Agenda

Current “buzz”
Java EE 7 – Overview
HTML 5 Features
Cloud Features
Wrap-up and Q&A


Current Buzz – Developer Edition

Simplification of Tool set (& Polyglotism)
BIG Data
HTML 5
Cloud


Simplification & Polyglotism
Developers demand less boiler plate code
The best tool that fits the task – Polyglotism!


JVM is a durable and popular platform

The JVM itself has become a key part of many language strategies!

“invokedynamic” introduced in Java SE 7 as a JVM level feature to better support dynamic
languages
Project Coin – Simplify and add some better syntactic constructs
Multi-catch
try-with-resources
Strings in Switch
Etc…


The Challenge of Big Data
Webscale Data
Terrabytes/day
Tweets
Geo Check-ins
Web logs
Social Data
Atmospheric data
Etc, Etc


Java to the Rescue (with help from Web 2.0 frameworks)

Java has become the popular
language of choice for
implementation for many big
data frameworks
Apache Hadoop has become a very popular
Java based implementation of the Map-
Reduce Paradigm
Multiple distributions of Hadoop (Cloudera,
DataMeer, HortonWorks)
Cassandra – Highly Available DB engine
written in Java (Facebook)
Column oriented “NoSQL” DB


Java EE 7 – Cloud & HTML 5

Java EE 7 and further releases to address:
- HTML 5
- Cloud


Java Enterprise Edition - Progression


Java EE 7 - Overview

Java SE 7 (Dolphin) released June-July 2011 -
Java EE 7 to follow
JSR 342: Umbrella JSR for Java EE 7
Q3 2012 Public Review
Q4 2012 Proposed Final Draft
Q1 2013 Final Release (Pushed back from Q3
2012)

Java EE 7 Overview - JSRs


Four Key aspects

Java EE 7 has a lot of JSRs!
Already covered topics:
- JSR 343: What's Coming in Java Message
Service 2.0
- Java API for JSON
- JAX-RS 2.0: What's in JSR 339?
- Enterprise JavaBeans Technology 3.2
- Java Persistence API 2.1

Focus of the presentation

We will look at four key areas:
- JSF enhancements HTML 5 – JSF 2.0 & 2.2
- HTML 5 WebSockets – (JSR 356)
- Concurrency Utils. for EE (JSR 236)
- Cloud – Multiple JSRs


JEE 7 and HTML 5
JSF

HTML 5 – Future of Web Markup


HTML 5 Features: HTML Elements

HTML4 HTML5

Semantic elements for Structure
<header>, <nav>, <article>, <section>, <aside>, <footer>, etc
Cleaner Source – no more “div craziness”


HTML 5 Elements: Audio & Video
Audio Today
- Most audio played through flash plug-in
- Not all browsers have same plug-ins (& security risks)
<audio> element:
- Standard way to include audio: sound files or audio stream
- 3 supported formats: Ogg Vorbis, MP3, Wav (browsers may support subset)
Usage example:
<audio controls="controls">
<source src="song.ogg" type="audio/ogg">
<source src="song.mp3" type="audio/mpeg">
</audio>
Specify multiple audio file formats: browser will use first recognized format
“controls” attribute: adds “play”, “pause”, and “volume” controls


Java EE 7 - Web Tier support

HTML5 support
Web socket support
Standard JSON API
NIO.2-based web container


JSF Composite Components

Truly Reusable component
Turns page markup into a JSF UI component with attached validators,
converters, listeners
<html xmlns=http://www/w3/org/1999/xhtml
xmlns:h=http://java.sun.com/jsf/html
xmlns:f=http://java.sun.com/jsf/core
xmlns:my=”http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite/comp”>
…………….
<my:out value=”yes”/>
On disk:
<context root>/resources/comp/out.xhtml>
JSF Composite components can leverage the HTML 5 JavaScript API!

JSF support – HTML 5 with composite components
<html... xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" xmlns:h=http://java.sun.com/jsf/html
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" xmlns:cc="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite">

<h:head> ... </h:head> …
<h:body>
<cc:interface>
<cc:attribute name=”src” required=”true” ”/>
<cc:attribute name=”controls” required=”false” />
</cc:interface>
<cc:implementation>
<h:outputScript library=”js” name=”audio.js” target=”head”/>
<audio src="#{cc.attrs.src}" controls="#{cc.attrs.controls}"></audio>
<input type=”button” value=”Play” onclick=”play()”/>
<input type=”button” value=”Pause” onclick=”pause()”/>
</cc:implementation>
</h:body>


JSF support – HTML 5 with composite components
audio.js:
function play() {
var audio = document.getElementsByTagName("audio")[0];
audio.play();
var display =
document.getElementsByTagName("input")[0];
display.value = audio.src; }

function pause() {
var audio = document.getElementsByTagName("audio")[0];
audio.pause(); }


JSF Support for HTML 5 to be enhanced

JSF 2.2 enhancements for HTML5 support
- Semantic tags, browser feature detection
- Use of HTML5 by components
- Audio and Video usage enhancements
JSR-276 (tool support)
Mobile renderkits
Page resolver and application context manager
API

JEE 7 and HTML 5
WebSockets

WebSocket – Bidirectional TCP
Way for multiplexing bi-directional, full-duplex communications channels
over a single TCP connection
Real-time, bidirectional web communication with low overhead (compared
to technologies such as COMET)
Standardized way for the server to send content to the browser without
being solicited by the client
TCP port 80 – no need for additional firewall port rules
TCP based, uses HTTP 'handshake' to initiate & terminate WebSocket session
Defines two new URI schemes -
ws: and wss: for unencrypted and encrypted connections
Supported Chrome 16, Firefox 11 and Internet Explorer 10
Blessed by IETF – Tracked by RFC 6455

