		Parasoft SYS-CON.TV Webcast : Delivering AJAX

"Enterprise AJAX Using Java" by Java Rock Star Greg Murray
Creator of jMaki will demonstrate client-side scripting with Java technologies
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - Java technologies are the backbone of many of the conventional web applications services in use today. The emergence of AJAX and Web 2.0 does not require that we scrap all of our web applications though it does cause us to think differently in how we design and manage our applications and services. This talk will cover building enterprise Web 2.0 style applications using Java.

Google's Java-To-JavaScript Compiler : The Google Web Tookit
Scott Blum's "a big fan of Java and a bigger fan of Eclipse"
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - AJAX has been great for users (richer, faster experience) and great for servers (less processor and network per user). But actually producing and maintaining great AJAX apps can be painful for developers and costly for companies. In this session we'll show you how using Google Web Toolkit takes the pain out of writing AJAX. Warning: Side effects may include reusable code, support for Opera and Safari, and catching problems at the developer's desk instead of the user's browser.

Inventor of Struts On "Encapsulating AJAX Functionality in JSF Components"
Craig McClanahan, architect for Sun Java Studio Creator, also led JSF 1.0
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - One of the challenges of deploying AJAX-based web applications is the complexity of composing the UI. There are many advanced JavaScript libraries available, but they are generally not accessible to "mere mortal" developers. This session describes techniques for using JavaServer Faces components to encapsulate AJAX functionality, and therefore make it possible to shield the application developer from much of this complexity.

Making AJAX Nimble and Quick With JackBe
"Core J2EE Patterns" author is now JackBe's CTO
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - "Services" are everywhere, from internally-focused SOAs to public services from Federal Express, eBay, Amazon and Google. But there's no "User" in "SOA" and delivering services to business users can gets harder when enterprise application requirements for security and availability are added to the requirements list. AJAX (and Web 2.0 in general) represents a vast improvement of client applications in terms of usability. AJAX is the future of rich enterprise application development. Developers have the opportunity to deliver new, advanced methods for data manipulation and visualization. Most important, AJAX complements the loosely-coupled nature of Services perfectly. AJAX can make the perfect delivery medium for services to business users. But his synergy required a proper architecture. JackBe's unique combination of AJAX and SOA expertise will help attendees understand the needs and solutions to create truly Enterprise AJAX solutions using AJAX and SOA.

Oracle ADF Faces Experts Are Now "Brane Surgeons"
John Fallows and Jonas Jacobi will introduce The Real-Time Web
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - There's a common misconception among many end-users, consumers, and developers that AJAX is the ultimate solution for the Web, and that it can provide all the same functionality as a rich desktop solution. Sure, AJAX can cover most of our expectations for a rich client, mimicking functionality provided by a desktop application, but there's still one area that has yet to be fully integrated: scalable, server-initiated message delivery - Enterprise Comet. Comet is an advanced technique to enable real-time messaging from a Web server to one or more browsers, even if some of those browsers are behind a firewall or proxy server. In this talk Jonas and John will use Faces, Dojo, Bayeux, Comet, and Grizzly to illustrate how you can build server-initiated message driven JavaServer Faces components, and how to leverage these to build next generation Web applications. Grizzly enhances the Glassfish project with Comet support via Asynchronous Request Processing (ARP), addressing any server-side scalability concerns with Comet. Dojo Toolkit provides the client-side JavaScript support for Comet, including the Bayeux Protocol, used to coordinate shared access to the Comet notification channel coming from the server. JavaServer Faces provides the standard component abstraction for Java EE developers to create Comet-enabled Web applications using the same building blocks as traditional AJAX JSF components.

EJB 3.0 and Hibernate Guru Gavin King Turns To AJAX
The Father of Seam will explore the interplay of Seam and AJAX
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - Gavin King, the founder of the Hibernate project, is also the "Father of Seam" - which may have ignited the latest Java revolution by taking on another big problem for Java developers: how to better build end-to-end web apps with state, orchestration and reliability? "Quite simply," says King, "Seam is an abstract architecture for stateful, event-driven apps which can be equally applicable to J2EE and SOA applications." As the man behind the Hibernate approach to solving persistence, King has firm opinions. "For now AJAX frameworks are all still basically experimental technology," he has written. He contributed heavily to the design of EJB 3.0 and with Christian Bauer, he was author of Hibernate in Action. King works for JBoss, Inc, leading the development of Hibernate and Seam, implementing EJB 3.0, and providing services to JBoss customers. He lives in Melbourne, Australia, and Atlanta, Georgia.

AJAX Development With JavaServer Faces
Kito Mann, editor-in-chief of JSF Central, will reveal all
by Java News Desk
(March 5, 2007) - This session explains how you can build attractive, AJAX-enabled applications using JavaServer Faces (JSF) technology without the use of manually-coded JavaScript. After a brief overview of JSF and the JSF programming model, the session explains how component vendors leverage JSF's architecture to build AJAX components, and shows several of AJAX component suites in action. The session ends with a discussion of how JSF will evolve to provide even better AJAX support.
