- Java EE 8 News
- Discussion around http://microprofile.io (http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/the_enterprise_java_future_is)
Questions from anonymous:
- Java EE status – during my studies, I utilized Java EE 6 for creating distributed system to monitor IT infrastructure. Now is 2016 and situation of Java EE is not in bright colors – Oracle reluctant to invest in Java EE standard, concern expressed in formation of “Java EE Guardians” that you are part of. I learned much from it and gave me ability to think “at scale”, distributed manner. But recent developments around standard, started my evaluation - if Java EE is worth pursuing in long term.
- Java EE Backend Development – I find great joy in creating backend software – RESTful web services in JAX-RS or Restlet, business logic or database integration using ORM (JPA or Hibernate). Not mentioning Big Data “movement” with Apache Hadoop and Spark frameworks. But Java EE offers I was looking up, almost always require Angular or other JS libraries. More and more employers require “Full-stack” engineers. Is simply market for specialized backend engineers is shrinking and should I adapt to it or is it simply reality of software development – backend can be reused and GUI trends (Desktop or Web) change all the time ?
- Java and JavaScript – In my projects, I always used statically typed languages – benefit for compile time checks (C/C++ or Java/C#) is undisputed. What would be your advice for Java engineer in regard to JavaScript ? Unavoidable future or majority of development but not all ?
- Thoughts on Golang ?

Hi Adam,
I hope it's allowed to ask 2 questions :) my second question has to do with monitoring an application as it came up at one of my clients today: how do you monitor the time elapsed during the execution of a method (the method is part of a call done in a micro service architecture)? Some of the methods (not all of them) have to be monitored and their execution evaluated.
One of the people during the meeting mentioned Java Simon (https://github.com/virgo47/javasimon) that I didn't knew about but as I had my computer with me during the meeting, I made a small check and using it for one of my methods moved it from a 2-liners to a 9-liners and I don't like to have things in my methods that make them explode.
What could you recommend for such a thing? And trying the add the monitoring and the logging by calling a logging service (case 2. of my previous question), the 2-liners method moved to be a 11-liners.
Thanks for your answer.
