Speaking at JavaOne 2010
Paul Evans and I will be speaking at this year's JavaOne conference in San Francisco. We haven't spoken at the conference in several years and are excited to have the opportunity to share some of our experiences with the attendees. As always we are looking forward to hearing what others are doing with all of the cool and evolving Java-based technologies. I am also curious to hear about the future plans for Java now that Oracle has taken the reins.
Our topic is "Building an Order Checkout JAX-WS web service with JBoss Drools BRE Integration". I'll update this entry once the date and time is set. We will be presenting a design and implementation of a fictional checkout web service for processing book orders. The web service will be designed and built using the JAX-WS stack and will integrate with the JBoss Drools business rule engine (BRE) using JSR-94. The Drools BRE will contain the actual business rules of processing the checkout of a book order. This should be a great session for people looking for examples of rule engine integration within Java-based applications. After the conference we will make the demonstration source code available for people that would like to dig into the implementation.
