Presentation: "Three Steps..."
Time:
Wednesday 13:00 - 14:00
Location:

Abstract:
Three steps for turning your Tier-Based/Spring-Application into
dynamically Scalable Services (without Web Services):
SOA is an overused acronym utilized in many different contexts to make
promises for a bigger and brighter future following a SOA route. These
promises are made with very little focus on providing a clear
understanding of this path. Exactly how can one take an existing
stateful tier based application and move it to this new style of
scale-out services model?
In this presentation we will present a three steps approach to that
challenge that will focus on minimal and effective migration path
between the two models. We will achieve this by demonstrating how to
keep the existing programming model the same while focusing on
abstracting and replacing the underlying implementations of the
middleware stack in a way that will fit the scale-out model. In this way
the transition from existing tier based approach becomes significantly
simpler and intuitive. We will use Spring and OpenSpaces as the core
abstraction platform. For users familiar with Spring the transition is
even smoother.
