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

Time.......: October 16th,2007 (THIRD TUESDAY of each month)

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

Topic......: Seam and Web Beans

Speaker....: Gavin King, founder Hibernate Project

Description:

Gavin King will be speaking about Seam and Web Beans. Seam is an open source
"deep integration" framework that tries to have the best of both the Java
EE and Spring worlds. It is firmly rooted in Java EE standards. It started
out to address the design flaws between two key Java EE frameworks: JSF and
EJB3. Some of its core features are being adopted in future official Java EE
standards such as JSF 2.0 and WebBeans. As more and more users start to adopt
Seam, it has expanded far beyond the scope of Java EE.

The goal of JSR 299 (Web Beans) is to enable EJB 3.0 components to be used
as JSF managed beans, unifying the two component models and enabling a
considerable simplification to the programming model for web-based applications
in Java. In particular, this work will provide a programming model suitable for
rapid development of simple data-driven applications without sacrificing the
full power of the Java EE 5 platform. This is a domain where Java EE has been
perceived as overly complex..

Speaker Bio:

solution for Java. He is an active member of the JSR-220 expert group, and
