06/09 Meeting - Stop waiting for build/deploy and enjoy coding again

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

Hello Java Group Memebers,
The June 2009 meeting will be about increasing productivity by reducing the time of your Java build/deploy cycle.  If you’ve built medium to large scale Java applications (JEE, stand alone, desktop, etc), then you are familiar with the drudgery of building and redeploying your entire code stack due to a minor change.  It’s
tedious and can consume an average of 2 to 5 minutes of your day.  In this talk, speaker Jevgeni Kabanov, of Zeroturnaround Inc, will highlight three approaches you can use to decrease your turnaround
time during the build/deploy cycles and save at least one hour daily.

“Watching the logs roll by” - AKA “How to stop waiting for build/ deploy and enjoy coding again”

25 percent of developers say that their JEE projects take over two minutes to deploy, every time they want to see their changes. Over 70 percent say it takes at least a minute.  Since on average we deploy five times an hour, we are watching the logs roll by, or switching to email and losing focus, for 10-40 minutes every day.

In this talk, Jevgeni Kabanov will highlight three key techniques that you can start using immediately to drop the time from hitting Ctrl+S to refreshing your browser — down to less than one second. We will start by discussing exploded development and some shortcuts you can take to eliminate the build scripts from your everyday life. Then we will review some ways to bypass or speed up redeployment. We will take a look at JEE redeployment, OSGi modules, special framework support that exists in Grails, Seam, Tapestry5 and RIFE, and JVM HotSwap. We will cover what you can do for free, and introduce a class reloading JVM plug-in called “JavaRebel”, that solves the problem for peanuts.

After this talk, you will leave with a clear idea of at least three ways to reduce your turnaround, and measurably save your team at least an hour per day.

Jevgeni Kabanov is the founder and lead of ZeroTurnaround (www.zeroturnaround.com), a development tools company that focuses on productivity. Before that he worked as the R&D director of Webmedia, Ltd, the largest custom software development company in the Baltics. As part of the effort to reduce development time tunraround he wrote the prototype of the ZeroTurnaround flagship product, JavaRebel, a class reloading JVM plug-in.

Jevgeni has been speaking on international conferences for several years, including JavaPolis/Devoxx, JavaZone, JAOO and so on. He also has an active research interest, publishing several papers on topics
ranging from category theoretical notions to typesafe Java DSLs. Besides the commercial products made for ZeroTurnaround, Jevgeni is a co-founder of two open-source projects — Aranea and Squill. Aranea
(www.araneaframework.org) is a web development and integration platform based on strong object-oriented principles. Squill (squill.dev.java.net) is a typesafe internal DSL for constructing and executing SQL queries. Jevgeni’s personal blog can be found at dow.ngra.de.

August 2008 Meeting - Examining a Sample Application Built in Three Ways: Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE Platform), Spring 2.5, and Seam 2.0 Deployed on the GlassFish™ Project

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

For the month of August, the Tampa Java User Group will host another exciting presentation.  At our next meeting, speaker Carol McDonald, from Sun Microsystems, Inc, will present an analysis comparing an JSF-based application built using Java EE, Spring 2.5, and Seam with deployment on the Glassfish server.  Carol presented this material earlier this year during CommunityOne at JavaOne in May 2008 and she will be here in Tampa on Monday, August 11 to present this material to the Tampa JUG.

As always, come show our speaker and Sun Microsystems that the Tampa Bay area has a vibrant Java community interested in popular technologies.  If you plan to attend the meeting, bring a colleague. There will be giveaways, food, and opportunities to network with other Bay area technologists. There will be an RSVP email to follow later.

** NOTE ** The meting will be held on Monday, August 11th (not the usual last Tuesday).

-= Meeting Detail =-
Examining a Sample Application Built in Three Ways: Java™ Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE Platform), Spring 2.5, and Seam 2.0 Deployed on the GlassFish™ Project

Abstract:
This session looks at the implementation of the same web application developed with three open source frameworks and highlights what was done differently with each one. First it explains the implementation of the sample application with JavaServer™ Faces and Enterprise JavaBeans™ 3.0 (EJB™ 3.0) technology and the Java™ Persistence API (JPA). Next it looks at how this application was developed with JavaServer Faces technology, the JPA, and Spring 2.5. Finally, it looks at this application developed with JavaServer Faces and EJB 3.0 technology, the JPA, and Seam 2.0. The presentation highlights differences in the frameworks, such as the Seam context model for stateful components.

All three versions were deployed on GlassFish™ project V2, and the source code is made available in the session.
