A Freakonomic Take on Open Standards and Jakarta EE

Java Stage — 45 minutes Java

Words like standard, de-facto, de-jure and open are frequently used and abused in our industry. The reality is that few people really understand what these words actually mean or how these ideas effect their own professional lives in the long and short term. This session aims to clear the air on some of these terms and outline why open standards like Jakarta EE are critically important to you today and in the future. We will explore these concepts in the context of well-established economic theories on competition, monopoly power, the network effect, innovation, open source and open standards - in true Freakonomist style!

Effective Transactions Management with Spring

Java Stage — 30 minutes Java

Are you interested in developing concurrent applications that need to run safely and correctly? Are you looking for efficient ways to separate each transaction execution, isolated from the other ones? Are you interested in analyzing the mechanisms provided by Spring for effectively managing concurrent transactions? Working with transactions is a science and an art, and the talk will examine the main concepts of Spring Transactions and the mechanisms behind them. We’ll demonstrate their effective implementation in an application, debugging the concurrent executions while varying their essential parameters, such as isolation and propagation. Listeners will find out how to develop Java concurrent applications using Spring Transactions and how to effectively manage their parameters. We’ll also dive into debugging the way the isolation and propagation parameters work, demonstrating and analyzing concurrent transactional executions. The talk will be highly oriented on analyzing and debugging the transactional code.  Read More...
