Developing Middleware in Java EE 8

Overview of this book

Middleware is the infrastructure in software based applications that enables businesses to solve problems, operate more efficiently, and make money. As the use of middleware extends beyond a single application, the importance of having it written by experts increases substantially. This book will help you become an expert in developing middleware for a variety of applications. The book starts off by exploring the latest Java EE 8 APIs with newer features and managing dependencies with CDI 2.0. You will learn to implement object-to-relational mapping using JPA 2.1 and validate data using bean validation. You will also work with different types of EJB to develop business logic, and with design RESTful APIs by utilizing different HTTP methods and activating JAX-RS features in enterprise applications. You will learn to secure your middleware with Java Security 1.0 and implement various authentication techniques, such as OAuth authentication. In the concluding chapters, you will use various test technologies, such as JUnit and Mockito, to test applications, and Docker to deploy your enterprise applications. By the end of the book, you will be proficient in developing robust, effective, and distributed middleware for your business.

Delving into Java EE 8

Welcome to our developing middleware solutions using Java EE 8 journey. In this book, we'll study and practice how to perfectly design and implement middleware solutions using the Java EE 8 APIs.

Whether you're a newbie or an existing user of Java EE, we've tried to make this book useful to you. For those who are new to Java EE, at the beginning of each chapter, we introduce the essential technical concepts that will enable you to move on your way. Also, for those who are already using Java EE, we've provided separate chapters for the new APIs that were introduced in release 8, in addition to mentioning in each chapter what new features were introduced for those existing APIs.

In this chapter, we will look into the following topics:

  • What is Java EE?
  • Chapter roadmap
  • Required software 
  • Book project
