+
+    Web 2.0 took the internet world by storm. Especially attackers
+    welcome the new possibilities created by Ajax, the increased use
+    of JavaScript, opening up applications via web services, and user
+    generated content. This session shows common pitfalls with modern
+    "Web 2.0" applications and help you to avoid becoming the next
+    victim on the ever-growing list. Web security has not changed that
+    much, but web applications have. Ajax introduced new and dangerous
+    attacks, and it is vital to know appropriate countermeasures. Come
+    to this (technology-agnostic) session to learn best practices for
+    state-of-the-art websites.

+  talk will discuss best practices and anti-patterns for retiring an
+  open source project, including tips on how to ease the pain of

+
+  You come to work on Monday morning to learn that your company is
+  adopting this new version of Struts. At first you are excited to
+  learn a modern web framework but you have also heard it is quite
+  different from Struts Classic. What does this mean for your career?
+  What if you are no longer the person everyone calls the Struts guru?
+  How do you quickly become the Struts 2 expert you know you can be?
+  Luckily, you have already taken the first step by attending Java
+  One!  With Struts being the most popular Java web framework in the
+  industry today, IT shops are excited to hit the ground running with
+  this next generation web framework. This session will provide a
+  primer for Struts Classic developers needing a Struts 2 head
+  start. We will compare and contrast Struts 2 to its predecessor and
+  highlight the areas where Struts 2 breaks away from the past and
+  blazes new trails into Ajax, validations, plug-in architecture and
+  the interceptor architecture that allow nearly infinite
+  flexibility. This session will transition your expert status to the
+  new Struts before anyone realizes your confidence was ever shaken! A
+  complete reference application will be made available to the
+  participant in order to become effective in minutes not days.

+    The revered Enterprise Integration Patterns (EIP) book is

+    utilizing these patterns in your own code can be tedious,
+    especially if you have to write the code from scratch every
+    time. Wouldn't it be nice if you had a simple API for these
+    patterns that makes this easier? Enter Apache Camel, a message
+    routing and mediation engine that provides a POJO-based
+    implementation of the EIP patterns and a wonderfully simple Domain
+    Specific Language (DSL) for expressing message routes.  This
+    session will introduce and demonstrate the power of Camel. So go

+    WebDAV - Distributed Authoring and Versioning - provides a
+    compelling replacement for FTP and other networked file systems,
+    and is becoming very common in operating systems and
+    applications. Learn how to configure your Apache Web Server to
+    host DAV repositories, and how to use end-user applications to use
+    those repositories. We'll talk about various popular DAV-based
+    applications such as iCal and Sunbird (Calendaring), Subversion
+    (Revision control), and various web development packages that use
+    DAV as their file transfer method. This talk is geared to the
+    beginner or intermediate user who is somewhat familiar with the
+    Apache httpd configuration files.

+  Lucene. This session will introduce these frameworks and explain how
+  they depend on each other.  It will briefly explain how they handle
+  search queries / data storage and outline the strengths and
+  weaknesses of each.  Tips and tricks will be plentiful. Lastly, it
+  will provide attendees with a sample application that uses both

+    full-text searching of structured data without needing to write
+    any custom code. We will demonstrate various built-in features
+    such as: loading data from CSV files, tolerant parsing of user

+    and retrieving search results in a variety of formats (XML, JSON,
+    etc....) We will also look at using Solr's Administrative

+    they do against different searches. No previous Solr experience is

+    by plugins to automatically seek out relevant information and
+    invoke arbitrary business logic. If a project needs special
+    processing for a crawled url the developer can easily write a
+    plugin to implement the functionality. The project started as an

+    HttpComponents as mentoring project. Apache Nutch is another
+    famous robot on Apache but for some use cases just too specific,

+
+  Groovy provides excellent facilities for parsing and creating
+  XML. As well as providing syntactic sugar on top of traditional
+  Java-based parsing approaches (e.g. SAX, DOM, StAX), it has its own
+  XmlParser and XmlSlurper libraries which support XPath-like
+  expressions at the object level (akin to LINQ in the .Net world). It
+  also integrates nicely with XPath, XQuery, XSLT as well as with
+  popular XML libraries. Groovy's markup builders provide an elegant
+  and efficient way to create and modify XML.  All these features can
+  work with Apache Xerces or with native XML support on 1.4 through to
+  1.7 JVMs. In addition to its base XML capabilities, Groovy modules
+  exist for doing XML-RPC, REST and SOAP Web Services including RSS,
+  ATOM and other popular XML dialects. Groovy-WS is based on Apache
+  CXF and provides a simple and elegant way to create Web Services
+  without the need for worrying about stubs.

