What's New in AppFuse 2.0
The 2.0 version of AppFuse is designed to make developing Java web applications with Spring much easier. By using and leveraging Maven 2, users will be able to quickly add/remove dependencies, as well as develop their applications quickly and efficiently from their favorite IDE. This release will includes a move to annotations, JSP 2.0 and Spring 2.0.
This presentations covers what's new in AppFuse 2.0, as well as describe experiences migrating from Ant to Maven, Spring 1.x to 2.0, and leveraging annotations for Java development.

Seven Simple Reasons to Use AppFuse
AppFuse is an open source project/application that uses best-of-breed Java open source tools to help you develop web applications quickly and efficiently. Not only does it provide documentation on how to develop light-weight POJO-based applications, it includes features that many applications need out-of-the-box: authentication and authorization, remember me, password hint, skinnability, file upload, Ajax libraries, signup and SSL switching. This is one of the main features in AppFuse that separates it from the other "CRUD Generation" frameworks like Ruby on Rails, Trails and Grails. AppFuse is already an application when you start using it, which means code examples are already in your project. Furthermore, because features already exist, the amount of boiler-plate code that most projects need will be eliminated.
In this session, you will learn Seven Simple Reasons to Use AppFuse. If you don't use it to start your own projects, hopefully you will see that it provides much of the boiler-plate code that can be used in Java-based web applications. Since it's Apache Licensed, you're more than welcome to copy/paste any code from it into your own applications.

Migrating from Struts 1 to Struts 2
Struts has outgrown its reputation as a simple web framework and has become more of a brand. Because of this, two next generation frameworks are being developed within the project: Shale and Action 2.0. Action 2.0 is based on WebWork, and though its backing beans are similar to JSF, its architecture is much simpler, and easier to use.
Migrating to Struts Action 2.0 is more about unlearning Struts than it is about learning the "WebWork Way". Once you understand how simple WebWork is, you'll find that Struts Action 2.0 is a powerful framework that supports action-based navigation, page-based navigation, AOP/Interceptors, components and rich Ajax support.
Come to this session to see code comparisons and learn about migration strategies to use the kick-ass web framework of 2006.
