OR453: Bill and Larry: Both are right, and both are wrong

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Theatre
Duration: minutes
Speaker: Jon "maddog" Hall

Abstract:

A large company in the Pacific north-west says that people wish to keep on using PCs. A large company in Redwood Shores, California says that people wish to store all of their data in large server machines, then use "thin clients". While an argument can be made for either, a stronger argument can be made for both.

OR817: Watching the Alpha Geeks

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Parthenon 3+4
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Tim O'Reilly

Abstract:

So often, signs of the future are all around us, but it isn't till much later that most of the world realizes their significance. Meanwhile, the innovators who are busy inventing that future live in a world of their own. They see and act on premises that are not yet apparent to others. In the computer industry, these are the folks I affectionately call "the alpha geeks", the hackers who have such mastery of their tools that they "roll their own" when existing products don't give them what they need. Watching the alpha geeks -- people whom more traditional marketing analysts might call "lead users" -- can give insights into the future directions of technology, gaps in existing products, and new market opportunities.

OR972: Looking Ahead: Challenges for Open Software

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: John Fowler

Abstract:

<p> As the r&ocirc;le of the network grows larger and larger in the lives of individuals and businesses, it doesn't come without cost. Costs associated with the growth include the scaling of the infrastructure -- the hardware and software that actually make up the network -- and intangibles like privacy and assurance (and security) of one's identity, among others. What impact will these costs have on how we do business, or even live our lives? </p> <p> Similar growth challenges face the field of open software development. As open software comes more and more into the mainstream of business consciousness, hard looks are being taken at the costs and risks of using and supporting it. Nothing is entirely free, so if the software itself can be obtained without payment, where are the costs of use now located -- and what are they? </p>

OR1145: Opening Keynote: The Re-Enfranchisement of the Masses

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Parthenon 1/2
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: wil wheaton

Abstract:

<p> The Internet continues to provide new -- and often unexpected -- types of empowerment to its users. No longer the mystical domain solely of the propeller-heads, nor even yet the computer geeks, tools are becoming available that are returning the 'Net to its original goals: the free and easy sharing of information. </p> <p> Considered disdainfully by some to be a fad, the phenomenon known as Web logging, or 'blogging,' quietly demonstrates this premise by breaking open the logjams of filtered information flow imposed by The Media. </p>

OR1603: Keynote by Cory Doctorow

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Cory Doctorow

Abstract:

The entertainment industry has conceived of a plan: it will protect its business model by making devices and code that obey music and film companies, instead of their owners. Naturally, all of these tools need to be designed to be "tamper resistant" and backed up with laws that prohibit lifting the hood and tinkering with what's on the inside. Between Trusted Computing, the Broadcast Flag, the Broadcast Treaty and global initiatives like DVB CPCM, we're steaming towards a world where writing code that's intended to be modified by its users will turn into a felony. Get mad, get active and get results: we can kill this now, if we wake up and take action.

OR464: Open Source and the Corporation

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Theatre
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Lee Nackman

Abstract:

Open source continues to change the software industry. Corporations like IBM are participating in the open source movement in ways that would have been unimaginable only five years ago. This talk discusses IBM's participation in open source and its impact on the industry, IBM, and our customers.

OR820: Sun and Apache: A Bright Future

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Parthenon 3+4
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: John Fowler

Abstract:

Sun and Apache have been close partners for years and the list of achievements is impressive: from the 1999 launch of Jakarta through to Apache's heavy participation in the evolution of JCP 2.5. Through thick and thin Sun and Apache have cooperated to resolve issues and today we're still looking forward to new leading edge cooperations. Open standards like Java(tm) Technology and XML have flourished at Apache and so has Sun's understanding of the dynamics of open source development. This keynote will answer some long-standing questions commonly asked by the Apache community, and will address Sun's commitment to open source development of <i>de facto</i> standards through JCP and Apache, as well as Sun's participation in key standards organizations that also have an affect on Apache projects.

OR895: The Death of Email Marketing

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Chris Pirillo

Abstract:

I sit here, in my comfy chair, surfing on a wireless Internet connection, grooming my inbox and deleting 90% of what's sitting in there. Why? It's junk. It's useless. This used to be my playground, and it was once the avenue through which I could deliver my thoughts to hundreds of thousands of people from all over the world. I'm not the only one who has to put up with unsolicited advertisements for sending money to a country that doesn't exist on any world map. Worse yet, my wife is getting e-mails that promise to increase the size of a part of her body that she doesn't have. We've been looking for a solution that will enable us to get back on track with our audience. Well, it's already out there - and it's free for anybody to use. The key? The bridge? The solution? The Rosetta Stone of online data. RSS. Really Simple Syndication.

