Summary
This chapter highlighted the role that HTTP plays in Java web application development. The purpose of HTTP was stated as being to facilitate dynamic web applications. Our coverage of this topic showed that HTTP can be used efficiently and securely. We also looked at Java web applications, API integrations, security, and performance optimization strategies. Since the fields of HTTP and Java web application development are so vibrant, it is important to be aware of changes and updates as they become available.
The next chapter, Chapter 12, Frameworks for Optimization, introduces strategies for using asynchronous input/output, buffered input/output, and batch operations to create high-performance Java applications. The chapter also covers frameworks for microservices and cloud-native applications.
