Developing Middleware in Java EE 8

Overview of this book

Middleware is the infrastructure in software based applications that enables businesses to solve problems, operate more efficiently, and make money. As the use of middleware extends beyond a single application, the importance of having it written by experts increases substantially. This book will help you become an expert in developing middleware for a variety of applications. The book starts off by exploring the latest Java EE 8 APIs with newer features and managing dependencies with CDI 2.0. You will learn to implement object-to-relational mapping using JPA 2.1 and validate data using bean validation. You will also work with different types of EJB to develop business logic, and with design RESTful APIs by utilizing different HTTP methods and activating JAX-RS features in enterprise applications. You will learn to secure your middleware with Java Security 1.0 and implement various authentication techniques, such as OAuth authentication. In the concluding chapters, you will use various test technologies, such as JUnit and Mockito, to test applications, and Docker to deploy your enterprise applications. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in developing robust, effective, and distributed middleware for your business.

Sending an email with attachments


In the following example, we are going to show how to send an email message with an attachment. This is done by using what's called a multi-part message, which is an extension to the mail protocol to include messages with different parts, where one or more of them are file parts with binary data, rather than regular text. The concept of multi-part in the web is very popular in associating files with a specific request. Remember that we have used multi-part-style requests in the JAX-RS chapter, to upload a file to a RESTful service:

          .... 
    Message message = new MimeMessage(session); 
 
    // filling mail attributes 
    message.setFrom(new InternetAddress(from)); 
    message.setRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, 
            InternetAddress.parse(to)); 
    message.setSubject("Mail Subject"); 
 
    // creeate a multipart content object 
    Multipart multipart = MimeMultipart(); 
     
    // create a message part for mail body 
    BodyPart...
