Marc Fleury, founder and president of JBoss Inc., will describe the Professional Open Source model and what the future means for key open source Java products such as JBoss Application Server, Hibernate, JBoss Cache, and others. This talk will also include detailed technical discussions about the Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) framework and the role the Microkernel plays within the JBoss Application Server.

We will move beyond just simple logging examples to cover all standard reusable aspect technologies present in JBoss, such as persistence, caching, invocations, transactions, and acidity. As a bonus, this session will also include detailed coverage of key additional open source Java products such as Hibernate, the world's most popular open source O/R Mapping and Transparent Object Persistence product, and JBoss Cache, a unique transactional replicated cache.

This session will also give attendees the chance to ask questions of one of the most recognized leaders in open source Java software.
