Transitioning to Java

By: Ken Fogel

Overview of this book

This comprehensive guide will help non-Java developers already using different languages transition from their current language to all things Java. The chapters are designed in a way that re-enforces a developer’s existing knowledge of object-oriented methodologies as they apply to Java. This book has been divided into four sections, with each section touching upon different aspects that’ll enable your effective transition. The first section helps you get to grips with the Java development environment and the Maven build tool for modern Java applications. In the second section, you’ll learn about Java language fundamentals, along with exploring object-oriented programming (OOP) methodologies and functional programming and discovering how to implement software design patterns in Java. The third section shows you how to code in Java on different platforms and helps you get familiar with the challenges faced on these platforms. In the fourth section, you’ll find out how you can manage and package your Java code. By the end of this Java programming book, you’ll have learned the core concepts of Java that’ll help you successfully transition from a different language to Java.

Creating a Docker image

Now, we are ready to create our own image. First, we need to stop the container we just used:

docker stop finance

In a terminal/console, enter the following command to create your new container, which will contain the Payara image:

docker create --name transition -p 8080:8080
         -p 4848:4848 payara/server-full:6.2023.2-jdk17

The name transition is arbitrary and can be anything you want. You now have a new container based on the Payara image. We want to modify this container to include the calculator application. The first step is to run this new container:

docker start transition

The most common error that occurs here is if another container is listening to the same ports. Ensure that any containers or images with Payara are not running. The Docker Desktop app can show you which containers or images are running.

Just as we did when we tested the Payara image, use your browser to open the...
