“The Java EE platform is getting an extreme makeover with the upcoming version Java EE 6. It is developed as JSR 316 under the Java Community Process.

The Java EE 6 platform adds more power to the platform and yet make it more flexible so that it can be adopted to different flavors of an application. It breaks the ‘one size fits all’ approach with Profiles and improves on the Java EE 5 developer productivity features. It enables extensibility by embracing open source libraries and frameworks such that they are treated as first class citizens of the platform.

Several new specifications such as Java Server Faces 2.0, Servlet 3.0, Java Persistence API 2.0, and Java Context Dependency Injection 1.0 are included in the platform. All these specifications are implemented in GlassFish v3 that providesa light-weight, modular, and extensible platform for your Web applications.

This session provides an overview of Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3. Using multiple simple-to-understand samples it explains the value proposition provided by Java EE 6. “

Dynamic scripting languages are a powerful addition to a software designer’s toolbox. Rails/Ruby and Python have not gained much acceptance in the enterprise. Grails and Groovy are an attempt to bridge the gap between the modern scripting world and the Enterprise Java world.

This talk is an introduction towards building web applications in Grails. First we will go about creating a REST based webservice. We will also show how to replace the default database backend of Grails with MySQL.

We will then build a web application that consumes this webservice. The emphasis will be on the design patterns and idioms in Grails that address the web application development lifecycle.
