We hope to reschedule Bruce Tate for next month's meeting.
David Geary will still present his "Ruby on Rails" talk at the 7:30pm meeting.
Not to disappoint, we've got a replacement Bruce. Bruce Snyder and Jeff Genender, practice leaders from Virtuas Solutions will be presenting the following:
Implementing an Open Source Enterprise Service Bus Solution
An introspective of how a large utility company utilized open source to solve the problem of replacing hundreds of small, one-off applications with an enterprise class, distributed J2EE architecture. The completed implementation resulted in using 100% open source software to develop an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) that saved the organization a significant amount of investment in commercial software. The solution delivered a workflow based, extensible architecture utilizing best-in-class design concepts, J2EE components and open source implementations, such as Spring, Webservices/AXIS, Hibernate, JBoss, JBPM, EJB/MDB, JMS, and JMX/MBeans.
See you tonight,
