One reason of Java's great success as programming language, is that it has dominated Enterprise space. Earlier J2EE used to be the popular platform, but now we have more modern and improved Java EE platform, with latest release of Java EE 7. Java Platform, Enterprise Edition 7 provides new features that includes enhanced HTML5 support, increases developer productivity, and further improves how enterprise demands can be met. One of the biggest advantage of Java EE 7 is reduction of boiler plate code. Java EE 7 developers will write less boilerplate code, have better support for the latest Web applications and frameworks, and gain access to enhanced scalability and richer, simpler functionality and enterprises will benefit from improved scalability and new features that enable portable batch processing. One of the biggest challenge of Java EE developer or any programmer is to keep himself updated with latest technical development in his area. Blogs are good source to learn new technologies and keep yourself updated. With that view in mind, I am sharing some of the best blogs on Java EE space. I personally follow these blogs and they are written by authorities on Java EE. Personalities like Arun Gupta, Adam Bien doesn't need any introduction.
Arun Gupta's Blog
Arun Gupta is a popular name in Java community. He is Director of Developer Advocacy at Red Hat and focuses on JBoss Middleware. As a founding member of the Java EE team at Sun Microsystems, he spread the love for technology all around the world. He is also instrumental in global launch of the Java EE 7 platform and frequent speaker on various Java EE forums. Arun is also author of Java EE 7 Essentials, Enterprise Developer Handbook. His blog is good source of new information on Java EE front. You can also found lots of Java EE 7 samples and information on Glasfish, JBoss and Red Hat technologies.
Adam Bien's Weblog
One of the first few blog I suggest to any J2EE or Java EE developer is Adam Bien's weblog . Adam Bien is another popular name in Java community, he is also author of Real World Java EE Patterns Rethinking Best Practices, and Real World Java EE Night Hacks—Dissecting the Business Tier, couple of good books in Java EE. He is also a Java Champion, NetBeans Dream Team Founding Member, Oracle ACE Director, Java Developer of the Year 2010 and I was chosen by attendees of my sessions as JavaOne 2009 and double 2011 Rock Star. You will find lots of Java and JavaEE information in his blog including Java EE 7.
Antonio Goncalves Blog
Antonio Goncalves is a senior software architect living in Paris. He has started working in IT in 1992. Initially focused in C and C++ developmentand switched to Java in the late 1990s. He now work as an independent Java EE consultant. As a former BEA consultant he has great expertise in application servers such as Weblogic, JBoss and GlassFish. He has authored popular Java EE books Beginning Java EE 7 and Beginning Java EE 6 with GlassFish 3 as Expert's Voice in Java Technology series. He is also the co-creator and co-leader of the Paris Java User Group and more recently Devoxx France and frequent speaker on Java One sessions.
Pascal Alma's Blog
The Pragmatic Integrator is another good blog for Java EE developers. It contains all kind of issues he has run into while working as an integration specialist in ICT. Pascal is a senior JEE Developer and Architect. Pascal has been designing and building J2EE applications since 2001. He is particularly interested in Open Source tool stack (Mule, Spring Framework, JBoss) and technologies like Web Services, SOA and Cloud technologies.
Reza Rahman's Blog
Reza Rahman is a former independent consultant, now Java EE/GlassFish evangelist. Reza has been a member of the Java EE, EJB and JMS expert groups. He implemented the EJB container for the Resin open source Java EE application server, and He is the author of popular book EJB 3 in Action. Reza is a frequent speaker at Java User Groups and conferences worldwide. His blog is full of information on Java EE 7 and related technologies, including various presentation on Java EE, Websocket and GlassFish.
The Aquarium
This is suggested by Reza Rahman himself. In his own word "The nice thing about The Aquarium is that we try to feature a lot of folks that would otherwise probably not get much exposure." The Aquarium is primarily a news site from Glassfish community. Given the lack of good content on Java EE, I guess following this single blog will give best of Java EE world.
Markus Eisele's Blog
Earlier I missed Markus' blog, Enterprise Software Development with Java, but thanks to Bennet Schulz, I am adding it now. Markus is a Developer Advocate at Red Hat and focuses on JBoss Middleware. He is working with Java EE servers from different vendors since more than 14 years and talks about his favorite topics around Java EE on conferences all over the world. His blog is about software development for the enterprise. Focus on Java EE and more general Java platforms. You'll read a lot about Java EE, Integration, AS7, WildFly, EAP and other technologies. He is also a Java Champion and well known in the community.
That's all on this list of good Java EE blogs. Though there are many more blogs, which are providing good tutorials, personal experience and examples on Java EE technologies, but sometime it's difficult to follow lot of peoples. All of these blogs are written by people who has authority and experience on Java EE space, and they are also constantly updated to including new editions e.g. Java EE 7. Nevertheless, if you think, there is some good Java EE blog, which is not in this list, then feel free to suggest.