WebSocket – HTTP connection Handshake

Client Request:
GET /mychat HTTP/1.1
Host: server.example.com
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade
Sec-WebSocket-Key: x3JJHMbDL1EzLkh9GBhXDw==
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: chat
Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13

Server response:
HTTP/1.1 101 Switching Protocols
Upgrade: websocket
Connection: Upgrade Sec-WebSocket-Accept:
HSmrc0sMlYUkAGmm5OPpG2HaGWk=
Sec-WebSocket-Protocol: chat


Java API for WebSocket support JSR – JSR 356

Creating components to handle bi-directional WebSocket
conversations
Initiating and intercepting WebSocket events
Creation and consumption of WebSocket text and binary messages
Abililty to define WebSocket protocols & content models
Configuration and management of WebSocket sessions,
- timeouts,
- retries,
- connection pooling
Define how WebSocket applications within Java EE security model

Web Socket Sample (w/Grizzly WebSocket API)

public class ChatApplication extends WebSocketApplication<ChatWebSocket>
{
protected ChatWebSocket createWebSocket(Connection c,
ServerWebSocketMeta m)
{ return new ChatWebSocket(c, m, this); }

public void onMessage(ChatWebSocket s, DataFrame frame) {
String msg = frame.getAsText();
s.sendJson(s.getUser(), msg);
}

public void onClose(ChatWebSocket s)
{ s.sendJson(“system”, s.getUser() + “ left the chat”); }
}


Concurrency Utils for Managed
code


Concurrency Utils – not for managed code!

Java.util.concurrent is a great set of libraries for
managing concurrent executions – makes writing
multi-threaded code (somewhat) simple
Cannot (should not) be used in managed
environments!
Server containers provide runtime support for Java EE
application components (Servlets and EJBs)
Layer between the App code and Platform resources
Multi-threaded code is discouraged in “Managed”

Managed Code unfriendly APIs

java.util.Timer
java.lang.Thread
java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService
ThreadPoolExecutor
….


javax.enterprise.concurrent for Managed code

JSR 236: Concurrency Utilities for Java EE
Created in 2003 Inactive till now
Getting a Reboot now!
Q4 2012: Release Public Review Draft
Q1 2013: Final Release
On-Track for Java EE 7

Preview of javax.enterprise.concurrent (JSR 236)

ManagedExecutorService - Manageable version of a ExecutorService.
ManagedScheduledExecutorService - Manageable version of a
ScheduledExecutorService.
ManagedTaskListener - ManagedTaskListener is used to monitor the
state of a task's Future.
ManagedThreadFactory - Manageable version of a ThreadFactory
Etc…


JEE 7 and Cloud


Cloud Introduction - Simple Cloud Model


Cloud Introduction

Service Delivery Models
- IaaS – Infrastructure as a Service – Amazon EC2, Rackspace
- PaaS – Platform as a Service – CloudFoundry, Heroku,
Force.com, Google Apps, Amazon Beanstalk
- SaaS – Software as a Service – SalesForce, Workday
Ownership/Deployment Flavors
- Public
- Private
- Hybrid
- Community

Service Delivery Models

IaaS
Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Deploy customer created/acquired apps
- Using languages and tools supported by PaaS
Provider
- No control of underlying cloud infrastructure
- Control over deployed applications, hosting
env. Configuration for owned apps

Cloud Offerings are vendor specific
Taxonomies, APIs, Service Levels, Interconnections, etc are varied
In the IaaS space: AWS is emerging as a de-facto standard (API adopted by
Eucalyptus, CloudStack etc)

In the PaaS space: Number
of providers springing up
that can provide support for
Java Applications and
services


No Standards yet!


Needs of a PaaS Ready app

Application as a whole need to be versioned
Multiple versions can coexist
Must deal with data versioning, upgrades, etc.
Need ability to specify QoS properties
Apps both expose and connect to services simultaneously
Tighter requirements for resource and state
management
Better isolation between applications

Less control over underlying services


Java EE 7 Cloud Focus: Platform as a Service
Next logical step for Java EE
Java EE 7 : Evolves from Providing Services to Being one
Define new platform roles to accommodate PaaS model
Services become First Class citizens
Add metadata
- For service provisioning and configuration
- For QoS, Elasticity
- For sharing of applications and resources
- For (re)configurability and customization
Add useful APIs for cloud environment
- JAX-RS client API, Caching API, State Management, JSON,…
Extend existing APIs with support for multi-tenancy


New PaaS Roles in Java EE 7

PaaS Product Vendor
PaaS Provider
PaaS Account Manager
PaaS Customer
Application Submitter
Application Administrator
End-User

Multi-tenancy in Java EE 7
Support for separate isolated instances of the same
app for different tenants
- One application instance per tenant
- Tenants correspond to units of isolation
- Multitenant apps are declared as such
- Each instance customized and deployed for a
single tenant
Mapping to tenant done by the container
Tenant id available to application
- E.g., under java:comp/tenantId or by injection


Multi-Tenancy Illustration

Goal: Simple configuration
Flexible tenant discriminator support
Other areas impacted - JNDI, JMS, EJB …


PaaS Impact on deployment – Traditional Deployment


PaaS Impact on deployment – Cloud Deployment


Wrap-up

Java EE 7 is going to be a major step forward
HTML 5 support being added incrementally thru
number of JSRs
Embracing the Cloud and focusing on PaaS space
JVM continues to be a very popular part of
Java Ecosystem
Exciting times ahead!
- Modularity (Project Jigsaw), Closures, etc
