If you are a Java developer who wants to learn about Java EE, this is the book for you. It's also ideal for developers who already have experience with the Java EE platform but would like to learn more about the new Java EE 7 features by analyzing fully functional sample applications using the new application server WildFly.
What you will learn
Design reliable and efficient applications based on Enterprise Java Beans and Context and Dependency Injection
Set up and manage your own WildFly application server for different development scenarios
Store your data without binding yourself to a specific database provider using the Java Persistence API
Create messagebased applications using Java Messaging System and integrate thirdparty systems into them using Java Connector Architecture
Distribute and secure your enterprise applications by using builtin mechanisms from WildFly and Java EE 7
Decide between using SOAP and JAXRS web services to create your external API
Discover the new side of web applications by exploring WebSockets and their usage scenarios
Test your application using a real environment with Arquillian
Easy to read, this book is very helpful for those who have a previous knowledge of Java language, and wants to start developing a complete enterprise application.

Ich habe das Buch als Hilfestellung zu einem Studienprojekt gekauft und als ich auf meine Kosten gekommen bin, war noch viel Buch übrig!Allerdings behandelt das Buch nicht die aktuelle Version von Wildfly, sondern 8.0. In meinem Fall war es aber die Richtige.Es wäre vielleicht noch anzumerken, dass das Buch ziemlich schlecht gebunden ist; bei meinem Exemplar fingen schon nach 10 Tagen an, einzelne Seite herunterzufallen. Ich habe den Kauf trotzdem nicht bereut.

This book not only explains the features of Wildfly: it also introduces J2EE main concepts and it does so in all the chapters. Indeed each chapter starts with a description of the functionality, and then proceeds with an example of such functionality.I had never used J2EE technlogies before, and this book surely helped me started with web application development with J2EE and Wildfly.What I appreciated most is the chapter on testing; it's only unfortunate that it comes really too late in the book (it's the last chapter); I would have preferred to see that chapter quite early in the book, and then see tests in all the chapters.I found the chapter about "Securing Wildfly Applications" a little bit confusing in many parts... I had the overall pictures but it probably tries to give too many details in the space of a single chapter, and most of such details are rather confusing.All in all, I think this is a nice book and I suggest it to anyone who's willing to start developing with Wildfly.

Nice Introduction about JAVA EE 7 APIs.Starts with the installation of tools in the chapter 01.Ideal for have a successful experience with the source code of each chapter.The chapter 2 explains how to use the wildfly web console and command line interface, configure anddeploy your applications. That's is a crash course of wildfly administration that sometimes appears in other book.Good idea for me.I enjoy find a book that explains step by step some topic. The creation of the lab using EJBs and Maven is amazing.CDI is not a easy topic. The explanation is simple and enables to understand the dependency injection in a JAVA EE 7 context.Configure and use Richfaces permit to understand how to use a MVC framework like JSF.The book continues with the Persistency and how to configure JPA, reverse engineered, use producers, servicesand controllers. Thats pretty cool for have the whole figure.The chapter 6 is my favorite because you can learn to use messaging with wildfly or external message brokers likeactivemq and hornetQ.If you are interestd in learn to configure and createweb services SOAP and REST the chapter 7 explains with granular detail these topics.If you are tired of see the chat demo with websockets. That's a great demo aboutpush notification of seats free or busy.Finally if you want to administrate your wildfly like a boss and monitor the health of it. The chapternine will be very util for you, because if you are a good programmer, you must to do control of your Java EE stack.I love PicketBox thanks to it chapter. Put secure to your applications of a easy way.I didn't find a chapter about Clustering in other books. This is a topic that many beginners doesn't know.For this reason, I enjoyed this chapter and learned new features.Create Batch applications is fundamental for long tasks in the enterprise world. Very nice tofind this lab in the chapter 12.I used Junit long time ago, but the testing chapter about arquillian shows me a great way for dointegral test. No more mocks.Finally the appendix about Jboss Forge similar to ROO but with focus to JAVA EE 7. Pretty cool.In general, I recommend this book if you think to develop Java EE applications seriously.Regards from PERU JUG.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?
We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.
When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
How accurate is the publication date?
The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
How will I know when new chapters are ready?
We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access.
