Java EE 7 Meets Java 8 / Clustering MicroProfile Application using CDI and JCache

With Java 8 EE taking way longer to release than first expected, it could be some time off before we see Java 9 EE, and since there are many companies in Dublin using Java 7, their engineers will be interested in our first DubJUG event of 2018 which sees Senior Java EE Engineer Roberto Cortez from the Seattle based start-up, Tomitribe, talking about how Java EE 7 meets Java 8, and clustering MicroProfile applications using CDI and JCache.

Roberto is presenting.....

Java EE 7 Meets Java 8

and

Cluster your MicroProfile Application using CDI and JCache

Doors Open 18:15 (evening session)

About Roberto Cortez

Robert was born in Venezuela, but has spent most of his life in Coimbra, Portugal. With a degree in Informatics Engineering (equivalent to the Bologna Master’s degree) from the Department of Informatics Engineering of the University of Coimbra, he has been working as a Java Developer for 10 years in business areas like Finance, Insurance and Government.

Roberto works with many Java based technologies like JavaEE, Spring, Hibernate, GWT, JBoss AS and Maven just to name a few, always relying on IntelliJ IDEA, which he says is his favourite IDE.

As a Freelancer / Independent Contractor he travels the world to customers, but also to speak at Java conferences. The direct contact with the Java community made him want to become an active member in the community itself. For that reason, he created the Coimbra Java User Group, and started to contribute to Open Source on Github so he can share some of the knowledge that he has gained over the years.

After working for a few major corporations, he became eager to help and grow something from the ground up, so currently works with Seattle based start-up Tomitribe which focus on developing and supporting TomEE, a Java Application server based on Tomcat with Java EE support.

Java EE 7 Meets Java 8

The last few years have been pretty exciting for Java with new versions of EE and SE platforms.

Java EE, introduced a new API to build WebSockets; a new API to parse, process and generate JSON; a new Client API in JAX-RS to invoke REST services, and finally the Batch Processing API to build batch applications.

Java SE brought us the long awaited Lambda expressions; the powerful Streams API to perform operations like filtering, mapping or sorting in a very easy and fluent way, and a brand new Date Time API, to deal with the complexities of Timezones and Periods.

This session will combine all of these elements together and show you how to easily develop an application using Java SE 8 with Java EE 7, with live coding and samples.

Cluster your MicroProfile Application using CDI and JCache

Microprofile is a new platform definition that optimizes Enterprise Java for a Microservices Architecture and delivers application portability across multiple runtimes. You can use a subset of the Java EE specifications to develop Microprofile applications, with JAX-RS, CDI and JSON-P. Now you need to make it highly available and scalable across a large number of machines.

The session will feature a live coding demo where we will turn this Microprofile application, into a fully clustered application using only standard Java API’s. Finally, to show you how light it is, we will run the entire cluster in a set up of Raspberry PI’s.
