Full cache at JBoss World
by Karsten Wade
First session of JBoss World is Bela Ban and Brian Stansberry talking about optimizing HTTP session clustering, focusing on JBoss Cache and JGroups. Their talk is full of immediately useful info, and I see lots of note taking. Fortunately for all of these attendees, and also for everyone ever after, this is also the first talk that I’m we’re capturing full audio video for Dev Fu technical session archives. That audio video plus the slides from the talk should may help you find the useful tips, such as this one on tuning and slimming JBoss Application Server by searching for the misspellings in the wiki name “tuning sliming jboss“.
This room is packed wall to wall, and more than a few on the floor. So far this is the sign for the whole conference. There are a lot of people here. Don’t know if there are ever official numbers given out, but it seems well into the hundreds and hundreds. Pretty good for a developer focused conference.
The Red Hat video story team is here in force. I wandered around for the first twenty minutes of getting here this morning, saying howdies to friends. My excitement didn’t kick in until I went into the little back room (in the middle of everything) where the video editing is taking place. Not that it was a lot of equipment or looking like the MI5 van in an episode of Spooks. It is a relatively modest nerve center, but it’s where I’ll be spending some afternoons and evenings and maybe early mornings all week long, working with this great crew to bring you the developer story happening here at JBoss World.
Update: When I greedily went to listen to the recording after the session, I found it blank! Curses. Apparently I pushed the [Rec] button just one time, which puts it in standby mode. It faithfully stood by for a while, then went to sleep. We’ll just have to see how the video comes out for giving us useful audio, but I don’t have a lot of hope. Oh, well, spilt milk and all that, no time to cry. Thanks to Bob McWhirter of JBoss.org for his video capture, which gives us something much more than nothing.
