Presentation:

NoSQL promises high potential and innovative features in new generation applications but the barrier of entry is high.

Hibernate OGM proposes to simplify the programming model by embracing JPA/Hibernate APIs and semantics to store data in NoSQL stores like JBoss Enterprise Data Grid instead of the traditional RDBMS.

Come see what this is all about, the status of the project and which type of NoSQL engines are supported.

In this presentation, we will:

  • see an overview of the (No)SQL landscape and how a JPA front end can fit some interesting use cases
  • explore how to store entities and associations into a key/value store and what compromise has to be made
  • see how one can implement JP-QL queries on top of a non queryable technology (like key/value store)
  • see how various NoSQL engines are supported by Hibernate OGM

We will use a live demo to discover how to convert an existing JPA application to Hibernate OGM and a NoSQL store. We will dploy it to OpenShift, Red Hat PaaS offering.

Who should attend?

Anyone interested in JBoss!

What is Hibernate?

Hibernate is a high-performance Object/Relational persistence and query service. The most flexible and powerful Object/Relational solution on the market, Hibernate takes care of the mapping from Java classes to database tables and from Java data types to SQL data types. It provides data query and retrieval facilities that significantly reduce development time. Hibernate's design goal is to relieve the developer from 95% of common data persistence-related programming tasks by eliminating the need for manual, hand-crafted data processing using SQL and JDBC. However, unlike many other persistence solutions, Hibernate does not hide the power of SQL from you and guarantees that your investment in relational technology and knowledge is as valid as always.

JBoss AS7 Hackathon

 

August JBUG is devoted to JBoss 7. Again! There’s lots of hype, tweets, blogs and videos but is it any good? We aim to find out by hosting a hackathon to get to grips with JBoss 7.

 

How?

The idea is simple: we get a bunch of people in a room, fire up a bunch of EC2 instances and we try out JBoss 7 together.

  • No Presentations
  • No Marketing
  • No Vendor Hype
  • No Agenda

Just JBoss 7, Amazon, your laptop and you. And probably a lot of head scratching! MC’d by an experienced JBoss consultant we will get JBoss 7 running and see what it can do.

The number of places for this event is limited so register now (the form is below) to secure your place!

 

Some things we might try (although it’s up to you):

  • Get it running
  • Mess with some JEE6 features
  • Build a big cluster
  • Try out the new Domain mode and run server’s on each other’s laptops
  • See if it’s as fast as it claims to be
  • Or just eat pizza and drink beer and laugh at the chaos

The possibilities are endless!

When?

Tuesday, 30th August, 2011

Event starts at 5pm and will end around 7-8pm with some pizza, beers and networking.
