Maven is a very powerful tool that takes care of many reoccuring tasks. Instead of writing a build script for your project, you simply describe the project (location of sources, documentation and unit tests; library dependencies etc). Based on this description Maven provides a variety of tasks - including web site generation with metrics about your source and results of unit tests. This session gives an introduction into Maven and it's possibilites. At the end of the session, you will know under which circumstances using Maven increases your productivity and when other build tools might be better suited.

Finally, the remainder of the tutorial will describe most of the features of XSLT, including recursive use of named templates, sorting, grouping, combining multiple documents, and extension functions. This tutorial has been taught at several past conferences and never fails to leave students with a much deeper understanding of how XPath and XSLT work, drastically reducing future debugging time. Outline: - Hello World! - The Big Picture - Review of XPath Specification - XPath Exercises - Review of XSLT Specification - XSLT Exercises - The Movie XML Files – the grand example - Groups in XSLT 1.0 - Using Apache Xalan - XSLT 2.0 - Review END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20050719T100000 DTEND:20050719T130000 SUMMARY:DE1343: Developing Applications and Extensions of Axis2 - Eran Chinthaka Chathura Herath UID:DE1343 DESCRIPTION: The Axis2 project is the successor of the Axis SOAP project. Going forward from the highly influential Axis project, Axis2 aims to become the new gold standard for SOAP stacks. The architecture of Axis2 is highly flexible and supports much additional functionality compared to Axis. Axis2 is built around an XML object model called AXIOM. AXIOM provides a JDOM-like simple API with the underlying structures build on a deferred model via a StAX-based pull parsing API. Additionally AXIOM allows one to stop building the object model and to directly access the underlying parse stream. The architecture of Axis2 supports convenient integration of Web services protocol implementations such as Apache WSS4J and Sandesha. While Axis2 attempts to preserve as many concepts of Axis as possible, due to the radical architecture of Axis2, there are many changes. In this tutorial we will briefly discuss the architecture and then discuss how services can be implemented or invoked using Axis2. Examples of handlers and modules will also be given to explain the pluggable architecture of Axis2.

The Spring Framework is a "lightweight" container based on the principles of Inversion of Control and Dependency Injection that aims to reduce the complexity of developing enterprise Java applications. The presentation will focus on how Cocoon and Spring can be used together to provide a powerful web application development. It will demonstrate the usage of best practices (separation of concerns, layering, testability, etc.) and of patterns of enterprise application architecture (Application Controller, Domain Model, Lazy Load, Serialized LOB, Service Layer, Two Step View, Optimistic Locking, etc.) in the context of real-world applications. Using a hands-on approach, it will introduce the following techniques: - Finding and invoking Spring-managed services from Cocoon. - Using Aspect Oriented Programming to provide transparency and declarative transaction management. - Using Object-Relational mappers to bridge the O-R gap. - Streamlining the control flow of web applications with Cocoon's continuation-based Flowscript. - Implementing rich web forms with Cocoon Forms. In the end, we aim to demonstrate how the development of Java enterprise web applications can be made simpler and more effective with the right combination of patterns and Open Source tools.

In this project, it was enhanced with search by location functionality. We implemented real-time polygon visualization of manually entered coordinates. Open source components were used to enhance significantly the functionality of a standard map server. It has been our strategy to assemble off-the-shelf products with open source components in order to realize top-notch integration solutions for tight-budgeted projects. The EOPI Platform enhancement is yet another case study for this strategy: We show how we realized the geographic search capabilites using a standard mid-range map server product. We outline the way we met customer requirements by adding high-end functionality to the used product by integrating open source components. Finally, we would like to broaden the scope and show potentials and limitations of our assembling strategy to meet todays customer demands.

Recently, that trickle has become a geyser as the Apache Software Foundation, Samba and many others have taken the Subversion plunge. Those leading the way in this migration have discovered that it's easy to get lost in the technical details of converting to a new tool, especially one as important as a version control system, while neglecting the needs of the team using the tool. Converting your repository itself is only a small part of the process of converting your team to Subversion. Without careful planning, preparation, education, and managing expectations, you could wind up losing productivity, your team's trust, or--if you really foul it up--your job. This talk will review best practices for migrating to Subversion based on case studies of teams that have already made the switch.

The project started with a face to face meeting held in Colombo, Sri Lanka and released the first milestone in February 2005. Our goal is to release v1.0 of Axis2 by August. Axis2 is centered around a high performance object model called AXIOM and is designed to be a very flexible SOAP engine that supports document-oriented, asynchronous communications as well as traditional RPC-style interactions.

It is suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search, especially cross-platform. Meanwhile there are hundreds of web sites and products that implement their search functionality with Lucene. Lucene has recently migrated from Apache's Jakarta project to an Apache top-level project in order to become a common platform for the increasing and very vital community of open source products developed around Lucene (e.g. Lucene implementations in other languages). The talk will give an introduction to Lucene giving simple examples how to get documents into an index and how to search for them. It will also include: converting binary formats (including databases) to text so Lucene can handle them, normalizing/analyzing text before it is put into the index, query types and their syntax (phrase query, fuzzy query etc.), relevance ranking, common problems and their solutions, recent enhancements to Lucene, and a short presentation of Open Source projects around Lucene that make Lucene even more useful.

How do you decide where to use open source? How do you manage architectural investments in open source tools? How do you get the most out of your decision to use open source? How do you manage the project risk involved with open source? These are all questions at the intersection of business and development -- and involve factors important to both sides of that intersection. On one hand open source tools have changed the face of development, on the other hand relying on, and even building architectures around, tools and libraries over which you have no control is a risk which needs to be recognized. Learn how to evaluate open source projects, classify your development effort's usage of open source libraries and frameworks, manage the risk associated with open source, and get the most out of the tools you decide to use.

