Date: Fri, 7 Jun 2002 12:36:31 -0400 From: Eric Thoman Subject: Manchester Java User's Group Meeting Wed, June 12 on J2EE at Southern New Hampshire University TOPIC: J2EE has long been the platform of choice for server side Internet applications. With the emerging trend towards web services, J2EE platform has equipped itself with standard APIs and features that would allow exposing J2EE components as web services using standard protocols. This session explores these new Web Services related additions mainly JAX-RPC (Java API for XML RPC), JAX-M (Java API for XML Messaging) and JAX-R (Java API for XML Registries), to the J2EE platform. The session also talks about the upcoming J2EE 1.4 platform and its inherent support for Web Services. Finally the session would demonstrate briefly JWSDP (Java Web Services Developer Pack), which consists of reference implementations of the Web Services APIs in the J2EE platform. BIO: Sang Shin is presently working for Sun Microsystems as a Java(tm) Technology Evangelist and Technology Architecture consultant. He is currently based in Boston area and his duties include evangelizing and consulting on important Java technologies such as Jini(tm) Network Technology, J2EE, EJB, JMS, J2ME, "Java and XML", and Web services technologies such as Sun ONE architecture, ebXML, WSDL, SOAP, UDDI to worldwide developer audience. He frequently talks on these topics in various technical conferences. (Please check his schedule of 2001 and 2002 .) Sang Shin has been with Sun Microsystems over 13 years working in various research and engineering projects mostly in data communication, networking, internet, and Java related areas. Prior to Sun, he worked in several startup companies in various engineering and managerial capacities. Whenever he finds time, he also teaches one of the three software engineering courses ("XML" , "Distributed programming using Jini networking technology" , "Web Services programming using XML and Java programming language") in Brandeis university in Massachusetts. This should be a very interesting talk on J2EE. Hope to see you there. ------------------------------------------------- -----------Meeting Location Change--------------- ------------------------------------------------- This meeting will be held at: Southern New Hampshire University Walker Auditorium room RF-104 2500 North River Rd Manchester, NH 03106 603-668-2211 Directions to the Walker Auditorium at the Southern New Hampshire University: http://www.manjug.org/WalkerDirections.html -------------------------------------------------- -------------Other Announcements------------------ -------------------------------------------------- -----------Open Source Developers----------------- ---ManJUG members team up to offer development---- -------------------------------------------------- Some of the engineers in the ManJUG have teamed up to offer java development and consulting services using Open Source servers. With many companies cutting back on expenses, the open source alternative for software costs has become quite real. Companies can realize substantial cost savings by using 'free' servers with Open Source developers. Please feel free to contact Eric Thoman at jugman@manjug.org for more details. -------------------------------------------------- -----------EJB Courses in Bedford----------------- -------------------------------------------------- There will be courses offered at Microsmart in Bedford on EJB. Details soon to be announced. ManJUG members will receive up to a $400 dollar discount.
