MVC
• Action-Based Web Framework for Java EE
• Follows suit of Spring MVC or Apache Struts
• Does Not Replace JSF
• Model: CDI, Bean Validation, JPA
• View: Facelets, JSP (Extensible)
• Controller: Layered on top of JAX-RS

MVC
Controller Example
@Controller
@Path("/customers")
@View("my-view.jsp")
public class CustomerController {
@Inject
private Models models;
@GET
public String getItems(){
...
return “customers.jsp”;
}

MVC
View Example
<c:forEach var="customer" items="${customers}">
<tr>
<td class="text-left">${customer.name}</td>
<td class="text-center">
<form
action="${pageContext.request.contextPath}/r/customers/edit"
method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="${item.id}"/>
<button type="submit">
Edit
</button>
</form>
</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>

JSON-B
• Java API for JSON Binding
• JSR 367 - Public Review
• Read the spec, start testing:
https://java.net/projects/jsonb-spec/pages/Home

JSON-B
• Standardize means of converting JSON to Java
objects and vice versa
• Default mapping algorithm for converting Java
classes
• Draw from best of breed ideas in existing JSON
binding solutions
• Provide JAX-RS a standard way to support
“application/json” for POJOs
• JAX-RS currently supports JSON-P

JSON-B
Mapping
@Entity public class Person {
@Id String name;
String gender;
@ElementCollection
Map<String, String> phones;
...
}
Person duke = new Person();
duke.setName("Duke");
duke.setGender("Male");
phones = new HashMap<>();
phones.put("home", "650-123-4567");
phones.put("mobile",
"650-234-5678");
duke.setPhones(phones);
{
"name":"Duke",
"gender":"Male",
"phones":{
"home":"650-123-4567",
"mobile":"650-234-5678"
}
}

JSON-B
Proposed API - Custom Mapping
• Utilization of annotations to map fields to JSON
Document Elements
{
poolType : “Inground”,
}
@JsonProperty(“poolType”)
public String poolType;
{
poolType : “Inground”,
shape : “Rectangle”
}
@JsonPropertyOrder(“poolType”,
”shape”)
public class Pool(){
public String poolType;
public String shape;
…
}

Java EE Security
• JSR 365
• Early Draft Development
• Improve Java EE platform by ensuring that the
security API is useful in the modern cloud/PaaS
paradigm
• Simplify, standardize, modernize
• Promotes modern concepts (EL and CDI)

Java EE Security
• Simple security providers
• Easy pluggability and mapping
• Enabling Existing Security Annotations for all
beans

Java EE Security
Proposed Security Provider
@SecurityProvider
public class MySecurityProvider {
@Inject UserService userService;
@OnAuthentication
// The parameters could suit the credentials mechanism being
used.
public Principal getPrincipal(String username, String password) {
// Construct the principal using the user service.
}
@OnAuthorization
public String[] getRoles (Principal principal) {
// Construct an array of roles using the principal and user
service.
}
}

Java EE Security
• Proposed Idea Examples:
• https://github.com/javaee-security-spec/javaee-
security-proposals

JCache
• Java Temporary Caching API
• JSR 107 - Started in 2001
• Finished in 2014
• Provides a common way for Java applications to
create, access, update, and remove entries from
caches

JCache
• Provide applications with caching
functionality…particularly the ability to cache Java
objects
• Define common set of caching concepts & facilities
• Minimize learning curve
• Maximize portability
• Support in-process and distributed cache
implementations

JCache
• Unknown status...not mentioned in the Oracle
update
• Make use of JCache with some application servers
now with CDI

Health Checking
• Newly proposed specification, geared towards
monitoring the health of microservices
• Client-side standard
• Automatic, periodic, and self-monitoring
• Possibly statistics

Configuration
• Standard for externalizing configuration
• Aimed at cloud based environments
• Provide the ability to change one or more
configurations that are independent/decoupled of
apps...multiple configuration files
• Unified API for accessing configuration in many
different environments
• Layering and Overrides

Not Addressed
• JPA
• WebSocket
• Concurrency Utilities
• etc...
