Ryan's Scraps

Like the front line of a civil war troop formation, the first wave of JavaOne presentation submissions have been mowed down. To track what Sun apparently doesn’t think is worthy of our time, here’s a list of topics known to have been rejected. This is less an excercise in public humiliation and more an excercise in making me feel like I have company in my futile Don Quixote-like quest.

• Ryan Daigle:
  • Peer to Peer Java Development; Beyond File-sharing – JXTA, Bittorrent and Others
  • JSR94 – Using and Defining Business Rules with Java’s Rules Engine Specification
• Simon Brown:
  • Project Blogs
• Ted Neward:
  • The Fallacies of Enterprise Computing…
• Jason Carreira:
  • Moving Web Applications from Synchronous to Asynchronous Processing
• Don Larmee:
  • Not just for chat’ – Designing Highly Available (HA) scalable, redundant, presence based systems with the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP)
• Anthony Eden:
  • It’s 2005 And You’re Still Not Using BeanShell?!
• Shane Isbell:
  • Federated Mobile Provisioning with JXTA and the J2EE Client Provisioning Specification
  • Wireless Messaging with Java Explained: Looking Under the Hood
• Bruce Snyder:
  • Creating an ESB Using Open Source Software – Integrating Geronimo and Mule
• Mary Smaragdis:
  • Built a better mouse trap? Get Marketing to beat a path to your door
• Frank Cohen:
  • XML Parsing Techniques and Scalability
  • Dynamic scripting languages BOF (Jython, Groovy, Perl, and many more)
  • From Unit Tests to Scalability and Performance Tests of SOA
  • Parsing poorly formed HTML using Java XML technologies.
• David Hall:
  • From Components to Applications: Bridging the Gap with Functor-Based Programming

Have one to add? Let me know about it. We can wallow in our sorrow and rejection together.

I guess I have to bite my tongue now :)
