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.

Singleton HA Services

In the earlier chapters, such as Chapter 2, Working with Dependency Injection, and Chapter 4, Implementing Business Logic, we have seen Singleton and how to use it within a Java virtual machine.
WildFly is able to use the Singleton mechanism even among several nodes of a cluster. WildFly can instantiate Singleton on a node and ensure that it is used within all nodes of the same cluster. This mechanism is called HA Singleton.

Since HA Singleton is physically instantiated on a single node, operations are performed exclusively on that node. If the cluster node breaks or stops, WildFly plans to move Singleton to a nearby node, thereby ensuring high availability of the service.

Infinispan allows Singleton to be replicated on the different nodes of the Cluster and guarantees some transparency to the clients that use it. The client, which can be an EJB, a Servlet...