OR1146: Miguel Predicts

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Miguel de Icaza

Abstract:

OR1375: Strategic Commons: Open Source in the Developing World

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Koenig Karl Halle
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Danese Cooper

Abstract:

We know that Open Source is making big news throughout the developing world, but what's the truth behind the hype? Who is really using Open Source outside of Europe and the US and why? What role can the Apache Software Foundation play in encouraging participation across the world? Danese Cooper will comment on these and other mysteries of the Open Source trend and its spread around the world, from insights gained during more than six years of global travel around teaching and advocating for Open Source.

OR1604: Keynote by Tim Bray

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Tim Bray

Abstract:

Apache sits at the center of the Web ecosystem, and the Web increasingly occupies a central position in society's technology and communication repertoire. So, the world affects Apache, and Apache affects the world, in a large number of ways. This year, on the technology side we're seeing action around new kinds of hardware and software, and on society's side, the hot action is around the explosion of the blogosphere and its long tail. This talk will pick out a few of these strands and identify some key things in the world that Apache should focus on, and some things around the Web that society should focus on.

OR271: IBM and Open Source - A software agenda

Day: Tue
Time: 11:15am
Room: Auditorium
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Kristof Kloeckner

Abstract:

Abstract not yet available.

OR261: Living In a Virtual World

Day: Tue
Time: 0:00am
Room: Auditorium
Duration: minutes
Speaker: Douglas Adams

Abstract:

Adams' personal view of the enormous promise and achievements of information and digital technology (and some of the absurdities as well.) He looks at how the Internet and other breakthroughs are transforming the ways in which we work, live, think and order pizza, and speculates rashly about what it may all actually mean.

OR818: New Ways of Thinking About Security: Open Source Thinking in a Bunged-up World

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Parthenon 3+4
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Richard Thieme

Abstract:

Security often seems to focus on protecting secrets that are available in other contexts. Taxonomies of secrets - the matrices of the intelligence community - are grounded in a culture that is out of date in a world in which identities and loyalties are modular and fluid. Secrecy, like identity, is a function of boundaries, and boundaries are morphing constantly. How do we play chess in a ten-dimensional world that is constantly changing shape? How do we play when at least one of those dimensions is consciousness itself? How do we play when the board keeps disappearing? This keynote explores how open-source thinking got it right ... but might get it wrong if it does not keep evolving.

OR958: Apache and Do-It-Yourself IT (DIY-IT)

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Doc Searls

Abstract:

The standard vendor story is about how they develop "solutions" that can be solved in no other way than with the vendor's products. But what is the customer story? What about the solutions customers create and improve for themselves? Apache, for example. That's a story that's not being told very much, and Linux Journal Senior Editor (and Cluetrain Manifesto co-author) Doc Searls will describe what he's found out about the underside of this iceberg. He'll present his own findings about the "great disconnect" between vendor and customer stories, and will be listening eagerly around the conference to tales of customer stories that are not yet being told, but should be.

OR1144: The Modularity Movement: Open Source in a Maturing Market

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Doc Searls

Abstract:

<p> Uptake of open source software has been accelerating, yet the core open source community hasn't grown nearly as fast. What are the differences between the value systems of core open source communities -- such as Apache's -- and the growing population of practitioners who mostly see open source products as cheap and handy building material? What are the similarities? How can we make sense of both in a larger context that is only beginning to emerge? </p> <p> Doc Searls, senior editor of <cite>Linux Journal</cite>, co-author of <cite>The Cluetrain Manifesto</cite>, and proprietor of IT Garage, compares the adoption of open source today with the adoption of modular construction techniques 150 years ago &mdash; and arrives at both surprising and helpful conclusions along the way. </p>

OR1374: Software Patents in Europe - Where we are, where we are heading

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Koenig Karl Halle
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Jan Wildeboer

Abstract:

After a short overview of what Software Patents are, what happened in the last few weeks/months in Europe - mounting in the rejection of the proposed directive by the European Parliament - Jan Wildeboer will give detailed explanations and an outlook to what will happen next in the subject matter. Software patents are (in the US) and can become (in Europe) a major threat to not only the Open-Source community but also the vibrant world of small to medium sized businesses in the IT market. But we can safely assume that things are about to change. And it is still up to all of us to make sure the changes go in the right direction.

OR423: Probing For Quicksand: How We Peer a Bit Ahead, Into Tomorrow's World.

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Theatre
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: David Brin

Abstract:

<p> The new millennium has people pondering the future as never before. We already devote much of our economy to all kinds of forecasting, from weather reports and stock analyses to financial and strategic planning, from sports handicapping to urban design, from political prophets to those charlatans on psychic hotlines. Which variety of seer you listen to can often be a matter of style. Some prefer horoscopes, while others like to hear consultants in Armani suits present a convincing "business case." </p> <p> There are good reasons for concern, ranging all the way from terrorism to economic uncertainty in a technology-driven world. For example, what if tomorrow's chemists shrink their labs the same way cyberneticists transformed computers? Will teenagers with a desktop MolecuMac be able to synthesize any substance, at will? </p> <p> What products and services will consumers need in the decade or two just ahead? What threats and opportunities should companies, institutions and private individuals prepare for? </p> <p> Does the Open Source Movement represent one of the most hopeful signs that a complex civilization may be able to adapt to changing times? </p> <p> Together, let's explore a range of possible changes and challenges that we may face in the near future... and some plausible visions of the territory just beyond. </p>

