Java EE 8 Development with Eclipse - Third Edition

By: Ram Kulkarni

Overview of this book

Java EE is one of the most popular tools for enterprise application design and development. With recent changes to Java EE 8 specifications, Java EE application development has become a lot simpler with the new specifications, some of which compete with the existing specifications. This guide provides a complete overview of developing highly performant, robust and secure enterprise applications with Java EE with Eclipse. The book begins by exploring different Java EE technologies and how to use them (JSP, JSF, JPA, JDBC, EJB, and more), along with suitable technologies for different scenarios. You will learn how to set up the development environment for Java EE applications and understand Java EE specifications in detail, with an emphasis on examples. The book takes you through deployment of an application in Tomcat, GlassFish Servers, and also in the cloud. It goes beyond the basics and covers topics like debugging, testing, deployment, and securing your Java EE applications. You'll also get to know techniques to develop cloud-ready microservices in Java EE.

Creating a database application using JDBC


In this section, we will use JDBC to create a simple course management web application. We will use the MySQL schema created in the previous section. Furthermore, we will create the web application using Tomcat; we have already seen how to create one in Chapter 2, Creating a Simple JEE Web Application. We have also learned how to use JSTL and JSF in the same chapter. In this section, we will use JSTL and JDBC to create the course management application, and in the next section, we will use JSF and JPA to create the same application. We will use Maven (as described in Chapter 2, Creating a Simple JEE Web Application) for project management, and of course, our IDE is going to be Eclipse JEE.

Creating a project and setting up Maven dependencies

We will perform the following steps to create the Maven project for our application:

  1. Create a Maven web project as described in Chapter 2, Creating a Simple JEE Web Application.
  2. Name the project CourseManagementJDBC...
