You're on another typical JavaEE-based project, and you find yourself writing the same old infrastructure code - again. Are you wondering if there's a easier way to incorporate the basics such as configuration, logging, HTTP, and email into your application? If so, then this presentation is for you. By using a number of Java-based utilities from Apache and similar projects, you can learn how to stop re-inventing the wheel.
We'll start with a simple Java application and add the ability to use:
Apache Commons Lang for String handling
Apache Commons Configuration to configure an application
Apache Velocity Templates and Apache Commons Email to format and send email messages
Apache Commons IOUtils to simplify File and Stream I/O
Apache POI to generate Excel spreadsheets
Joda Time to simplify Date/Time handling
SLF4J and Logback to log messages
Jasypt to encrypt sensitive data
By learning to leverage these utilities, attendees can simplify their applications by reducing/eliminating infrastructure code.
