WE6: JSR 277, 291 and OSGi, Oh My! - OSGi and Java Modularity
- Richard Hall (LSR - Grenoble University)
OSGi technology for Java was originally envisioned as a dynamic service platform for home gateways, but has spread to all forms of Java development, as witnessed by Eclipse adoption and the Apache Felix incubator project. OSGi technology fills a void in the Java platform as a dynamic modularity and component layer. Recently, the JCP has introduced two different JSRs (277 and 291) that are intimately related to OSGi. This presentation will provide an overview of OSGi, introduce the Apache Felix incubator project, and discuss the relationship and issues surrounding JSRs 277 and 291.

WE7: Apache Synapse - A Web Services ESB
- Paul Fremantle
- Asankha Perera
The Enterprise Service Bus - or ESB - is an approach for integrating
different systems across a network. This session will cover the Apache
Synapse project, which is building a pure open source ESB based on Web
Services, XML and SOAP. It will deal with how to achieve the three major aspects
of an ESB: connectivity, mediation, and management making use of Apache Synapse. The session will explore how Synapse uses Apache projects such as Axis2, AXIOM,
Sandesha and WSS4J as the core of a high-performance, lightweight integration
framework. The session will cover how to integrate disparate systems; how
to mediate messages, including the use of XSLT, XPath, scripting, and Java; how
to manage and monitor ESBs; how to support security, reliability, and
transactions; and how to create an ESB using the Synapse codebase.

WE12: REST in peace with WebServices
- Eran Chinthaka (WSO2)
- Samisa Abeysinghe (WSO2 Inc.)
REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is becoming an alternative for Web Services in accessing remote services. There is an ongoing battle on deciding which one to use.
But recent efforts, including WSDL 2.0, have tried to put REST and WebServices together with special bindings enabled in the WSDL itself.
This talk will first concentrate on how REST is married to WebService in WSDL 2.0 and how that is being implemented in the Apache WebServices project.

WE15: Subversion Best Practices
- Brian W. Fitzpatrick (Google, Inc.)
You've been to the Subversion tutorial session, or maybe you're already using Subversion. Enough of the basics. Instead of learning the mechanics of usage, come and learn about best practices for deploying Subversion as a central tool in your open source project. Should you have one big repository or many small ones? How should you lay out your repository? What should your branching and release policies be?
Who should be able to commit where? What should log messages look like? How should your team configure commit emails? How should you deal with file-locking and backups? These questions and others will be discussed in detail.

WE17: Integrating database legacy and JMS transactions with XMLBeans
- Pedro Nevado (Free lance J2EE architect)
Recently I was working in a mission critical platform for one of the most important Spanish logistic operators.
The architecture problem was to integrate legacy data base transactions with new JMS transactions into a XA setting. The preexisting architecture was based on Java2EE 1.3 (Struts actions, SessionEJB, service managers, dao's and vo's). Two requirements of the client were to avoid reflection and to guarantee that all the application outbound messages should be in XML format.
The session is dedicated to show how we used XMLBeans in the development of the final solution.

WE18: The Future of OSGi and Felix at Apache
- Richard Hall (LSR - Grenoble University)
Apache Felix has focused more attention on OSGi technology within Apache. Interest started in projects that needed the dynamic modularity and component mechanisms which OSGi provides, for example, Apache Directory. The use of OSGi/Felix has been discussed in other Apache projects like Harmony and Cocoon. This raises interesting questions: Where in Apache can OSGi technology be useful? How should it be used? What are the limitations for Apache? This session is a panel discussion composed of several key individuals from the OSGi Alliance and Apache community to debate these and related issues.

WE21: Slicing and dicing REST with Apache Cocoon
- Gianugo Rabellino (Sourcesense)
REST is becoming more and more important as the down-to-earth web services alternative that "just works". The REST world is generally built upon web based infrastructures that produce and consume XML, and Cocoon is a top notch web application leveraging all the latest and greatest in XML technologies. As a result, REST and Cocoon fit like hand in glove. This talk will guide the audience through theory and practice in using REST technology, including a number of real life examples showing how powerful the Cocoon/REST combination can be.
