* Poor English version (In spite of my lack of English-skills, I write this post to share my inspiration triggered by Adrian's keynote. This is my first English post ever.)
As Toby expected, Adrian's keynote is very impressive and beyond my expectations. It is beginning with a comedy for Spring guys. Very interesting, but it's not the reason why I'm fascinated by Adrian's keynote. After the funny time, Adrian is explaining the Spring Integration sample application which was not much referred at Rod Johnson's keynote. He is illustrating a sample in the Spring Integration project esay. And then he demonstrates Grails application development. At first I can't see the reason why he show the demo-I showed the better demo at the Grails sesseion before. However, as he is finishing the web application to order coffee, I am realizing what I see and supprised at that. In the end of the demo I understand why my friend Toby expected the show, since I see the deploy process to the dm server. And, I know the phrase, "Grails is Spring" means beyond that Grails give the spring user another choice in terms of programming model. In the demo, not only the boundary between Spring and Grails is faint but also the discrimination is trivial. Grails is really Spring! Rod johnson make Adrian explain the differentating benefits of Grails,reusing the assets made by Java and Spring without efforts, against JRuby on Rails by asking a question.
Later on, he explains the vision, current status and future roadmap about dm server with Rob Harrop. Because it's their company's key area, they describe from the meaning of OSGi to issues on dm server in details. A final announcement is the partnership with VMWare. Wow~ I am full of admiration by the plot. If the company will succeed, dm Server and VMWare resolve the problems of deploying and administraing the enterprise systems.
After the keynote, I think that the picture behind the keynote remind me of Sun's BluePrint in the early EJB era. Now, SpringSource make a blue print for the enterprise computing instead of the former forces, such as Sun. I think "the Spring Way" will be likely to succeed better. In the Spring way, they collect the best-of-breed solution and make them valuable rather make somthing new whether is an oepn source or not. This is my earning for big money to invest to attend at this conference.
