What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

This book surprised me in a positive way. While expecting to read a manual for WildFly configuration and tuning, I found the book to be also a useful guide for the performance tuning of Java EE applications and JVM itself. It covers relational databases, their design and optimization, JDBC, ORM technologies, like Hibernate and JPA, Servlets and JSP, JMS, SOAP and REST Web services, and some other technologies. The content is arranged in a consistent way. The first chapter contains an interesting discussion of performance tuning essentials, approaches and methodologies used for optimization. The second chapter refers tools and applications useful for tuning and monitoring different parts of Java EE systems. The third chapter provides information about JVM optimization for the most common use cases. The next chapters describe performance tuning of the WildFly server and its subsystems, like EJB, persistence layer, Web container, Web applications and services. The last chapter provides receipts for tuning WildFly clusters. The book language is clear and precise. The content includes numerous illustrations, like schemes, tables, and screenshots. Some chapters contain brief technical reminders to refresh knowledge of the technologies being discussed. All these features add value to the book. Also, there are some interesting historical reviews, like WildFly's history or The evolution of web frameworks. In general, I think that this book can be useful for any Software engineer, for anybody who is interested in the performance tuning of computer applications.

The ContentBeside the title, the book is a more general resource for performance tuning around Java EE applications. Most of the chapters do not really rely on WildFly but give general hints about performance tuning essentials, approaches and methodologies used for optimization, like the first chapter. The second chapter covers tools for monitoring and tuning of various Java EE subsystems.Chapter three gives a introductory overview about general JVM tuning principles and applies to any JVM development. Beginning with chapter four it is going to be a bit closer to WildFly. EJBs are covered in chapter 5, JMS in chapter 9 and a general pattern here is to refer to Java EE concepts and apply the WildFly specific examples and extensions.Writing and StyleThe language is clear and precise. Additional illustrations, tables, and screenshots make it an easy and understandable read. Occasional basic information about Java EE components and concepts make it easy to follow for beginners, too.Conclusion and recommendationBeside the title who implies a very narrow focus, this is a book which can be a useful read for almost any Java EE developer out there. The explanations are good and helpful. If you ever had to deal with performance tuning you probably know most of those concepts but having them all in one place also makes this a perfect reference for the experienced developers.

Wildfly Performance Tuning presents concepts, tips, and suggestions related to performance of WildFly-hosted applications that include both Java EE standard performance ideas and ideas that are unique to tuning WildFly performance. Because WildFly is an implementation of Java EE, it's not surprising that some of the performance tuning concepts covered in this book are Java EE general and could be applied to other Java EE application servers as well."WildFly Performance Tuning" has ten chapters and the first, second, third chapters and sixth chapters have very little WildFly-specific detail in them. They are more general and mostly apply to other Java EE application servers as well. In some cases, they are even more general than Java EE, applying to Java SE and other languages in some cases. Chapter 3 is among the best introductory overviews I have seen of general JVM tuning principles in a single chapter and mostly applies to any JVM development (not limited to WildFly).Chapter 4 is a general WildFly tuning chapter and the remainder of the chapters focus on components/specifications of Java EE (and of WildFly). For example, Chapter 5 covers tuning EJBs on WildFly and Chapter 9 covers tuning JMS on WildFly. Most of these chapters provide WildFly-specific concepts and examples as well as Java EE-general concepts and examples.Packt Publishing provided me with a PDF version of this book that is the subject of this review, but I have received no compensation for the review.It was nice to have the color screen snapshots in the PDF version of this book. The code examples are well-formatted, but they do not have color coded syntax and do not include line numbers.

Some tips but there are many performance issues that not get addressed, like tools that could be used, how to make a plan for performance improvement issues, how to attack based on a strategy.

This book focuses on the latest iteration of the JBoss JEE server, Wildfly. Like many performance books, it offers advice that applies to performance in general, JEE specifically, and a particular technology (Wildfly) especially.The first three chapters deal with methodology for performance tuning, tools of the trade (especially open source tools), and JVM tuning. The first chapter contains material that will be largely familiar to anyone who's done much tuning in the past, but is good for those who are new to tuning. The second chapter outlines tools that will probably be familiar to experienced tuners. There are some good tips here. The third chapter explains JVM tuning. Combined, these three chapters make for a good background for Java tuning.The next six chapters deal with Wildfly. They introduce the server in general, then specifically address EJBs, Persistence/JPA, Web Container (Undertow), Web Applications and Web Services (to include REST), and JMS. These chapters include some really good expert-level tips. If you are a user of Wildfly (or the product version, Red Hat's EAP) then these chapters alone will probably make the book a worthwhile purchase. There's some good advice here for users of other JEE servers, but the real value here is for JBoss users.The final chapter covers Wildfly clustering. If you use Wildfly (or the product equivalent, EAP) for production use, you will want to know about clustering.I thought the book was very strong from a technical standpoint. Users of Wildfly (future EAP) will be quite pleased with the solid advice provided.All things considered, I'd recommend this book for any Wildfly / EAP user. Users of other JEE servers (WebSphere, WebLogic) might consider it, but won't get the same bang for the buck. Users of JEE in general should benefit strongly from the first chapters, but the application-specific tips won't all fit.About 300 pages, this one is worth the money if this is your work area.
