Securing Applications with PicketLink
Pete Muir — Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Shane Bryzak — Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
Security is the cornerstone of your application’s integrity and, consequently, you need to weave it throughout each layer, often in diverse ways. PicketLink, a JBoss Community project, allows you to evolve the security model of your application over time, keeping pace with the development cycle.
With PicketLink, you can start with a very simple configuration that applies an exclusive security blanket over the application, keeping out guests and establishing a basic identity for the user. You can then gradually mature the security infrastructure by adopting PicketLink’s declarative approach for defining fine-grained authorization rules that enforce contextual restrictions at the level of database records, database fields, object fields, and UI fragments. And PicketLink IDM provides a comprehensive, pluggable identity management solution that enables you to manage your users and roles.
In this session, PicketLink experts will demonstrate how to use PicketLink to secure your web application. They will do so by showcasing TicketMonster, an online ticket broker that provides access to events via an online booking application.

Platform Needs Middleware & Middleware Needs Platform
Brian Likosar — Principal Solution Architect, Red Hat
Joel Tosi — Senior Solution Architect, Red Hat
Java developers and system administrators have the same goal – to deliver value to their customers and their companies. Some of us create the environment, keeping it stable, secure, and performant. While others of us create the software that our users ultimately interact with.
As enterprise Java developers, we write our code and maybe help with some JVM tuning. For the most part, a different person or group is responsible for the platform our code, container, and applications run on. As Java developers, it would be valuable to understand how to better tune, debug, and secure our systems.
As system administrators, we are happy running an operating system… but what’s the deal with these applications running in it? Why does it always seem like Java is leaking memory? What sort of tuning can we do in the operating system to help their applications perform better?
Join this birds of a feather session to get the answers to these questions, as well as discuss message logs, SELinux, iptables, networking, system constraints, and cgroups. This session is designed to have both sides of the environment working together to get a better understanding of tools and concepts that can help us in delivering great solutions.
Location: Room 305
Topics: Development tools, Flexibility, Interoperability, Java development, Manageability, Performance, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Reliability, Scalability

Maven Repository: Best Practices for Easy Migration
Max Rydahl Andersen — Senior Principal Engineer, Red Hat
Red Hat Enterprise Application Platform 6 comes with Maven repository, meaning customers can now easily migrate from JBoss Application Server 7 to Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6. The Maven repository best practices can be used by many Maven-based projects and should be considered as they enable easy upgrades and migrations regardless of using Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform, or Red Hat JBoss Data Grid.
In this session, Max Rydahl Andersen will discuss these best practices and their benefits, as well as:
- How the Maven repository came to be
- What concerns should be address
- How a user can best utilize Maven repository
Location: Room 301
Topics: Development tools, Java development, JBoss Community projects, Red Hat JBoss BRMS, Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Red Hat JBoss Frameworks, Red Hat JBoss Portal Platform, Red Hat JBoss SOA Platform
