Discussion on
J2EE
�. Topics included definitions, goals, intent & zen of Java 2
Enterprise Edition. The debate for the success of the
J2EE
� framework work was in high order. JMS application servers were
analyzed according to each vendor's compliance to Sun's current JMS specifications. Ted Neward,

Java versus .NET Java� 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (
J2EE
�) and the Microsoft .NET architecture both hold promise of being
the predominant enterprise application framework for the next several years. This session ignores all the hype and
hoopla associated with marketing campaigns, and compares and contrasts the
J2EE
� and .NET development frameworks in multiple, detailed ways.

How
ebXML
is used with Java for handling electronic collaboration and
commerce. The discussion included comparisons with Web Services, their standards, approaches, pros and cons.
Keith Babo is a Sun Microsystems
iPlanet�
developer and works with the
iPlanet�
Integration Server product suite, including
iPlanet�
ECXpert and TradingXpert. The presentation dealt strictly with the
technical details of the Java and ebXML evolution.

J2EE
Frameworks - The Future of Java Development A discussion on the current state of Java development tools and what's in
store for the future of Java and
J2EE
� development. The talk was highlight the current-day advancements
in Java IDEs and then go on to talk about
J2EE
� Frameworks and how they will be the means in which applications
are built in years to come.
Oracle9i &
JDeveloper
trial CD's were available from Oracle.
September 10, 2002 - Iain Armstrong
Novell
's Technical Account Manager, Lain Armstrong presented "A Technical Overview
of Web Services and Related Technologies".
This presentation covered the core technologies in detail, including
SOAP
, WSDL, and UDDI - and how to leverage industry standards such as
J2EE
� and XML. In addition you will learn the fundamental skills
needed to produce, deploy, and consume a web service. Topics include how to build a web service, expose it via
SOAP
, describe it via WSDL, register it via UDDI and finally discover a
web service and invoke it using a
SOAP
client. Deploy all of your web services into a standard
J2EE
� application server such as SilverStream Application Server,
WebSphere, or WebLogic.

SOAP Messaging in Java - A Primer
A developer-oriented walk through of the
SOAP
messaging APIs in Java, including:
SAAJ
,
JAXM
, and
JAX-RPC
. The talk included a description of the APIs, when/why they are used, and a good
bit of code to demonstrate what they offer. Keith also touched upon the practical aspects of using the APIs in
commercial applications and how they can be extended to accommodate application-specific semantics and derivative
SOAP
protocols (e.g.
ebXML
).

J2EE
Dynamics & Kinematics
Cheap computing power and hike in network bandwidth are the vital
stimulants for increase seen in the development of distributed component-based computing applications. The
distributed component-based application can broadly be seen as a configuration of services provided by different
application components running on physically same and/or independent computers that appear to the users of the
system as a single application running on a single physical machine.
J2EE
puts at enterprise developers� disposal an excellent tool kit of
component technologies that hide the complexities of multi-threaded, distributed, server-side applications.
J2EE
allows the flexibility for a wide range of design and
implementation variations. But sometimes these variations may introduce limited extensibility, inadequate
salability, or simply unneeded complexity. Thus the task of developing high-quality
J2EE
applications requires a deep understanding of proven enterprise
frameworks which provide structure and reduce the above mentioned risks. What is a
J2EE
framework? It is a set of reusable services and components coupled
with an associated set of design guidelines which together simplify development.The varied frameworks designed and
available, solves common developer headaches - such as managing connections to databases, maintaining security,
handling exceptions, and application logging - and frees the developer from implementing a solution for the above
mentioned problems with every application. In this presentation we looked at the dynamics and kinematics of some popular frameworks and how we can
use them in our projects.