+
+    Intrusion detection is a well-known network security technique --
+    it introduces monitoring and correlation devices to networks,
+    enabling administrators to monitor events and detect attacks and
+    anomalies in real-time. Web intrusion detection does the same but
+    it works on the HTTP level, making it suitable to deal with
+    security issues in web applications.  This session will start with
+    an overview of web intrusion detection and web application
+    firewalls, discussing where they belong in the overall protection
+    strategy. The second part of the talk will discuss ModSecurity and
+    its capabilities.  ModSecurity is an open source web application
+    firewall that can be deployed either embedded (in the Apache HTTP
+    server) or as a network gateway (as part of a reverse proxy
+    deployment).  Now in it's fifth year of development, ModSecurity
+    is mature, robust and flexible. Due to its popularity and wide
+    usage it is now positioned as a de-facto standard in the web
+    intrusion detection space.

+
+    Apache Maven is a powerful and extensible tool for managing

+    presentation will focus on identifying the best practices when
+    using Maven and it's related technologies, and the pitfalls to

+
+    Apache Tika is an extensible content analysis toolkit designed for
+    detecting and extracting metadata and structured text content from
+    a large number of document formats. It represents an higher level
+    layer over existing parser libraries. World-class content
+    management systems, and most of all enterprise document management
+    focused ones, always have to face the challenge of detecting,
+    extracting and indexing as more various media content types as
+    possible. This session provides a technical presentation on how
+    you can integrate Tika inside an Enterprise Document Management
+    System, in order to centralize media type detection implementation
+    and leverage dedicated parsers behind a common extraction layer.
+    Partecipants will also learn how Tika is integrated with Lucene in
+    order to provide high performance document indexing and searching
+    features. As a real life demostration, the most recent supported
+    media types, Office Open XML (OOXML), will be detected, extracted
+    and indexed.

+
+  Tuscany is an Apache Incubator project providing support for
+  building SOA-based application networks. It is based on the Service
+  Component Architecture specifications being defined by the OASIS
+  Open SCA Collaboration. Felix is an Apache project providing an
+  implementation of the Java modularity and service technology defined
+  by the OSGi Alliance. Tuscany was built with a modular architecture,
+  using a different approach from that of OSGi. In 2007 an effort was
+  started to integrate Tuscany with OSGi. As part of this we undertook
+  an investigation into how to apply OSGi modularity to the Tuscany
+  runtime to enable its execution within an OSGi Framework. This
+  involved analyzing the existing Tuscany modularity which turned up
+  lots of interesting information about the linkages between the
+  various sub-components. This understanding was then used to
+  determine how to map Tuscany into a suitable form for use as OSGi
+  bundles, including prototyping various levels of decomposition
+  granularity. This presentation will share the experiences of
+  analyzing and modularizing an existing project using OSGi.  It will
+  discuss what to expect when approaching modularizing existing
+  projects, the tools for aiding analysis and best practices for
+  applying OSGi modularity.

+    deployment of multiple servers, configuration of firewall
+    “demilitarized zones” and judicious use of SSL encryption. How do
+    you deploy an off-the-shelf application that insists on writing to

+
+    This lecture will give you a short introduction of what
+    "dependency management" is, what are the different approaches for
+    a dependency management, what is the history of Ivy and last but
+    not least, how you can benefit from using Ivy. The presentation I
+    am about to prepare will be divided into 4 main parts. The target
+    group of the following presentation is supposed to have little or
+    no experience with Ivy. Although, it is a good point to have some
+    experience with Ant and Maven, it in not a necessity. The first
+    part is the "introductory" part. Here I will start by explaining
+    what the build lifecycle is and what are the main problems that
+    arise at build time, so that you can later on see how Ivy really
+    solves these problems. Here I will talk about the concept of
+    "dependency management", and what exactly it is. I think
+    approximately 10 or 15 minutes would be enough. The second part
+    provides with the knowledge details of what are the other
+    solutions for dependency management, and what makes Ivy
+    unique. Also what are the strong and weak sides of Ivy. Again may
+    be 10 or 15 min will be sufficient. The last part would be the
+    most interesting part of all - showing you the Ivy project in
+    action. This time I will grab a certain project and resolve it's
+    dependencies on air with Ivy, showing in real how easy it is, to
+    work with this tool. I will try to cover all the data and
+    knowledge that I have presented in the past two sections in
+    practice. I leave maximum of 15 minutes for this part. As always I
+    will leave 5 or 10 minutes for talk with the audience and
+    questions.
