ODTUG 2008 - Sneak Preview van de Nederlandse inzendingen op dinsdag 20 mei 2008
Van zondag 15 juni 2008 tot en met donderdag 19 juni 2008 vindt in New Orleans dé conferentie voor Oracle ontwikkelaars plaats: ODTUG Kaleidoscope 2008. Dit jaar is 10% van de sprekers afkomstig uit Nederland. Op dinsdag 20 mei 2008 van 16:30 tot 21:00 uur organiseert AMIS de ODTUG Sneak Preview 2008. Negen sprekers komen hun ODTUG presentatie al een keer doen. Dit geeft de sprekers de kans op een generale repetitie voor een kritisch publiek en alle aanwezigen een kans drie top-sessies bij te wonen zonder daarvoor naar New Orleans af te reizen.

In drie rondes met elk drie parallelle sessies heb je de mogelijkheid om een maand voor de ODTUG in New Orleans alvast te horen wat deze negen mensen daar gaan presenteren. We willen de aanwezigen vragen actief feedback te geven aan de sprekers zodat deze de presentaties voor het echte werk straks in New Orleans nog verder aan te scherpen.
De locatie van de Sneak Preview is het AMIS kantoor in Nieuwegein. De toegang tot de ODTUG Sneak Preview, het diner en de verfrissingen zijn gratis. Het is wel noodzakelijk dat je je aanmeldt via het aanmeldingsformulier (onderaan). Wil je zo vriendelijk zijn om in het opmerkingenveld aan te geven naar welke presentaties je belangstelling uit gaat? Wij zullen bij het samenstellen van het programma rekening proberen te houden met de voorkeuren.
Het programma van de ODTUG Sneak Preview ziet er als volgt uit:
16:30 - 16:45 Ontvangst
16:45 - 17:45 Eerste Ronde met drie presentaties
17:45 - 18:45 Diner
18:45 - 19:45 Tweede Ronde met drie presentaties
20:00 - 21:00 Derde Ronde met drie presentaties
Vanaf 21:00 Borrelen in het Café @ AMIS
De abstracts van de negen presentaties:

Fusion Middleware - ADF BC
ADF Development: Live from the Trenches
Let's take a ride and learn from our experiences with ADF development and how you can benefit from them. This session will provide you with tips 'n tricks, best practices, things to avoid, and much more from recent ADF projects. ADF and JDeveloper provide a great productivity boost to J2EE application development but as with all technologies, the development path is laden with pitfalls, steep slopes, and many more obstacles. Experience may help to avoid them. So learn from us, from our positive and negative experiences, and from the lessons we've learned. See how you can apply them to your own environment to enhance your ADF development experience and to increase the quality of your applications.
Edwin Biemond, Ordina
Fusion Middleware - JDeveloper
ADF Taskflow in Full Action
How easy it is to make an application with ADF taskflow. In this presentation I will make a simple order application with Jdeveloper 11g. The purpose of this session is to explain what ADF taskflow really does and to demostrate how easy and effective ADF taskflow is. It will show how you can reuse certain parts of the application and how you can integrate WS (BPEL ,ESB) with taskflow in your application. .
Wilfred Van Der Deijl, Eurotransplant
Fusion Middleware - Building Custom Applications using Fusion Middleware
Integrating Oracle Forms with Other Web Technologies
The session will demonstrate how easy it is to fully integrate an existing Forms application into a JSF based Web application. With the right JSF component library, it's a matter of drag-and-drop. This allows you to build hybrid applications consisting of Oracle Forms and newly built Web pages. You can pass context from the Web application to Forms and the other way around. It's also possible to invoke actions in Forms from within the Web application or initiate Web application events from Forms PL/SQL. This is something a lot of Forms users have been craving for the last couple of years. Now it's here and you have to see it to believe it. It can be the key in a gradual migration from Oracle Forms to new technology, or if you're happy to continue using Oracle Forms, it allows you to integrate these forms with any Web application, whether it is a new JSF application, Oracle Portal, Oracle WebCenter, PHP, or any other Web technology.
Dimitri Gielis, Apex Evangelists
Oracle Tools - Application Express
Creating Advanced Charts in Oracle Application Express
More and more people want to see data in a graphical view. This presentation shows you how to create an advanced "graphical view" of your data in Oracle Application Express (APEX). This presentation will be seasoned with one big live demo! A risk, but I want to "show" it to you!
Lucas Jellema, AMIS Services
Fusion Middleware
BPEL and ESB: What's in It for Oracle Database Developers
SOA is a hot topic and Oracle is pushing the BPEL Process Manager and in its wake the Enterprise Service Bus so forcefully that probably something is going on. However, many Oracle Database developers are not really clear about what it is or what it means to them. Is BPEL a world apart from plain old PL/SQL programming? Is SOA irrelevant to database designers and SQL programmers? Or should they care?
This presentation explains in a high level overview what the key SOA concepts are. It also describes the respective roles of BPEL PM and the Enterprise Service Bus. It will then demonstrate how from PL/SQL programs (and even from SQL queries) SOA Services offered in BPEL or ESB can (and sometime meaningfully should) be leveraged, for example to perform operations across databases or even heterogeneous data stores.
The presentation will spend quiet some time on the ways the Oracle SOA Suite (both ESB and BPEL PM) can work with the Oracle Database through the Database Adapter.

Oracle Tools - Application Express
Explore and Benefit the APEX Repository
The APEX engine generates forms, reports, and charts based on meta data that is stored in the APEX repository. As a developer it is very easy, but still not common practice, to use this repository with meta data for quality assurance and impact analysis. APEX also comes with an API on the APEX repository which can be used to perform automated bulk operations to enforce a consistent behavior or look and feel for APEX applications. In my presentation I will explain how the APEX repository is organized and how developers can benefit from the repository and its API. I also will demonstrate how to develop quality reports and how to use the API to perform time consuming changes in one or multiple applications in only a few seconds.
Alex Nuijten, AMIS Services
Oracle Tools - PL/SQL
Stuff You Can Do with Conditional Compilation
How can you test a procedure or function which is private to a package? How can you continue with development when the component that you depend upon is not finished yet? How can you make sure that your code gets compiled with the best optimizer settings possible or have it not compile at all? How do you leave debug code out of production code? With version 10g, Oracle provided the PL/SQL PreCompiler, one of those features that demonstrate how PL/SQL is still not just very much alive but a modern programming language as well. You, as a serious PL/SQL developer, will want to learn all about this feature and how it will help you in your job. Another neat thing you can do with Conditional Compilation, is create database version independent code. Take full advantage of new Oracle 11g development features, but still be compatible with your Oracle 10g application. Get your code ready for tomorrow by using Conditional Compilation!

Robust App Server Topologies for Deploying Highly Critical Applications
The application server has become the most important part of an IT infrastructure for the deployment of any kind of application. It is often very important to choose application server topologies that offer scalability, reliability, and security. The design of such topologies should be made in an early phase of a project in order to make the right choices and to let application developers and architects get acquainted with aspects such as load-balancing, session fail-over, authentication using single sign-on, and deployment independent packaging. These aspects will be demonstrated in an implementation case of a highly critical system for one of the largest airports in the world.
René van Wijk, Transfer Solutions
Java EE and SOA - Web Development
Data Binding Concepts: from JSP to JSF
Data shared between Web components, either servlets or pages created using JSP or JSF technology, is usually maintained in a database. How the data sharing, i.e. data binding, for the different technologies can be accomplished is discussed by using examples.
