Master the new specifications that have been added in Java EE to develop applications without any hassle
Quick guide on the new features introduced in Java EE7

Description

For several years, the development of robust, scalable, and secured applications was a headache for software companies. They had to use proprietary solutions with non-standard methods. With Java EE, many of these solutions have been standardized, simplified, adapted to the needs of the developer, and made freely available to the community. Thus, it is now possible to develop truly robust, secure, and scalable applications at a lower cost using tools such as: Eclipse, NetBeans, and GlassFish.Java EE 7 First Look is a practical guide which, through the creation of an online pre-registration website, will introduce you to the novelties of Java EE 7 and give you ideas for utilizing them.Giving you an insight on new features introduced in Java EE 7, this book begins with the objectives of Java EE 7 and then covers the new specifications added in Java EE 7. Next, you will move on to the improvements made in APIs and EJBs and how to work with them. You will also learn how to ensure that the quality of data is maintained that has been manipulated by your application and gives you the opportunity to put a small part of AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming) in action.Finally, the book will give you some ideas to realize n-tier applications using the Java EE platform and will also provide some guidance for the integration of your Java EE application to heterogeneous systems with which your application will interact.After reading Java EE 7 First Look, you'll have a good idea about the changes brought in by Java EE 7, as well as how to make the best use of these to build a large-scale application.

Who is this book for?

Given the main objectives pursued, this book targets three groups of people with a knowledge of the Java language. They are: Beginners in the Java EE platform who would like to have an idea about the main specifications of Java EE 7 Developers who have experimented with previous versions of Java EE and who would like to explore the new features of Java EE 7 Building architects who want to learn how to put together the various Java EE 7 specifications for building robust and secure enterprise applications

An easy read, this JEE book gives the reader a few useful things:- An easy introduction to many parts of the JEE stack, including simple examples- An overview of what's new in JEE 7, based on the JSR specs that made up JEE 7.Easy wording and clear examples make this a simple read. A good book for the Enterprise Java developer's continuing education.

Java EE 7 First Look is best suited for developers who have worked with J2EE or Java EE previously and want a quick introduction to the new features of Java EE 7. In 9 chapters and approximately 165 pages of prose, code listings, and screen snapshots, Java EE 7 First Look examines the most significant specifications that make up Java EE by first looking at the history of each specification before going through an example (usually code-based with text descriptions) of applying that specification to a common use case. After brief review of each specification and an example of using each specification, the author typically references the Java Specification Request (JSR) that introduces new features to that specification for Java EE 7 and often details the key improvements to that specification that come with Java EE 7.Although the new features of Java EE 7 are introduced after a review of the particular specification to which the new features are most closely associated, this review is typically relatively brief and will probably be best for those who have at least some minimal experience with J2EE or Java EE. I would not recommend this book as the sole book for someone with no J2EE/Java EE experience to learn Java EE, but it might be a good supplement for someone using a more thorough Java EE introductory book or reference that was written for an earlier version of Java EE. The review portions that precede each discussed new set of features are probably sufficient even for readers who have not used J2EE or Java EE for a while, but may not be sufficient by themselves for someone who has never used J2EE or Java EE.Some of the examples in Java EE 7 First Look depend on NetBeans 7.3.1 or newer, GlassFish 4 b89 or later, and MySQL 5.5 or later, but most of the examples don't have any particular requirement other than a Java EE 7-compliant application server and Java SE 7.The new features of Java EE 7 are described in various places online including the Java EE 7 Tutorial, but Java EE 7 First Look organizes the Java EE 7 enhancements and presents them in a manner that allows the reader to quickly ascertain what Java EE 7 brings to Java EE development.I read the PDF version of Java EE 7 First Look . Although there are a few screen snapshots with color that probably appear better in the electronic version of the book, most of the images are black or gray scale and so likely look fine in the printed book .

The main topic of this book is to provide information about new features of the latest Java EE 7 release. The first chapter contains an extensive review of Java EE landscape and evolution, helping to better understand the newest Java EE platform objectives. The second chapter focuses on new technologies and specifications that have been added in the release.The book is written with clear and precise language, with recalling of software engineering definitions where appropriate. The book text contains useful tip and warning sections; new and important words are highlighted. The content is well-structured. Each chapter contains standard sections, like "What is ...", "Why ...", "... in Action", etc. For each of discussed technologies, a reference to the corresponding JSR document is provided, which helps to quickly get additional information on the topic. Discussed topics are illustrated by code examples, schemes, tables and diagrams.In Chapter 5, a realistic enterprise-level project is introduced. This project gets incrementally developed in the following chapters, providing practical examples of how to use discussed technologies in real development process.All the examples presented in this book can be run with the usage of well-known free software like NetBeans IDE, GlassFish application server, and MySQL database.To my mind, this book can be useful for all software engineers, who are working on development of modern, high-performance Java EE applications.

Java EE 7 First Look has 9 chapters, 188 pages, discussing on topics like Concurrency Utilities, new Batch Apis, JSOn processing, Web Sockets, Servlet, JSF, Expression Language, JPA, JTA, EJB, JCA, JMS, Annotations, CDI, Validators, Interceptors and Security.As the title suggests it's a quick look to what's new in JEE 7. Author have beautifully explained various topics in concise manner with nice examples & code snipptes. Obviousness it's not a book on details implementation of each topics specified above but a good read.
