If you're a Java web developer, you're certainly familiar with monolithic WAR
deployments and library bloat, and you've probably thought numerous times,
"There must be a better way." Well, there is! By building on the benefits of an
OSGi runtime environment and combining the Spring and Spring-DM
programming models, the SpringSource Application Platform offers enterprise web
developers exciting new opportunities. This session will focus on developing web
applications in an OSGi environment and will include a discussion of the migration
path from a standard Java EE WAR to a fully OSGi-enabled web application
packaged as a Web Module within a PAR. We will begin with an overview of
deployment and packaging options available on the Platform and then take a
closer look at each supported web deployment model from Standard WARs to
Shared Libraries WARs, Shared Services WARs, and finally Web Modules.
Attendees will walk away with a solid understanding of how to both develop and
deploy next generation web applications on the S2AP.
