The Art of Metaprogramming

Metaprogramming is the dirty little secret behind the success of many Java frameworks such as Spring and Struts2, and forms the backbone of many of the most fundamental APIs across the JEE technology stack. This session aims to introduce the topic and highlight, with code examples, the different mechanisms and techniques to take advantage of this underused feature of the Java Programming Language.

This session will adopt a learn-by-example approach that combines the philosophy and theory behind metaprogramming with concrete code examples. No previous knowledge or exposure to the topic is required, but an intermediate understanding of Java SE is expected.
