About the Authors

Joseph B. Ottinger is a writer, an arranger, and a young boy bearing quotes from Rush albums from the early 1980s. He's also a musician and developer, with interests in machine learning, general systems architecture, and transfer of knowledge—including editing stints at Java Developer Journal and TheServerSide.com, neither of which he's willing to mis-spell.

His interests tend to wander far and wide, but his attention is held by his wife and three sons, unless his feline overlords demand otherwise. He works very hard to prevent his cats from publishing, mostly because what they would write would center around food and, more often, being held in a lap beside a fire. It's dull reading.

Srinivas Guruzu is a developer who has been coding for more than 13 years. After completing his MS in mechanical engineering, Srinivas worked on high-traffic payment systems in the banking domain. He also has experience working in the insurance domain. He's worked with Spring and Hibernate building applications that integrate with other products as part of a large customer-enrollment and file-transmission system.

He enjoys designing and implementing the complex parts of software projects. Gary has a master's degree in computer science. His research interests include object-oriented technology, aspect-oriented technology, design patterns, software reuse, and domain-driven development.

Gary specializes in building enterprise applications on technologies including Spring, Hibernate, JPA, JSF, Portlet, AJAX, and OSGi.
