Chasing the RESTful Trinity - Client CLI and Documentation
Chasing the RESTful Trinity - Client CLI and DocumentationRoberto Cortez The learning curve for REST API security is severe and unforgiving. Specifications promise infinite flexibility, habitually give old concepts new names, and almost seem designed to deliberately confuse. With an aggressive distaste for fancy terminology, this session delves into OAuth 2.0 with and without JWT for user identity; AWS-style security for B2B with API keys; and OAuth 2.0 Proof of Possession, which merges both into two-factor bliss. Using a baseline microservice architecture, the presentation compares them, with a heavy focus on the wire, showing actual HTTP messages and analyzing their impact on load and security. Starting with basic authentication and a brief intro to hashing and signing, this is the perfect session to align the whole team.
Baking a Microservice PI(e)

Imagine that you have a nice user interface interacting with these APIs where you can authenticate. And now, imagine that all this runs smoothly.
In this Deep Dive session, Roberto and Antonio will build, step by step, a full microservice architecture (using Java and different frameworks). This session will answer these questions:
How to build, document and deploy several microservices spread on different nodes (we use a Raspberry PI cluster because the Cloud is too expensive)
How to make those microservices talk to each other (Consul for registry and discovery)
How to scale up, down, and deal with network failures (Ribbon and Zuul to the rescue)
How to deal with high traffic (Hystrix, here you come)
How to monitor this distributed system (Dropwizard metrics with the ELK stack)

The document concludes with a demo of a polyglot application built with GraalVM, MicroProfile patterns, and multiple languages including Java, Node.js, Ruby, and Python.
Deconstructing and Evolving REST Security
Deconstructing and Evolving REST SecurityRoberto Cortez The learning curve for security is severe and unforgiving. Specifications promise infinite flexibility, habitually give old concepts new names, offer endless extensions, and almost seem designed to deliberately confuse. With an eye on architectural impact, actual HTTP messages, and aggressive distaste for fancy terminology, this session delves into OAuth 2.0 as it pertains to REST and shows how it falls into two camps: stateful and stateless. It then explores a competing Amazon-style approach called HTTP Signatures, ideal for B2B APIs. Finally, it discusses a new internet draft launched this year that combines them both into the perfect two-factor system that could provide a one-stop shop for business as well as mobile REST scenarios.
Lightweight Enterprise Java With Microprofile
Lightweight Enterprise Java With MicroprofileRoberto Cortez I laugh at people that tell me that Java is slow, heavyweight and cumbersome. Maybe it was true when we had EJB2. I will prove to you that we can develop Enterprise Applications with just a few lines of code that can run in a Raspberry PI. If it runs in a PI, I think we can safely say it would run anywhere! To be able to do it, I'm going to use a new platform called Microprofile. Microprofile 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. Join me for this live coding session and help me spread the word that Java is actually great for the Enterprise.
Cluster your MicroProfile Application using CDI and JCache
Cluster your MicroProfile Application using CDI and JCacheRoberto Cortez 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 spec 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 a CDI extension and producers to integrate Hazelcast as a JCache provider. Finally, to show you how light it is, we will run the entire cluster in a set up of Raspberry PI's.
Java EE 7 meets Java 8
Java EE 7 meets Java 8Roberto Cortez 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.
This session will explore the usage of the new Java 8 API's, combined with some of the new and existing features of Java EE. It will mostly be a live coding session where I plan to combine Java 8 Lambdas, Streams and DateTime API's with JPA, CDI, REST, Websockets and Batch.
The interesting thing about this session is about how to adjust your coding style and learn where you can use all these awesome Java 8 feature when developing a standard Enterprise application.
Maven - Taming the Beast
Maven - Taming the BeastRoberto Cortez Love it or hate it (and a lot of people seem to hate it), Maven is a widely used tool. We can consider that Maven has been the de-facto standard build tool for Java over the last 10 years. Most experienced developers already got their share of Maven headaches. Unfortunately, new developers are going through the same hard learning process, because they don't know how to deal with Maven particularities. "Why is this jar in my build?", "I can’t see my changes!", "The jar is not included in the distribution!", "The artifact was not found!" are common problems. Learn to tame the Maven Beast and be in complete control of your build to save you countless hours of pain and frustration.
The First Contact with Java EE 7
The First Contact with Java EE 7Roberto Cortez The latest version of the Java EE plataform had three major goals. First, improve developer productivity by introducing more annotations and removing boilerplate code to simplify integration with the plataform. JMS 2 is the perfect example; Second, add first-class support for web standards, including a new API to build WebSockets, a new API to parse, process and generate JSON and a new Client API in JAX-RS 2 to invoke RESTful services; Third, meet the enterprise demands. The long awaited Batch Processing API is now available to build batch processing applications using all the capabilities of the platform itself. The Concurrency Utilities API provides you with asynchronous capabilities. This session will explore all the new features introduced in Java EE 7 and share information to learn, develop and contribute.
Migration tales from java ee 5 to 7
Migration tales from java ee 5 to 7Roberto Cortez Are you still stuck in Java EE 5? Eager to move and boost developer productivity with all the cool things introduced in Java EE 7? Attend this session to hear about some of the solutions Tomitribe had to implement to completely migrate an application called Segurnet from Java EE 5 to Java EE 7. Expect a very technical session that delves into the details. Segurnet is a platform held by APS (Portuguese Insurance Association) that has served as an integration network for the insurance sector in Portugal for the last 20 years, with more than 33,000 active users.
Development Horror Stories
Development Horror StoriesRoberto Cortez We all enjoy to hear a good success story, but in the software development industry the life of a developer is also made up of disasters, disappointments and frustrations. Have you ever deleted all the data in production? Or maybe you just run out of disk space and your software failed miserably! How about crashing your server with a bug that you introduced in the latest release? We can learn with each others with the mistakes we made. Come to this BOF and share with us your most horrific development story and what did you do to fix it.
The 5 People in your Organization that grow Legacy Code
The 5 People in your Organization that grow Legacy CodeRoberto Cortez Have you ever looked at a random piece of code and wanted to rewrite it so badly? It’s natural to have legacy code in your application at some point. It’s something that you need to accept and learn to live with. So is this a lost cause? Should we just throw in the towel and give up? Hell no! Over the years, I learned to identify 5 main creators/enablers of legacy code on the engineering side, which I’m sharing here with you using real development stories (with a little humour in the mix). Learn to keep them in line and your code will live longer!
Java EE 7 Batch processing in the Real World
Java EE 7 Batch processing in the Real WorldRoberto Cortez This talk will explore one of the newest API for Java EE 7, the JSR 352, Batch Applications for the Java Platform. Batch processing is found in nearly every industry when you need to execute a non-interactive, bulk-oriented and long running operation task. A few examples are: financial transactions, billing, inventory management, report generation and so on. The JSR 352 specifies a common set of requirements that every batch application usually needs like: checkpointing, parallelization, splitting and logging. It also provides you with a job specification language and several interfaces that allow you to implement your business logic and interact with the batch container. We are going to live code a real life example batch application, starting with a simple task and then evolve it using the advanced API's until we have a full parallel and checkpointing reader-processor-writer batch. By the end of the session, attendees should be able to understand the use cases of the JSR 352, when to apply it and how to develop a full Java EE Batch Application.
