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.

Summary

In this chapter, we had a brief introduction to different JEE specifications for the presentation layer, business layer, and enterprise integration layer. We learned some of the important terminologies in Eclipse IDE. We then learned how to install Eclipse, Tomcat, Glassfish, MySQL, and MySQL Workbench. We are going to use these products in this book to develop JEE applications.

In the next chapter, we will configure the JEE server and create a simple application using servlets, JSPs, and JSFs. We will also learn how to use Maven to build and package the JEE applications.
