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.

Posted by benchristen on May 19, 2006 at 12:27 AM PDT
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.

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.
