About the Reviewers

Luca Masini was born in Florence in 1971. He is a senior software engineer and architect. He has been heavily involved from his first days in the Java world as a consultant for the major Italian banks, developing integration software and as a technical leader in many of the flagship projects. He worked for the adoption of Sun's J2EE standards in environments where COBOL was the leading language, and then he shifted his eyes toward open source, in particular IoC containers, ORM tools, and UI frameworks. As such, he adopted early products like Spring, Hibernate, and Struts, giving customers a technological advantage. Now he is working in enterprise ICT to simplify application development, thanks to Java EE 5, simplified standard, build tools, and project archetypes.

He also worked in the review of Google Web Toolkit GWT Java AJAX Programming, by Packt Publishing.

Xinyu Liu had his graduate educations at the George Washington University. As a Sun Microsystems certified enterprise architect and developer, he has intensive application design and development experience across JavaEE, JavaSE, and JavaME. He is a writer for Java.net and Javaworld.com on various topics, including JSF, Spring Security, Hibernate Search, and Spring Web Flow. He also has a physics PhD background with several publications in both high energy and condensed matter fields.
