Hello Everyone,

The March meeting of the Orlando Java Users Group is Tuesday, March 23 at DeVry University. Note this meeting is on a Tuesday night not our normal Thursday. Mark your calendars and spread the word! Our meetings are open to anyone interested in Java. Please rsvp by email to rsvp@orlandojug.org if you plan on attending. Here are the details.

Presentation: The Spring J2EE Application Framework , http://www.springframework.org
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith Donald will be presenting on the Spring Framework. He recently joined the Spring team as a developer this past month. Spring is an open-source J2EE application framework that emphasizes the important principal of programming to POJO (plain-old-java-object) interfaces. Spring consists of a core Inversion-of-Control (IoC) container that provides a elegant, centralized way for configuring an application and wiring up service dependencies. Spring also provides an Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) framework for decorating services with cross-cutting aspects (for example, enabling declarative transaction management, security, or logging.) Finally, Spring provides a rich library of support classes that help make J2EE easier to use and facilitate integration with existing best-of-breed J2EE solutions.

Keith will highlight the core capabilities of Spring and talk about why there's so much hype around IoC (Inversion of Control) these days. He'll briefly cover how Spring integrates with other J2EE technologies, including Struts, Hibernate, and EJB. He'll also talk about where Spring is headed next, and how many are using it today as a replacement for EJB.

Speaker: Keith Donald, Computer Science Innovations (CSI)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Keith is a software architect with Computer Science Innovations (CSI) in Melbourne Florida. Currently he is the lead developer on a team responsible for building information assurance systems (with emphasis on the areas of network-based intrusion detection and security auditing.) The Spring Framework, JMX, Hibernate, and Eclipse are four emerging java technologies that his team works frequently with. Before CSI, Keith worked for Harris Communication's Network Support division as a Software Developer in their NetBoss product group. He graduated from the University of Alabama in May 2000 with a B.S degree in Management Information Systems.
