Although J2EE is generally accepted as the enterprise platform for the non-proprietary future, its growth suffers from its inherent complexity. As a result, J2EE is often perceived as a technology for big enterprises building large applications, but this does not need to be true. We are happy to see that the Java community is now uniting around a small number of solutions that try to solve this complexity issue, reduce development time, have a much better return-on-investment, and lower the total cost of ownership, in particular the maintenance costs.
A lot of J2EE projects fail because of the complexity of the J2EE framework in general, and of EJB in particular. Although the J2EE API specification offers a standard way for developing distributed enterprise applications, it does not provide all the necessary building blocks. EJB tends to be overly complex and overused; and many J2EE design patterns are not in fact design patterns but workarounds for technology limitations.
Using J2EE "out of the box" is not an attractive option. Many J2EE API's and services are cumbersome to use. J2EE does a great job of standardizing low-level infrastructure (like XA-compliant transaction management) but does not provide an easy way to build, test and deploy your business components and applications.
During the previous seminars that I.T. Works organized in cooperation with JCS and other experts in J2EE and Java, we have always warned for the complexity of the J2EE platform and EJB in particular, and we are happy to see that the Java community is uniting around a small number of solutions that try to solve this complexity issue.
Learn how more and more companies are tackling the limitations of J2EE by using open-source initiatives and have chosen Spring, Hibernate and Struts as the cornerstones for building and successfully delivering J2EE-based projects.
- About the Spring Framework:
- The Spring Framework is an open source application framework that aims to make J2EE development easier. It grew out of the experience of using J2EE without EJB (J2EE Development with EJB – Rod Johnson & Juergen Hoeller). However, unlike Struts, Hibernate and most other frameworks, Spring offers services for use throughout an application, not merely in a single architectural tier. Spring aims to take away much of the pain by simplifying the programming model, rather than concealing complexity behind a complex layer of tools.
- About Hibernate:
- Hibernate is a powerful, ultra-high performance object/relational persistence and query service for Java. Hibernate lets you develop persistent classes following common Java idiom - including association, inheritance, polymorphism, composition and the Java collections framework. The Hibernate Query Language, designed as a "minimal" object-oriented extension to SQL, provides an elegant bridge between the object and relational worlds. Hibernate also allows you to express queries using native SQL or Java-based Criteria and Example queries. Hibernate is now the most popular object/relational mapping solution for Java.
- About Struts:
- The core of the open-source Struts framework is a flexible control layer based on standard technologies like Java Servlets, JavaBeans, ResourceBundles, and XML, as well as various Jakarta Commons packages. Struts encourages application architectures based on the Model 2 approach, a variation of the classic Model-View-Controller (MVC) design paradigm.
Why should you attend this seminar ?
This one-day seminar gives an overview of the alternative lightweight approaches for building J2EE enterprise applications and focuses on the proven combination of Spring, Hibernate and Struts.

Speakers
Erik started to work with Java 7 years ago when he was working in the Research & Technology department of a Belgian financial software provider. Later, he became Director of Technology - EMEA at S1 Corporation where he was responsible for the evangelization of the J2EE-based financial products and guiding the European Technology Group that was researching the latest J2EE related technologies. In September 2003, he joined JCS International. He is now managing the JCS Academy, the Education Services department of JCS where he is lecturing and organizing in-depth Java related training courses like J2SE, J2EE API Overview, J2EE Design Patterns, Hibernate, Struts, JSF, Spring, …
Stephan Janssen has been using Java since its early releases in 1995 with experience of developing and implementing real world Java solutions in the finance and manufacturing industries. In 1998 he founded JCS Int. a Sun authorized Java Center with an exclusive focus on J2ME, J2SE and J2EE since 1997. JCS is also the very first Belgian Java company to speak at JavaOne 2003.
He is also the founder and chairman of the Belgian Java User Group since 1996 and has been organising JavaPolis in Belgium since 2002.
Stephan was selected by BEA Systems as the first European (independant) BEA Technical Director and was recognized by the Server Side as one of the 54 Who is Who in Enterprise Java 2004. In 2005 Sun recognized Stephan's efforts for the Java Community and engaged him in the Java Champion project.
He has spoken at numerous Java and JUG conferences including Java '98 (UK), JAOO '99 (Denmark), JavaDays 2000 (Norway), TMAB (Belgium), JavaPolis 2002-04-05, JavaOne 2003 etc.
