Terracotta speaking at Java SIG tonight
posted by ari
Ari will be speaking at the East Bay Java SIG tonight on "Injecting enterprise quality of services into applications transparently at runtime." Here is the abstact:
The modern enterprise development community has come to accept that many operational aspects of enterprise systems should not be explicitly handled by developer code. A decade ago, mundane tasks such as garbage collection and thread management were handled manually by developers; the code for these operational services mingled with developers' business logic and became an unending source of bugs. With recent advances in virtual machine technology, however, a general consensus has emerged that such responsibilities are best left to the underlying runtime environment.
We believe that a similar transformation is now underway with other operational services such as distributed caching. VM technologies have matured to the point where they can now take responsibility for state replication in much the same way they have already taken responsibility for memory management.
This presentation will describe how enterprise qualities of service can be provided as natural extensions of the Java Virtual Machine. We will show that by mapping natural Java language semantics into a distributed environment, business logic can be isolated from so-called "infrastructure logic" such as replication and caching.
Join us for a lively discussion!
