Session Descriptions
Dan Allen - Senior Software Engineer - JBoss by Red Hat, Author, Open Source Advocate
CDI (JSR-299), Weld and the future of Seam
This talk introduces JSR-299: Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform (CDI), the new Java standard for dependency injection and contextual lifecycle management. The talk covers the core programming model, explains its relationship to EJB 3.1 and JSF 2.0, and clarifies how it unifies and enhances the Java EE platform as a whole (extending to JPA, JAX-RS and JMS). You are then introduced to Weld, the JSR-299 reference implementation, and its servlet container extension. Finally, we look ahead at how a modularized Seam 3 ties into this new foundation as a set of portable CDI extensions, previewing several examples.
JSF 2: Keeping Progress Coming
This presentation will provide an in-depth introduction to many of the new JSF 2.0 features and will ask of each: Is the currently specified solution sufficient? We'll also consider whether other concerns (paper cuts) have been overlooked?
Maturing your application's security with Seam Security
Learn how Seam's security can protect your application throughout the development life cycle, from simple authentication to fine-grained, rule-based security restrictions.
Seam & RESTEasy: You haven't seen REST yet
JSR-311 (JAX-RS) is one of the simplest, most elegant of all the Java EE specifications and is showing early signs of becoming an overwhelming success. It lets you to create RESTful web services from existing Java EE components by sprinkling a handful of annotations over it. But the downside is that the resource must be a Java EE component. Seam's RESTEasy module allows you to use JAX-RS annotations on your existing Seam components, giving your web services access to the Seam container and, dually, an alternate interface to your Seam application.
Jay Balunas - A core developer at JBoss, and the RichFaces project lead.
RichFaces Component Toolbox: Today and Tomorrow
In this session we'll explore some of the corners of the RichFaces toolbox in detail and give you a taste of some advanced functionality. This will include a demo of RichFaces drag-n-drop, ajax request queues, layout components and more. I'll also be covering some recent changes to the project, and our plans for RichFaces 4; for example, how RichFaces 4 with full JSF 2.0 integration will change various components such as a4j:support, the Component Development Kit (CDK), etc….
The Best Kept Secrets of Seam, RichFaces, JSF and Facelets
This session discloses best practices, tips and techniques and including inside information to save you in a pinch and maximize your use of Seam, RichFaces, JSF and Facelets.

Polyglot JavaServer Faces
It's no secret that languages other than Java are gaining popularity on the Java Virtual Machine. We often hear about how new languages like Groovy, Ruby, or Scala can speed up development and reduce boilerplate code. What isn't always clear is how to apply these languages to JavaServer Faces applications.
Upgrading to JSF 2
Now that JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2.0 is out, what do you do with that recently completed JSF 1.x application? Like most Java standards, JSF 2.0 strives for backwards compatibility. However, if you want to use new features like simpler UI components, new events, Groovy components, or the built-in Facelets support, you will have to perform some upgrade steps.
Martin Marinschek - Committer and PMC member of Apache MyFaces, Trinidad and Tobago

Andy Schwartz - Consulting Member of Technical Staff for Oracle, JSR-314 representative
Component Framework Primer for JSF Users
For each area we will compare and contrast approaches taken by the three frameworks with an eye on understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each solution. We will also consider whether there are opportunities to improve JSF itself based on lessons learned from our comparative analysis. Attendees of this presentation should expect both to gain insight into how new features provided in JSF 2.0 can simplify development, and should come away with a better understanding of how other frameworks have tackled similar problems.
JSF Component Behaviors Deep Dive
The JSF component "behavior" model is a new feature introduced in JSF 2.0 in order to facilitate Ajax support. Component behaviors allow commonly used client-side functionality to be bundled into reusable objects that can be associated with arbitrary components. While the JSF specification currently defines only a single component behavior, the component behavior model is designed for extensibility, allowing anyone to create and share their own component behavior implementations.
JSF 2: Keeping Progress Coming
This presentation will provide an in-depth introduction to many of the new JSF 2.0 features and will ask of each: Is the currently specified solution sufficient? We'll also consider whether other concerns (paper cuts) have been overlooked?
Stan Silvert - JBoss Core Developer with over 20 years of industry experience
Dumping JSF
JSFSpy instruments your JSF application to record everything that happened in multiple requests over multiple sessions. It's similar to being able to see the Facelets error page for all previous requests. The difference is that JSFSpy provides a lot more information, including state transitions of scoped data, performance stats, and a complete dump of the HttpServletRequest.
We'll also talk about how to extend JSFSpy using a new idea called WARlets.
