Google AppEngine (GAE/J) - Introduction and Overview from a Java Guy

JavaOne 2016 It is time to move your Java EE builds over to Gradle! Gradle continues to gain momentum across the industry. In fact, Google is now pushing Gradle for Android development. Gradle draws on lessons learned from both Ant and Maven and is the next evolutionary step in Java build tools. This session covers the basics of switching existing Java EE projects (that use Maven) over to Gradle and the benefits you will reap, such as incremental compiling, custom distributions, and task parallelization. You’ll see demos of all the goodies you’ve come to expect, such as integration testing and leveraging of Docker. Switching is easier than you think, and no refactoring is required.

www.caucho.com Using industry standard tool and methodology, Resin Pro web server was put to the test versus Nginx, a popular web server with a reputation for efficiency and performance. Nginx is known to be faster and more reliable under load than the popular Apache HTTPD. Benchmark tests between Resin and Nginx yielded competitive figures, with Resin leading with fewer errors and faster response times. In numerous and varying tests, Resin handled 20% to 25% more load while still outperforming Nginx. In particular, Resin was able to sustain fast response times under extremely heavy load while Nginx performance degraded.

The document discusses the importance of resilience and failure preparation in cloud systems. It introduces the concept of "GameDay", which are large-scale exercises that inject faults across critical systems to increase an organization's resilience. These exercises help identify risks, reduce failure frequency and recovery time, and build confidence and competence in responding to failures. The document advocates designing infrastructure to be rebuildable from source code and data backups alone. It also stresses the importance of automation, emergencies tools testing, and culture of collaboration between dev and ops.

What is different about this generation of web applications? A solid development approach must consider latency, throughput, and interactivity demanded by users users across mobile devices, web browsers, and IoT. These applications often use NoSQL to support a flexible data model and easy scalability required for modern development. A full stack application (composed of Couchbase, WebAPI, Angular2, and ASP.NET/ASP.NET Core) will be demonstrated in this session. The individual parts of a stack may vary, but the overall design is the focus.

The document discusses Etsy's experience integrating multiple content delivery network (CDN) providers. Etsy began using a single CDN in 2008 but then investigated using multiple CDNs in 2012 to improve resilience, flexibility, and costs. They developed an evaluation criteria and testing process to initially configure and test the CDNs with non-critical traffic before routing production traffic. Etsy then implemented methods for balancing traffic across CDNs using DNS and monitoring the performance of the CDNs and origin infrastructure.

This document discusses using virtualization and containers to improve database deployments in development environments. It notes that traditional database deployments are slow, taking 85% of project time for creation and refreshes. Virtualization allows for more frequent releases by speeding up refresh times. The document discusses how virtualization engines can track database changes and provision new virtual databases in seconds from a source database. This allows developers and testers to self-service provision databases without involving DBAs. It also discusses how virtualization and containers can optimize database deployments in cloud environments by reducing storage usage and data transfers.

http://wiki4.caucho.com/Java_EE_Tutorial_covering_JSP_2.2,_and_Servlets_3.0 This tutorial focuses on using Servlet's and JSP the right way. Servlet and JSP have evolved over the years, and now there is often more than one way to do things. For example, this tutorial uses EL and JSTL not JSP scriptlets, it uses JSPs in a Model 2/MVC style not in a model 1 style, etc. Consider it a tutorial that focuses only on the best practices and not the legacy ways to do things. There are other tutorials on this subject, but this tutorial is going to be different in that it is going to put all code into github, and you can follow along with Eclipse. Also instead of focusing on JSF, we are going to focus on JSP and Servlets as the main view technology. Java EE, JSP and Servlets have added a lot of features that are in other frameworks, making those other frameworks less relevant then they were before Java EE garnered these extra abilities. Even is you decide to use JSF, Struts, Stripes, Spring MVC, JSF, etc., this tutorial should help you have a better understanding of the JSP/Servlets core that they build on. We are going to start by building a simple bookstore. We will progressively add more features to the bookstore and as we do we will use more of Java EE/CDI, JSP and Servlets. For this tutorial, I am going to use Resin 4.0.x, but you could use any Java EE 6 Web Profile compliant application server.

This document provides information about an upcoming Box Guy event, including sponsors, speakers and sessions. On the first day, there will be a presentation on FusionReactor at 12:30pm and a podcast at 6:30pm. The second day will feature a lunch with Pete Freitag at 12:30pm. Attendees can enter raffles by tweeting with #intothebox. The event also promotes Ortus' consulting services and modernization approach for CFML applications.

This document provides an overview of the remaining tasks to complete the release of Drupal 8. It discusses the 26 remaining critical issues blocking the beta to RC phase. It outlines goals around performance, security, and the upgrade path. Key tasks include finalizing caching, migrating from Drupal 7, and ensuring alternative databases like SQLite and PostgreSQL are fully supported. The document encourages community involvement in testing, profiling, and helping to resolve critical issues.

JavaOne 2016 This session provides 50 best practices for Java EE 7, with examples. The best practices covered focus primarily on JPA, CDI, JAX-WS, and JAX-RS. In addition, topics involving testing and deployment are covered. This presentation points out where best practices have changed, common misconceptions, and antipatterns that should be avoided. This is a fast-paced presentation with many code samples.

This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on developing Java EE applications for WebLogic 12c with IntelliJ IDEA. The presentation agenda includes an overview of Oracle WebLogic 12c, installing and configuring WebLogic 12c and IntelliJ IDEA, and developing Java EE applications. It also discusses features of WebLogic 12c such as dynamic clusters, high availability, database integration, developer tools and technologies.

This document discusses setting up a web application cluster for scaling and load balancing purposes. It introduces vertical and horizontal clustering approaches. Vertical clustering involves using multiple application instances on the same machine, while horizontal clustering uses multiple machines. The document then provides steps to create a private vertical cluster on a local machine using two Tomcat instances fronted by an Apache HTTP server with a weighted round robin load balancing policy.

OSGi Community Event 2015 A look at three competing OSGi ecosystems (Declarative Services, Blueprint, CDI). Capabilities of each DI framework. Comparison of support for EE technologies like JPA, Security, SOAP and REST services, UIs. Looking into some of the recent advancements like Aries JPA 2 featuring closure based transactions, JAAS Security, JSP and JSF on OSGi. Attendees will get a good overview about the stacks as well as recommendations where each is most applicable.

Google App Engine (GAE) is a popular PaaS offering. Where its scalable and reliable environment is hidden behind a custom API. This makes GAE apps hard to port over to other non-GAE environments. But what if one could implement such similar environment? And you could simply move your GAE application’s .war file to this new environment and it would just work? After all, at the end it’s all about the API, plus scalable and reliable services. JBoss CapeDwarf project aims at making this a reality. This presentation will provide a glimpse into what it takes to implement something as GAE, ranging from runtime integration with JBoss Application Server, actual services implementation to last but not least, automated heavy testing.
