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.

Presentation: Write-Ahead Intent Log: A Foundation for Efficient CDC at Scale

Vinay Chella and Akshat Goel discuss the challenges of running traditional CDC across heterogeneous databases during peak order traffic. They explain how Debezium hit limits under high load and share how they built Write-Ahead Intent Log (WAIL) - a custom architecture that utilizes a dumb producer proxy and a smart consumer pattern to cleanly separate the intent from the state payload.
