A Dynamic MVC Development Approach Using Java 6 Scripting, Groovy, and WebLEAF
You've probably heard the benefits of scripting languages in Java SE 6, but have you thought about how to put them to use? In this article, Daniel López shows how to use Groovy for the business logic of a fully MVC web app, swapping around view frameworks to prove its flexibility.

j1-2k7-mtT10: Turning Unit Tests into Performance and Reliability Tests
Java developers undertake a lot of effort to build unit and functional tests while they build software services and applications. PushToTest is the open-source SOA governance and test automation platform that turns unit and functional tests into scalability and performance tests. The new PushToTest Release 5 runtime adds support for JSR 223 dynamic scripting languages so unit tests may be written in Java, Jython, Groovy, JRuby, Rhino and many other languages. In this session Frank Cohen, founder of PushToTest, will demonstrate creating a unit test and operating it as a scalability test in a distributed environment of test machines.

j1-2k7-mtW09: OpenJDK Quality Team Introduction and Discussion
It takes a village to grow an open source project. Any open source project lives from a wide range of contributions, not just bug fixes, new features, and other changes to the software, but evangelism, user groups, artwork, and more. The OpenJDK Quality Team is being formed by Sun's Java SE quality team to inspire collaboration with the public related to OpenJDK and Java SE quality. The quality team gives you opportunities to create tests, perform test execution, give feedback on current test plans, and more. In this java.net Community Corner mini-talk from JavaOne 2007, David Herron introduces the OpenJDK quality team.

j1-2k7-mtT14: Keaton: Calling QTKit from Java
Want to play audio, video, or multimedia in a Java application? QuickTime for Java opened the door to Apple's extensive QuickTime library, but times are changing and QTJ seems headed for deprecation. In fact, Apple is pushing Mac developers away from the old procedural-C QuickTime API altogether. In its place is a new object-oriented, Cocoa-aligned framework called QTKit. Great for Objective-C programmers, but what about the Java crowd? The Keaton project, something of a successor to Lloyd, will create a one-to-one mapping of Java objects to Obj-C objects, so you can work with QTMovies and QTMovieViews directly in Java code. Come see this talk to see how it works and how you can use it in your Mac Java application.

j1-2k7-mtT12: Open Software Factory
The project Open Software Factory (aka openmodelerp) is an ongoing process to develop a set of tools and a corresponding set of methods for effective Model-Driven Software Development (MDSD).
Abstraction is fundamental to software development. Abstractions are provided by models. Modeling and model transformation constitute the core of MDSD. Models can be refined and finally be transformed into a technical implementation, i.e., a software system.
This talk will begin with a quick overview of basic MDSD concepts. The remainder of the talk will discuss how the Open Software Factory supports MDSD. We will summarize our current achievements and briefly outline our plans for the future. The talk will share our project's experience in both developing Open Software Factory and applying it to develop to simple 2 Demonstration applications. The following issues will be briefly mentioned in the talk.
- The apparent productivity gains of using OSF and the MDSD paradigm in general.
- The benefits of using OSF to make models more abstract, independent of their implementation.
- The efficient re-targeting of an application model to a new platform.
- The automation of repetitive parts of software development that are inherent when using current infrastructures (J2EE, Struts, Spring, Hibernate, JSF, etc ...).
- Combining the use of OSF with best practices of Agile Software Development and the resulting synergy.
- Implications for other development tools such as NetBeans to support MDSD.
- Current challenges for the Java Open Source community to have a complete toolchain to support MDSD, not tied to any specific vendor.

Track Conversation State on the Client using Applets
HTTP's statelessness has long been a challenge to web app developers, requiring state to be maintained somewhere, usually on the server. Ganesh Ram Santhanam offers a new approach, exploiting an interesting trait of the Java plugin to allow applets to maintain state for your JavaScript, even across Applet.destroy() calls.

j1-2k7-mtT03: Web continuations with RIFE and Terracotta
State management has always been a complex and tricky part of web application development. Continuations simplify this and automatically allow you to create a one-to-one conversation between users and a web application. State preservation and flow control no longer need to be handled manually, bringing you back to the simplicity of single user console applications. Remember 'scanf()'?
This presentation will introduce continuations from general principles, followed by practical examples that explain how they benefit web application development and their frequent usage patterns. Finally, automatic fail-over and scalability will be demonstrated through the integration with Open Terracotta.

UISpec4J: Java GUI Testing Made Simple
GUI's are notoriously difficult to test, and the robot-based approach to automated testing makes agile development difficult, as you need finished GUIs before you can test. The UISpec4J project takes a different approach, and in this article Régis Medina and Pascal Pratmarty show how it works.

j1-2k7-mtW07: Closures Q and A
In a followup to his JavaOne 2007 technical session, Neal Gafter offers a 15-minute question-and answer session on a proposal to add closures to the Java programming language. He makes the case for Closures making Java programs easier to read, and handles questions about closure expression serializability, continuations, patterns and boilerplate that suggest the need for closures, and whether closures really fit into the language.

j1-2k7-mtT09: Teaching Java: from High School Student to Professional Developer
It goes without saying that programming is the key skill for software development professionals. It is also, traditionally, very hard to teach and learn. This talk by Ian Utting will introduce a set of free tools designed to introduce students to OO programming via Java in High Schools (Greenfoot), at the start of the University careers (BlueJ), and as they progress towards using full-scale professional IDEs (NetBeans/BlueJ Edition).
