JavaOne 2007
JavaOne is an annual conference by Sun Microsystems sponsored in collaboration with various OEM, ISV who develop, promote Java based products. Since 1996, it had been primarily Java developer's conference. But this time, with Java being open-sourced there has been new buzz in the air that was Open community one, Open possibilities...
sun exhibited various innovative products. Project Blackbox, Storage tek storage device, ZFS, Xen, Dtrace made appearance. SUN Spots, Virtual workSpace were amazing innovations from SUN Lab. Java submarine, Robots, car Racer were awesome projects.
ORACLE, BEA, IBM, Google, Motorola, Nokia like big names showcased endless Strategic possibilities with Java.
Project Crossbow was for everybody's delight a grand treat for many application developers.....
Networking Application isolation throuch zones/containers and ability to keeping it isolated through IP instances all the way to Virtual Nics with further packet flow classification at the granulaity levels of L2,L3,L4 (all the way to L5)to keep the traffic isolated, with right bandwidths and prioritiess was something many business app developers were amazed about.
Exlusive IP instance, classifying packets into different tiers to be able to assign network bandwidths and priorities and ability to assign processor pool through container set or dladm cli looked handy for many networked gaming apps developers.
As Crossbow takes simple approach to complex virtualization problem, appeared promising in application space virtualization for them, and we found out many opportunities for crossbow in application space.
Ability to do this virtualization and isolation for any type of application say C++, Java, PHP, python,PERL etc. was found very interesting by couple of non-Java/C++ developers those are recently moving to Java code base.
3 days of fun, filled with technical people, sessions, exhibitions, talks, ice cream bars, capuccinos, late sandwitch lunches, early morning wake ups, BARTs, cal trains and lots and lots of just hard work ! we enjoyed every bit of it and nonenthless, we did a great job!!!
-later,
