W-JAX Day Zero - Java EE 6 Workshop, 110 Attendees or Building A Ticketing System

It was a nice workshop and experiment. I prepared four slides, showed two and spent the rest of the time implementing an application suggested by one of the attendee - a Ticketing System (he had to build it afterwards in a real world project).
We covered CDI with some corner cases (building plugins, replacing JMS, qualifiers, stereotypes, configuration), EJB 3.1, unit tested and mocked out some EJB 3.1 without interfaces, Interceptors, JPA, Bean Validation, a bit JSF 2, discussed / implemented some REST applications and tested the load (3000 transactions / second for a GET-REST and two chained EJB 3.1). We focussed more on "best practices", design and architectures.

I really enjoyed this workshop - it was a very interactive crowd.

I used plain NetBeans 7m2 (Java) and Glassfish v3.0.1 - without any preparation or configuration. Everything would also work perfectly with NetBeans 6.9.1 as well.

Few times I showed samples (like DAO) from the javaee-patterns project.

Comments:

Thanks for the great talk. Using Netbeans instead of boring slides is great. I had great fun. Your other talks were also great!

@Marek,

the slides should be available for the attendees by the organizer. There were, however, only four of them... :-),

thanks!,

Hi Adam. Please would you specify what was the ticketing system about? I am curious because according to java.dzone description I am perhaps currently working on something similar. :) Thank you.

@Adam
Thanks for your response but I did not attend to this event :) I am really interested in how you build a nice demo of JEE6 as a show. Maybe the organizer will not have anything against sharing those materials :)
thanks !

thanks!

@Vita @Marek,

the ticket system was only an idea suggested by one of the attendees. My intension was to implement a full-stack Java EE 6 application interactively.

The session was not recorded. BUT: see you at devoxx tomorrow!,

thanks for your interests!,

@Adam
maybe you can record next session you will deliver and then share it with the source code ?
