Enterprise Social for the Java Platform: Shares, Mashups, Likes, and Ways to Integrate Social Media into Your Cloud Native Enterprise Java Applications

Learn everything you need to know about frameworks that help developers to integrate their solutions with social networks or APIs, from general purpose (Facebook, Twitter, Google, Mastodon) to specialized (LinkedIn, Xing, WhatsApp, YouTube, Instagram, Flickr, TikTok) to vertical (eToro, Fitbit, Strava). This book will teach you how to add social media features to web applications or services developed using Java, Jakarta EE, or generally running on a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

Jam-packed with practical examples of social integration into enterprise applications, you’ll learn how to address common requirements such as social login, identity federation, single sign-on via social accounts, OpenID Connect, and mashups. You’ll also see how to leverage Java social frameworks like Facebook Business SDK, Twitter4J, Agorava, Keycloak, and Spring Security.

Enterprise Social for the Java Platform is an excellent companion to books covering Jakarta EE Security, Spring Security, portals, and related frameworks. Upon completing it, you’ll be armed with the expertise you need to integrate your own Java enterprise applications with social media networks.
