Enterprise Application Management with Spring

Designing your enterprise application for management can be a daunting task. Developers need runtime visibility into their application once it is deployed, but often times are faced not only with the challenge of how to provide this visibility but also with the challenge of determining how much visibility to provide. In this session, you will learn practical techniques that can be used to address these issues. You will also see how Spring can play a role both in building manageability into your enterprise applications and in managing those applications once they are deployed. "

Managing your Applications with SpringSource AMS

Is your application feeling neglected? Once you deployed it into production, did you drift apart? Perhaps you abandoned your deployed application for some hot new project? Come to this session to learn how to use the SpringSource Application Management Suite (AMS) to reconnect with your Spring-powered application in both development and production environments. We will explore how AMS uses AOP and JMX to provide automatic discovery, monitoring and runtime control of a variety of Spring components. Attendees will learn how to use the AMS API to easily build manageability into their own application components. Attend this session and learn how to break down those communication barriers and gain new insight into your application.
