Experiences With the Java 5.0 Language Features: Tips and TechniquesJan 24 2006
Tim Hanson is the Javelin compiler architect at BEA Systems, and Jess Garms is the Javelin team lead at BEA Systems.
As implementers of one of the first fully compliant 1.5 Java technology compilers outside of Sun Microsystems itself, the instructors leading this JavaOne 2005 session have extensive experience with the language specification, compiler implementation and use of language features. The compiler team was the first at BEA to begin aggressive adoption of 1.5 language features and tested some of the more difficult portions of the implementation by introducing examples of wildcard capture, static import of enumeration constants and other useful but tricky elements new to the 1.5 Java technology development experience.
The session covers some known shortcomings in the current specification and javac implementation that can arise in complex use cases, along with best design practices that avoid both common mistakes and areas where compilers and tools are likely to still be insufficiently compliant. Both developers who want to exploit all the power of the new language features, as well as implementers of 1.5-based tools who need to work with the deeper semantics of the language will benefit from the session.
JSR 181 encourages Web services adoption by standardizing a simplified model for Web services programming that is easy to learn and rapid to develop. Traditionally the J2EE developer has been required to master a substantial amount of information to develop and deploy a Web service. By using the new annotation facilities in J2SE 5.0, a Java software source is annotated with JSR 181 annotations to declaratively define the desired behavior of the Web service. This allows developers to concentrate on the application logic of their Web services without worrying about complicated APIs, protocols and deployment descriptors. Learn how to use the new JSR 181 Web service annotations in this JavaOne 2005 presentation.

Once upon a time the world was simple. There were tables, views, stored procedures and client/server interfaces. Data was modeled using time-honored E-R modeling techniques, mapped methodically into tables in the corporate database, and then queried using SQL. Applications were built, not bought. DBAs and application developers ruled. Life was good...Fast-forward to the present day, and the world is no longer simple. Data is strewn everywhere: It's in multiple databases of various shapes and sizes, trapped inside a variety of applications, fronted by Web services, living in files—each source having its own data representations and APIs. And unfortunately, it's all relevant, so we can't just ignore it. Core applications are more often bought than built, and new enterprise applications are built by composing and orchestrating the functions provided by these component applications. And, of course, Service-Oriented Architectures are all the rage. Now what?
This JavaOne 2005 talk discusses the role of data in the emerging SOA world and the present day technologies that are causing problems and offering solutions. In particular, the talk introduces the notion of data services and then recommends a new methodology based on XML technology standards (notably Web services, XQuery and XML Schema) to help enterprise application developers model and manage data and associated metadata in a truly integrated way in the world of SOA.
Even with security provided by firewalls, application servers, and hardware security modules, a secure Web site still requires careful design and programming. Because security is so difficult, newspapers are filled with articles about Web site break-ins. Even some of the sites most focused on security have suffered from successful attacks. This JavaOne 2005 session presents some of what you need to know to prevent the next break-in on your Web site and discusses several common programming flaws that lead Web sites to being insecure, including password, cross-site scripting, insecure storage and denial-of-service vulnerabilities. For each vulnerability discussed, a summary and typical attacks using that vulnerability are presented.

WebLogic JRockit: Speed SimplifiedMay 27 2004 eWorld 2004
Joakim Dahlstedt
The core purpose of a JVM is to execute a Java program as efficiently as possible, as transparently as possible to the user. During the early evolution of JVM's, programs were not executed efficiently nor was it simple to execute the program. Recently, execution performance has improved signficantly, but the simplicity of execution is still poor. BEA WebLogic JRockit is taking speed and simplicity to completely new levels. This presentation will hilight some of the features in BEA WebLogic JRockit in these areas (automatic heap-resizing, code-caching, etc.) as well as sketch the future direction of the product. The presentation will include real-world examples on actual performance and examples of increased simplicity (heap resizing, strind decoding optimizations etc).

BEA's Javelin technology provides a broad array of compilation services including language analysis, program information gathering for the BEA WebLogic Workshop IDE, and Java class file generation. The combination of these tools and technologies allows it to serve not only as a command line compiler and IDE engine but also as a language definition platform. New algorithms and approaches in the next Workshop release also provide major performance improvements over 8.1.
With the advent of JSR 175 (Java metadata syntax), a broad array of Java-centric languages are now being created around a shared, standards-based approach. Javelin's support for the 1.5 Java language provides architects the ability to leverage an industrial strength Java compiler and IDE analysis engine to create Java metadata solutions quickly and easily. Language definers can exploit Javelin's high performance class file generation as well, achieving incremental compilation through ant tasks and comman.
BEA's Connectivity StrategyMay 26 2004 eWorld 2004
Andrea Eubanks, Dominic Sartorio
According to recent studies, 2/3 of the cost of a typical integration deployment is due to the cost of the "last mile" of integration, including adapter license, services and support costs. Too many end systems to keep up with, immature standards, frequent need for customization, and poor quality and support are the main culprits. This is the "dirty little secret" of the EAI industry. BEA's strategy is to solve the "dirty little secret" with a consistent standards-based approach to the "last mile", driven by BEA, its partners and the J2EE community. By leveraging standards, we enable the plug-and-play of best-of-breed partner connectivity offerings to our SOA, delivering unparalleled functionality, developer productivity, performance and manageability at a fraction of the cost of competing offerings.

BEA Weblogic Clustered JMS Migration ProcessMay 26 2004 eWorld 2004
Kathiravan Sengodan
In an enterprise level messaging applications, one of the important aspects is the "High Availability". The "Clustering" technology helps us achieve this quality of service, by having the redundant services available in a cluster of servers. But, there are some services that have to be singleton in a cluster which needs to be migrated from one server to another from time to time. In this presentation, the author discusses the migration process in detail and presents a new programmatic approach to perform the migration process in BEA WebLogic Server, such that the entire migration process can be automated to reduce the server downtime and hence achieve the high availability of the JMS & JTA services.
