The upcoming Java 9 module system will affect existing applications and offer new ways of creating modular and maintainable applications. With this hands-on book, Java developers will learn not only about the joys of modularity, but also about the patterns needed to create truly modular and reliable applications. Authors Sander Mak and Paul Bakker teach you the concepts behind the Java 9 module system, along with the new tools it offers. You’ll also learn how to modularize existing code and how to build new Java applications in a modular way. Understand Java 9 module system concepts Master the patterns and practices for building truly modular applications Migrate existing applications and libraries to Java 9 modules Use JDK 9 tools for modular development and migration

Explores how to incorporate modular design thinking into Java application development.

What is OSGi? Simply put, OSGi is a standardized technology that allowsdevelopers to create the highly modular Java applications that are required forenterprise development. OSGi lets you install, start, stop, update, or uninstallcomponents without taking down your entire system. The interest in OSGi basedapplications has exploded since major vendors like Sun, Spring, Oracle,BEA, and IBM have gotten behind the standard. OSGi in Action is a comprehensive guide to OSGi with two primary goals.First, it provides a clear introduction to OSGi concepts with examples that arerelevant both for architects and developers. Then, it explores numerous practicalscenarios and techniques, answering questions like: How much of OSGi doyou actually need? How do you embed OSGi inside other containers? What arethe best practices for moving legacy systems to OSGi? Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

Summary Spring Integration in Action is a hands-on guide to Spring-based messaging and integration. After addressing the core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing, the book turns to the adapters that enable integration with external systems. Readers will explore real-world enterprise integration scenarios using JMS, Web Services, file systems, and email. They will also learn about Spring Integration's support for working with XML. The book concludes with a practical guide to advanced topics such as concurrency, performance, system-management, and monitoring. The book features a foreword by Rod Johnson, Founder of the Spring Network. About the Technology Spring Integration extends the Spring Framework to support the patterns described in Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf's Enterprise Integration Patterns. Like the Spring Framework itself, it focuses on developer productivity, making it easier to build, test, and maintain enterprise integration solutions. About the Book Spring Integration in Action is an introduction and guide to enterprise integration and messaging using the Spring Integration framework. The book starts off by reviewing core messaging patterns, such as those used in transformation and routing. It then drills down into real-world enterprise integration scenarios using JMS, Web Services, filesystems, email, and more. You'll find an emphasis on testing, along with practical coverage of topics like concurrency, scheduling, system management, and monitoring. This book is accessible to developers who know Java. Experience with Spring and EIP is helpful but not assumed. Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book. What's Inside Realistic examples Expert advice from Spring Integration creators Detailed coverage of Spring Integration 2 features About the Authors Mark Fisher is the Spring Integration founder and project lead. Jonas Partner, Marius Bogoevici, and Iwein Fuld have all been project committers and are recognized experts on Spring and Spring Integration.
