Beyond Java Coding: Enterprise Apps With NoSQL and Non-Java Languages on JVMs

Eugene Ciurana

The JVM is now the most frequent target for the implementation of new programming languages. Both scripting and compiled languages gain unprecedented portability and applicability when running on the JVM. These languages can be used for developing enterprise applications by augmenting or leveraging the Java platform’s functionality, or by eliminating the need for the Java language in some problem domains. Combined with NoSQL data stores they can help in producing applications that would take longer or be less flexible if written using traditional JEE techniques. Learn how to build third-party language and NoSQL functionality into enterprise Java applications, what to look for, what to avoid, and when and why it’s a good idea.
