Abstract
Web 2.0 is about fundamentally redefining how we express rich, compelling
experiences to consumers utilizing the Web as a platform. This presentation
talks on how we can leverage the Java platform as the vehicle for the delivery
of enterprise Web 2.0 applications. It is not a basic intro to technologies
presented below but in-depth technical talks combined with demos ending up with
a fully working / live enterprise Web 2.0 application!
Instead of focusing on technology features this presentation takes a different
angle. We start by defining the different types of user experiences and then
explain which technologies are available too us for solving these.
The focus of the presentation will be on the Google Web Toolkit + Google Gears
and how they fit within this world we like to call rich user experiences. Among
the many GWT features presented are some more advanced ones like JSNI, data
binding, deferred binding, modules, security, mvc... . But within a project a
technology does never exist on its own and so we'll so how it can be integrated
with other technologies like the SpringFramework, Google Gears, AtomPub, CXF,
Abdera, Spring Security (Acegi) and last but not least we'll see how easy it us
to integrate it with an OpenSocial container.
