JVisualVM

JVisualVM is distributed with the JDK until JDK8. In Java 9 and above run it separately via https://visualvm.github.io/download.html

Java Versions

Java 17 LTS - Sept 2021

Java 16 - March 2021

https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase-downloads.html#JDK16

Use Records https://openjdk.java.net/jeps/395 instead of Lombok Reference Architecture#AddLombokAPTIDEtool

Java 11 LTS

In general even switching your JDK to 11 will add a 40% increase in single thread performance even running JDK8 compiled bytecode.

see Performance#Java11support

Get 11.0.5 directly from https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk11-downloads-5066655.html

It makes sense to move from Java 8 to 11 (not 9/10 or 12/13) because 11 is the LTS until 17 becomes LTS. Support for Java11 also is in Spring 5.1

Required for JDK 11 support (spring 5.1+)

spring-boot 2.1.x = Spring core 5.1.5

spring-boot 2.2.0-RC = Spring core 5.2.0

Therefore we need to up our spring-boot version from 2.0 to 2.1 to pickup spring 5.1 which support Java 11 https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-boot/wiki/Spring-Boot-2.1-Release-Notes

To deploy SB 5.1 apps we will also need to upgrade from Tomcat 8.5 to 9.0, Hibernate to 5.3 and JUnit to 5.2

Java changes from 8 to 11 - primarily I see reactive streams as the main feature in J9 and local variable changes, concurrency improvements

Java 11 adds

+ local var lambda params and (http client, JRockit Flight Recorder, TLS 1.3)

Java 10 (discontinued) adds

+ local var type inference, threadlocal handshakes

Java 9 (discontinued) adds

+ reactive streams and (modules, jshell, concurrency updates)

Prototype with but do not put into production Java 12-13 for now until we are close to Java 17 LTS (in 18+ months)

Java 11 removal of JAXB - add 2.3.0 directly to your pom.xml

Reference

Mockito Testing

There several ways to shallow or deep mock controller, service and repository components.

https://github.com/obrienlabs/magellan/blob/master/magellan-nbi/src/test/java/global/packet/magellan/ForwardingControllerTest.java

public class ForwardingControllerTest {
	// controller is unmocked, but service bean inside is mocked
	private @InjectMocks ForwardingController controller = Mockito.mock(ForwardingController.class);

	@Before
	public void setup() {
		MockitoAnnotations.initMocks(this);
	}
	
	@Test
	public void testForwardRequest() {
		String expected = "ok";
		Mockito.when(controller.getHealth())
			.thenReturn(expected);
		String response = controller.getHealth();
		Assertions.assertNotNull(response);

Integration Testing

CD Junit Testing

Add the following spring annotations - added automatically by the spring boot wizard
This test will actually start the container and perform anything on startup - like connecting to a persistent store for example - it should be run only if the jenkins CI server can also run CD.

@RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
@SpringBootTest
public class NbiApplicationTests {
	@Test
	// fix jpa db context later
	public void contextLoads() {
	}

Maven

Maven Central HTTPS support as of 15 Jan 2020

I am running fine on my macbook pro but not on my jenkins server

Issue: During a maven build pulling new artifacts - for example switching from Spring boot 2.1.3 to 2.2.4 you can no longer pull from maven central without SSL support

Add HTTPS support in Maven Builds

Use Maven 3.6.3 - and in the case of Jenkins upgrade from Maven 3.2 to 3.4 at least so that we can pull from maven central
