******* Begin SVJUG Annoucement **********

Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)

Time.......: February 09,2004 (second Wednesday of each month)

Cost.......: Always FREE to all!

Topic......: Visual Modeling of Java using UML

Speaker....: Eric Aker, IBM Corporation
(http://www.ibm.com)

Description:

The session will cover what is in a visual model
and how to structure a project from a simple
Hello World application to a complex N-tier web
application. Rational Software Architect (RSA),
running on Eclipse 3.0, will be demonstrated.
RSA is the 3rd full redesign of the Rational
Visual modeling tools. RSA implements UML 2.0
Software modeling used to be stand alone applications,
but now the model is an integrated part of
the software development suite of tools. RUP
(Rational Unified Process) gives guidance on how
to create models and how to make all of the
tools work together. This session will also discuss
the process of developing a project.
This session will cover the Oracle Application
Development Framework (ADF) and what impact it
will have on building applications with JavaServer
Faces (JSF) and Oracle's ADF Faces components.
This session also details the features ADF Faces
brings to JSF developers such as a mature,
professional-quality component set as well as a
set of framework features including client-side
validation, page-flow scope, PPR, dialog
framework, etc...

At the end of the session there
will be sneak preview of the current rich
web client work in progress at Oracle.

Speaker Bio:
Eric Aker has been working with Visual Modeling
since 1993 when he joined Rational Software for
