Java EE Technology Stack

|
In this article, we will examine the components of Java EE technology stack and historically look at the new comer components and version changes in the components along with the Java EE versions. I will use this article as the umbrella for Java EE stack and update for every new features added to Java EE.

About Java Enterprise Edition

Under the container architecture named Java Enterprise Edition;
  - business logic (projects to EJB)
  - contents or presentations (projects to Servlet, JSP, JSF)
are developed as software components and then run in a managed execution environment named containers.

 In terms of Java EE, there are two types of containers;
  • Web container
    • In web container, the components are generated in the form of Servlet, JSP and JSF, called web components.
    • Tomcat is a Java EE web container in which web components can be executed.
  • Application container
    • In the application container, the components are generated in the form of EJBs.
    • Weblogic, Websphere, Tom EE are some of JEE compliant application servers.

What containers do ?

Containers provide essential services to components and execute the life cycle of components.
Samples for the provided services by containers:
  • Security
  • Transaction management
  • Life cycle management
  • Request dispatching
Below is the diagram for the web and ejb containers and the services provided for each in Java EE 5:

The Convergence of OpenJDK and the Oracle JDK

|
Resim
In 2018, Oracle changed the license of their JDK. Instead of a single JDK build available both for commercial and free users, they offered two different JDK builds: Oracle JDK (commercial), which can be used in development and testing for free, but you have pay to use it in production. Oracle Open JDK (open source), which can be used in any environment for free. JDK Builds There is only one set of source code for the JDK. It is hosted in Mercurial at OpenJDK. Anyone can take the source code, produce a build, and post it. So, Oracle created a certification process that should be used to ensure the build is valid. This certification is run by the Java Community Process, which provides a Technology Compatibility Kit (TCK or JCK as Java). If an organization produces an OpenJDK build that passes the TCK then that build can be described as "Java SE compatible". The most popular and famous builds are distributed by Red Hat, Azul and community-led Adopt OpenJDK. ...

Java 9 New Features

|
Java SE 9 was released in September 2017 with a rich feature set.  The full list of new features in JDK 9 can be found here: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ In this tutorial, we will look at some of these new features and examine some of them. 1. Modular System – Jigsaw Project The Java platform is modularized into numerous modules in Java 9.  Developers can now create custom runtimes consisitng of the only modules needed by the target application. We already examine the outlines of Jigsaw project in the following article: https://www.javalopment.com/2018/03/project-jigsaw.html    2. JEP 223: New Version-String Scheme Java version-string is a string format that contains information about the Java version. Prior to Jdk 9, it was hard to identify version information from JDK version-string. With JEP 223, version-string was rearranged with a more systematic naming scheme. Java version-string consists of major, minor, security and patch version nu...

Pretenders, Contenders and Liars

|
Life is a way to the uncertainity. This is an exact fact. In this uncertain journey, we meet kinds of people of having different behaviours, and generally label them according to their behaviours. In this writing, i will try to write my understanding of three of these labels; pretenders, contenders and liars. Pretenders A pretender is a kind of people who pretends :) It does not do what it seems to do. It does what it does not seem to do. We frequently meet pretenders in our daily life. And if we catch a person pretending, then we feel that is not sincere. Okay, then here is a question sincerely to ask yourself; do you ever find yourself pretending ? Contenders A contender is a person who has a goal to reach and do not hesitate to fight for that goal. So a contender is sincere ? Absolutely yes, you may be completely opposite to a contender, but if you know that it's a contender, then you know that it's sincere in its behaviours. And sure it is, if you trus...
