Build a RESTful Client-Server Rich Internet Application with JavaFX Technology and Jersey (JSR 310)

Rich Internet Applications (RIA) do require a strong service access and data access layer located on the back-end, just as traditional or web based applications. It is therefore essential to combine desktop technologies and server technologies in order to provide fast, efficient and secure access to your data. This talk will teach how to combine desktop technologies, such as JavaFX technologies, and back-end technologies, like web services and REST based services to build state of the art desktop applications. We will use the following technologies: RESTful web service and JSR 310 (Jersey) API on the server side, JavaFX on the client side. The JavaFX application will asynchronously poll RESTful web services to collect data that will be used to dynamically update the client rich UI.

Hands-On Training

After the 1st halftime, Sébastien proposes a hands-on training. Everyone is invited to bring long their laptop with Netbeans 6.91, Glassfish and JavaFX installed. If wished, we can make teams of 2-3 persons. Every team will develop simple application doing JavaFX – REST – Java EE. Sébastien will walk around, help and discuss.

So please don’t forget your laptop, and if you have a multi-outlet power strip at hand, we don’t mind neither

Let’s do JavaFX from the zero to hero in one evening
