SAS® Institute has a large portfolio of Java EE applications. SAS had previously provided support to deploy and run all of these applications in WebLogic, WebSphere and JBoss. Beginning with SAS 9.4, which was released in July 2013, SAS updated its infrastructure and middle tier platform to deliver and run on Pivotal tc Server. In this talk, we will discuss the motivation, technology selection, architecture, system administration, automated installation and configuration, etc., that SAS used to improve value for its customers. Specifically, we will discuss the following areas in detail:

• Technology selection: To make tc Server viable, we include the messaging, caching and the transaction management system.
• Architecture: To leverage tc Server scalability and reliability in SAS products, we support clustering by using the Pivotal Web Server and the mod_proxy. Application migration: We provide guidance to our Java developers and configuration developers on how to migrate their applications to the tc Server environment.
• Security: We support SSL, single sign-on and other enterprise security protocols such as Integrated Windows Authentication, CA Site Minder, IBM Web Seal, SAML, etc.
• System administration: We provide a single entry point to manage all SAS application stacks including all web applications by leveraging the Hyperic product.
• Automated installation / configuration: We provide the automated process to install and configure Hyperic and all Pivotal Application Fabric products (tc Server, vFWS and GemFire) and SAS web applications.
• Delivery and support: SAS delivers embedded tc Server as the SAS Web Application Server for use with all our offerings with a midtier on all our supported host platforms. This enables SAS to provide complete supported application architecture with more complete visibility and control of the critical software.
• Cloud deployment: This approach also provides advantages for our customers leveraging virtualization and cloud deployment strategies.

The session will cover various GC tuning techniques, in particular focus on tuning large scale JVM deployments. Come to this session to learn about GC tuning recipe that can give you the best configuration for latency sensitive applications. While predominantly most enterprise class Java workloads can fit into a scaled-out set of JVM instances of less than 4GB JVM heap, there are workloads in the in memory database space that require fairly large JVMs. In this session we take a deep dive into the issues and the optimal tuning configurations for tuning large JVMs in the range of 4GB to 128GB. In this session the GC tuning recipe shared is a refinement from 15 years of GC engagements and an adaptation in recent years for tuning some of the largest JVMs in the industry using plain HotSpot and CMS GC policy. You should be able to walk away with the ability to commence a decent GC tuning exercise on your own. The session does summarize the techniques and the necessary JVM options needed to accomplish this task. Naturally when tuning large scale JVM platforms, the underlying hardware tuning cannot be ignored, hence the session will take detour from the traditional GC tuning talks out there and dive into how you optimally size a platform for enhanced memory consumption. Lastly, the session will also cover vfabric reference architecture where a comprehensive performance study was done. Learn more about

The Spring Integration team has been hard at work on the latest release of the popular integration framework. Before version 4.0, it was impractical to define a complete Spring Integration flow without using XML. With this major release, the existing basic annotation support has received an overhaul and those who prefer to use java @Configuration classes can now define their applications without needing to use any XML (of course, XML is still supported as well). In this session we will cover these major changes to the framework, explaining how and when to use them. It will be mainly demonstration and code walk through, and we will build a useful Spring Boot / Integration application from scratch.

Speaker: Rob Winch Spring Security is a framework that focuses on providing both authentication and authorization to Java applications. Like all Spring projects, the real power of Spring Security is found in how easily it can be extended to meet custom requirements. In this presentation Rob will incrementally apply the new features found in Spring Security 3.2 to an existing application to demonstrate how it can meet your authentication and authorization needs.

Join Chris Beams as he dives into http://spring.io - the new spring website. It's chock full of amazing new resources that you can share with your co-workers who might be new to Spring, or simply helping to introduce Spring to those who might not be familiar with it - people coding in other languages, frameworks, or platforms. You've asked us to help make it easier to win the comparisons, and we've listened. Attend this session to get the ammo you need to win that internal bake off, and learn the details about how the site was built and deployed. now and open source project!

There is more and more usage of JavaScript on the client side today. Many are starting down the difficult path of full blown application development in JS on the client side, going beyond having a simple rollover menu logic or presentation component. But tracking and tracing effectively means looking at the whole application, not just the front end. New Relic can be used either in development or production to diagnose hybrid JavaScript/Java applications. In this session, Josh Long (Pivotal) and Ashley Puls (New Relic) will show how you can track and trace your way through today's hybrid JavaScript+Java web apps - resolving slow page loads, blocked threads, slow queries, etc.

Building Spring Applications on Cloud Foundry

Recorded at SpringOne2GX 2013 in Santa Clara, CA.

Speaker: Josh Long and Andy Piper

Let's face it, the cloud is here to stay. The cloud's potential can seem sometimes overwhelming, but it doesn't have to if you use Spring. Spring - and the various Spring projects - already embrace the architecture characteristics that make for great, cloud-centric applications in any environment. While Spring works well on any cloud platform, it enjoys a special place in the sun on Cloud Foundry, the open source PaaS from Pivotal. In this talk, join Andy Piper as he introduces how to build Spring applications that work well in the cloud and on Cloud Foundry in particular. We'll cover how to consume services with Spring on Cloud Foundry, how to scale out using RabbitMQ and Spring Integration, how to use standalone processes and RabbitMQ for better batch processing, and discuss strategies for exposing and consuming services in a RESTful service-based cloud architecture.

As you find it in the open-source codebase, Cloud Foundry includes a set of prepackaged services (Postgres, MySQL, Redis, MongoDB and RabbitMQ) and a number of application runtimes (Java, Ruby and Node.js). In addition, CloudFoundry.com integrates with a number of external service providers through a services gateway. When you are deploying your own Cloud Foundry you can extend the existing open-source features by adding additional services and runtime support. In fact, you can bring your own runtime to any Cloud Foundry (including CloudFoundry.com) via buildpacks. In this session we will show you how to build and deploy, or broker custom services. We will also introduce you to buildpacks, show you how to create your own, and how to get your apps to use them.

A modular, polyglot architecture has many advantages but it also adds complexity since each incoming request typically fans out to multiple distributed services. For example, in an online store application the information on a product details page - description, price, recommendations, etc - comes from numerous services. To minimize response time and improve scalability, these services must be invoked concurrently. However, traditional concurrency mechanisms are low-level, painful to use and error-prone. In this talk you will learn about some powerful yet easy to use abstractions for consuming web services asynchronously. We will compare the various implementations of futures that are available in Java, Scala and JavaScript. You will learn how to use reactive observables, which are asynchronous data streams, to access web services from both Java and JavaScript. We will describe how these mechanisms let you write asynchronous code in a very straightforward, declarative fashion.
