Become a pro Java Developer and move ahead of the crowd with this advanced practical guide.

Description

The JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) has been one of the most popular tools for Java developers to create modular, cloud-ready, and modern applications. It has achieved a reputation for architectural excellence and technical savvy, making it a solid and efficient environment for delivering your applications. The book will first introduce application server configuration and the management instruments that can be used to control the application server. Next, the focus will shift to enterprise solutions such as clustering, load balancing, and data caching; this will be the core of the book. We will also discuss services provided by the application server, such as database connectivity and logging. We focus on real-world example configurations and how to avoid common mistakes. Finally, we will implement the knowledge gained so far in terms of Docker containers and cloud availability using RedHat's OpenShift.

What you will learn

•Configure services using the Command Line Interface

•Deliver fault tolerant server configurations

•Harden the application server with advanced techniques

•Expand the application server s horizon with tools such as like Docker/OpenShift

•Create enterprise ready configurations using clustering techniques.

•Deliver advanced security solutions and learn how to troubleshoot common network/performance issues

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

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. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Being a longtime user and admin of the JBoss/WildFly Application Server since its early days, I recently bought a copy of the most current book on that topic: “Mastering JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7” by Francesco Marchioni and Luigi Fugaro, to keep me up to date. And I was not disappointed, in fact, I was delighted by this appealing combination:1. This book is written by experts on the subject who easily explain even complex topics with clean and pragmatic examples2. There are new important features of JBoss which are of course presented in the book. Many of them have been in earlier versions of JBoss but have now matured to be ready to be used in production.What I really like is the strong focus on JBoss CLI instead of the Web-UI, because the CLI is what helps you most: at the end of the day, you want to automate as much of your configuration as possible. After all, that’s what computers are for…I admit that during the chapters on standalone and domain mode, I missed one or two real world scenarios where domain mode fits better than standalone mode. What are the benefits of having just one deployment for all servers in a domain in contrast to a clustered standalone configuration, where I could run different deployments at the same time for example to achieve a smooth migration?But to me, the most exciting chapters are the ones about security and the integration with Kerberos and LDAP: if you have a lots of cloud instances, you definitely need a central system for authentication and authorization like those two. It was there in the past but not the best documented area of JBoss. Now finally this book comes with excellent examples and includes even a section about the ultimate killer feature: Single Sign On (SSO). Every day at work I am really missing SSO so much and often I encounter Semi-SSO where the same credentials work for several systems, but they have to be entered manually into each of them. And here I see clear advantages of JBoss EAP 7 over just runnable jar-files like Spring Boot or other embedded web servers: it’s already bundled and tested with JBoss and now, with this new book, the configuration is not secret anymore. After that, the authors even give a preview of these features in the next release of JBoss EAP, which uses the new Elytron security framework instead of Picketbox. And this does not stop with human users but think of all the system users, too: modern distributed systems where many RESTful services are called which are traditionally cumbersome to secure, but the integration with Kerberos/LDAP offers again an elegant solution. So if you are thinking about your new microservices architecture, this is one imported building block, if you want to be in control of exactly who can use your services.Finally, the book closes with two chapters on running the application server in Docker containers and in the OpenShift cloud. Again, these chapters come with detailed examples to get you up and running quickly.Maybe a chapter about how to run automated tests with an application server would have been nice, since everybody has nowadays a delivery pipeline or how to debug java ee7 applications in an IDE where Spring Boot has a long time advantage.To make a long story short, if you want to take a deeper look at a real state of the art application server, this book is an excellent guide that I can clearly recommend.

There's a lot of detail in the book, yet it is easy to understand and uses illustrations well. The authors and reviewer have done a great job in covering so much in such a small space. It will be great for those who are new to EAP as well as being a useful reference guide for the more experienced and those migrating from EAP 6. This book covers all you need to know about EAP as well as an introduction to using EAP 7 with Docker and Openshift. If you are interested in becoming an JBoss EAP 7 master - this is the book for you.

Hardly any diagrams to explain the concepts. Many keywords appear before they are explained. And a lot of cutpasted screen outputs that are irrelevant to the context.
