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.

Deploying in the cloud

There are many advantages to deploying applications in the cloud, such as scaling the application as per its load, and all the benefits of not having to maintain your own data center or physical machines. Other than hosting the application and flexibility, most cloud platforms also provide services like a database, file storage, messaging, and so on, which can be easily integrated into your applications.

Deployment services provided by cloud platforms can be broadly classified as follows:

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS): In this service, you get virtual machines (VMs) with complete control. You can install any software on them and set up load balancing, storage, network, and security. It is like having your own data center in the cloud. Examples of IaaS are Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) and Google Compute Engine.
