Java EE 8 (using NetBeans IDE 8.2) starting from sample code Part 1 Environment construction

Java EE 8 finally released

Two weeks have passed since the release of Java EE 8. Suddenly just before JavaOne? (Or is it planned?) I was surprised at the announcement of the official release.

I tried a trial program of Java EE 8 while experimenting with some applications while using the sample program provided from the IDE (NetBeans) environment settings.

First of all, environment construction

From the Java EE 8 SDK download

Java EE 8 SDK download page Download the "Java EE 8 Platform SDK" from. (I want to try various things)

As stated on the page, the SDK includes sources and APIs as well as

--Code sample --API documentation --Tutorial

And Glassfish 5 is included. After downloading, unzip and place it in any folder. This time, I placed it directly under C (C: \ java_ee_sdk-8 \ glassfish5).

Install Netbeans 8.2

Netbeans 8.2 download page Download from

At the time of installation, proceed according to the screen, but since the first "Select application server to install with IDE" is Glassfish 4.1.1, uncheck the check box and do not enter it in the installer.

Add server instance

After successfully installing Netbeans 8.2, start it Add the application server that was not included during installation.

Select a server

Menu> Tools> Server Bring up the server screen from and click the "Add Server" button to add a server instance. Server: GlassFish Server Name: (optional) "next"

Server location

Installation location: C: \ java_ee_sdk-8 \ glassfish5 (* Specify the location of GlassFish 5 (JavaEE8) that you placed earlier) ● Local domain Check the license agreement by reading the check box of "next"

Domain location

Domain: domain1 (default) Host: localhost (check loopback) DAS port: 4848 HTTP port: 8080

• Others have not been entered. This default setting should be fine unless you have added a separate server "End"

The environment for Java EE 8 / GlassFish 5 is now ready. The figure below shows that the server type can be read properly.

By the way, even in the latest version of Eclipse (currently Oxgen), server settings are only allowed up to GlassFish 3.x or 4.x. Prepare an embedded environment etc. separately and test it.

Next time to create a sample program

Set the location to C: \ java_ee_sdk-8 \ glassfish5 and write the location of the sample, tutorial and API specifications.

Sample program

sample C:\java_ee_sdk-8\glassfish5\samples On the net, on github here It is being added more and more.

tutorial

The tutorial is C:\java_ee_sdk-8\glassfish5\docs\javaee-tutorial\doc I wonder if here is fine on the net. .. ..

API reference (API specification)

API documentation C:\java_ee_sdk-8\glassfish5\docs\api\javaee-full On the net, here (API)

Next time, I will try to create a project.
