Ericsson will host three BOFs (“birds of a feather”) and one technical session during the Java One conference taking place June 1-5 in San Francisco. If you are attending the event, don’t miss these!

One of the BOFs is Using REST and Web Services to Mash Up Communications Capabilities, organized by Elena Fersman and Peter Yeung, who both work for Ericsson Developer Connection.

The two presenters are looking forward to their BOF, during which they intend to show how easy it is for developers to use REST to add telecom functionality to applications. They want an interactive session, with lots of questions and input from the audience.

Key points of the session are:

• How to use Web services with SOAP to access communications capabilities in Java technology-based enterprise applications.
• How to use REST interfaces to access communications capabilities in PHP applications.
• How to use JavaScript technology and Ajax on web pages to mash up communications capabilities.
BOF-4355, Tuesday June 2, 8:30 PM – 9:20 PM, Esplanade 300

In a second BOF, JSR 325: A New (Standardized) Way of Communication, Martin Johansson and Niclas Palm will present JSR 325, IMS Communication Enablers (ICE). This JSR defines a high-level API for IMS communication enablers such as presence, group list management, and instant messaging (IM).

In the description of the BOF the presenters say: “An application developer using JSR 325 can, in a standardized way, develop a chat service for the mobile community with billions of users.

“The audience will leave this session inspired by the newly revealed ICE functionality and eager to develop a new kind of mobile application.”
BOF-4520, Tuesday June 2, 9:30 PM – 10:20 PM, Esplanade 303

The third Ericsson BOF is hosted by Jens Jensen and Peter Kristiansson, and is called Availability management for Java, JSR 319. Key points of this session are:

The concepts of “Availability Management for Java.”
How “Availability Management for Java” can improve availability for enterprise Java technology.
Code examples of how applications can use the new API.
BOF-4112, Thursday June 04, 8:30 PM - 9:20 PM, Hall E 134

In a technical session called A Virtual Multimedia Office, Jan van der Meer will show how 3-D virtual worlds can be integrated with mobile devices for real-time collaboration from anywhere. The session covers how Sun's Project Wonderland virtual world toolkit lets developers build a range of clients that access the same virtual world.
TS-4538, Wednesday June 3, 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM, Hall E 133
