Mastering Java EE Development with WildFly

By: Luca Stancapiano

Overview of this book

Packed with rich assets and APIs, Wildfly 10 allows you to create state-of-the-art Java applications. This book will help you take your understanding of Java EE to the next level by creating distributed Java applications using Wildfly. The book begins by showing how to get started with a native installation of WildFly and it ends with a cloud installation. After setting up the development environment, you will implement and work with different WildFly features, such as implementing JavaServer Pages. You will also learn how you can use clustering so that your apps can handle a high volume of data traffic. You will also work with enterprise JavaBeans, solve issues related to failover, and implement Java Message Service integration. Moving ahead, you will be working with Java Naming and Directory Interface, Java Transaction API, and use ActiveMQ for message relay and message querying. This book will also show you how you can use your existing backend JavaScript code in your application. By the end of the book, you’ll have gained the knowledge to implement the latest Wildfly features in your Java applications.

Sharing the Web Sessions

Earlier, in Chapter 7, Implementing WebSockets, Chapter 13, Working with Servlets and JSP, and Chapter 14, Writing a JSF Application, we focused on the Web, where we showed the web session. The web session is a temporary memory where we share the information tied to a single user, such as the navigation on the site, the login information, and all the information of the application important to give a good interaction between the user and the application. In this chapter, we will introduce the concept of clustering, and we will cover the following:

  • Clustering definition
  • WildFly configuration
  • Introduction to Infinispan
  • Deploy and develop distributable web applications
  • Monitor the clustering through the web console
