* Reminder * - CDI: Making Java EE gel
by Jesper Pedersen
Hi all,
Remember our "CDI: Making Java EE gel" meeting next week.
Date: March 8th, 2010 @ 6 PM
Location:
Boston University
111 Cummington St
Boston, MA 02215
MCS 135 (Math and Computer Science Building)
1st floor
Abstract:
---------
Java EE 6 offers significant and compelling improvements over previous
revisions of the platform. Java EE is now portable AND lightweight. But what
if these improvements still come up short for your needs? Will you have to
wait for Java EE 7 to get the features necessary for you to move forward?
How do third-party technologies fit into this picture?
Regardless of how sweeping the change, before long, you'll expect more out of
the platform. Java EE 6 makes room for growth.
This talk explores the new programming model that was introduced as the
foundation of Java EE 6, JSR-299: Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI). You
discover that with this programming model, it's possible to enhance, extend
and customize the platform to suit your needs. You learn how you can achieve
loose coupling without sacrificing strong typing and how to create portable
extensions that integrate natively with the container by leveraging the
extension SPI. In essence, we can backport features of Java EE 7 and beyond,
effectively making them available today.
