Developing Secure and Robust Enterprise Java Applications with Jakarta EE
Jakarta Enterprise Edition (EE) provides a full suite of specifications that allow developers to build secure and robust enterprise Java applications.
Formally known as Java EE, Jakarta EE has a rich history dating back to 1998. There are 42 specifications in the Jakarta EE ecosystem, however only 30 of these comprise the Jakarta EE Platform.
In this workshop, there will be a brief introduction to Jakarta EE and participants will build and deploy, step-by-step, their own enterprise Java application using Jakarta EE 11 and Payara Micro server. At each step in the process, participants will be introduced to a specification, such as Jakarta Contexts & Dependency Injection, Jakarta Security, Jakarta Data, Jakarta Persistence, Jakarta NoSQL and Jakarta Validation, to name a few.
Developing Secure and Robust Enterprise Java Applications with Helidon
In September 2018, Oracle introduced its new open-source framework, Project Helidon. Originally named J4C (Java for Cloud), Helidon is an open-source framework and collection of Java libraries for creating microservices-based applications.
Helidon, a Greek word for a swallow (a small bird with dark, glossy-blue backs, red throats, pale underparts and long tail streamers), is unique because it was designed to be simple and fast and ships with two programming models: Helidon SE and Helidon MP.
Helidon is also observable and resilient and offers full support for MicroProfile, GraalVM and persistence along with a virtual web server.
After a brief introduction to Helidon and its two programming models, we will build and deploy, step-by-step, an enterprise Java application using Helidon. At each step in the process, you will be introduced to a Helidon component.
Deploying Jakarta EE Applications with Payara Platform and Payara Cloud
Payara Server was created as a compatible replacement after commercial support from GlassFish was dropped in 2014. Payara Services Ltd, formed in 2016, offers innovative application server solutions for hosting mission critical Jakarta EE applications.
The Payara Platform includes two flavors. Payara Server is a cloud-native middleware application platform supporting mission critical production systems with reliable and secure deployments of Jakarta EE. Payara Micro is the lightweight middleware platform for containerized Jakarta EE application deployments.
Payara Cloud is the next generation of fully-managed cloud native application runtime that offers a flexible and powerful way to easily run Jakarta EE applications in the cloud.
This presentation will provide an introduction to the Payara Platform and Payara Cloud. There will be a review of a Jakarta EE application and demonstrate how to deploy it locally to Payara Server and Payara Micro, then in the cloud with Payara Cloud.
A Developer's Guide to Jakarta EE 11
Since its introduction in 2018 as Jakarta EE, the platform has evolved from: Jakarta EE 8, an open-source version of Java EE 8; to Jakarta EE 9, the "big bang" release; to Jakarta EE 10 that introduced the Core Profile.
And now, Jakarta EE 11, released on { month}, { day }, 2024, focuses on productivity and innovation and delivers: updates to 16 specifications; introduces a new specification, Jakarta Data; and sets the baseline to Java 21, the latest LTS release.
This presentation will provide a brief history of JavaEE/Jakarta EE, what's new in Jakarta EE 11, and a review of new and updated specifications with working example applications.
