Event Description
Hello OrlandoJUG,
This month, March, we have a special very talented developer for our monthly meeting. Curtis McMillen will be our speaker.
TITLE
Why mock when Arquillian rocks?!
ABSTRACT
Unit testing is a waste of time. Yep, I said it. If your application runs inside a container, like say a Java EE application, how do you unit test code which depends on container provided services such as security, transaction management, and injection? Well you simply mock the transaction manager, and the security layer, and the injected dependencies, and whatever else your code depends on and then, finally, you write your unit test. Simple right? Stop making a mockery of testing and start writing real tests, for real code, running inside a real container. Come see how Arquillian makes this a snap and will make you cooler, smarter, and even better looking.

Sorry you can't make it, James but we'll mention Liferay and potential to migrate Codetown there. Also, there's a possibility we're gonna video the talk.

Hey Mike - dang, this one sounds good! I will be travelling back from EclipseCon, so I'll have to miss - hopefully can make the next one. I'd choose Maven if I were attending :)

I vote for this: Unit Testing with Arquillian (& maybe Graphene/Selenium) for the same reason Greg mentioned.
Second place is CDI.

I vote for Arquillian. Mainly 'cause it's the one I know least about.
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

New Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) Hopes to Cut LLM Costs by Reducing Token Consumption
The recently released Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) aims to be a schema-aware alternative to JSON that significantly reduces token consumption at a similar level of accuracy. While the existence and importance of token saved depend on the data shape. some benchmarks show TOON may use in some cases 40% fewer tokens than JSON, possibly resulting in LLM and inference cost savings.
