Intro to Clustering with Terracotta

Terracotta is an open-source cluster framework. In this session, attendees will begin by learning about Terracotta architecture and setup. We'll then examine the Terracotta Toolkit in detail with live code examples. Attendees will learn about features in the Terracotta toolkit: barriers, locking, clustered collections, and more. We'll discuss the usage of these features and how to best utilize them across a cluster of JVM's / app servers. We'll also talk about how to setup for high-availability.

From Zero-to-Hero with EHCache

Ehcache is the most popular open source cache framework for the JVM. It is integrated into many open-source packages, such as Grails. First, we'll cover the concept of caching objects and use cases around caching. In this session, we'll get into Ehcache details about architecture, configuration, design, cache types and more. Attendees will learn how to configure Ehcache and we'll discuss the major configuration options. We'll also do some live code demos so attendees can better understand the concepts and features of caching and Ehcache. Of course, we'll also see how it plugs into ORM / JPA tools like Hibernate.

Enterprise Integration with Apache Camel and Spring Integration

Enterprise Integration used to be mundane and tedious - developers had to build all the code by hand and testing was difficult. With the rise of popular Enterprise Integration toolkits such as Apache Camel, this is no longer the case. Apache Camel makes it a breeze to do enterprise integration, and in this session, you'll be introduced to both Enterprise Integration basics as well as implementing them with Apache Camel.
