Examining & Increasing Java Application Performance
Omair Majid — Software Engineer, Red Hat
Jonathan VanAlten — Software Engineer, Red Hat
Because Java applications are getting larger and more complex, it’s becoming hard to tell what’s going on across the entire Java and operating system stack. Which threads are taking up all the CPU? What’s using up the memory? How often is the virtual machine pausing to run GC? How do I examine this application in its current environment?
The Thermostat project, recently initiated by Red Hat, is an open source tool that helps developers answer these questions by allowing examination of different aspects of local and remote programs.
In this session, Omair Majid and Jon VanAlten, two Thermostat developers, will demonstrate how to use Thermostat to identify and examine performance-related problems in Java programs. Attendees will also learn how they can extend Thermostat to add new capabilities useful for examining their own applications.

Rethinking Mobile & Web Applications with Errai
Lincoln Baxter III — Senior Software Engineer, Red Hat
Mike Brock — Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
We can’t afford to ignore JavaScript, HTML5, and mobile. They were the hottest trends of 2012 and are only getting bigger. However, JavaScript, which is viewed as the go-to solution for creating web applications that work for both desktop and mobile users, has limitations that can quickly leave teams stranded.
Feeling the burden of maintenance, at the mercy of fast-paced trends, or with little support, you need a solution that offers the rapid prototyping of JavaScript, but can also withstand the harsh reality of larger-scale application development and the maintenance that follows.
With Errai and Errai UI, that solution has arrived. Errai and Errai UI deliver greater productivity, flexibility, and control over pure JavaScript, while maintaining the familiarity of your established Java tools and techniques.
In this session, Lincoln Baxter and Mike Brock will demonstrate how to use native Java syntax in the browser to create fully dynamic, interactive, client or client-server applications using HTML5 templating, data-binding, and other programming models.
Join the session to learn how to:
- Leverage client-side storage and offline data-sync with JPA and Hibernate
- Reuse your domain model in the browser
- Find dependency-injection, REST, and direct remote procedure call (RPC) at your command
- Make your application mobile with Errai Cordova and CSS3 Responsive Layouts

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.

Ruby for the Enterprise with JBoss Torquebox
Jeremy Davis — Middleware Solution Architect, Red Hat
The popularity of the Ruby programming language is growing dramatically. Gartner predicts that 20% of the Global 2000 will use Ruby in application development by 2015. And Indeed.com reports a 5,500% growth of Ruby-related jobs over the past five years.
While this growth is fueled by Ruby on Rails, the revolutionary web framework, there are many challenges to adopting Ruby in the enterprise, including:
- Communicating with legacy applications
- Ruby’s unpredictable performance
- Keeping machines patched
JBoss Torquebox and jRuby solve these problems. JBoss Torquebox leverages the innovative class loading in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6 to bring Ruby to the application server. And it does so in a way that both Rubyists and Java developers can understand.
In this session, attendees will gain the productivity of Ruby without losing their existing development assets or incurring the wrath of your operations team. This session goes from command line to a working enterprise application—using business rules, workflow, messaging, and full-text search in the process.
Attendees will build a human resources application using:
- Ruby on Rails for the web interface
- Red Hat JBoss BRMS for evaluating applicants
- jBPM 5 to orchestrate the hiring process
- JMS to integrate with external systems
- Hibernate Search for full text search of candidates’ resumes

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.
