eXo Webinar: eXo Platform 3, the User Experience Platform for Java

Monday, October 4th, 2010

eXo Platform 3, the User Experience Platform for Java, provides a solid enterprise-ready foundation for portal-based applications, with the collaboration, social and content features developers need to build modern, user-centric Java apps.

Join Tugdual Grall, SVP of Product Strategy & Development at eXo, as he gives a tour of some of the capabilities of eXo Platform 3, as well as an overview of the product architecture. Attendees will be introduced to several common use case scenarios:

  • Social Intranet: building a modern corporate intranet with activity streams, chat, group workspaces, calendars, and other collaboration spaces
  • Web 2.0 Websites: using eXo Platform 3′s powerful content management capabilities to develop portal-based websites
  • Application Development Platform: how to use the web-based IDE to build gadgets and mashups, and create custom APIs to extend eXo Platform 3

The presentation will also include live demonstrations of sample apps built with eXo Platform.

eXo at JUDCon Berlin: GateIn Presentation from Julien Viet

Friday, October 1st, 2010

For those of you who are attending the JBoss User & Developers Conference (JUDCon) in Berlin next week, be sure to check out Julien Viet’s session. Julien, who serves as the project manager (from the eXo side) for GateIn, will be giving a talk on Day 2 of the conference, 8 October, at 14:30 in the Workflow and BPM track. He’ll be introducing Chromattic, an open source project that provides GateIn with a JCR persistence layer for rapid development of content-based apps. Here’s the complete abstract:

Julien Viet – Advanced JCR Persistence in the GateIn Portal Framework

The GateIn Portal comes with a built in Java Content Repository server for managing pages, layouts and portlets. The Chromattic open source project was initiated to develop the GateIn object model persistence in a JCR server. Beyond natively powering the heart of GateIn, Chromattic can be used to rapidly develop rich and complex JCR based applications.

Chromattic is an object mapper framework that uses JCR as persistence layer. It provides a natural support for various JCR features, thanks to the usage of Java Annotations. Annotations declare which and how classes are mapped to nodes, turning any repository node into a Java object. It provides important features to JCR development such as type safety and object orientation which are lacking when the JCR native interfaces are used. Moderns IDE most used features like code completion and refactoring are de facto available when developing Chromattic applications.

The key concepts of Chromattic will be presented, through the development of a simple Chromattic application in real-time. This sample application will be made available to the attendees so they can use the sample code as a starting point. This advanced technical session will show:

  • How to integrate Chromattic with a modern IDE using a Maven-based build
  • How to deploy a Chromattic application in GateIn
  • How to connect to and manage a repository server
  • In addition, several advanced features of Chromattic will be highlighted, to demonstrate the power of the framework.

    eXo’s Apache Maven Expert on JUG Tour

    Thursday, March 25th, 2010

    eXo’s very own Arnaud Hertier is going on tour, speaking at 6 upcoming JUG events throughout France and Switzerland.  Arnaud is one of the key contributors to Apache Maven, and even co-authored a book on the subject (Apache Maven from Pearson).  He’s going to be teaching Java developers how to leverage Maven as a tool through a development project lifecycle, covering topics like dependency management, continuous integration, metrics utilization, quality reports and more.

    For our readers in France & Switzerland, here are some more details (in French, of course):

    Arnaud Héritier, membre des communautés Apache Maven et Codehaus Mojo, et auteur du célèbre “Apache Maven”, viendra vous parler de l’utilisation de Maven en entreprise et des nouveautés de la version 3.x.

    Software Factory Manager pour eXo, Arnaud vous présentera son retour d’expérience de l’utilisation de Maven dans une forge logicielle professionnelle : ce que Maven apporte à chaque étape de la construction d’un logiciel.
    Arnaud abordera ainsi successivement comment maven intervient pour chacune de ces étapes:

    * le build du projet sur le poste du développeur
    * la gestion des dépendances et des dépôts
    * la mise en place de l’intégration continue
    * l’utilisation des métriques et des rapports de qualité
    * le déploiement continu

    Arnaud Héritier en quelques mots:

    Arnaud Héritier est Software Factory Manager chez eXo. Il est actuellement en charge des méthodes et outils afin d’améliorer la qualité des produits, et la productivité des équipes en interne, mais aussi chez les intégrateurs et clients.

    Passionné par le développement de logiciels, Arnaud a rejoint en 2004 la communauté Open Source du projet Apache Maven. Il est ensuite entré dans son comité de direction en 2005. Il participe également à la rédaction d’un ouvrage sur le sujet en Français avec un autre membre du projet : Nicolas de Loof.

    Arnaud participe dès que possible aux événements communautaires pour partager sa passion (Java Users Groups, Java BarCamps, …).

    Il viens de publier avec quelques ex-collègues un livre blanc chez OCTO Technology : Java Productivity Primer, Twelve guidelines to boost your productivity with a software factory. Ce dernier est disponible gratuitement en téléchargement en Français et en Anglais.”

    Title: How to build a multi-tenancy online development platform in Java

    Abstract:

    … or, more specifically, how to build a multi-tenancy online development platform in Java thanks to JCR, JAX-RS, OpenSocial Gadgets, Groovy and GateIn?

    Building traditional Java UI applications requires a long development cycle. This presentation will show how eXo leverages several Java specifications to assemble an online application development platform that can be used to build private and public clouds.

    This presentation is intended for Java developers and architects that would like to expand their knowledge to new concepts related to cloud and online agile development.

    We will see how a JCR repository data store can be used to:

    * model a cloud tenant
    * to store and dynamically deploy JAX-RS services written in Groovy
    * to store and dynamically deploy OpenSocial Gadgets that connect to previously online-created REST APIs
    * to remotely expose those Gadgets to the public cloud
