                This presentation will describe how to embed a scripting engine using BSF and/or Java6, discuss the pros and cons of the various ones available, and how to put enough safeguards around the scripts to make sure that your application can't be hijacked by bad users' scripts. (For any intermediate Java audience, as a 90-minute presentation. Ask about the possibility of delivering it as a half-day or full-day tutorial.)&#xD;

				Hibernate has evolved as the de facto standard for persistence in most Spring-based applications. However, many people are turning to iBATIS as an open source persistence alternative for Spring. iBATIS is a powerful open source persistence framework that is rapidly gaining in popularity, particularly within the Spring community. In this session you will learn why iBATIS is becoming so popular, how iBATIS differs from Hibernate and JPA (JSR-220), and how to use iBATIS as the persistence framework for spring-based applications. Through interactive coding examples I will demonstrate how to configure iBATIS within Spring and show how to define mapping files for simple SQL statements, complex SQL statements, and Stored Procedures. I will also discuss the various caching strategies available within iBATIS and the techniques, design strategies, and best practices for using iBATIS in small and large-scale spring-based applications.&#xD;
