Jakarta EE Application Development - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Jakarta EE stands as a robust standard with multiple implementations, presenting developers with a versatile toolkit for building enterprise applications. However, despite the advantages of enterprise application development, vendor lock-in remains a concern for many developers, limiting flexibility and interoperability across diverse environments. This Jakarta EE application development guide addresses the challenge of vendor lock-in by offering comprehensive coverage of the major Jakarta EE APIs and goes beyond the basics to help you develop applications deployable on any Jakarta EE compliant runtime. This book introduces you to JSON Processing and JSON Binding and shows you how the Model API and the Streaming API are used to process JSON data. You’ll then explore additional Jakarta EE APIs, such as WebSocket and Messaging, for loosely coupled, asynchronous communication and discover ways to secure applications with the Jakarta EE Security API. Finally, you'll learn about Jakarta RESTful web service development and techniques to develop cloud-ready microservices in Jakarta EE. By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills to craft secure, scalable, and cloud-native microservices that solve modern enterprise challenges.

Working with message queues

As we mentioned earlier, message queues are used when our Jakarta Messaging code uses the PTP messaging domain. For the PTP messaging domain, there is usually one message producer and one message consumer. The message producer and the message consumer don’t need to be running concurrently in order to communicate. The messages placed in the message queue by the message producer will stay in the message queue until the message consumer executes and requests the messages from the queue.

Sending messages to a message queue

The following example illustrates how to add messages to a message queue:

package com.ensode.jakartaeebook.ptpproducer;
//imports omitted for brevity
@JMSDestinationDefinition(
    name = "java:global/queue/JakartaEEBookQueue",
    interfaceName = "jakarta.jms.Queue"
)
@Named
@RequestScoped
public class MessageSender {
  @Resource
  private ConnectionFactory...
