• AntiPatterns using select Jakarta Projects by Bill Dudney   - [Clicks: 84]
  This presentation is on Pitfalls in using selected software from the Jakarta project. One or more refactorings are presented as a means to get out of each Pitfall. Pitfalls for Struts, Ant and Cactus will be presented. Each Pitfall is presented with practical information about how to recognize it, what will likely happen if the Pitfall is not address and how developers get caught in the Pitfall in the first place. Next an example of code stuck in the Pitfall will be presented which will provide the segue into the Refactoring(s) that provide the way out of the Pitfall. The refactoring will focus on taking the Pitfall example through the mechanism of the Refactoring step by step until the Pitfall is gone.

• Unit Testing J2EE applications by Vincent Massol   - [Clicks: 182]
  This session will start by explaining why we need unit tests by putting them in perspective with Agile development and Continuous Integration practices. We will then cover the different strategies for unit testing J2EE components (Servlets/Filters/Taglibs/JSPs/EJBs/Database access): Mock Objects and In-container testing with Cactus. We will discuss the pros and cons of each approach and propose strategies to decide when to use one or the other. The session will include demos. We will finish by demonstrating how to unit test J2EE components using Cactus and Aspect-Oriented Programming.