OR241: Perspectives on the Jakarta Project

Day: Wed
Time: 3:00pm
Room: Auditorium
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: James Duncan Davidson

Abstract:

What happens when a commercial vendor (Sun, in this case) does exactly what the Open Source community asks them to do, and open sources a significant piece of software? This session will describe the experience of working on the Jakarta project from inception to the present day, in a unique partnership between an existing open source project (Apache JServ) and commercial vendors that have paid developers participating in the development. Can the two environments combine to create something special, or are they doomed to disagree and fight? This issue will be examined from both perspectives: that of someone coming to it from Sun, and that of someone from the Apache Jserv project.

OR098: The Web and Technology Fusion

Day: Thu
Time: 11:15am
Room: Grand Caribbean III/IV
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Alfred Z. Spector

Abstract:

Advanced e-businesses require the continuing fusion of diverse software technologies to meet their scaleability, reliability, security, and programming needs. These technologies come from diverse communities who rarely talked until recently, but whose technologies must now be jointly applied if we are to continue to grow the value of the Web. This presentation discusses the synthesis of a number of programming, object-oriented computing, messaging, formatting, and transaction processing technologies, drawing on examples from both industry initiatives and IBM development. It describes the opportunities and major challenges associated with this complex, but rich and ever more powerful web infrastructure.

Yet all is not wine and roses - the ASF has several challenges ahead in attempting to face its mission. Brian will give his perspective on the events of the last year, as well as his views on where the ASF will need to go into the next year.

OR097: Sun's Apache Initiatives

Day: Fri
Time: 11:15am
Room: Grand Caribbean III/IV
Duration: 45 minutes
Speaker: Patricia Sueltz

Abstract:

Fundamental to Sun's software strategy is the continued support of the Apache Software Foundation and its community of developers. In the last year, Sun has announced two major initiatives with the ASF. The first is our partnership with Apache to deliver a world-class reference implementation of JavaServer Pages 1.1 and Servlets 2.2. The second, is Sun's donation of XML technology to the ASF as part of an industry project called xml.apache.org. The project was created in response to the overwhelming demand for open source XML and XSL tools triggered by the rapid adoption of XML and will create a best-of-breed XML parser, called Xerces. Our partnerships with the ASF are designed specifically to provide fast, best-of-breed development of essential technologies for Java developers in the most open and collaborative way possible while also ensuring immediate mass distribution.

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Duration: 60 minutes
Speaker: Simon Phipps

Abstract:

We will cover language changes and enhancements, migration issues, examples, and future directions.

Birds-of-a-Feather (BOF) Sessions

A 'birds-of-a-feather' session is a somewhat impromptu and informal get-together of people who are interested in a particular topic that isn't on the conference schedule, or who want to discuss a session topic in more detail. BOFs are commonly scheduled on-site, and take place in the session rooms during mealtimes.

BOFs are one hour long, and may be attended by anyone, whether registered for the conference itself or only for the exhibit floor. Registered conference delegates can request BOFs.

Day: Mon
Time: 9:00pm
Room: -- None assigned --
Duration: 60 minutes

Abstract:

In this BOF session, we will give a brief overview of the WSRF, WSN, and WSDM families of Web Services specifications and the new Apache implementations of these specifications. WebServicesResourceFramework (WSRF), WebServicesNotification (WSN), and WebServicesDistributedManagement (WSDM) are emerging Web services standards that, respectively, define ways to expose and control stateful resources, expose subscription-based notifications, and use Web services as an enterprise management protocol. Just last week, Hewlett Packard and the [WWW]Globus Alliance contributed implementations of WSRF and WSN to Apache. The implementations are hosted as Incubator projects sponsored by the Web Services project. The intent is that they will eventually be ws/ws-fx subprojects. The WSRF implementation is called Apollo, and the WSN implementation is called Hermes. Additionally, HP contributed an implementation of ManagementUsingWebServices (MuWS), the core specification of WSDM. This project, also hosted in the Incubator, is called Muse and is intended to eventually be a ws subproject. The presenters are Ian Springer and Sal Campana from HP, two of the developers of the Apache WSRF/WSN/MuWS implementations.

OR1158: Growing a Small Software Business

Day: Tue
Time: 8:00pm
Duration: 60 minutes

Abstract:

The world of software entrepreneurship has evolved dramatically in the last 5 years. Much attention has been focused on the big money ventures, but there has also been a quiet revolution in the world of small, self-funded software firms. In particular, the rise of Open Source software has made it much easier for small companies to develop and market software, competing effectively against larger firms many times their size. This discussion will focus on how open source software can help you grow your business and win contracts. Traditionally, much of the open source culture focuses on developer tools and culture, but open source software can actually help you across your business. Specifically, open source software provides low-cost means to market your software and services, stay in touch with your customers, and manage internal processes. What software and approaches have you found that are helpful?

