Presentations

Down-to-Earth Microservices with Java EE

5:00 PM MDT

Microservices seems to have become the new kid of the buzzword block in our ever colorful industry. In this session we will explore what microservices really within the relatively well established context of distributed computing/SOA, when they make sense and how to develop them using the lightweight, simple, productive Java EE programming model.

We'll explore microservices using a simple but representative example using Java EE. You'll see how the Java EE programming model and APIs like JAX-RS, WebSocket, JSON-P, Bean Validation, CDI, JPA, EJB 3, JMS 2 and JTA aligns with the concept of microservices.

It may or may not surprise you to learn in the end that you already know more about microservices than you realize and that it is an architectural style that does not really require you to learn an entirely new toolset beyond the ones you already have. You might even see that Java EE is a particularly powerful and elegant toolset for developing microservices.

Have You Seen Java EE Lately?

9:00 AM MDT

With a strong focus on annotations, minimalist configuration, intelligent defaults and Java centric type-safety, Java EE is one of the most productive full-stack development platforms around today. This very code centric workshop is a quick tour of the Java EE platform as it stands today. If you haven't seen Java EE for a while and want to catch up, this session is definitely for you.

We will start with the basic principals of what Java EE is and what it is not, overview the platform at a high level and then dive into each key API like JSF, CDI, EJB 3, JPA, JAX-RS, WebSocket and JMS. This is your chance to look at Java EE 7 in the context of a realistic application named Cargo Tracker, available with an MIT license at http://cargotracker.java.net.

We will also briefly take a look at the emerging horizons of Java EE 8.

Reactive Java EE - Let Me Count the Ways!

1:30 PM MDT

As our industry matures there is an increasing demand for high-throughput, low-latency systems heavily utilizing event-driven programming and asynchronous processing. This trend is rapidly converging on the somewhat well established but so-far not well understood term “Reactive”.

This session explores how Java EE as a whole aligns with this movement via features and APIs like JMS, MDB, EJB @Asynchronous, JAX-RS/Servlet/WebSocket async, CDI events, Java EE concurrency utilities and so on.

We will also see how these robust facilities can be made digestible even in the most complex cases for mere mortal developers through Java SE 8 Lambdas and Completable Futures.

EJB 3 in Action

EJB 3 in Action

by Debu Panda, Reza Rahman, Ryan Cuprak, and Michael Remijan

Summary

Building on the bestselling first edition, EJB 3 in Action, Second Edition tackles EJB 3.2 head-on, through numerous code samples, real-life scenarios, and illustrations. This book is a fast-paced tutorial for Java EE 6 business component development using EJB 3.2, JPA 2, and CDI. Besides covering the basics of EJB 3.2, this book includes in-depth EJB 3.2 internal implementation details, best practices, design patterns, and performance tuning tips.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the Book

The EJB 3 framework provides a standard way to capture business logic in manageable server-side modules, making it easier to write, maintain, and extend Java EE applications. EJB 3.2 provides more enhancements and intelligent defaults and integrates more fully with other Java technologies, such as CDI, to make development even easier.

EJB 3 in Action, Second Edition is a fast-paced tutorial for Java EE business component developers using EJB 3.2, JPA, and CDI. It tackles EJB head-on through numerous code samples, real-life scenarios, and illustrations. Beyond the basics, this book includes internal implementation details, best practices, design patterns, performance tuning tips, and various means of access including Web Services, REST Services, and WebSockets.

Readers need to know Java. No prior experience with EJB or Java EE is assumed.

What's Inside

  • Fully revised for EJB 3.2
  • POJO persistence with JPA 2.1
  • Dependency injection and bean management with CDI 1.1
  • Interactive application with WebSocket 1.0
