Compass is an open source Java Search Engine framework, allowing the integration of search functionality into any application. One of Compass main modules is a Spring integration module, heavily used among Compass user base.
In this session, we will first review the main features of Compass, focusing on Compass extensive integration with Spring. We will then see how Compass can be used to add google like search capability to Spring's petclinic sample with almost no coding involved using JPA and Annotations.
Shay Banon is the founder of the Compass open source project, a unique solution enabling search capabilities into any application model. He started working on mission critical real time C/C++ systems, later moving to Java (and never looked back). Within the Java world, Shay has worked on a propriety implementation of a distributed rule engine(RETE) server, your typical Java based web projects, and messaging based projects within the financial industry. Currently, Shay is a System Architect at GigaSpaces, GigaSpaces provides a single platform for end-to-end scalability of high performance and stateful distributed applications. GigaSpaces' unique approach enables developers to Write their business logic Once and then seamlessly Scale out the application linearly Anywhere.
Spring 2.5 on the Way to 3.0— This talk discusses Spring as a modern Java 5 oriented application framework - covering the core component model, integration with common technologies such as JPA and JSF, as well as Spring's annotation-driven web MVC.
Spring Web Services 1.0— Spring Web Services 1.0 provides a flexible, powerful Web services framework by facilitating best practices such as contract-first Web service development, the WS-I basic profile, and loose coupling between contract and implementation, allowing for the creation of flexible Web services using one of the many ways to manipulate XML payloads. By providing developers with a simpler approach to contract-first development, Spring-WS resolves many of the interoperability issues associated with typical Web services approaches.
Spring and Eclipse RCP— Eclipse as a Rich Client Platform is increasingly mainstream. Organizations from NASA to IBM to major banks and airlines have adopted RCP as a core platform for building their applications. In this talk we look at various current RCP usecases and examples and discuss the synergies with Spring.
Spring IDE - Tooling for the Spring Framework— Spring IDE provides support features within the Eclipse platform for Spring Framework development. It gives you useful tools to validate and visualize your bean definitions as well as support while editing Spring Bean defintions with content assist and much more.
Spring Batch— Spring Batch is the only comprehensive lightweight batch framework designed to enable batch development for enterprise systems of varying complexity. Simple as well as complex, high-volume batch jobs can leverage this framework in a highly scalable manner.