Categories: Web Services
Speaker: Deepal Jayasinghe

Abstract:

<b>The first 10 people to register for this tutorial will receive a 50% scholarship courtesy of <a href="http://www.wso2.com">WSO2</a>, making the cost of this tutorial $175 for the first 10 registrants. Please email delia@apachecon.com to ask about receiving a scholarship.<br><br>WSO2 will be awarding an iPod Nano to one randomly selected tutorial attendee. WS02 will also be holding a contest for the best patch and best code sample relating to Axis 2. An iPod Nano will be awarded at the end of the ApacheCon to each of the contest winners. </b><br><br> The Axis2 project is the successor of the Axis SOAP project. Going forward from the highly influential Axis project, Axis2 aims to become the new gold standard for SOAP stacks.The architecture of Axis2 is highly flexible and supports much additional functionality compared to Axis. Axis2 is build around an XML object model called AXIOM. AXIOM provides a JDOM like simple API with the underlying structures build on a deferred model via a StAX-based pull parsing API. Additionally AXIOM allows one to stop building the object model and to directly access the underlying parse stream. The architecture of Axis2 supports convenient integration of Web services protocol implementations such as Apache WSS4J and Sandesha. It also features a highly flexible model to support for MTOM.While Axis2 attempts to preserve as many concepts of Axis as possible, due to the radical architecture of Axis2, there are many changes. In this tutorial we will briefly discuss the architecture and then discuss how services can be implemented or invoked using Axis2.Examples of handlers and modules will also be given to explain the pluggable architecture of Axis2.

OR046: Advanced PHP: Web Applications - Sessions and Authentication

Day: Fri
Time: 3:45pm
Room: Boca III/IV
Session chair: Douglas Tindell
Duration: 90 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Apache, PHP, Security
Speaker: Tobias Ratschiller

Abstract:

As Web sites and intranets get larger and more complex, static HTML files hit their limits. They are hard to maintain and cannot be used for advanced Web-based applications like e-commerce systems or XML data processing. PHP is the right tool for anyone wanting to create highly sophisticated Web applications. This server-side scripting language is fast, free, easy to use for novice users and powerful enough for professional Web developers. To understand the implications of Web application concepts, you need to differentiate between applications and single scripts. A script is a utility and as such doesn't have any context, it doesn't know about other scripts in your system. An application, however, is designed to perform more advanced tasks. An application needs to maintain state and execute transactions. This presentation will show you how to use PHP's native session management functions and third-party code to authenticate users to create a complete community Web site.

A script is a utility and as such doesn't have any context, it doesn't know about other scripts in your system. An application, however, is designed to perform more advanced tasks. An application needs to maintain state and execute transactions. This presentation will show you how to use PHP's native session management functions and third-party code to authenticate users to create a complete community Web site.

Session chair: Cliff Woolley
Duration: 120 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Java
Speaker: Erik Hatcher

Abstract:

<p>In the Java development world, there is no better example of doing more with less than Ant. It's the Swiss Army knife of Java build tools. Ant has emerged as the de-facto standard Java build tool. All modern Java IDEs integrate with it, most open-source Java projects use it. If you are developing Java software and <b>not</b> using Ant, then chances are you're doing things the hard way. It's relatively easy to craft an Ant build file by cutting and pasting pieces from other build files, but we don't want to get into a situation where maintaining the build process is a full-time job. It is important to understand Ant's capabilities in order to avoid hacking at build files. By understanding Ant's basic data types, syntax, and properties and applying some simple best practice techniques, the build process can be easily controlled, extended, and reused. Maintenance of Ant build files is minimal if crafted appropriately - lets learn how! </p> <p>This presentation will cover:</p> <ul> <li>Ant's syntax</li> <li>The basic datatypes (path, fileset, patternset, mapper, and filterset)</li> <li>Examples of how to build, package, test, and deploy</li> <li>Reusability - how to avoid duplication and simplify</li> <li>Testing techniques (JUnit and Cactus)</li> <li>XDoclet (a tool that is rapidly going to become a standard in most Java developers toolkit)</li> </ul>

Abstract:

You might find an Apache Derby java database anywhere you look -- on servers, workstations, notebooks, laptops, kiosks, CD ROMs, in your email, on a shelf, in your desk drawer. Unlike high-end enterprise databases that host machines in locked machine rooms, most Derby databases won't be behind locked doors. Derby provides security features that are specifically geared for this mobile environment, including user authorization, authentication using a variety of schemes, support for running with a Java 2 Security Manager, and database encryption. This session describes each feature and provides an example.