We recently overhauled many aspects of the site; most obviously, from a reader's point of view, we tweaked the site's design, and also switched from old-style HTML to modern standards-oriented HTML and CSS. This talk offers a case study of how The Register uses Apache HTTPD to serve web pages while balancing conflicting requirements. We have to handle dozens of requests per second efficiently and with low latency. But we also need site maintenance to be flexible: testing and deploying changes to the design must be both easy, and low in overhead. Our solution relies on serving predominantly static pages; this meets our efficiency requirements. But generating the entire site purely as static data would make it too difficult to change aspects of the design (such as selection and positioning of adverts) on the fly. Our approach is to use server-side includes (SSIs) for the design-related fragments of our pages. We also have a scheme of cascading mod_rewrite rules to simplify maintenance of the SSI fragments. We can customize each fragment of the site design on a per-section basis, and if a particular fragment isn't customized in a given subsection, the one for the relevant parent section is automatically used instead. As our requirements have grown since the original deployment of this system in April 2004, we've sought convenient and powerful ways to implement new features. This talk covers several for which mod_rewrite has been a natural fit. We find ourselves quite surprised at how much of The Register's business logic is now implemented as mod_rewrite rules.

The lack of standards prompted web service framework vendors to develop their own component model. Programming web service required developers to learn and then lock themselves into a vendor's tools. The release of the J2EE 1.4 specification changed the landscape by offering the first standard component model for Java web services and client applications. Still, not many application servers were available in 2004 that supported the standards. Developers wanting to use the new standards were aided this year and in late 2004 by the release of three open source J2EE 1.4 application servers. Developers now have a choice between JBoss, JOnAS and Geronimo, as well as a handful of commercial servers, that all support the new web service specifications. This presentation focuses on introducing Java developers to the J2EE 1.4 web service component model and how standards-based web services can be deployed on the Apache Geronimo J2EE server. The presentation will show how to develop servlet- and EJB-based web services that comply with the Java web services specifications (JAX-RPC 1.1 and WSEE 1.1) and show three techniques for writing standards-based web service client applications. The presentation also will demonstrate how a properly written web service can be deployed with no code changes on two additional open source application servers: JOnAS and JBoss. With open source standards and open source servers, developers can now write web services with no up-front cost and with no vendor lock-in.

A set of often used techniques that will help you to get your server up and running as soon as possible. Where should you start looking in case of an error, and how do you get the information you need to determine what went wrong.

    When a request is made to your Apache Web server, Apache goes through several steps to figure out what content it is going to give you in response. This talk focuses on three aspects of this process:

    Other aspects of URL mapping include Alias, ScriptAlias, Location, ErrorDocuments, and Redirect directives, which will be covered in passing on our way to the other topics.

PHP time handling - Derick Rethans UID:DE1242 DESCRIPTION: The title says it all ... but is the question that easy to answer? Unfortunately it is not, as time is not the same all over the world. There are differences with the representation of dates and times, timezones and daylight savings time, and people might even use a whole different calender. PHP 5.1 introduces new advanced date and time handling functionality that allows a developer to use dates and times in an inituitive and powerful way. This session covers all the new functionality and features, and also comes with a small introduction of the theory behind the new date handling core in PHP. Keywords are: timezone handling, calculation timespans, manipulating time (but not space) and parsing many different date formats.

Authentication and Authorization has been refactored, allowing combinations that were previously impossible. Improvements in HTTP Caching and the new Event MPM can provide even better performance. The Proxy modules have been revamped, and now support Load Balancing and native Tomcat/AJP Proxying. mod_ssl added support for TLS Upgrade within HTTP and a builtin distributed SSL Session Cache.

When memory is getting low and your system is grinding to a halt throwing more hardware at the problem might make it go away. This session describes what is currently possible and what is needed to set up a redundant SpamAssassin. It will also shortly touch on the subject of remote learning/training and what will be possible with the upcoming version 3.1.

    1. Conceptual overview, the API, structs, hooks. Introduce the httpd main objects (request_rec, server_rec, conn_rec), scope and lifetime. Show the request processing cycle and module hooks with reference to the request_rec. Introduce the filter axis, and the content generator vs filter question
    2. APR and MPMs: pools, platform-independence, utils Introduce the APR and MPMs. Demonstrate APR usage for platform-independence. Resource management (pools). Overview of APR and APU scope.
    3. A first module: Take a CGI script and reimplement it as a module:
      • Using the request_rec to get vars
      • I/O in Apache
      • Hooking it in
    4. Writing a Content Filter
      • The filter_rec
      • I/O: pull (input) vs push (output)
      • Buckets and Brigades - the difficult bit
      • Dealing with I/O pipelining
      • httpd 2.1+ smart filtering
    5. Metadata and Execution Path
      • Phases of request processing
      • Diverting a request: subrequests, internal redirects, errordocs.
      • The 2.1+ Authn/Authz framework
    6. Configuration and Data Management
      • The config vectors
      • Per-server and Per-dir config
      • Lifetime and safe usage. Per-request and connection recs
      • Implementing configuration directives in a module

It uses the syntax of TAL from the Zope Project and its Zope Page Templates as base, but extends it with some XPath/XSLT specific extensions. XSLTAL runs with any XSLT processor and doesn't need special additional libraries. It therefore can be easily integrated into an already XSLT based project. This session will show how XSLTAL works, where it can be used and, most importantly, how to use it (different examples for using it within Cocoon, PHP and JavaScript will be shown) and how it can help making your project easier to maintain for technically less skilled users.
