GlassFish at Devoxx 2009

The Devoxx conference is around the corner (in just over a week) and will take place in Antwerp, Belgium as every year, only a bit earlier than usual (December was just too close to the Christmas holidays).

This week-long conference runs as follows: the first two days are 3-hour sessions to go deeper into the technology (they're called University sessions). The regular conference starts on the third day and offers keynotes and 1-hour sessions. Devoxx also has "Tools in actions" (30-minute), "BOFs", Quickies (15-minute), white boards, and more.

First and foremost, the Wednesday Sun and Oracle keynotes should not be missed (or to be watched later on Parleys) :
• Java, the Platform for the Future - Steve Harris (Oracle)
• Java EE 6 and GlassFish V3: Evolution of a Platform - Roberto Chinnici and Ludo Champenois.

But there's a also long list of GlassFish and Sun-related session for this year's session :

University talks :
• Enhancing the JavaServer Faces 2.0 Component Model - Roger Kitain
• SOA, OpenESB and OpenSSO Programming with Passion - Sang Shin
• The Java EE 6 Platform University - Antonio Goncalves, Alexis MP

Sessions:
• JDK7 Update - Mark Reinhold
• The Java EE 6 Platform - Antonio Goncalves

ZFS Adds DeDuplication

Data Deduplication is a big deal, as was shown back in July when EMC spent 2.4B$ to acquire Data Domain. This morning Jeff announced that dedup has been added to ZFS; this has generated quite a bit of buzz in the 'web, although I've yet to see Oracle's stock going up... or Apple changing their mind.

Check Jeff's post and comments; it is a nice read. Also read on disk savings at ZFS-Discuss.

Learn about OpenSSO or Troubleshoot it! - With Firefox

Jim Faut and Rick Palkovic have been posting a nice series on how to troubleshoot OpenSSO with Firefox Add-Ons. They just pushed out two more entries in the series, which now includes:

• Part 1: Introduction
• Part 2: Single Sign-On and Policy Protection
• Part 3: Cross-Domain Single Sign-On
• Part 4: Service Provider Initiated Fedlet Single Sign-On
• Part 5: Identity Provider Initiated Fedlet SSO Fedlet deployment

These articles are worth a check even if you just want to learn about how OpenSSO works: just follow their diagrams to see the exchange of information between the parties that enable these features.

And, on this topic, you may want to track the participation of the OpenSSO team at next week's Internet Identity WorkShop; see Daniel's note.

And Happy Halloween!
