How to build a multi-tenancy online development platform in Java

... or, more specifically, how to build a multi-tenancy online development platform in Java thanks to JCR, JAX-RS, OpenSocial Gadgets, Groovy and GateIn?

Building traditional Java UI applications requires a long development cycle. This presentation will show how eXo leverages several Java specifications to assemble an online application development platform that can be used to build private and public clouds.

This presentation is intended for Java developers and architects that would like to expand their knowledge to new concepts related to cloud and online agile development.

We will see how a JCR repository data store can be used to:

* model a cloud tenant
* to store and dynamically deploy JAX-RS services written in Groovy
* to store and dynamically deploy OpenSocial Gadgets that connect to previously online-created REST APIs
* to remotely expose those Gadgets to the public cloud
