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.

Adding a project to Git

Git is a distributed repository. Unlike some of the other source management systems, Git maintains the complete local repository too. So you can perform activities such as check-out and check-in in the local repository without connecting to any remote repository. When you are ready to move your code to a remote repository, you can connect to it and push your files to the remote repository.

Note

If you are new to Git, take a look at the following documentation and tutorial:https://git-scm.com/doc and https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/.
