Java EE 7: Infinite Extensibility Meets Infinite Reuse

This session is an exploration of two bleeding-edge concepts under active consideration in Java EE 7 to greatly expand annotation reuse across the platform and drastically improve the extensibility of the platform itself. The first part dives deep into the misunderstood MDB/Connector API; reveals its inner simplicity; and shows that with a slight twist, radical new APIs can be created for distributed communication with expressive APIs that can rival JAX-RS. The second half of the session explores the budding concept of annotation reuse that blossomed independently in three specifications of Java EE 6: bean validation, CDI, and JAX-RS. A fundamental change aims to enable all specifications to adopt annotation reuse and extend that ability to developers.
