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

We proudly announce our very first event and we’d like you to be part of it!

The event will take place the 7th of November from 17.00 till 20.00. Two speakers have already confirmed: Kris Verlaenen from the JBoss Drools project and Nicolas Leroux of Lunatech Research. We’re also working on getting a third speaker about JBoss AS 5. More information on this if we get confirmation from JBoss. After the talks, there is time for discussions and networking accompanied by free drinks and food.

Kris Verlaenen is the lead developer of the Drools Flow project. He will show us what the JBoss rules engine is all about and deliver us insight into new and exciting features. Besides a tour through Drools, Kris will give us an in-depth view on Drools Flow.

Nicolas Leroux is a software developer at Lunatech Research, based in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. He has many years of experience building Java EE applications for corporate and government IT projects using open-source libraries and agile methods, and recently organised a Benelux JBoss User Group event.  His presentation aims to show you the latest development methods using Java EE, the JBoss Seam framework, Hibernate Validation, Hibernate Search, JAXB, RESTful web services, etc.
