Concurrent Programming with Java EE 7 and Java SE 8--Free Article

Java EE 7 is exciting, but combining this lean platform with Java 8 brings even more power with less code. In this free JavaMagazine article "Concurrent Programming with Java EE 7 and Java SE 8 I implemented some examples (23 listings :-)) to discuss this "synergy". For more concurrency control and statistics take a look at https://github.com/AdamBien/porcupine.

For even more Java EE 7 + Java 8 concurrency see you at Java EE Workshops at Munich Airport, Terminal 2 or Virtual Dedicated Workshops / consulting We will particularly focus on resiliency and concurrency during the Java EE Microservices workshop.

Why use porcupine instead of JSR-236? I thought direct usage of thread pools, etc, was a bad practice because it could cause trouble for container lifecycle.

@jieryn,

Porcupine uses JSR-236 managed threads in fully "compliant" way.

Why to use it?

1. Statistics are available for the app.
2. You can configure the "overload" behavior per thread pool.
3. You can create multiple thread pools on-the-fly.
4. You have full control over the configuration.

But you are right--if you don't need the flexibility, JSR-236 is just fine. In fact I use mostly plain JSR-236 without porcupine in most projects,

thanks for your feedback!,

Hi Adam
Link for javamag doesn't work.
When I searched for 2015 January February release on Internet I can find this release but another problem is that there are no code listings available.
Is it possible to access article in some other way?

Regards
Jaroslaw
