Got CDI? Wonder what dependency injection and JEE6 are all about? What the heck is Spring? RSVP, por favor. This is an event you won't want to miss!
Please RSVP so we'll know how much pizza to order. Invite your friends!
Hang on to your seats! JEE and CDI are the November, 2012 GatorJUG topics with Curtis McMillen, ace developer.
Bio
Curtis McMillen is a Development Supervisor at Infinite Energy, Inc. in Gainesville, FL. He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Florida and has over 5 years of experience developing Java EE based web applications. In addition to all things Java, he enjoys project automation and playing billiards.
Abstract
CDI: The new new()
Okay so new() hasn't actually gone anywhere, but I did get your attention right? With Contexts and Dependency Injection (CDI) you can still use new() but why would you want to? And what's so great about CDI, besides the DI? All patterned out and tired of FooFactory and BarObserver? Put the PowerPoint down and see answers to these questions and many more developed live using actual Java code.
Come join us as we dig deep into the Java Enterprise version 6 and dependency injection. Please pass the word and bring a friend.
Check out this great tutorial for insights into JEE6 and CDI:http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/giwhb.html
Come hungry, podnuh's...we'll have lots of pizza and drinks, courtesy of Mark Kilby and Rally Software, our sponsor. Thanks, Mark!
Codetown is a social network. It's got blogs, forums, groups, personal pages and more! You might think of Codetown as a funky camper van with lots of compartments for your stuff and a great multimedia system, too! Best of all, Codetown has room for all of your friends.

AWS has recently introduced durability for Amazon ElastiCache for Valkey, enabling reliable data retention across failures and expanding support beyond caching to persistent workloads. The feature offers new options that prioritize either minimizing data loss or maintaining lower write latency, expanding the range of use cases supported by the Redis fork.

HashiCorp has announced the general availability of the Terraform MCP Server, an open-source MCP server that enables agents to integrate with Terraform Registry APIs. The company says that it can improve infrastructure teams productivity by relieving engineers of rote tasks.

AWS recently announced CDK Mixins, a new AWS CDK feature that lets developers add reusable capabilities like security, monitoring, and configuration to AWS resources. Mixins work across different construct types, making infrastructure code more flexible and reusable.

Google recently announced that WebMCP is entering origin trials in Chrome 149. The new WebMCP standard proposal lets sites expose tools (e.g., JavaScript functions and HTML forms) to in-browser AI agents, which can thus reliably simulate user actions instead of resorting to possibly expensive (e.g., on-screen reading) and often unreliable guesswork (e.g., DOM scraping).

Google has announced the Google Colab CLI, a command-line tool that allows developers and AI agents to interact with remote Colab runtimes directly from a local terminal.
