The document discusses challenges and best practices for deploying Java EE applications on cloud computing platforms, focusing on aspects such as elasticity, state management, and resource discovery. It emphasizes the importance of leveraging cloud features to improve application architecture and provides recommendations for avoiding vendor lock-in. Additionally, it evaluates various Java PaaS options and suggests utilizing features like CDI for better design.

- 35. Elasticity Challenges • State management • Application startup time • Communication complexity • Resource discovery
- 36. State management • Design for stateless services • Use stateless EJB • REST. • JAX-RS. • JSF features. • Client state saving. • Preemptive navigation (bookmarkable URLs).
- 37. State management • Store state in a distributed cache solution • Memcached, Infinispan, Oracle Coherence, etc. • JSR 107 (JCache) planned to Java EE 7. • Setup carefully the distributed cache to avoid high cost on data transfer over the network.
- 38. Application startup time • Reduce the application footprint. • Put static resources in separate deployment units. • Static resources may be available in a content delivery service. • Lazy load resources as much as possible.
- 39. Communication complexity • Decouple applications by using asynchronous messaging. • Create atomic idempotent services. • Keep dynamic data closer to the compute and static data closer to the end-user. • Consider to create database shards.

- 45. Resource discovery • Let resource management to the container. • Resource location became transparent to application by using CDI. • Use load balancers to access internal resources.

- 51. Last tips! • Prefer a cloud provider that provides the Java EE full stack. • Use CDI to support a business component model in a Java EE application deployed on a Web Container based cloud provider (Paas) • Avoid proprietary cloud services to avoid "cloud provider lock-in"
