Java EE 8 Design Patterns and Best Practices

By: Rhuan Rocha, Joao Carlos Purificação

Overview of this book

Patterns are essential design tools for Java developers. Java EE Design Patterns and Best Practices helps developers attain better code quality and progress to higher levels of architectural creativity by examining the purpose of each available pattern and demonstrating its implementation with various code examples. This book will take you through a number of patterns and their Java EE-specific implementations. In the beginning, you will learn the foundation for, and importance of, design patterns in Java EE, and then will move on to implement various patterns on the presentation tier, business tier, and integration tier. Further, you will explore the patterns involved in Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) and take a closer look at reactive patterns. Moving on, you will be introduced to modern architectural patterns involved in composing microservices and cloud-native applications. You will get acquainted with security patterns and operational patterns involved in scaling and monitoring, along with some patterns involved in deployment. By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently address common problems faced when developing applications and will be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size.

Explaining the concept of cloud-native applications


The cloud and its resources are increasingly becoming a part of life for businesses. In the past, cloud resources were used for solutions such as storage management, emails, documents, and photos. Nowadays, the deployment of enterprise applications in the cloud structure certainly points the way to be followed by companies.

The cloud has become one of the first strategies to consider when developing a business application. The big challenge here is to make this application use the features offered by the cloud, such as elasticity, scalability, and availability, for the benefit of the business. To start off with, monolithic applications were migrated and deployed in the cloud. Some gains were achieved such as greater management and control, as well as availability. But what we really want is an application integrated with the capabilities offered by the cloud, that is, to leverage the cloud computing resources to better solve the business...
