Meeting....: Silicon Valley Java Users Group (SVJUG)
Time.......: May 20th,2008 (THIRD TUESDAY of each month)
Cost.......: Always FREE to all!
Topic......: Writing JPA Applications
Speaker....: Patrick Linskey

Description:
In this talk, Patrick explores the Java Persistence API, and examines some
common practices for how to write applications that use JPA. Patrick will
focus more on API usage than on mapping configuration, and will look at the
bootstrapping and runtime behavior of JPA applications. You will learn about
JPA's optimistic locking semantics, including the benefits of optimistic read
locks. Patrick looks at when it's appropriate to use the different facilities
of the Java Persistence Query Language (JPQL), and also discusses common
extensions to the spec, including performance caching, pessimistic locking,
and fetch strategies.

Speaker Bio:
Patrick Linskey has been involved in object/relational mapping for 6+ years.
As the founder and CTO of SolarMetric, Patrick drove the technical direction

the JDO specification teams, and is BEA's representative on the EJB3 expert
