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.

Creating a JEE project using Maven


In this section, we will learn how to create JEE projects with EJBs using Maven. Creating Maven projects may be preferable to Eclipse JEE projects because builds can be automated. We have seen many details of creating EJBs, JPA entities, and other classes in the previous section, so we won't repeat all that information here. We have also learned how to create Maven projects in Chapter 2, Creating a Simple JEE Web Application, and Chapter 3, Source Control Management in Eclipse, so the basic details of creating a Maven project will not be repeated either. We will focus mainly on how to create EJB projects using Maven. We will create the following projects:

  • CourseManagementMavenEJBs: This project contains EJBs
  • CourseManagementMavenEJBClient: This project contains shared interfaces and objects between an EJB project and the client projects
  • CourseManagementMavenWAR: This is a web project containing a JSF page and a managed bean
  • CourseManagementMavenEAR: This project...
