Presentations

Building a Service Oriented Architecture with ServiceMix

There is a big buzz and a lot of hype about Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). A solid SOA architecture allows you to use standards-based, pluggable, and loosely coupled services to integrate and communicate the critical business logic from disparate systems. This essentially allows a common ground for different systems to interact with each other. But there is more to a good SOA implementation than simply integrating services. This is where orchestration and other key concepts become important, and an ESB helps fill in this gap.

High Availability Java

Clustering and high availability is a critical topic in Java Enterprise circles. There are many strategies to clustering but not every strategy is right for every application. Knowing which strategy for which application is critical in weighing scalability vs performance. This session discusses clustering topologies such as full replication, distributed clustering, master/slave, and other strategies.

Migrating from Tomcat To Geronimo

Have you thought about moving your web applications to an application server, but were afraid to try? Geronimo may be the application server for you! Since Geronimo allows you to take on an application server a little at a time by building the stack that is right for you, migrating your Tomcat applications to Geronimo is a great first step.
