Java 9 Programming Blueprints

By: Jason Lee

Overview of this book

Java is a powerful language that has applications in a wide variety of fields. From playing games on your computer to performing banking transactions, Java is at the heart of everything. The book starts by unveiling the new features of Java 9 and quickly walks you through the building blocks that form the basis of writing applications. There are 10 comprehensive projects in the book that will showcase the various features of Java 9. You will learn to build an email filter that separates spam messages from all your inboxes, a social media aggregator app that will help you efficiently track various feeds, and a microservice for a client/server note application, to name a few. The book covers various libraries and frameworks in these projects, and also introduces a few more frameworks that complement and extend the Java SDK. Through the course of building applications, this book will not only help you get to grips with the various features of Java 9, but will also teach you how to design and prototype professional-grade applications with performance and security considerations.

Taking Notes with Monumentum

Chapter 9. Taking Notes with Monumentum

For our eighth project, we will again do something new--we'll build a web app. Whereas all of our other projects have been command lines, GUIs, or some combination thereof, this project will be a single module consisting of a REST API and a JavaScript frontend, all built with an eye toward the current microservice trend.

To build the application, you'll learn about the following topics:

  • Some of the Java options to build microservice applications
  • Payara Micro and microprofile.io
  • Java API for RESTful Web Services
  • Document data stores and MongoDB
  • OAuth authentication (against Google, specifically)
  • JSON Web Tokens (JWT)

As you can see, this will be, in many ways, a much different type of project than what we've looked at to this point.
