In a previous article, WebSocket and Lock it! we showed how to use basic authentication on websocket calls to an application deployed on TomEE.In this article, we explain how to add SSL/TLS security to the connection between the client and the application server. To demonstrate this, we’ve created a new wss-secured-websocket project. This work is valid both for Secure Websocket (WSS) and HTTPS.
TomEE: A Tutorial on MicroProfile Fault Tolerance
This is the final of a series of 3 articles dedicated to the MicroProfile Fault Tolerance. We started by introducing and giving an overview of the specification in “MicroProfile Fault Tolerance, Take 2”. Next, we explained the different annotations and their options in “MicroProfile Fault Tolerance Annotations”.
MicroProfile Fault Tolerance Annotations
In our last article about Microprofile Fault Tolerance we explained the motivation for this project and the need to provide a few design patterns under the microservice friendly Microprofile spec, namely:
- Bulkhead – isolate failures in part of the system.
- Circuit breaker – offer a way to fail fast.
- Retry – define criteria on when to retry.
- Fallback – provide an alternative solution for a failed execution.
MicroProfile Fault Tolerance, Take 2
Understanding Fault Tolerance and the strategies of resilience and eventual consistency are extremely important to microservices. This article an update and expansion of an article written in April of this year. It’s the first part in a series of articles explaining how the MicroProfile Fault Tolerance specification is used in microservices.
The REST Security Road Trip
My road trip from Coimbra, Portugal to Madrid, Spain, where I spoke to the Madrid JUG about REST security, was beautiful, but full of wrong turns, some potholes, and flash thunderstorms.
