Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3: Paving the path for future
Abstract:
The Java EE 6 platform is an extreme makeover from the previous versions. It is developed as JSR 316 under the Java Community Process.
The Java EE 6 platform adds more power to the platform and yet make it more flexible so that it can be adopted to different flavors of an application. It breaks the one size fits all approach with Profiles and improves on the Java EE 5 developer productivity features. It enables extensibility by embracing open source libraries and frameworks such that they are treated as first class citizens of the platform.
Several new specifications such as Java Server Faces 2.0, Servlet 3.0, Java Persistence API 2.0, and Context and Dependency Injection 1.0 are included in the platform. All these specifications are implemented in
GlassFish v3 that provides a light-weight, modular, and extensible platform for your Web applications.
This session provides an overview of Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3. Using multiple simple-to-understand samples it explains the value proposition provided by Java EE 6.

Unfortunately, due to budget cuts in these tough economic times, there will be no food/pizza provided. However, please feel free to bring something with you as we know you have a busy schedule! I am sure there are many fast food restaurants in the Bay Area that are crying for your business...or just pack a sack lunch from home. We'll get thru this...but we are all going to have to make some sacrifices in the short term. Thanks to Marina Fisher and Sun Startup Essentials for their continuing support of this group!
