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 learned about two types of cloud deployment services provided by Amazon and Google. One is IaaS and the other is PaaS. PaaS lets you deploy your application in a pre-configured environment, while IaaS gives you complete control over deployment configuration. The IaaS offering from Amazon is called EC2 and the one from Google is called Compute Engine. The PaaS offering from Amazon is called Elastic Beanstalk and the one from Google is called App Engine.

We deployed the CourseManagement EJB application in the GlassFish Server in an instance of Amazon EC2. We then deployed the CourseManagementREST service in Elastic Beanstalk.

Then, we deployed a Docker container with the CourseManagement service in an instance of Google Compute Engine. Lastly, we deployed the CourseManagementREST service in Google App Engine.

In the next chapter, we will learn how to secure JEE applications.
