In Pro CDI 2 in Java EE 8, use CDI and the CDI 2.0 to automatically manage the life cycle of your enterprise Java, Java EE, or Jakarta EE application’s beans using predefined scopes and define custom life cycles using scopes. In this book, you will see how you can implement dynamic and asynchronous communication between separate beans in your application with CDI events. The authors explain how to add new capabilities to the CDI platform by implementing these capabilities as extensions. They show you how to use CDI in a Java SE environment with the new CDI initialization and configuration API, and how to dynamically modify the configuration of beans at application startup by using dynamic bean building. This book is compatible with the new open source Eclipse Jakarta EE platform and tools. What You Will Learn Use qualifier annotations to inject specific bean implementations Programmatically retrieve bean instances from the CDI container in both Java SE and Java EE when injecting them into an object isn’t possible Dynamically replace beans using the @Alternative annotation to, for example, replace a bean with a mock version for testing Work with annotation literals to get instances of annotations to use with the CDI API Discover how scopes and events interact Who This Book Is For Those who have some experience with CDI, but may not have experience with some of the more advanced features in CDI.

Learn to use the Java Persistence API (JPA) and other related APIs as found in the Java EE 8 platform from the perspective of one of the specification creators. A one-of-a-kind resource, this in-depth book provides both theoretical and practical coverage of JPA usage for experienced Java developers. Authors Mike Keith, Merrick Schincariol and Massimo Nardone take a hands-on approach, based on their wealth of experience and expertise, by giving examples to illustrate each concept of the API and showing how it is used in practice. The examples use a common model from an overarching sample application, giving you a context from which to start and helping you to understand the examples within an already familiar domain. After completing Pro JPA 2 in Java EE 8, you will have a full understanding of JPA and be able to successfully code applications using its annotations and APIs. The book also serves as an excellent reference guide.

Get the deep insights you need to master efficient architectural design considerations and solve common design problems in your enterprise applications. Key Features The benefits and applicability of using different design patterns in JAVA EE Learn best practices to solve common design and architectural challenges Choose the right patterns to improve the efficiency of your programs Book Description Patterns are essential design tools for Java developers. Java EE Design Patterns and Best Practices helps developers attain better code quality and progress to higher levels of architectural creativity by examining the purpose of each available pattern and demonstrating its implementation with various code examples. This book will take you through a number of patterns and their Java EE-specific implementations. In the beginning, you will learn the foundation for, and importance of, design patterns in Java EE, and then will move on to implement various patterns on the presentation tier, business tier, and integration tier. Further, you will explore the patterns involved in Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) and take a closer look at reactive patterns. Moving on, you will be introduced to modern architectural patterns involved in composing microservices and cloud-native applications. You will get acquainted with security patterns and operational patterns involved in scaling and monitoring, along with some patterns involved in deployment. By the end of the book, you will be able to efficiently address common problems faced when developing applications and will be comfortable working on scalable and maintainable projects of any size. What you will learn Implement presentation layers, such as the front controller pattern Understand the business tier and implement the business delegate pattern Master the implementation of AOP Get involved with asynchronous EJB methods and REST services Involve key patterns in the adoption of microservices architecture Manage performance and scalability for enterprise-level applications Who this book is for Java developers who are comfortable with programming in Java and now want to learn how to implement design patterns to create robust, reusable and easily maintainable apps.
