Topic: Web MVC Grows Up
Over the past six years, a number of frameworks have been developed for
building JEE web applications, such as Struts, Velocity, Spring MVC, and
Java Server Faces. Most, if not all, of these frameworks are based on
the Model-View-Controller (MVC) design pattern. This pattern describes
how the presentation layer should be organized in a web application, but
it does not address how lower layers (business logic, persistence and
integration) should be defined, or how the presentation layer should
access these other layers. With the advent of Service Oriented
Architectures (SOA), there is a pressing need to define design patterns
that allow the construction of services that can participate in an SOA,
whilst still being easy to integrate into a web application framework.
This talk describes some design patterns that extend the MVC concept to
all the layers of the typical web application, using the principles of
Domain-Driven Development (DDD). Furthermore, the session will also
describe how these patterns could assist in building Model-Driven
Development (MDD) tools that might revolutionize web application
development.
Speaker: Colin Sharples, IBM Global Business Services
Colin Sharples is an IT Specialist with IBM Global Business Services. He
has been designing and writing Java web applications since 1998. He is
thoroughly sick of writing the same code over and over, and can't wait
for the day when the One True Framework becomes a Java standard.
Please extend an invitation to attend to any interested friends or
colleagues. As usual, there is no cost involved!
Yours
