Java EE exercises without a server on localhost

Cristina · October 24th, 2015, 06:41 AM

Hello,

I was wondering if there existed any possibility to do the hands-on Java EE exercises without installing a server on my laptop. Something similar to Oracle Java Cloud, but free (or at least cheaper).

Thanks for any comments.

Hi Cristina,

Check out OpenShift, they offer free developer accounts. www.openshift.com

Hi,

Thank you for your advice. I did make an account at OpenShift, but I'm not very happy with having to install Ruby on my computer in order to use it.

I think I'll give a try to Azure during the end-of-year holiday.

All the best,

Cristina

I don't know why you don't want to install a server on your laptop.
But, i know that JAVA EE components are server side components (Servelets, JSPs, EJBs).
You need at least if you don't use EJBs to install a servelet container like tomcat.
