On September 8, I gave my Java EE 6 preview presentation at the nearby Princeton JUG. The attendance was great and so was the participation levels. Folks were very excited about all the APIs in Java EE 6 and provided a lot of positive feedback. Java champion, JDJ editor and JUG leader Yakov Fain bloggedContinue reading “Java EE 6 Preview at the Princeton JUG”

On July 25-26, I spoke at The Developer Conference in Sao Paulo, Brazil. I presented on both Java EE 6 and EJB 3.1. Both talks were very well received and there was a very good level of participation. Burr Sutter from JBoss and Ed Burns from Sun also spoke at the conference. It is oneContinue reading “The Developer Conference, Sao Paulo Brazil”

I just finished porting the example code of EJB 3 in Action to JBoss 4.2. The code is posted on the Manning site for EJB 3 in Action. Here is a link to the code. This means that readers can now get up and running with either GlassFish, Oracle AS or JBoss. In addition, DebuContinue reading “EJB 3 in Action JBoss 4.2 Example Code Posted”

On September 18th, I conducted a JPA/Hibernate 3 lab at the Connecticut JUG. I allowed people to use either NetBeans 5.5 or Eclipse Dali. This was the first ever lab they had ever done at the JUG and everything worked out quite nicely for a hands-on lab. Personally, I would do a few things differentlyContinue reading “JPA/Hibernate 3 Lab at the Connecticut JUG”

On September 18, Rob Di Marco spoke on the JBoss Embedded Container at the Philadelphia JBoss User Group. The Embeddable container allows you to use the full power of EJB 3 and JPA outside a container. Rob walked through examples of using EJB 3 in a standalone application, in a unit test as well asContinue reading “Embedded JBoss Container Talk at Philly JBUG”

On September 26 I presented my EJB 3, Spring, Hibernate comparison talk at the Philly JUG. The Philly JUG is among the most successful JUGs in the world. It is consistently ranked in the top 25 in the U.S. and the top 50 in the world. I received great feedback on the talk and aContinue reading “EJB 3/Spring/Hibernate Comparison at Philly JUG”

On the 15th of this month, I presented my popular EJB 3/Spring/Hibernate comparison talk at the Northern Virginia Java User Group (NoVAJUG). This bunch was by far the most lively I have ever seen. I always thought of the DC area to be filled with sedate government employee types. Nothing could be farther from theContinue reading “EJB 3/Spring/Hibernate Comparison at NoVAJUG”

I spoke at the Real World Java Seminar at the Roosevelt Hotel in NYC on the 13th of this month. I gave my popular EJB 3/Spring/Hibernate comparison talk to a full-house audience. I think SYS-CON (the publishers of the widely read Java Developers Journal) had the right idea hosting this seminar. The one-day seminar wasContinue reading “Real World Java Seminar at NYC Roosevelt Hotel”

On the 2nd of this month I gave a very hands on tutorial to JPA using Hibernate 3 at the NYC JUG. It went surprisingly smooth and actually turned out to be very interactive for a lab format talk. I can’t wait to see how things turn out when I repeat the talk in ConnecticutContinue reading “JPA+Hibernate 3 Tutorial at NYC JUG”

I am very excited to hear that the JCP process for Java EE 6 is starting! Here is a link to the JSR! It is slated as JSR 316. Instead of being on the side-lines, I joined the JSR committee this time on. I joined as an “independent expert” and will contribute my views onContinue reading “Java EE 6 Coming Soon!”