Categories: Databases, Java, New Technologies
Speaker: Jean Anderson

Abstract:

<B>--- FREE tutorial with any conference registration --- </b> <p> Apache Derby, an Apache DB incubator project, is the open source code base for Cloudscape. Derby is a standards-based, relational, Java database with an exceptionally small footprint that lets you embed it into any Java-based solution and deploy it anywhere. Better yet, its zero admin architecture frees you from database administration and lets you focus on application development. </p> <blockquote> <small> <pre> <code>$&nbsp;fortune <br>One picture is worth 128K words. </code> </pre> </small> </blockquote> <p> This tutorial uses a web-based fortune server to jump start developers on Derby and highlight the superior embeddability of Derby. First, it introduces the basics of Derby and SQL with a look at the fortune schema and data. Next, it shows how to create SQL functions in Java that let you fetch fortunes at random or based on regular expressions, and it does this by embedding the Jakarta math library and Jakarta Regexp in Derby. Finally, it shows how to embed Derby into Jakarta Tomcat to provide a user-friendly web interface for fetching fortunes using JDBC. </p> <blockquote> <small> <pre> <code> $&nbsp;fortune <br>A successful [software] tool is one that was used to do something undreamed of by its author.<br> -- S.

OR395: Apache Distributed Authoring Environments

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Theatre
Session chair: Martin Kraemer
Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Apache HTTP Server, Security
Speaker: Stipe Tolj

Abstract:

This sessions intends to describe an effective concept for implementing an Distributed Authoring Environment using Apache+mod_dav+mod_ssl as direct operational interface of the environment and mod_ssl+mod_auth_mysql+MySQL as authorization mechanism and permission handling for manipulating the stored data inside the distributed environment. The concept base is to ensure a maximum of security for both, authorization handling using HTTP basic authentification through SSL and data transmission handling using DAV over SSL. Scalability issues are focused since DAV users down need system accounts and user authorization can be assigned on a vhost basis. Therefore administration of write permissions for numerious Apache vhosts is decreased and can be maintained by a single administrator using its MS Access frontend to the central MySQL authentification database. We'll describe complete configuration setups for the components and present how to compile and install such an distributed environment.

Categories: ASF, Database, Java
Speaker: Jeff Genender
Speaker: Bruce Snyder

Abstract:

Apache Geronimo is the newest certified J2EE implementation on the market and developers need a jumpstart guide to ramp up as quickly as possible. Understanding how to exploit the features of Geronimo is key in becoming productive. Some of the most common issues for developers surround the configuration of services within the application server. A few of the most common services include JDBC pools, JMS topics and queues, logging and security. In addition to configuration, the deployment of enterprise applications, web applications is also critical and somewhat different in Geronimo. This session will demonstrate how to configure some common services in Geronimo as well as how to deploy applications in Geronimo. After attending this session, developers should be able to begin using Geronimo for application development and become part of the Geronimo community.

OR672: Apache handlers with mod_perl

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Athena
Session chair: Eric Cholet
Duration: 120 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Apache HTTP Server, Performance, Perl
Speaker: Rich Bowen

Abstract:

Most of the online tutorials about mod_perl focus on its use as a CGI performance enhancer (Apache::Registry and Apache::PerlRun). Using this technique, good programmers are able to gain many-times improvement in speed, and extend the life of their CGI programs. Unfortunately, most of these tutorials stop here, and don't go on to talk about what mod_perl is really good at. The real power of mod_perl is in writing Apache handlers in Perl. Although this is a fairly simple concept, it is downplayed a little, primarily because people already understand CGI, and it is usually simpler to show people how to use the code that they already have, and just make it faster. However, writing Apache handlers using mod_perl is easier than writing CGI programs, and by directly calling methods out of the Apache API, gives much better performance. Additionally, taking the opportunity to rewrite your CGI programs as mod_perl handlers will force you to write better code, and give you a better-designed system into the bargain. This talk will cover the aspects of Perl OO programming and Apache configuration that will be necessary for the core of the talk. We'll then dive into writing mod_perl handlers, configuring them for use with your mod_perl server, and get some simple ones running. Then, once we have some simple handlers running, we'll move on to slightly more in-depth topics, such as persistent database connections, template-driven content, and rapid development by factoring out common tasks. All concepts will be reinforced by examples and actual code, which will be distributed to attendees. Attendees are recommended to bring with them a laptop with Apache/mod_perl installed in order that they might follow along with the talk.

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 180 minutes
Style: Tutorial (half-day)
Categories: Apache HTTP Server, New Technologies
Speaker: Sander Striker
Speaker: Cliff Woolley

Abstract:

As any systems programmer will know, one of the biggest headaches in writing a cross-platform application is dealing with the inconsistencies between various operating systems when trying to accomplish a given task. The Apache Portable Runtime is a portability library that seeks to bridge the gaps among these different platforms by providing a consistent interface for them all while attempting to provide maximum performance on each. It forms the underpinnings of both the Apache HTTP Server 2.0 and the Subversion revision control system, among other applications, freeing them from having to handle each new operating system as a special case. Though APR has been "in development" for several years, version 1.0 has finally hit the streets in its final form. This tutorial will give an overview of the features and APIs provided by APR 1.0 plus examples of how to use these features to make your own applications portable with ease. We will also demonstrate how APR's subsystems can be used together to build more complex applications by using them to construct a simple, portable web client that can fetch pages from a webserver and write them to disk.

