Brian Chess's JavaOne talk (TS-1660, "Twelve Javaâ„¢ Technology Security Traps and How to Avoid Them") was a great, fun, interactive presentation that you can play at home.
View the slides and at each code sample, try to name the security risk, then move to the next slide to see the answer. This is relevant for all developers. Security is something we should adopt into our code from the...
I surveyed my lunch table to find out what JavaOne sessions were the best! Ok, sure, it was just one table out of a thousand . . . but, onto the results!

One of my lessons-learned from JavaOne is the importance of choosing the right data access. I try to preach using the right tool for the right job and didn't realize that in my mind I had made Hibernate the choice for all data access.
Two talks by Cameron Purdy helped me expose my inner-hypocrisy.

POJOs, REST, AJAX. These acronyms are big buzz words -- and buzz is good, it brings needed exposure -- but, I fear too much hype will bring lack of understanding.
POJOs are a revolt against the complexity of EJBs! I love the ironic intent of the POJO acronym -- maybe my boss will give credence to my ideas if I use a fancy acronym (oooh, wait a second . . . AJAX). The POJO acronym now appears...
Spring, Struts, Webwork, Tiles, Velocity . . . the list goes on! There are so many choices for Java Web Frameworks, but none are really at JavaOne. What happened?
I'm very excited about all the REST coverage at JavaOne and there is plenty of AJAX coverage (as we all know), but I would have loved to see more talks about Java Web Frameworks. Maybe I chose the wrong sessions and missed them, but...
Part of the excitement of JavaOne is seeing our celebrities in person! Erich Gamma and John Wiegand presented the Eclipse team project cycle and provided a great view into this iterative process. It's a must watch! View the webcast files.
Dave Johnson gave a great talk Tuesday at JavaOne (TS-1756 - Java™ Technology and REST: Implementing the Atom Protocol). I've been a fan of his roller weblogger for a few years (it's the best option for hosting your own multiple blog server) and it was great to hear him speak and to put a face to the blog server. (It's amazing how much we can learn about the personalities involved in an...
The latest version of the Java Pet Store Reference Application includes AJAX. This allows enterprise java developers to ease into the AJAX world via an existing comfort zone -- the Java Pet Store.
Here are two AJAX recommendations for the enterprise java developer (from the Java One talk - TS-1615
