The Java world is a thriving 'think tank' where the future of computing is created, a place of open-minded exploration. Nevertheless, there are taboos that the Java world seems reluctant to address. Weakly typed languages was one that has been confronted only recently, with JSR223. Object-oriented databases attract a lot of sympathy and precious little support. Everything that would stray too far away from the 'canon' of Java and JavaEE is, in reality, often considered with suspicion.

In this session, we will demonstrate how Java persistence can be made even easier and much more efficient. We will show a solution that will generate further added value thanks to weakly typed languages and a seamless blend of object-oriented and relational technologies. We will also show that it fits nicely in a Java stack. But get ready: in this session, we will be flirting with heresy. We will be talking about Caché and Jalapeño.

Olivier Caudron is a senior technical consultant and pre-sales specialist at InterSystems Benelux. As such, his main responsibility is to help InterSystems' partners and end-users find optimal solutions to their functional and technical needs, and guide them in the use of InterSystems' technologies. A graduate in Computer Science from the University of Namur (Belgium), he has always been a true believer in Java.

Olivier has a broad experience in managing projects and development teams, in particular in finance and healthcare, and with diverse technologies, especially object-oriented, relational, web and integration (EAI). He has many years of experience with Java technologies.

Before joining InterSystems, he worked for Sybase as a senior consultant specialized in JavaEE, portal and integration technologies, for a large stock exchange company as development team leader, and for Manpower as chief analyst.

[image]Where will tomorrow's enterprise innovation come from — In this keynote, Rod Johnson will consider where tomorrow's innovation will come from in enterprise Java. How will the role of the JCP change? Will other standards bodies play a role? Will end users be more empowered-and how can you help to shape the future? How will the continued rise of open source affect the platform-especially with Sun's recent embrace of open source, and the emergence of a significant and sustainable open source industry?
[image]Large scale development of enterprise java solutions — You will get some insights into the development process at the NetWeaver Product Technology Unit and SAP applications build on top of the NetWeaver platform. We will share how we build large scale enterprise java solutions at SAP.
[image]Guice — Put simply, Guice alleviates the need for factories and the use of new in your Java code. Think of Guice's @Inject as the new new. You will still need to write factories in some cases, but your code will not depend directly on them. Your code will be easier to change, unit test and reuse in other contexts.