OR023: Apache: A Business Server

Day: Thu
Time: 3:45pm
Room: Hibiscus
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 90 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Apache, Business
Speaker: Bill Jones

Abstract:

This session is intended to provide some word-of-mouth about how Apache can be utilized more as an Application server - providing bottom-line revenue impact. Bill Jones speaks with many business entities regularly (government, educational, & private sector) and most say that Apache is too much a WEB Server to be useful as a business-centric applications server; they cite IIS as a better choice for intranet applications. Bill disagrees with this and will present a case he feels can provide justification so that businesses of all types can see the long term value in funding Apache-centric intranet developments as opposed to IIS-centric intranets.

OR077: Backhand - a load balancing module for Apache

Day: Thu
Time: 3:45pm
Room: Grand Caribbean III/IV
Session chair: Brian Behlendorf
Duration: 90 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Apache, Performance
Speaker: Theo Schlossnagle

Abstract:

Backhand is a novel, drop-in, load balancing module for Apache. This new architecture provides mechanisms to share information about clusterwide resource availability, internal proxying of requests to servers within the cluster, and an extremely flexible framework for decision making. The architecture is completely symmetric as each server can decide to serve a query or to proxy it to a better server, based on the current load in the system. All decision making algorithms have seamless (and simple) access to up-to-date resource utilization information for every machine within the cluster. Runtime inclusion of new user-written decision making algorithms is supported. Very little modification to the current Apache configuration is required for simple setups. More information is available at http://www.backhand.org

OR1523: Cocoon Blocks

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: New Technologies, Web Services, XML
Speaker: Daniel Fagerstrom

Abstract:

The Cocoon community is working hard on the next generation of Cocoon. The most important improvement is that most of the functionality will be packaged in so called blocks. The blocks architecture is built on the application framework OSGi, which also is used as the basis for the plugin architecture in Eclipse 3. A block can contain libraries and resources. At a higher level, blocks can contain reusable components. It will be possible to choose what component framework to use for each block, so that one block can contain e.g. Spring managed components and another Pico managed ones, that can cooperate seamlessly. What is maybe most exciting is that a block can contain a whole extensible web application. This will lead to a new level of application reuse. An application can be built by extending an application block and by just overriding the resources that needs to be modified. This is analogous to extension in object oriented languages. The blocks based Cocoon will put an end of todays huge download, you just download a small Cocoon core and use a deployment tool to download, configure and install the blocks that your application happens to need. In the talk the new architecture will be described and examples will be given on how applications can be devloped with the new tools.

Abstract:

<p>This is an introduction to Cocoon's control flow layer based on continuations, a concept from high level functional languages. The control flow layer allows complex interactions in Web-based applications to be described in an easy way, using a normal procedural language like JavaScript. With the control flow a developer doesn't have to model the application state and the user interactions as a finite state machine. The talk describes the architecture of the control flow, and how it can be used for developing complex Cocoon-based Web applications.</p>

OR1394: Dealing with Enterprise Database Challenges In OO Applications

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Database
Speaker: Clinton Begin

Abstract:

This presentation will focus on database challenges that object oriented developers often face in an enterprise environment. Object Relational Mapping (ORM) tools are not ideal for all databases, and therefore alternatives must be sought. In this discussion, we’ll focus on using the iBATIS Data Mapper to achieve similar advantages as provided by an ORM tool, but without some of the complications that can arise from an object relational mapping approach. The iBATIS Data Mapping framework is a popular alternative to ORM tools, while being a complementary addition to any architecture.

OR1562: Declarative Services in OSGi R4

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Java, New Technologies
Speaker: BJ Hargrave

Abstract:

The OSGi service platform defines a framework for Java for executing dynamically downloaded services. The OSGi framework's focus on dynamically available services results in a complex new programming model for most developers, since application components may appear or disappear at any time. As a result, programming OSGi-based applications is more challenging than typical application development. To alleviate this situation, the OSGi R4 specification introduces Declarative Services and the Service Component Runtime. Declarative Services allow developers to declare service components and their dependencies in an XML file and leave the complex handling of dynamics to the Service Component Runtime. This presentation will discuss the issues behind service dynamics and how service dependencies are now managed by the Service Component Runtime.

Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 180 minutes
Style: Tutorial (half-day)
Categories: Java, Java and Data, XML
Speaker: Eran Chinthaka
Speaker: Chathura Herath

Abstract:

The Axis2 project is the successor of the Axis SOAP project. Going forward from the highly influential Axis project, Axis2 aims to become the new gold standard for SOAP stacks. The architecture of Axis2 is highly flexible and supports much additional functionality compared to Axis. Axis2 is built around an XML object model called AXIOM. AXIOM provides a JDOM-like simple API with the underlying structures build on a deferred model via a StAX-based pull parsing API. Additionally AXIOM allows one to stop building the object model and to directly access the underlying parse stream. The architecture of Axis2 supports convenient integration of Web services protocol implementations such as Apache WSS4J and Sandesha. While Axis2 attempts to preserve as many concepts of Axis as possible, due to the radical architecture of Axis2, there are many changes. In this tutorial we will briefly discuss the architecture and then discuss how services can be implemented or invoked using Axis2. Examples of handlers and modules will also be given to explain the pluggable architecture of Axis2.

