Happy Java SE 8 was released! But for the Java EE? This materials shows the current status of EE 6/7 with SE 8, and some limitation in current EE 7 app servers with 8. This session materials is for the Japan Java Users Group (JJUG) CCC 2014 Spring session. #jjgc_ccc #ccc_r11

 Standard specifications for application servers
(except for MS).

Liberty Profile etc.

6. 6
 For ENTERPRISE systems (Enterprise Edition)
specifications (full profile)
– 'Enterprise' means transactional.
– Core architecture is EJB (JTA & CMT) with auto transaction
systems.
– Transactional connectivity for other systems with JPA (JDBC),
JMS, RMI-IIOP.
– Web architecture with JSF (Servlet & Facelet), JAX.
 Each Java EE specification covers general enterprise requirements.
– Not for personal usage.  Use Java SE only.
– Not for build-in usage.  Use Java ME.
– For your enterprise system  Use Java EE with Java SE.

Java SE 8 Updates Overview
Basic Topics

16. 16
Java SE 8 New Functions

17. 17
Java SE 8 Deleted Functions
So long..

18. 18
SE 8 New Feature – Lambda with Stream API
List<String> aList
= Arrays.asList(new String[]{"a", "b", "c", "d", "e"});
// Normal
for (String x : aList) {
System.out.println(x);
}
// Lambda with parallel stream
aList.parallelStream().forEachOrdered(x -> System.out.println(x));
Stream API
(auto parallel threading)
Lambda Expression
(just a syntax sugar)
Might not work with EE 7

19. 19
SE 8 New Feature – Lambda with Stream API
Don’t worry.
NetBeans supports you!
Automatic Conversion

20. 20
SE 8 New Feature – New Date Time API (Basic)
// Calendar.
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
// Date.
int year = cal.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = cal.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1;
int day = cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
// Time.
int hour = cal.get(Calendar.HOUR);
int minutes = cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
int second = cal.get(Calendar.SECOND);
int millisecond = cal.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND);
// Local Date Time.
LocalDateTime dateTime =
LocalDateTime.now();
// Local Date.
LocalDate date = dateTime.toLocalDate();
int year = date.getYear();
int month = date.getMonthValue();
int day = date.getDayOfMonth();
DayOfWeek dayOfWeek = date.getDayOfWeek();
// Local Time.
LocalTime time = dateTime.toLocalTime();
int hour = time.getHour();
int minute = time.getMinute();
int second = time.getSecond();
int nanoSecond = time.getNano();
Java 1.2 – Java 7 Java 8 –
-1
From Millisecond to Nanosecond
(.000  .000000000)

21. 21
SE 8 New Feature – New Date Time API (Calculation)
// Date Calculation
Calendar threeWAfter = Calendar.getInstance();
threeWAfter.setLenient(false);
threeWAfter.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 7 * 3);
Calendar fourMBefore = Calendar.getInstance();
fourMBefore.setLenient(false);
fourMBefore.add(Calendar.MONTH, -4);
// Time Calculation
Calendar sevenHAfter = Calendar.getInstance();
sevenHAfter.setLenient(false);
sevenHAfter.add(Calendar.HOUR, 7);
Calendar threeMBefore = Calendar.getInstance();
threeMBefore.setLenient(false);
threeMBefore.add(Calendar.MINUTE, -3);
// Local Date Time.
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
LocalDate date = dateTime.toLocalDate();
LocalTime time = dateTime.toLocalTime();
// Date Calculation
LocalDate threeWAfter = date.plusWeeks(3);
LocalDate fourMBefore = date.minusMonths(4);
// Time calculation
LocalTime sevenHAfter = time.plusHours(7);
LocalTime threeMBefore = time.minusMinutes(3);
Java 1.2 – Java 7 Java 8 –
Simplified, sophisticated style!

SE 8 New Feature – New Date Time API (JDBC)
ANSI SQL Java SE 8
DATE java.time.LocalDate
TIME java.time.LocalDate
TIMESTAMP java.time.LocalDateTime
TIME WITH TIMEZONE java.time.OffsetTime
TIMESTAMP WITH TIMEZONE java.time.OffsetDateTime

28. 28
Basic of Applying SE 8 feature in EE 7 Apps
 EE 7 didn’t consider the SE 8 in their specification.
– EE 7 spec don’t know the SE 8.
 Many SE 8 new functions might be work correctly if the app server
supported the SE 8 as their VM.
– Lambda expressions
– Stream APIs (limited)
– New date time APIs (limited)
– etc.

29. 29
Basic of Applying SE 8 feature in EE 7 Apps
 But some conflicted specs might not be worked correctly
– Stream API (multithreading with EJB 3.2, e.g. parallel stream)
– New date time APIs (JDBC new mappings with JPA 2.1)
– etc.
 Wait the Java EE 8 for the full support of SE 8

Advanced Topics

31. 31
Study of Limitation Case
with SE 8 in EE 7

32. 32
Let’s take a look
of EJB 3.2 (EE 7)
with Parallel Stream,
with Glassfish 4.0.1 beta.

33. 33
Downloaded from here.

34. 34
NetBeans 8
detected 4.0.1

35. 35
NetBeans 8
supported JDK 8

36. 36
Startup succeeded
with NetBeans 8.

37. 37
Sample Test Application
<EJB>
LambdaLogic.java
<CDI Bean> *
IndexBean.java
<JSF Facelet> *
index.xhtml
*This is just a workaround due to
not working Web Services / REST tester
in GlassFish 4.0.1b5.

38. 38
Wrote Lambda with (Parallel)Stream in EJB

39. 39
Wrote CDI Bean for Calling EJB

40. 40
Wrote CDI Bean for Calling EJB

41. 41
Results
Both Succeeded.

42. 42
Really?

43. 43
Tested
Fork/Join Framework
with
WebLogic Server 12.1.2
(yet Java EE 6)

44. 44
Just a kidding
codes…

45. 45
???

46. 46
Just removed
the EJB annotation,
turn to POJO

47. 47
Works !?
Why?????

48. 48
Let’s Check
the EJB 3.2 Specification

49. 49
EJB 3.2 Spec don’t allowed Manual Multithreading
Still not allowed.
Oh…

50. 50
Parallel Stream is
implemented with
Fork/Join Framework !
Wow!!

51. 51
Parallel Stream Uses Fork/Join Framework
 Fork/Join framework was introduced in Java SE 7
– Not supported in EJB container.
 Parallel Stream uses fork/join framework in its implementation
– Might not be supported in EJB 3.2 container in EE 7
– Some complicated case might not be worked correctly
 Exception management case
 JTA with container managed transaction in parallel loop case
 @Asynchronous method call in parallel loop
 Differed transaction isolation level method calling
 Security management
 etc.

52. 52
Conclusion
 All Java EE 7 app servers
are not supported SE 8 yet,
but some simple case are
usable with 8.
 Many limitation are still
existing for applying SE to
EE 7, but useful new
functions must be improve
the stage of your enterprise.
Go Ahead!
Ready to apply SE 8
for the Java EE!
