It’s been a while since I haven’t blogged… but that’s because I was busy writing two books on Quarkus! When Quarkus was announced in November 2018 I was very enthusiastic with what I saw. It was the beginning of Quarkus, but it was already promoting developer’s joy (hot reload, easy configuration, etc.), Cloud-Native, speed, small… but what I liked the most was the fact that … Continue reading Two Quarkus Books for Christmas
Last year I’ve published a fascicle on Bean Validation. It was time to publish the one on JPA. In a previous blog post I explained the entire writing process and why I had this idea of writing small fascicles. Make sure to read it if you want more details. But basically, the idea behind these fascicles comes from my previous Java EE 7 book. People … Continue reading Welcome My Fascicle on JPA

This book concentrates on Java EE 6 and highlights the new features of this release. It explores the innovations of this new version, and examines the various specifications and how to assemble them to develop applications. Java EE 6 consists of nearly 30 specifications and is an important milestone for the enterprise layer (EJB 3.1, JPA 2.0), for the web tier (Servlet 3.0, JSF 2.0), and for interoperability (SOAP web services and RESTful services). This book covers a broad part of the Java EE 6 specifications and uses the JDK 1.6 and some well-known design patterns, as well as the GlassFish application server, the Derby database, JUnit, and Maven. It is abundantly illustrated with UML diagrams, Java code, and screenshots.

Last year I have been approached by Apress who proposed me to write a book about Java EE 6 in the From Novice to Professional collection. At first I … Continue reading A book about Java EE 6
In today’s business world, applications need to access data, apply business logic, add presentation layers, and communicate with external systems. That’s what companies are trying to achieve while minimizing costs, using standard and robust technologies that can handle heavy loads. If that’s your case, you have the right book in your hands.
Java Enterprise Edition appeared at the end of the 1990s and brought to the Java language a robust software platform for enterprise development. Challenged at each new version, badly understood or misused, overengineered, and competing with open source frameworks, J2EE was seen as a heavyweight technology. Java EE benefited from these criticisms to improve and is today focused on simplicity.
Recently I had an opportunity to read Beginning Java EE 6 Platform with Glassfish 3 by Antonio Goncalves. The book has the subtitle “From Novice to Professional” and that’s a pretty accurate description of the book. After reading it a person not familiar with Java EE, but familiar with Java SE should feel comfortable developing a small Java EE application. (…)

Une fois n’est pas coutume, une revue de presse d’un site anglo-saxon. Un grand emerci à David Sills de l’équipe de JavaLobby qui, connaissant un peu le français, a fait l’effort de livre un ouvrage qui n’est pas écrit dans sa langue de prédilection. De plus, la critique est très bonne.
Un extrait : To be honest, I’d like to have this book in English for newbies in the field! We’d have a lot better applications built, I can say that.
L’application développée pour le livre utilise le serveur GlassFish et la base de données Derby. Pour installer l’application sur la base de données MySQL il faut effectuer quelques changement.
Tout d’abord, il faut installer MySQL 5. Pour cela, rendez-vous sur le site de MySQL et téléchargez la version dédiée à votre plateforme. Démarrez la base de données et connectez vous à celle-ci via l’éditeur (mysql -u root). Il faut ensuite créer la base petstoreDB et la rendre accessible à l’utilisateur dbuser (mot de passe dbpwd).

Throughout the chapters you have to develop layer after layer (persistence, session facade, web interface, electronic shopping cart, web services and asynchronous processing) to obtain a web site to sale domestic animals.
First of all, you have to downloadthe code of the application.
Uncompress the file that you have just downloaded and you will obtain three principal sub-directories. Those correspond to the various applications: Continue reading Install the application
In the Java EE 5 book, you will have to develop a web and a swing application that talk to an EJB 3 back end.
In this Flash animation, you’ll see how to use the Petstore web application. First It browses the catalog of pets, then logs a user on, who buys a few animals, adds them to my shopping cart, changes some quantities of the shopping cart and then checks out.
In this animation you can see the administration console. It is developed in Swing and used to create/modify/remove items of the catalog as well as having a view on customer and orders. Continue reading Demo of the Petstore application
