We will demonstrate how Java has effectively created a real 'playground' for the creativity of a few security visionaries and, through the early selection of smart components - the ILOG JRules engine notably - helped build a rich solution in compressed schedule and budgets, even with some developers being new to the language.
The presentation will outline tips and techniques peculiar to Java developments but often overlooked by technology-addiction.
