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.

Chapter 12. Microservices

In the previous chapter, we learned how to profile Java applications in order to troubleshoot performance issues.

In this chapter, we will learn how to develop JEE microservices using Eclipse. We will also learn how to deploy microservices in Docker containers. We will develop simple microservices for our Course Management use case.

We will cover the following topics:

  • Introduction to microservices and Eclipse MicroProfile
  • Developing JEE microservices using the WildFly Swarm and Spring Boot frameworks
  • Introduction to Docker and Docker Compose
  • Deploying microservices in Docker containers
