The Flexibility and Power of MDBs, Illustrated

By ActiveMQ, Apache TomEE, Open Source, TomEE No Comments

Tomitribe supports many organizations that use Message-Driven Beans in production with TomEE. This post is derived from experience working with those organizations to improve their system performance and software architecture. Previously we published a MDB tutorial followed by a deeper dive in the article “MBD-to-MDB Messaging: Harness the Power of the River Delta“. This week we’ll provide an illustrated example of how MDBs can work together to create flexible and powerful messaging system.

Upgrading TomEE: Keeping jettison as the JSON provider in JAX-RS

By Apache TomEE, Java EE, Open Source, TomEE No Comments

In this article, we are going to learn how to configure on TomEE 7.x or later with the legacy JSON provider used by TomEE 1.7.x. This scenario is useful when you are migrating JAX-RS based applications and want to keep the legacy JSON processing from the Jettison library (v1.3.7) used by TomEE 1.7.x. Since TomEE 7.x, The Johnzon library has been the default provider because it implements the JSON-P_1.1 (JSR-353) and JSON-B_1.0 (JSR-367) specifications. Application and Server configurations In order to enable Jettison as the JSON provider for TomEE 7.x or later you need to execute the following changes: In…

MBD-to-MDB Messaging: Harness the Power of the River Delta

By ActiveMQ, Apache TomEE, Open Source, TomEE No Comments

Tomitribe supports many of organizations that use ActiveMQ, JMS, and Message-Driven Beans in production with TomEE. This post is derived from experience working with those organizations to improve their system performance and software architecture. The idea behind yesterday’s MDB tutorial was to divide up the work of spidering a web page among three different MDBs each with a specific purpose. This division of labor is an important concept in messaging in general and MDBs in particular. This article shows how MDBs can communicate with outside applications as well as other MDBs in a Java EE application server. This latter capability,…

Tomitribe supports many of organizations that use ActiveMQ, JMS, and Message-Driven Beans in production with TomEE. This post is derived from experience working with those organizations to improve their system performance and software architecture. When you have finished the tutorial you may be interested in a deeper discussion of what the tutorial is designed to teach you about MDBs. For that, proceed to “MBD-to-MDB Messaging: Harness the Power of the River Delta” which explains how MDBs can be used to create a river delta-like architecture. The tutorial contains three MDBs and one stand-alone JMS client. The purpose of the system…

Debug mode in Docker for Tomcat and TomEE

By Apache TomEE, Docker, ES, Open Source, TomEE One Comment

Remote debugging is a common practice for troubleshooting issues in software development. If you are using Tomcat or TomEE with Docker containers as part of your stack you can find various techniques to enable debug capabilities in these types of containers: 1. Create a custom Docker image by extending an existing official one[1] 2. Extensive customization of CATALINA_OPSTS[2] However, both approaches require extra steps in some scenarios. Below I share the simplest method I have used to do remote debugging in Apache Tomcat and Apache TomEE with a Docker image: $ $ docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 8000:8000 -e…

Docker y debug de Apache Tomcat y TomEE

By Apache TomEE, Docker, ES, Open Source, TomEE No Comments

El debug remoto es una práctica común para investigación de problemas de microservicios. Si estas utilizando contenedores Docker Apache Tomcat o Apache TomEE, en la web puedes encontrar varias técnicas como lo son: 1. Extender una imagen oficial y personalizar[1] 2. Utilizar personalización extensiva de CATALINA_OPTS[2] Sin embargo ambos enfoques requieren extra pasos aplicables para algunos escenarios. A continuación les comparto la forma más sencilla que he utilizado para poder hacer debug remoto en Apache Tomcat y Apache TomEE: $ $ docker run -it -p 8080:8080 -p 8000:8000 -e CATALINA_OPTS=”-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=*:8000″ tomcat:9.0.17-jre11 Anatomía de las opciones utilizadas: docker run Comando para…

It’s Easy! Your First TomEE Pull-Request: Using JIRA

By Apache TomEE, Community, TomEE No Comments

While all open source tools (i.e. GitHub, Maven, Mailing lists, Java IDEs) used by the TomEE open source community are important, the process of identifying and managing the work done on the project is critical to our success. The tool we use for managing work is the TomEE JIRA issue tracking system. Note: If you are not already familiar with JIRA tickets or find them confusing, you should read “It’s Easy! The Anatomy of a JIRA Issue” after reading this article. It will help clarify all the information a typical JIRA Issue addresses. Becoming a part of the TomEE community…

TomEE for Every Day!

By Apache TomEE, Community, Open Source No Comments

The “TomEE for the Holidays” campaign ended on January 16th of this year. It was great to see so many new Contributors (close to 50) join the TomEE project. In addition, participation from veteran contributors skyrocketed resulting in a level of communication and collaboration that would make any open source community proud. With the success of the “TomEE for the Holidays” initiative, the question became obvious: “How can we (Tomitribe) maintain a high level of participation and comradery in the project?” There were many things that made “TomEE for the Holidays” a success. Encouraging people new to open source to…
