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.

Implementing microservices using WildFly Swarm


WildFly Swarm ( http://wildfly-swarm.io/ ) is a MicroProfile implementation from Red Hat. It allows you to assemble an application container for running microservices with just the specifications you need.

Creating a WildFly Swarm project

Let’s use WildFly Swarm Project Generator at http://wildfly-swarm.io/generator/ to select the specifications we want to include in our application and to create the starter project:

Enter Group ID and Artifact ID as shown in the previous screenshot. In the Dependencies textbox, start typing features such as JPA or JAX-RS and then select them from the auto-suggested options. Make sure JPA EclipseLink , JAX-RS, and CDI are selected as dependencies. If you want to see all available dependencies and select from that list, then click theView all available dependencies link.

Click theGenerate Project button to create the project and download the ZIP file. This is a Maven project...
