Java EE in the cloud
by Paul Bakker
Designing a system that can evolve without creating a maintenance nightmare is far from trivial and there are no silver bullets to do this correctly. A service oriented, modular architecture will help a lot to achieve this goal. Modularity forces separation of concerns which, when combined with a service oriented architecture, enables you to replace parts of a system without breaking others. The only mature modularity approach for Java is OSGi. OSGi is a framework that enables low-level modularity and services, but it is not an application framework like Java EE, i.e. you still need APIs to create web applications, use transactions, access data sources etc. Without these APIs you will have a hard time to actually build applications. Unfortunately OSGi and Java EE did not interoperate well in the past; it was very challenging to mix both. But what if we want modularity in our architecture, but also the ease-of-use of Java EE 6?
Luckily times are changing. All major application servers are getting support for deploying mixed Java EE and OSGi applications. This makes it possible to deploy OSGi bundles that contain Java EE 6 code such as EJBs, JPA and JAX-RS resources. CDI can be used to inject OSGi services and EJBs can easily be exported as OSGi services too.
The next question is how to deploy this into the cloud. Just uploading a large WAR file to a server in the cloud doesn't fit modularity very well. How can you update just parts of a running application without breaking the rest of it? We will introduce Apache ACE, an Open Source Provisioning Platform to deploy OSGi bundles (containing Java EE code) and other artifacts to the cloud.

Optimized GlusterFS write-through caching for Infinispan
by Manik Surtani and Vijay Bellur
Infinispan can be configured with cache stores allowing it to store data in a persistent location such as a file system, JDBC etc. There are two different methods of updating the cache store - write-through/synchronous and write-behind/asynchronous. GlusterFS is a distributed, scale-out file system that can scale to petabytes of storage. This talk will explore the idea of how GlusterFS can be used as persistent write-through cache store for Infinispan. The talk will also detail optimizations that can be leveraged from both Infinispan and GlusterFS for optimal persistent caching.

"S*, F&#/, I give up" - Pages from the Bad Day at Work Diary
by Jesper Pederson
"A pile of JARs (eh, what ?) files, strange XML files, .WARs (must be a tribute to Edwin Starr), and a ton of other stuff thrown together inside a so-called EAR file. What does van Gogh have to do with pushing a button in a web ui ?
Oh, great - and it didn't even work, sigh, why is it only 9.05 am ?"
Sound familar ? Or are your co-workers unable to assemble an enterprise application in the right way or even understand the difference between API and implementation ?
Or is it that you - if you really admit it - want to become better at getting an overview of entire applications or even complex servers ?
Come and learn what Tattletale can do for you, how you quicker get your enterprise application up and running on JBoss Application Server 7, and an idea of the cool features to come.

Eventual Consistency in Infinispan
Infinispan as a data grid has primarily been focused on strong consistency, giving up partition tolerance in exchange. However, moving forward, Infinispan plans to offer an eventually consistent model too, where users could configure Infinispan to weaken consistency in exchange for greater partition tolerance. This talk discusses some of the ideas around an eventually consistent mode for Infinispan.

Building flexible transactional applications using the Narayana TXFramework
by Paul Robinson
The TXFramework supports development of portable ACID and NoACID applications; such applications are agnostic of the transaction technology used. Code transparently flows between JTA, REST and Web service transactions domains.
The TXFramework allows the developer to focus on the business logic and specify transactional requirements through annotations. JEE already has this for JTA, but this is not the case for Web services and REST transactions. The TXFramework intelligently bridges between supported transaction technologies, with minimal developer effort.
Currently the business logic for WS and REST transactions is tied tightly to the transaction technology and transport. Switching transport requires a switch in transaction technology and subsequently a significant code re-write. The TXFramework allows the developer to specify what type of transaction they require (ACID or a particular NoACID model). The actual transaction technology is enabled at run-time based on the developer's annotations.
The TXFramework removes boilerplate transaction and bridging logic from the application, by pushing it into the middleware where it belongs. It allows a developer to create code that is more readable and maintainable. It also allows a business to be more responsive in altering its deployment options for applications deployed on site and in the cloud.

Infinispan from POC to Production
by Mark Addy
If your applications caching capability is preventing you from scaling up or handling bursts in traffic then you may have considered some of the data grid technologies available. This session walks you through two real world solutions designed and implemented using open source Infinispan for a global on-line travel agency. Both outcomes resulted in reduced latency, dynamic scaling and a massively increased caching capacity.
The first part will describe an existing replicated cache running at full capacity and how this was replaced with a distributed solution that allowed the application to scale dramatically with a performance improvement to boot. Secondly we will look at proof of concept for an application with a problematic design and how another distributed caching solution incorporating grid-execution saved the day providing massive scale out and low latencies.
This talk is aimed at developers, architects and middleware specialists interested in caching solutions.

Migrating Spring to Java EE
by Paul Bakker
The Spring Framework has no doubt played a major role in evolving how we write enterprise applications on the Java platform today, but it is still a proprietary framework owned by a single company. The age of having to rely on such proprietary frameworks in order to develop decent enterprise applications is now over, and using Java EE 6 has become an even easier way to develop enterprise applications based on standards, which makes it the best choice for any enterprise application. In this session, you will experience how to migrate a typical full-stack Spring application to a standards-based, completely portable Java EE 6 application, including integration tests.
The authors of this presentation also wrote a series of articles on JBoss.org (currently being published) that also contains an example of a complete Spring application that is migrated to Java EE. After seeing this talk viewers can look at the articles and the code base to continue with the topic.

Hibernate OGM: JPA for NoSQL
NoSQL promises high potential and innovative features in new generation applications but the barrier of entry is high.
Hibernate OGM proposes to simplify the programming model by embracing JPA/Hibernate APIs and semantics to store data in NoSQL stores like JBoss Enterprise Data Grid instead of the traditional RDBMS.
Come see what this is all about, the status of the project and which type of NoSQL engines are supported.
In this presentation, we will:
- see an overview of the (No)SQL landscape and how a JPA front end can fit some interesting use cases.
- explore how to store entities and associations into a key/value store and what compromise has to be made.
- see how one can implement JP-QL queries on top of a non queryable technology (like key/value store)
- see how various NoSQL engines are supported by Hibernate OGM
We will use a live demo to discover how to convert an existing JPA application to Hibernate OGM and a NoSQL store. We will dploy it to OpenShift, Red Hat PaaS offering.

JBoss Enterprise Maven Repository - what does it mean for you?
EAP 6 comes with a Maven Repository - this means that you can now easily migrate from JBoss AS 7 to EAP 6 if your project follows good
best practices concerning use of Maven dependencies. But it is about much more than just easy migration.The best practices we applied to the use of Enterprise Maven Repository is some that many jboss.org projects could and should consider using since it allows the projects to be easily available for productization and be easy to consume by users in tools like JBoss Tools, Forge and the many Quickstarts built around the Maven best practices.
In this talk I'll present how the Maven repository came to be, what concerns we wanted to address, how you as a user utilizes this maven repository best and how jboss.org projects can benefit from its best practices too.
