. Agenda:

• 18h15 – Welcome & registration
• 18h30 – JavaFX Discovery Tour, Simon Ritter, JavaFX Evangelist at Sun Microsystems – English.
  The demand continues to grow for rich interactive content, applications, and services that run on a variety of clients. Rich Applications have achieved a new degree of sophistication with requirements to add multimedia and animation. With the JavaFX SDK and the latest updates of Java SE 6 it is possible to incorporate innovative elements of rich client applications into existing Java software with minimum effort, enabling consistent user experiences on the desktop, mobile devices, TV, and other consumer platforms.

  This talk provides a glimpse into cross-screen applications development using JavaFX libraries such as vector graphics and animation and media applications with native audio and video. Additionally, this session will illuminate the JavaFX SDK delivering support for simplified application development. We’ll also cover the latest announcements about support for JavaFX Mobile from the likes of LG and Sony-Ericsson.

  The session will also include some demonstrations that show that JavaFX truly is for « all the screens of your life ».

• 19h45 – How to build a client server application with JavaFX, RESTful web services and JSON par Sébastien Stormacq, Sun Microsystems
  Rich Internet Applications – RIA – do require a strong service access and data access layer located on the back-end, just as traditional or web based applications. It is therefore essential to combine desktop technologies and server technologies in order to provide fast, efficient and secure access to your data.
  This talk will show how to combine desktop technologies, such as JavaFX™ technologies, and back-end technologies, like web services and REST based services to build state of the art desktop applications.
  
  We will go through a very simple example of REST data retrieval and a Java FX graphical representation of these data.

  We will use the following technologies :

  – RESTful web service and JSR 310 (Jersey) API on the server side
  – JavaFX on the client side

  The JavaFX application will asynchronously poll RESTful web services to collect data that will be used to dynamicaly update the client rich UI.

Quatrième meeting 2009 pour le YaJUG et le CRP Henri Tudor à Luxembourg, le 27 Mai prochain. Agenda:

• 17h45 – Welcome & registration
• 18h00 – Introduction to Cryptography with JCA and JCE, Sébastien Stormacq, Sun Microsystems – French.
  This talk will introduce basic cryptography mechanisms such as one-way hash functions, encryption, signature, public key cryptography, certificate etc … in order to let everyone catch up with these very often used but rarely understood technologies.
  After having described the theoritical and the mathematical concepts used by modern cryptography, this talk will demonstrate how to apply these in your Java applications. We will show how to use the Java Cryptography Architecture framework and Sun’s Java Cryptography Extension providers to actually write your own data encryption or data signature code.
• 19h15 – OWASP Top 10 Security Breaches for Java Web Applications par Jocelyn Aubert, OWASP
  The OWASP Top Ten provides a powerful awareness document for web application security. It lists the top ten most critical web application security vulnerabilities, and for each provides explanation, examples, means of verification and recommendations to avoid it.
  « Adopting the OWASP Top Ten is perhaps the most effective first step towards changing the software development culture within your organization into one that produce secure code. »

Troisième meeting 2009 pour le YaJUG et le CRP Henri Tudor à Luxembourg, le 23 Avril prochain. Agenda:

• 18h00 – Welcome & registration
• 18h15 – Java Monitoring Tools – Xavier Roy – French.
  Avec Java SE 5, le JDK s’est enrichi avec un ensemble d’outils permettant d’inspecter l’activité des JVM en terme de configuration, de mémoire et de threads parmi lesquels la célèbre JConsole.
  Avec Java SE 6u7, c’est encore un pas en avant qui est fait pour le rapprochement entre les équipes de développement et d’exploitation : L’intégration de VisualVM annonce une nouvelle génération d’outil de diagnostic des JVM…
• 19h00 – Java Puzzlers – Arnaud Cormier et Anthoni Schiochet
• 19h15 – Clustering your application with Hazelcast : Talip Ozturk.
  Today’s applications are getting more and more distributed everyday
  and it is well-known that distributed programming is hard. With
  Hazelcast though, distributed programming is easy and lots of fun.
  Common reaction of Hazelcast users is ‘Ooh my God, this cannot be that
  easy’. Hazelcast is an open source, highly scalable, transactional,
  distributed/partitioned implementation of queue, map, set, list, lock
  and executor service for Java.
