Spring 2.0 has dynamic language support. To make it work, you do need a Java interface as a contract between callers and dynamic beans. There's no special requirements on the interface. It's a "POJI" and doesn't have to extend or implement anything. For example:
public interface Messenger {
String getMessage();
}

There's a couple of other sessions I should probably go to, namely Juergen's talk on Transactions and Mark Fisher's Message Driven POJOs Rock! However, transactions is generally a pretty boring topic and I don't see myself developing any MDPs in the next two weeks. If you don't use your knowledge in two weeks, you generally lose it, so I'll wait to learn more about MDPs until someone pays me to. I know a fair bit already, so I don't know that there's a whole lot more to learn.

I've arrived at The Spring Experience, 45 minutes late for the first talk. I tried to get up early, but decided I'd rather get 6 hours of sleep instead of 4. I'm now sitting in Eric Evans' Introduction to Domain-Driven Design talk and the room is packed. I've never seen Eric talk before, but he seems a bit unprepared. His PowerPoint presentation is not in full-screen mode, so you can see where he hasn't finished slides and such. He's also very soft-spoken and seems to have an interesting way of convincing the audience his ideas are good. I feel like I'm sitting in some sort of NPR Seminar.[Read More]
