JavaOne 2010 is just around the corner! Well, sort of. While JavaOne 2010 doesn't actually happen until almost five months from now (September 19-23), the call for papers has already closed. That means, for people like Sharat Chander, the JavaOne Content Selection Chairperson, JavaOne 2010 really is just around the corner.

There's lots of buzz about the content for JavaOne 2010. I took a moment to talk with Sharat Chander, Principal Product Director in Oracle's Application Grid Product Marketing Team, about the content selection process for JavaOne.

Tori asked Sharat "what's your role in relation to JavaOne?"

Sharat: For the past four years, I've served as the one of Track Leads assigned to review and grade abstracts received during the Call for Papers(CFP). This year, I'm serving as the overall Chairperson for content selection for JavaOne 2010. Individuals can learn more about this year's Conference at: http://www.oracle.com/us/javaonedevelop/062264.html.

With regard to the number of submissions received, Sharat says "the community has definitely given us a challenging job in determining what submissions to approve for the event (a nice problem to have!)" The paper/session selection process is similar to what has existed in recent years. Starting in mid-May, emails will be sent out to people whose submissions have been accepted. Some time in June, the final sessions list will be posted to the JavaOne site.

Sharat cites three ways you can keep abreast of JavaOne 2010 news:

• Visit the JavaOne web page often
• Subscribe to the @JavaOneConf Twitter feed
• Join the JaveOne Group on Facebook

Dustin Marx compares and contrasts Turn Signals and Coding Conventions:

In How Turn Signals Work, Karim Nice writes "Turn signals may be the most underutilized device on a car." I sometimes feel that when I witness drivers who cannot be bothered with indicating their intentions through use of a turn signal. Besides being simple common sense, the importance of using a turn signal to convey intentions to others is documented by multiple groups and individuals including driver safety informational sites, automobile insurance sites, law firms and legal information sites... Coding conventions are much like turn signals in that they are often a preferred and expected form of communication between developers who might not have an easier way to communicate the same information. Unfortunately...

David Geary continues his JSF 2.0 article series with JSF 2 fu: Ajax components:

Among JSF 2's many new features, two of the most compelling are arguably composite components and Ajax support. But their strength is most apparent when the two are combined, making it easy to implement Ajax-enabled custom components with a minimum of fuss. In this article, I'll show you how to implement an autocomplete component that uses Ajax to manage its list of completion items. In doing so, you'll see how you can integrate Ajax into your own composite components...

In the Weblogs, Bruno Ghisi introduces DIME - Dependency Injection for Java ME:

My masters colleague, Guilherme Hobold, and his friend, Elinton Machado, have created a very interesting project for helping Java ME applications with dependency injection. Actually, it is not only for Java ME (CLDC), but because of there is no reflection, they have done some magic to make it work in a nice way. The project is called DIME, which means Dependency Injection for Java ME. Basically it has a XML to configure the beans (it depends on kXML lib for parsing), a container to get the beans and the classes have to implemented a Bean interface that provides access to the hash table that is used to set the correct values...

Masoud Kalili presents Learning GlassFish v3 Command Line Administration Interface (CLI):

Terminals and consoles was one of the earliest types of communication interfaces between a system administrator and the system administration layer. Due to this long time presence, command line administration consoles become one the most utilized administration channel for configuring different software ranging from database engines to router’s embedded operating systems. GlassFish provides several administration channels; one of them is the command line administration interface or CLI from now on. The CLI has many unique features which make it very convenient for command line advocates and new administrators...
