This is a recording of the Birds-of-a-Feather meetup XX (number 20).

Emmanuel Okyere has been hard at work converting the (in)famous PetStore J2EE reference application up-to-date with the RIFE framework. Find out about RIFE through this presentation.

Here are some of the themes discussed in this video:

• the RIFE meta programming model
• using logic-less templates to rebuild the user interface and the process step-by-step replacement of JSP
• data access using the RIFE data source abstractions
• refactoring the original Petstore persistent layer with RIFE data layer
• introducing RIFE style validation into the PetStore application
