Book Description

Jakarta EE stands as a robust standard with multiple implementations, presenting developers with a versatile toolkit for building enterprise applications. However, despite the advantages of enterprise application development, vendor lock-in remains a concern for many developers, limiting flexibility and interoperability across diverse environments.

This Jakarta EE application development guide addresses the challenge of vendor lock-in by offering comprehensive coverage of the major Jakarta EE APIs and goes beyond the basics to help you develop applications deployable on any Jakarta EE compliant runtime.

This book introduces you to JSON Processing and JSON Binding and shows you how the Model API and the Streaming API are used to process JSON data. You’ll then explore additional Jakarta EE APIs, such as WebSocket and Messaging, for loosely coupled, asynchronous communication and discover ways to secure applications with the Jakarta EE Security API. Finally, you'll learn about Jakarta RESTful web service development and techniques to develop cloud-ready microservices in Jakarta EE.

By the end of this book, you'll have developed the skills to craft secure, scalable, and cloud-native microservices that solve modern enterprise challenges.

What you will learn

• Design microservices architectures with a clear separation of concerns
• Understand the contexts and dependency injection (CDI) specification to develop Java EE applications
• Use Jakarta Faces to create interactive web applications using component-based development
• Understand the steps involved in handling JSON data with Jakarta JSON Processing and Binding
• Design secure RESTful web services using server-sent events (SSE) for real-time data updates
• Secure your applications with the Jakarta Security API
• Build message-driven applications with Jakarta Messaging

Who this book is for

This book is for Java developers looking to learn Jakarta EE and expand their skill set. You’ll also find this book useful if you are familiar with Java EE and want to stay abreast of the latest version of the Jakarta EE specification. Knowledge of core Java concepts such as OOP, data types, control flow, and basic collections will be beneficial.
