In this session we’ll look at some of the options for running Java on Azure. We’ll look at the Azure plugin for Eclipse and how it enables creation, development, testing, and deployment of applications as well as some of the more advanced configuration options. We’ll also review how you can run official Oracle virtual machines including WebLogic. Finally we will look at our new Java support for Azure Web Sites, an easy-to-use PaaS hosting platform. You’ll leave understanding all of your options for running Java inside of Microsoft’s cloud.

“This initiative is all about bringing
Java to the masses in the cloud.
We will be providing a fully open
and unconstrained Java
environment – with open choice
of third-party stacks – for
developers and essential
applications deployed on Windows
Azure.”
Scott Sellers, Azul Systems President
and CEO

Blob Storage Concepts

31. Microsoft Azure
API Imports for Blob Storage
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.core.storage.*;
import com.microsoft.windowsazure.services.blob.client.*;

32. Microsoft Azure
Connect and Open a Container
// Define the connection-string with your values
public static final String storageConnectionString =
"DefaultEndpointsProtocol=http;" +
"AccountName=your_storage_account;" +
"AccountKey=your_storage_account_key";
CloudBlobContainer container =
blobClient.getContainerReference("mycontainer");
// Option - Create the container if it does not exist
container.createIfNotExist();

33. Microsoft Azure
Output URIs for a Container
for (ListBlobItem blobItem :
container.listBlobs()) {
System.out.println(blobItem.getUri());
}
