Upcoming Talk at AjaxWorld East - Saving Your Investment: Transforming J2EE Applications into Web 2.0 Using GWT

Dietrich Kappe, Friday, March 14, 2008 @ 2:39 pm

For those of you interested, I'll be speaking at the AjaxWorld East 2008 conference in New York. I'll be looking at the messy underbelly of converting an old Web 1.0 application into a Web 2.0 powerhouse using GWT. From the conference blurb

The pressure is on to keep pace with Web 2.0 entrants into the marketplace. Rewriting is expensive; adding AJAX widgets results in a complex, unmaintainable application. Both require you to hire scarce JavaScript developers. Google Web Toolkit - the SDK that allows you to write AJAX interfaces in Java - enables your Java developers to layer a desktop-like interface on top of your web app. Learn to analyze the service profile of your application, to change HTML views into XML or JSON services, and to resist opening security holes by putting state and control flow logic into the client.

That's right, I've got 45 minutes to describe GWT, run through the steps for analyzing an existing webapp, give a quick demo, then talk about security and other concerns. No sweat.
