  Description
  For many years, Java EE has been an important platform for mission-critical enterprise applications. To accelerate the development of enterprise applications for a cloud-native world, leading software vendors collaborated to transfer Java EE technologies to the Eclipse Foundation, where they will evolve under the Jakarta EE brand. This book will be your comprehensive guide to creating Jakarta EE applications and microservices with Microprofile. The book begins with an introduction to Jakarta EE and quickly goes on to teach you about the various databases and their advantages. After this, you will explore the JNoSQL and Jmoordb frameworks to understand how to build Jakarta EE applications with NoSQL databases. Moving forward, you'll explore Eclipse MicroProfile and see how it helps build microservices with Java. Also, you will learn about various development applications such as Java Server Faces, Eclipse Krazos, PrimeFaces, Vaadin, and understand how to integrate them with your backend. Towards the end, you will learn about security, testing, and understanding continuous integration. What You Will Learn
  
• Learn how to use the Jmoordb framework for Jakarta EE applications.
• Optimize Enterprise Java for microservices architecture using Eclipse MicroProfile.
• Create Web applications using Java Server Faces.
• Building a modern web application using Vaadin.
• Learn how to implement security using IdentityStore and JWT.
• Create CI/CD pipelines for Jakarta EE applications.
•

CHAPTER 1

Jakarta EE Platform

Today the Java EE/Jakarta EE platform has proven to be one of the leading platforms for developing cloud applications.

This chapter is an introduction to The Jakarta EE platform. It will present a feedback of its history of the platform, a set of specifications and simple examples that will help you to use the potential of the platform for building enterprise applications ready for use in the cloud.

Numbered APIs and frameworks will be used to demonstrate our goal: Jakarta NoSQL, Jmoordb, Vaadin, and Java Server Faces.

Structure

• Jakarta EE platform
• Context and Dependency Injection (CDI) 2.0 (JSR 365)
• Enterprise Java Beans 3.2 (JSR-345)
• Java Servlet 4.0 (JSR-369)
• Java API for RESTful Web Services JAX-RS 2.1 (JSR-370)
• Java EE Security API 1.0 (JSR -375)
• The Java API for JSON Binding JSON-B 1.0 (JSR-367)
• JavaServer Faces JSF 2.3 (JSR-372)
• Java Persistence API 2.2 (JSR-338)

Objective

This chapter is an introduction to the APIs that are part of the Java Enterprise Edition platform and Jakarta EE.

Jakarta EE platform

Jakarta EE is a platform that offers a set of components and APIs for the development of Java business applications. It orients towards the support of HTML5, Enterprise Java Beans, Web Services, JSON, Databases, Microservices, WebSocket among others.

These components are based on the combination of specifications (JSR) coming from the ecosystem of JavaEE platform led by Java Community Process (http://jcp.org) but rebranded under Eclipse Jakarta EE and Eclipse Microprofile standards (https://microprofile.io/); formed by companies, user groups, communities, which establish consensus on them, to be adaptable to the new requirements of the industry.

The APIs that are part of the specifications are known as Java Specification Request (JSR).

History

The Java EE platform has incorporated major changes in recent years, allowing a simpler development, performance improvements through reusable components resulting in lighter and scalable applications adapting to environments such as cloud, and Microservices.

We will briefly review the evolution of the platform over the last few years, showing each version along with the corresponding specifications.

The following table shows the different versions of the platform:

Version	Description	Date
JPE Project	First version	May 1998
J2EE 1.2	Servlet, JSP,EJB,JMS,RMI,IIOP	Dec 12, 1999
J2EE 1.3	CMP, Connector Architecture	Sept 24, 2001
J2EE 1.4	Web Services, Mgmt, Deployment, Async Connector	Nov, 11, 2003
Java EE 5	Easy of Development Annotations, EJB 3.0, JPA, JSF, JAXB, JAX-WS, Stax, SAAJ	May 11, 2006.
Java EE 6	Extensibility Profiles, Ease of Dev, EJB 3.1 Lite, RESTFull, CDI, JAX-RS	Dec 20, 2009
Java EE 7	JMS 2.0,Batch, Web Socket, JSON	May 28, 2013
Java EE 8	CDI 2.0, JSON-B 1.0, Java Servlet 4.0,JAX-RS 2.1, JSF 2.3,JSON-P 1.1, Java EE Security API 1.0, Bean Validation 2.0,Common Annotations 1.3, Java Persistence 2.2, Java API for WebSocket 1.1, Java Mail 1.6	Sep 21, 2017

Table 1.1

From JavaEE to Jakarta EE

Over time companies and developer communities began to show concern for the evolution of the platform. Faced with the slowness in the evolution of specifications two important initiatives emerged in recent years; on the one hand, Microprofile (http://microprofile.io) and on another one Java EE Guardian (https://javaee-guardians.io/).

Microprofile brings an innovative standardization path to produce new APIs based on a consensus of large companies intending to optimize Java business applications to support Microservices. In 2017, Reza Rahman and Dr. James Gosling, created the Java EE Guardian formed by enthusiasts, to achieve a more open and agile process to implement new advances in the Java EE platform.

These efforts led Oracle to ...
