Rocky Mountain Software Symposium - Session Information

Groovy: Greasing the Wheels of Java
by Scott Davis

In this presentation, we take a very pragmatic "prove it in code" approach to learning Groovy. Since the syntax is (almost) identical to Java, we can dive right in from the very beginning, learning the "syntactic sugar" as we solve real world problems.

You'll learn how easy it is to install Groovy and get started working with it. You'll tackle file I/O, reading and creating text files. You'll create and parse XML and HTML. You'll interact with databases. You'll create Groovlets (servlets sprinkled with Groovy-dust). And finally, you'll get a brief introduction to Grails (hint: the 'G' is silent).

Essential db4o
by Ted Neward

Tired of writing object-table mappings? For years, Java developers have wrestled with the problems of storing objects into relational format and retrieving them back again; for all that Hibernate and JDO and other O/R tools make it easier (though not easy) to do, isn't there another way? In this presentation, we'll explore an alternative approach, real object persistence, using the db4o toolkit (www.db4objects.com).

ACEGI Authentication - The AJAX way
by Brian Pontarelli

Learn how to use ACEGI in an AJAX friendly way so that when you user's sessions expire, they can quickly log back into the application and continue where they left off. This will cover in detail the changes that were made to the ACEGI framework to support AJAX authentication, why ACEGI needed to be changed and how to implement this solution in a new or existing application that uses the ACEGI framework for authentication.

Java/Ruby Integration with JRuby and ReST
by Bruce Tate

You can have rapid web development with Rails without losing access to your critical Java code. With the explosion of the Ruby programming language, more developers will need a strategy for letting Java and Ruby interoperate. This session explores two strategies: JRuby and Rails-based web services.

Automating Business Value with FIT and FitNesse
by David Hussman

The presentation will briefly discuss stories, the origin and authoring of story tests, and a demonstration of how FIT and FitNesse (FIT living within a Wiki) can be used to automate acceptance tests.

J2EE Security @ Work: J2EE Meets JAAS
by Tom Marrs

Have you wasted time writing lots of security-based code and ever wondered if there's a better way to add security to your application? Are you confused by declarative security? Have you read about JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization Service) but wondered where it fits? Have you ever said, "Can I just see a working example"? If so, then this talk is for you.
