JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform & Additional Technologies
Jim Tyrrell — Senior Solution Architect, Red Hat
Noelle Jakusz — Middleware Solution Architect, Red Hat
Chuck Mosher — Principal Solution Architech, Red Hat
With the recent release of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5, there is a new paradigm around developing portals for the enterprise. In this lab session, attendees will have an opportunity to install JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5, configure and manage the portal, deploy portlets, and access remote content. This lab session offers a hands-on overview and detailed glimpse into the installation, configuration, management, and deployment of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5.
Attendees will also have a chance to use JBoss Developer Studio to create a sample portlet and deploy it to the JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5 environment. By the end of this session, attendees should feel confident in their abilities to run JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform 5 in their own environments.
In addition, attendees can choose one of the following technologies to focus on during the hands-on-lab. Red Hat engineers will be supervising the sessions to guide you through the lab and answer any questions. All of the technologies listed will be offered in each of the JBoss lab breakouts.
JBoss Developer Studio with Seam/Hibernate Fundamentals
Walk through the steps of going from a blank JBoss Developer Studio instance to a working CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) web application in moments. Learn how to test the generated artifacts, change the look and feel, inject security, create new pages, and more.
JBoss Developer Studio with Service Oriented Architecture
Walk though the steps of going from a blank JBoss Developer Studio instances to various artifacts needed for development and deployment onto JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform. Explore how to complete content transformations, expose web services, consume/test web services via SOAP-UI, create custom actions, and learn about the various components of the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform.
Clustering Setup with JBoss Enterprise Middleware
Learn how to use mod_jk/mod_cluster, Apache and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform to setup a robust cluster of JBoss instances. Explore various configuration options for each of the layers (Apache HTTPD, mod_jk/mod_cluster, and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
JBoss Operations Network Setup and Management of JBoss
Learn how to setup JBoss Operations Network Server and Agents to monitor running JBoss Enterprise Application Server instances on the network. Explore the GUI to learn its features and functions, setup alerts based on statistics reported to JBoss Operations Network, explore how to configure group wise actions, and learn other tips and tricks while using JBoss Operations Network.
Business Rules Management System Hands-On
Explore the Business Rules Management System to learn how to create decision tables, domain specific language artifacts, test cases, packages, and more while also exploring how JBoss BRMS can streamline tasks for business analysts. Typically business rules are coded into Java requiring extensive time, money, and effort to make even simple changes to the flow of an application. Learn how the BRMS can greatly speed up time-to-market.
JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform Hands-On
Explore JBoss Enterprise Data Services platform to learn how to integrate various disparate data sources (XML, relational, and others) into a unified view of data giving you a single source of truth. In this lab, explore how to setup the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform for different data feeds, including databases, flat files, XML, and web services, and learn how to provide a unified schema/view of the data.
Cloud Computing with Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon EC2
Chris Morgan — Senior Product Manager, Red Hat
Jason Dobies — Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
Cloud computing is fast becoming a core component of both Web and enterprise IT infrastructure architectures. With Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon EC2, you are able to experience both the dynamic scalability of the Amazon EC2 cloud combined with the enterprise stability and security of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Presented by Red Hat and sponsored by Amazon Web Services, this lab tutorial will walk participants through a complete lifecycle process of setting up Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Amazon EC2, accessing running images, and terminating those instances using both Red Hat and Amazon tools.
Thursday
Seam: Speed up AJAX Application Development & More
Noelle Jakusz — Middleware Solution Architect, Red Hat
Jim Tyrrell — Senior Solution Architect, Red Hat
Chuck Mosher — Principal Solution Architech, Red Hat
Bring your own computer and install a full working copy of JBoss Developer Studio 3.0 and JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 5.0. Use this package to quickly reverse engineer a schema into a CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) application. From this base, explore the rich palette of Rich Faces components, creating custom pages in moments. Learn how to create Ajax Paging Artifacts, explore the Google Maps component, include your own custom POJOs, and much more.
In addition, choose one of the following technologies to focus on during the hands-on-lab. Red Hat engineers will be supervising the sessions to guide you through the lab and answer any questions. All of the technologies listed will be offered in each of the JBoss lab breakouts.

Hands-On with C/C++ Eclipse IDE
Andrew Overholt — Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
In this lab, Andrew Overholt will introduce attendees to Eclipse technology and guide them through focused use cases, illustrating how to effectively use the available tools to solve real world problems. He will focus on C, C++, and Java and will include interactions with gcc, gdb, Subversion, Valgrind, OProfile, and Bugzilla. Beginning with a very simple installation of RPMs, attendees will learn how to get up to speed quickly with the powerful combination of the Linux tool set and the Eclipse development environment. Andrew will lead several exercises, including:
- Discovering and fixing source code errors
- Working with breakpoints and data available while debugging
- Finding memory usage problems
- Working with patches
- Tracking down performance bottlenecks
- Interacting with Bugzilla
