Presentation: "The future of Java EE"

Time: Wednesday 14:05 - 15:05

Location: Fleming Room, Third Floor

Abstract:
In this session, we will be looking at the future of the Java EE platform, called Java EE 7. Although it is not clearly defined at this point, some of the focus of that release will be virtualization and cloud-computing. The session will start with a walk though some of the iterative progress that will be made to popular specifications like the REST or JPA (persistence) but will quickly focus on what cloud computing will mean to Java EE developers. Examples and demos will help describing how the Java EE programming paradigm will evolve to support cloud computing.
