Topic: Clustered Spring with Terracotta
Speaker(s): Alex Miller
Abstract:
Spring provides a solid framework for building applications. Terracotta technology provides the ability to cluster portions of the Java heap and multi-threading primitives like synchronized and wait/notify. Terracotta provides integration with Spring that lets you seamlessly extend Spring across multiple Java Virtual Machines! This allows you to take existing beans and spread them across a cluster, turn Spring application context events into distributed events, export clustered beans via Spring JMX, and make your Spring Web Flow apps highly available and clustered.

Speaker(s): Jeff Roberts
Abstract:
Jeff Roberts will be providing a very brief and basic introduction to the most basic principle in Spring; the concept of Inversion of Control. Since this is the inaugural meeting of the St. Louis Spring Users group, the presentation will be brief and at least half of the meeting will be devoted to meeting and greeting. This will give everyone an opportunity to meet everyone, discuss the direction of the group and help get organized.
