Overview of this book

Have you often wondered what is the best JBoss product to solve a specific problem? Do you want to get started with a specific JBoss product and know how to integrate different JBoss products in your IT Systems? Then this is the book for you. Through hands-on examples from the business world, this guide presents details on the major products and how you can build your own Enterprise services around the JBoss ecosystem. Starting with an introduction to the JBoss ecosystem, you will gradually move on to developing and deploying clustered application on JBoss Application Server, and setting up high availability using undertow or HA proxy loadbalancers. As you are moving to a micro service archicture, you will be taught how to package existing Java EE applications as micro service using Swarm or create your new micro services from scratch by coupling most popular Java EE frameworks like JPA, CDI with Undertow handlers. Next, you will install and configure JBoss Data grid in development and production environments, develop cache based applications and aggregate various data source in JBoss data virtualization. You will learn to build, deploy, and monitor integration scenarios using JBoss Fuse and run both producers/consumers applications relying on JBoss AMQ. Finally, you will learn to develop and run business workflows and make better decisions in your applications using Drools and Jboss BPM Suite Platform.

Custom Web Deployment using Undertow and Swarm

Undertow is the default web server included in the WildFly Application server. Undertow replaced the JBoss web server from WildFly 8. In Chapter 2, Developing and Hosting Scalable Web Applications, users implicitly used the embedded version of Undertow in JBoss AS to host an application. This chapter is about handling custom deployment scenarios by embedding Undertow in Java applications. The user will also learn how to set up highly available deployments and build microservices with Undertow.
This chapters is organized around the following topics:

  • Undertow--purpose and architecture
  • Undertow request life cycle and error handling.
  • Microservices with the Undertow API
  • Undertow reverse proxy and load balancing features
  • Configuring an Undertow subsystem in WildFly
  • Using WildFly-Swarm to package Java EE applications for microservices...
