SAN FRANCISCO — October 17, 2006 — Terracotta, Inc., a leader in delivering groundbreaking solutions for enterprise Java scalability, today announced it is hosting a free Webinar for Java developers — “How to Cluster with Low Overhead and Still Use Standard JDK1.5” — on Wednesday, October 25, 2006, 8:00 a.m. – 9:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time. To sign up, visit the Terracotta Website at www.terracottatech.com/webinar_masterworker.sht[...]. Participation is limited to the first 250 registrants.

Designed for application developers, this Webinar focuses on the Master/Worker pattern — one of the most useful parallel programming design patterns in use today. The creator of AspectWerkz AOP framework and senior engineer at Terracotta, Jonas Bonér, will host the interactive session, where attendees will learn about the identifying characteristics of the pattern and how best to use it in the real world.

Bonér will present how to build the Master/Worker pattern using standard JDK1.5, and how to cluster it at runtime using Terracotta. Following that, he will cover the production implications of operating and scaling a reliable work management framework.

Attendees will learn:

• How to identify cases where the Master/Worker pattern is the right solution

• How to build a distributed Master/Worker pattern with 100% POJO-based Java

• How to cluster the JVM and effectively use Network Attached Memory

This Webinar is part of an ongoing series of events sponsored by Terracotta, designed to educate Java professionals about the technology and benefits of clustering at the JVM level, instead of at the application level. Past recorded events can be accessed at www.terracottatech.com/events.shtml.
