Java Weekly 47: Java 9, tweet index, compress and authenticate REST service and more...

The Java world is evolving at a rapid pace and it can be challenging to keep track of it. Fortunately lots of great resources are created every week, explaining new features or looking at existing stuff from a different angle.

I am using the Java Weekly series to collect the most interesting links I found during the last week and present them to you all in one place. I hope you find it useful and that it makes it easier for you to keep up-to-date. If you like to suggest a resource or something I can improve on, please leave me a comment.





Java

Alexey Zhebel wrote a nice guide to the Java VM. He gives a short overview about the overall architecture, the class loader, the execution engine, the memory model and threads. The chapter about performance optimization is a little short and too simplified, but the entire article is a good read to get an overview about the JVM internals.


Java EE

Have you ever tried to compress the response of a REST call? It is quite easy, if you are using a WriterInterceptor. Adrian Matei wrote a nice tutorial about it: How to compress responses in Java REST API with GZip and Jersey.


Arjan Tijms wrote an interesting tutorial about Header based stateless token authentication for JAX-RS. He shows in a detailed way how to implement a JASPIC authentication module to provide a token based user authentication for RESTful web services.


JCP

Nigel Deakin proposed an errata release for the JMS 2.0 specification. The errata release will fix some specification bugs which cannot wait for JMS 2.1.


Java 9

Oracles announcement of new Java 9 features was the big news of this week. They announced:
Or have a look at Java 9 – The Ultimate Feature List by Alex Zhitnitsky to get an overview about all announced Java 9 features.


Design and Architecture

The development team at twitter announced the implementation of their new search service which is able to index all tweets ever published. That are about half a trillion tweets. Read more about their architecture at Building a complete Tweet index.


Releases

The Wildfly team released version 8.2.0.Final. The most interesting changes are the added support for CDI 1.2 (with Weld 2.2) and Web Sockets 1.1.


Upcoming online events

Andrew Rubinger will speak about Case Studies in Testable Java EE Development at 6pm UTC on Tuesday 25th at the virtual:JBUG.
