Oracle Activities at EclipseWorld 2008:

Hands on Workshop - Tuesday, October 29 1:45pm – 5:00pm
Hands on with JAX-WS, JAXB, Java class redefinition
Building and Deploying Applications with Oracle WebLogic Server 10g R3 and Workshop for WebLogic 10gR3
This lab takes attendees through a series of hands-on exercises with Oracle WebLogic Server, using the Oracle Workshop for WebLogic Eclipse plug-ins. Following a short introductory IDE demo showing EJB3/JPA tooling, work with new Oracle WebLogic Server features such as the redesigned Oracle WebLogic Console, FastSwap (Java Class redefinition), Application Upgrade, visual Oracle WebLogic deployment descriptor editors, running/debugging applications on the server, and new Java EE 5 JAX-WS Web services tools at your own pace. You should already have basic skills with Eclipse, Web services and Java EE development.
This lab requires you to bring your own laptop -- Minimum HW spec: 2GB+ RAM, 2GB+ disk space -- Windows Vista, 2000, XP SP2, 2003 (32bit) or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.0, x86
INSTRUCTORS: Greg Stachnick, Pieter Humphrey

305 JAX-WS, JAXB, Java class redefinition and other Java EE - Eclipse adventures
By Pieter Humphrey and Greg Stachnick
In this session you will see live demonstration of how to use Eclipse for developing JAX-WS and JAXB driven web services, automatic generation of client libraries, custom JAXB bindings, and other Java EE web services capabilities. Eclipse / Java developers will be excited to see the implementation and IDE support for Java’s class redefinition, which allows developers to change Java classes on the fly without the lengthy redeployment cycles. Oracle WebLogic Server users will be able to leverage this capability to make their changes, auto compile, and then see the effects immediately. Step by step instructions and hands on materials will be made available online for you to work with what you see onstage at your own pace.

503 Java Persistence Freedom Through XML Binding
By Doug Clarke
Developers face a number of options when dealing with XML in their Java applications. The most important question is whether to work directly with the XML DOM or to use Object-XML Mapping (OXM, also known as XML Binding).
Mapping XML to a domain object model simplifies Java development by allowing developers to work with rich objects instead of generic DOM elements. OXM is gaining popularity in the Java community, but not all OXM frameworks are equal. When selecting an OXM framework for a project, it’s important to consider performance, standards compliance, usability and flexibility.
In this class, you’ll learn all about OXM and see how these issues are addressed by EclipseLink MOXy, a component of the Java Persistence Platform. EclipseLink provides a rich OXM solution that addresses a wide range of application requirements while providing the benefit of integration with other EclipseLink persistence capabilities.

706 Java Persistence Applications With Eclipse JPA and Dali
By Neil Hauge and Doug Clarke
With the release of Dali JPA Tools 1.0 and the availability of Eclipse JPA from the EclipseLink project, you now have a complete Java Persistence API platform and runtime environment from Eclipse!
In this class, you’ll learn how to use the Eclipse JPA runtime and see how the Dali tooling provides a platform for developing portable persistence applications across all compliant JPA providers. We’ll look at JPA object-relational mappings and what configuration metadata is needed to get an application up and running.
Learn the difference between writing applications targeted for a full Java EE 5 container and those built to run in a stand-alone Java SE environment. You’ll also discover how Dali’s integration with the Web Tools Platform supports development for a variety of runtime environments.

Thursday, Oct. 30, 2:35 pm – 3:50 pm
804 Building JavaServer Faces Apps with Eclipse Tools
By Raghu Srinivasan
The JavaServer Faces UI framework simplifies the development of Java Web applications by providing a component-centric approach to developing user interfaces. This class will teach you how to use the Eclipse JSF Tools to simplify the development of JSF Web applications.
You’ll learn how to build an end-to-end JSF Web application using the Eclipse JSF Tools project. We’ll explore the project’s support for the Apache MyFaces Trinidad tag library. We’ll also walk through the process of building a Web application using Facelets, the popular view handler that uses XHTML (instead of JSP) to define a JSF page. Basic knowledge of Java and Web application development is required.

The Eclipse Java Persistence Platform: EclipseLink’s Full Monty
By Peter Krogh and Doug Clarke
The announcement of Eclipse’s Java Persistence Platform project signals the inauguration of a new generation of persistence in which all of the dominant persistence standards are implemented and accessible from a single source. The project, nicknamed EclipseLink, is composed of a set of separate runtime components that run in both clients and servers, and is the first open-source project to offer a full suite of persistence technologies.
