Mastering Java EE Development with WildFly

Key Features

• Master Java EE development with the latest WildFly 10 application server.
• Integrate with JSF and JMS and use efficient load balancing techniques to create real-time apps
• Integrate your backend JavaScript code seamlessly into Java applications

Book Description

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.

What you will learn

• Configure the development environment along with native and cloud installation of WildFly
• Write a DB schema and the relative entities and how to use the relationships between the entities
• Analyze with examples all the java annotations to manage the EJB and the configuration to get better performances
• Write different REST services through the EJB
• Implement Web sockets 1.0 and know why and when use the web sockets
• Work with Active MQ and write JMS clients to manage the authentication and authorization in the clients
• Configure the mail server through the wildfly console
• Learn how and when to use a new feature JAX-RS 2.0, which is the asynchronous call through REST
• Use the new JSF features of Wildfly 10 such as Mojarra 2.2, JSF 2.2, Richfaces 4.5