Day: Sun
Time: 10:30am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: Java, Java on the Web, XML
Speaker: Ugo Cei

Abstract:

Apache Cocoon is a web development framework built around the concepts of separation of concerns (making sure people can interact and collaborate on a project, without stepping on each other toes) and component-based web development. The Spring Framework is a "lightweight" container based on the principles of Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection that aims to reduce the complexity of developing enterprise Java applications. The presentation will focus on how Cocoon and Spring can be used together to provide a powerful web application development. It will demonstrate the usage of best practices (separation of concerns, layering, testability, etc.) and of patterns of enterprise application architecture (Application Controller, Domain Model, Lazy Load, Serialized LOB, Service Layer, Two Step View, Optimistic Locking, etc.) in the context of real-world applications. Using a hands-on approach, it will introduce the following techniques: - Finding and invoking Spring-managed services from Cocoon. - Using Aspect Oriented Programming to provide transparency and declarative transaction management. - Using Object-Relational mappers to bridge the O-R gap. - Streamlining the control flow of web applications with Cocoon's continuation-based Flowscript. - Implementing rich web forms with Cocoon Forms. In the end, we aim to demonstrate how the development of Java enterprise web applications can be made simpler and more effective with the right combination of patterns and Open Source tools.

Categories: Perl
Speaker: Gerald Richter

Abstract:

Embperl (http://perl.apache.org/embperl/) has grown over the last 4 years from a Perl module for simply embedding Perl into HTML to a full featured system to build dynamic content under mod_perl. After a short introduction covering the basics like syntax, session handling, form field processing etc. the talk will focus on the more advanced topics and show how Embperl helps you to create a Website out of small reusable objects, how to use different syntaxes (e.g., SSI, ASP and Embperl in the same document) and how to create a pipline out of multiple processing steps. This leads to the new XML capabilities, which let you transform XML in multiple steps towards the desired result format. For this purpose Embperl intgrates the Apache Xerces C++ XML Parser and Xalan C++ XSLT processor and provides processors to dynamicly alter the content, along with technices to plugin own transformations. The end of the talk will cover performance issues like caching and gives a preview what's coming next.

Speaker: Gerald Richter

Abstract:

<p> This talk shows how to build a large scale Websites/Webapplications with Perl using Embperl (<a href="http://perl.apache.org/embperl/" >http://perl.apache.org/embperl/</a>). It discusses the concept of separation of application logic, display logic, content and layout and how this can be implememted within Embperl. It covers how application objects are created and what they are good for, how whole pages are broken up into components and how Embperls inherence model for components is working and what are its benefits. It continues with giving an impression of Embperls processing pipeline, which allows to create the output of a component within mutiple transformation, so very different data sources and redering technics can be used. Among others this comprises embedding Perl into HTML, using static XML, generating XML dynamicly, doing XSLT transformations and using XSL-FO to generate HTML, XML, PDF, text and other output formats. At this point we will also see how Embperl interacts with Apache, how it uses the new Apache 2.0 features to integrate or postprocess the output generated by Java, PHP or legency CGI-scripts and will hear about the performance improvements for Embperl caused by Apache's new threading MPM. During our journey through Embperl's possibilities we will also get in touch other with features necessary to build a large scale Websites like session handling, caching, database access and internationalization.

Speaker: Nicolas Schmidt

Abstract:

The European Space Agency's existing Earth Observation Principal Investigator portal (EOPI) has been run and maintained efficiently and reliably using Apache components (Tomcat, httpd, mod_jk, mod_rewrite). In this project, it was enhanced with search by location functionality. We implemented real-time polygon visualization of manually entered coordinates. Open source components were used to enhance significantly the functionality of a standard map server. It has been our strategy to assemble off-the-shelf products with open source components in order to realize top-notch integration solutions for tight-budgeted projects. The EOPI Platform enhancement is yet another case study for this strategy: We show how we realized the geographic search capabilites using a standard mid-range map server product. We outline the way we met customer requirements by adding high-end functionality to the used product by integrating open source components. Finally, we would like to broaden the scope and show potentials and limitations of our assembling strategy to meet todays customer demands.

OR516: Flash up your PHP

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 90 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: PHP
Speaker: Marian Heddesheimer

Abstract:

Anyone who wants to create a film in Macromedia's Flash (swf) format needs to buy the authoring tool from Macromedia, right? Wrong! With a freely available library called "ming", it is possible to write swf-files without requiring Macromedia's authoring tool. The library uses the available information on the swf-file description to build an swf-generator that can be used with several programming languages, including PHP. This session will show how to use the ming library with PHP, and how to build a Web site where the users can arrange their own Flash films and download the resulting swf-file, or send a link to the created film as a greeting card.

