This session discusses the promise of interoperability in the Java EE 7 platform and what has been done—even now, at its time of release—to maintain this. The session shows how a Java EE 7 application can be easily built using NetBeans and JBoss development tools. This application can then be deployed on JBoss, GlassFish, and Oracle WebLogic, showing the promise of interoperability. The state of Java EE 7 compliance for different application servers is discussed and demonstrated.

JSON - Parsing
URLConnection connection = new URL("https://api.github.com/search/users?q=" + member.getName()).
openConnection();
try(InputStream stream = connection.getInputStream()) {
JsonReader reader = Json.createReader(stream);
JsonObject jsonObject=reader.readObject();
if(jsonObject.containsKey("items")) {
JsonArray items = jsonObject.getJsonArray("items");
if(items.size()>0) {
avatar = items.getJsonObject(0).getString("avatar_url");
}
}
}
● Parsing of JSON
● Navigation of JSonObjects

13. Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
JSON - Writing
final JsonObjectBuilder builder = Json.createObjectBuilder();
builder.add("name", m.getName());
builder.add("email", m.getEmail());
builder.add("phoneNumber", m.getPhoneNumber());
try (JsonWriter jw = factory.createWriter(writer)) {
jw.writeObject(builder.build());
}
● Easily write out JSON structures

Batch - Background Jobs
● Long running background jobs
● Fine vs Coarse grained setup
● Can be suspended by the Container

Batch - Background Jobs
● On member registered
○ Start background job
○ Pull github for avatar images
○ Store image in map from id to avatar used in table

WebSocket
■ Bi-directional communication over HTTP port
‒ Handshake to ensure both sides support WebSocket
‒ “Protocol upgrade” from HTTP
‒ Simple bidirectional messages, no headers
■ Server-side API for WebSocket in Java EE 7
‒ Server endpoint: @javax.websocket.server.ServerEndpoint
‒ Message encoders and decoders
■ Client-side API in JavaScript supported by modern browsers
■ In the KitchenSink example
‒ When a new member is registered, the server sends a WebSocket
notification about it to all clients who follow the “live log”

18. Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
WebSocket - Server
@ServerEndpoint(
value = "/registration",
encoders = {MemberEncoder.class})
public class RegistrationEndpoint {
@OnMessage
public String onMessage(String message, Session s) {
System.out.println("received: " + message);
handleLoginRequest(s);
return "received!";
}
}
● ServerEndPoints registered via annotations
● Methods for close, open, message etc.

19. Copyright © 2012, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.
WebSocket - Client
self.websocket = new WebSocket("ws://localhost/app/registration");
self.websocket.onopen = function (evt) {
console.log ('open');
window.mm.websocket.send("sending");
console.log('sent');
};
self.websocket.onmessage = function (evt) {
console.log(evt);
var m = new Member();
var dataobj = JSON.parse(evt.data);
m.name(dataobj.name);
m.email(dataobj.email);
m.phoneNumber(dataobj.phoneNumber);
window.mm.addItem(m);
};
● On Member created
○ receive message
○ refresh table livelog

Are we there yet ?
Java EE 7 makes it easier than ever, but…
Everything isn’t covered by spec
Software are written by humans
