This book guides you through the new features and enhancements in each of the technologies comprising the Java EE platform. It appeals to a large base of Java EE 6 programmers who are highly motivated to migrate to the newly-released, Java EE 7 platform.

With the recent release of Java 2 Enterprise Edition 1.4, developers are being called on to add even greater, more complex levels of interconnectivity to their applications. To do this, Java developers need a clear understanding of how to apply the new APIs, and the capabilities and pitfalls in the program--which they can discover in this edition.

Master Java EE design pattern implementation to improve yourdesign skills and your application’s architecture Professional Java EE Design Patterns is the perfectcompanion for anyone who wants to work more effectively with JavaEE, and the only resource that covers both the theory andapplication of design patterns in solving real-world problems. Theauthors guide readers through both the fundamental and advancedfeatures of Java EE 7, presenting patterns throughout, anddemonstrating how they are used in day-to-day problem solving. As the most popular programming language in community-drivenenterprise software, Java EE provides an API and runtimeenvironment that is a superset of Java SE. Written for the juniorand experienced Java EE developer seeking to improve design qualityand effectiveness, the book covers areas including: Implementation and problem-solving with design patterns Connection between existing Java SE design patterns and newJava EE concepts Harnessing the power of Java EE in design patterns Individually-based focus that fully explores each pattern Colorful war-stories showing how patterns were used in thefield to solve real-life problems Unlike most Java EE books that simply offer descriptions orrecipes, this book drives home the implementation of the pattern toreal problems to ensure that the reader learns how the patternsshould be used and to be aware of their pitfalls. For the programmer looking for a comprehensive guide that isactually useful in the everyday workflow, Professional Java EEDesign Patterns is the definitive resource on the market.

While containers, microservices, and distributed systems dominate discussions in the tech world, the majority of applications in use today still run monolithic architectures that follow traditional development processes. This practical book helps developers examine long-established Java-based models and demonstrates how to bring these monolithic applications successfully into the future. Relying on their years of experience modernizing applications, authors Markus Eisele and Natale Vinto walk you through the steps necessary to update your organization's Java applications. You'll discover how to dismantle your monolithic application and move to an up-to-date software stack that works across cloud and on-premises installations. Learn cloud native application basics to understand what parts of your organization's Java-based applications and platforms need to migrate and modernize Understand how enterprise Java specifications can help you transition projects and teams Build a cloud native platform that supports effective development without falling into buzzword traps Find a starting point for your migration projects by identifying candidates and staging them through modernization steps Discover how to complement a traditional enterprise Java application with components on top of containers and Kubernetes

This practical guide shows you how to make your Java web applications more responsive and dynamic by incorporating new Ajaxian features, including suggestion lists, drag-and-drop, and more. Java developers can choose between many different ways of incorporating Ajax, from building JavaScript into your applications "by hand" to using the new Google Web Toolkit (GWT). Ajax on Java starts with an introduction to Ajax, showing you how to write some basic applications that use client-side JavaScript to request information from a Java servlet and display it without doing a full page reload. It also presents several strategies for communicating between the client and the server, including sending raw data, and using XML or JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) for sending more complex collections of data. The book then branches out into different approaches for incorporating Ajax, which include: The Prototype and script.aculo.us Javascript libraries, the Dojo and Rico libraries, and DWR Integrating Ajax into Java ServerPages (JSP) applications Using Ajax with Struts Integrating Ajax into Java ServerFaces (JSF) applications Using Google's GWT, which offers a pure Java approach to developing web applications: your client-side components are written in Java, and compiled into HTML and JavaScript Ajax gives web developers the ability to build applications that are more interactive, more dynamic, more exciting and enjoyable for your users. If you're a Java developer and haven't tried Ajax, but would like to get started, this book is essential. Your users will be grateful.
