Apache Commons SCXML provides a lightweight, embeddable state machine engine which can easily be configured and customized at runtime within your application.
Since last year the project has been picking up speed with new committers working hard towards a Commons SCXML 2.0 release, targeting full compliance with the latest W3C SCXML specification.

This presentation by Ate Douma, one of these new committers, will give you an overview of the current features and roadmap of Commons SCXML.
He will also discuss typical domains and use-cases for SCXML, and demonstrate how easily it can be used and integrated.
Commons SCXML also is very easy to extend and customize, with a clear API and a very modular structure and you will learn how Commons SCXML works under the hoods.
Finally a demonstration and explanation will be given on using Commons SCXML for a document-oriented workflow engine.

Apache Jackrabbit is just about to reach the 3.0 milestone based on a new architecture called Oak. Based on concepts like eventual consistency and multi-version concurrency control, and borrowing ideas from distributed version control systems and cloud-scale databases, the Oak architecture is a major leap ahead for Jackrabbit. This presentation describes the Oak architecture and shows what it means for the scalability and performance of modern content applications. Changes to existing Jackrabbit functionality are described and the migration process is explained.

Apache Syncope is a powerful and flexible open-source Identity Management project at Apache. It provides for the management and orchestration of users, roles, resources and entitlements, functionality which is exposed via a web-based UI console as well as a powerful and flexible REST API powered by Apache CXF.

In this talk, we will provide an overview of Apache Syncope and a ""hands-on"" demonstration of how to use it. We will describe and demonstrate the new features of Apache Syncope 1.2.0, such as:

* Support for binary attributes
* Passthrough authentication
* Non-cleartext password support
* Encrypted Schemas
* REST API powered by Apache CXF

Welcome to Apache JSPWiki - a Java-based Wiki using Java Server Pages (see http://jspwiki.apache.org). The presentation starts with a technical overview of Apache JSPWiki and turns to settting up JSPWiki for different environments & requirements. These environments range from your personal "Wiki On A Stick" running from an USB stick (including native launchers) up to a work-group setup deployed on a in-house server with integrated Lucene search.

Within the ASF, there are a wide variety of projects with technologies to help you store, retrieve, host, transform and generate content. This talk will review the landscape of Apache content technologies, provide a quick introduction to the more common and more interesting projects, and flag up new and innovative features within them. It'll also highlight talks from the rest of the week on many of the projects covered, so that you'll know where and when to go to learn more about those projects and technologies which catch your eye!

Apache Directory Server is a LDAP server written in Java. It offers many interesting features, beside being a fully compliant LDAP server. Fortress, on the other hand, is a full ANSI RBAC (INCITS 359) implementation, which uses a LDAP server as a backend.

We will present how you can leverage both components to build a powerful authorization system that you can include into your application.
