Kotlin for Enterprise Applications using Java EE

Overview of this book

Kotlin was developed with a view to solving programmers’ difficulties and operational challenges. This book guides you in making Kotlin and Java EE work in unison to build enterprise-grade applications. Together, they can be used to create services of any size with just a few lines of code and let you focus on the business logic. Kotlin for Enterprise Applications using Java EE begins with a brief tour of Kotlin and helps you understand what makes it a popular and reasonable choice of programming language for application development, followed by its incorporation in the Java EE platform. We will then learn how to build applications using the Java Persistence API (JPA) and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB), as well as develop RESTful web services and MicroServices. As we work our way through the chapters, we’ll use various performance improvement and monitoring tools for your application and see how they optimize real-world applications. At each step along the way, we will see how easy it is to develop enterprise applications in Kotlin. By the end of this book, we will have learned design patterns and how to implement them using Kotlin.

Message acknowledgement

So far, we have learned how messages can be delivered from one point to another. We have used queues and topics to send the messages. Once the messages are consumed by the consumer, the messages will be removed from the messaging provider. Once the message is processed by the consumer, it can send an acknowledgement back to the messaging provider, so that the provider takes the messages off the queue or the topics. There are different ways to send this acknowledgement:

  • Auto acknowledge: In auto acknowledgement, when the message is received by the client, the message will be removed from the JMS provider. The message will be automatically removed from the queue or the topic once it is processed by the consumer.
  • Duplicates OK: In duplicates OK mode, the consumer can receive duplicate messages.
  • Client acknowledgment: In client acknowledgment mode, the client...