Abstract:

In this session, we'll look at all the issues involved in creating a Web services application using the Apache Axis Project and Macromedia’s Flash. In first section of the session we will build a few simple web services from the ground up. While doing this, we will take a look some of the different methods of developing and testing web services, how you can secure your web services, and how these web services can be published for later consumption. Once we have our collection of web services defined and deployed, we will then look at how you can put a Flash interface on the web services. In this part of the session, we will take a brief look at some simple Flash interfaces and how these interfaces are built. We will also take a look at some of the different Flash methods of communicating with a remote server. After this brief intro into Flash, we will focus the remainder of our time putting a Flash UI together that communicates with our previously developed web services.

Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 60 minutes

Categories: Case Study
Speaker: Brian Fitzpatrick

Abstract:

Even before Subversion reached 1.0 last year, a trickle of open source projects migrated from CVS to Subversion. Recently, that trickle has become a geyser as the Apache Software Foundation, Samba and many others have taken the Subversion plunge. Those leading the way in this migration have discovered that it's easy to get lost in the technical details of converting to a new tool, especially one as important as a version control system, while neglecting the needs of the team using the tool. Converting your repository itself is only a small part of the process of converting your team to Subversion. Without careful planning, preparation, education, and managing expectations, you could wind up losing productivity, your team's trust, or--if you really foul it up--your job. This talk will review best practices for migrating to Subversion based on case studies of teams that have already made the switch.

OR1099: High-speed ObjectWeb Logger (HOWL) for J2EE Application Servers

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Parthenon 3
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: E-Commerce, Java, Performance
Speaker: Michael Giroux

Abstract:

This session provides an overview of the implementation, performance objectives and current development status of the High-speed ObjectWeb Logger (HOWL) project. HOWL is currently integrated in Apache Geronimo, Codehaus ActiveMQ and ObjectWeb JOTM. J2EE Application Servers implement Transaction Management supporting coordination of transactions across multiple Resource Managers using XA 2-Phase-Commit protocol. Persisting the state of active transactions using a transaction journal is a requirement for recovery from a system failure, such as the loss of a participating Resource Manager. Writing journal records without significantly impacting system performance is key to a successful transaction journal implementation. The Geronimo project has a stated performance objective of 10,000 TX/Sec, and the transaction log should use no more than 25% CPU. The presentation will describe the techniques used in HOWL to meet this requirement.

OR989: Highly available web sites with Tomcat and Clustered JDBC

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Room: Apollo 1

Duration: 60 minutes
Style: Presentation
Categories: E-Commerce, Java, New Technologies, Performance
Speaker: Emmanuel Cecchet

Abstract:

Tomcat clustering capabilities have proven useful for building scalable and highly available web or e-commerce sites. However, the database usually becomes the bottleneck and a single point of failure. This talk will show you how to build end-to-end highly available web sites using Clustered JDBC (http://c-jdbc.objectweb.org) with Tomcat. C-JDBC provides clustering techniques at the JDBC level which makes it database independent (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, ...). Moreover, C-JDBC does not require application to your existing servlets. We will present different Tomcat+C-JDBC configurations offering various performance, fault tolerance and availability tradeoffs. The session will also feature a demo of the administration tools. Involved technologies are: - Apache HTTP Server - mod_jk - Tomcat clustering - JDBC, C-JDBC - PostgreSQL, MySQL, HypersonicSQL - JMX (for admin)

OR1485: How to Unit Test the User Interface of Web Applications

Day: Sun
Time: 0:00am
Session chair: None assigned
Duration: 180 minutes
Style: Tutorial-half
Categories: Case Study, Database, Java, Web Services
Speaker: Thomas Dudziak

Abstract:

Web applications are of ever increasing complexity both on the server and the client side. The latter is especially true with the incorporation of new technologies such as AJAX which move certain parts of the flow logic to the client. However testing web applications is usually limited to the server side and to testing with libraries that mimic a client, but not using a real browser. In this session we will show how the user interface of a Java based web application can be tested in a real web browser (Mozilla) in normal JUnit tests. For this purpose, we will examine a sample webapp that uses common web application technologies (spring, spring-webflow, struts, OJB) and also incorporates some AJAX functionality. For this web application, we will showhow to programatically setup the database for each of these tests using the DdlUtils project, how to capture the behaviour of the user interface in simple unit tests that use a real browser and how these tests are performed using normal web servers/servlet containers (Jetty, Tomcat).

Furthermore, thanks to the diagnosing technologies provided by Tidy, HTML documents can be diagnosed and even corrected on the fly to ensure complete HTML or XHTML compliance before being sent to the end user. This talk assumes users are familiar with basic PHP object-oriented and procedural constructs. </p>
