Java Enterprise and Desktop: Spot The Difference
The two main branches of Java development, Enterpise and Desktop, have traditionally been seen as separate skill sets. But some current trends are contributing to blurring the line between the desktop and the web. For years I've been working on desktop Java with Swing and with the Eclipse platform. I've regarded JEE development as a separate activity, targeting the web market. Some changes in the industry have led me to question this assumption. What is an Enterprise Application Anyway? Before we discuss why desktop and enterprise Java aren’t all that different, we should look at what defines an application as an enterprise application An application that involves the integration of many resources An application with high performance requirements Scalable, secure and robust Easy to maintain and extend May run across a network If you look at what you are writing at the moment, I'm sure it must tick at least 3 out of the 5 points above. I would go as far to say that it covers almost 80% of all applications currently being developed. The important thing to take from this is that whether you are developing for your application server, or for your desktop environment, chances are you are developing an enterprise application. Signs of a Welcome Change Analysts at Gartner Group, writing in the report Trends in Platform Middleware state something that has been quite obvious from the past few years of enterprise development, often quoted by Rod Johnson. The popular Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) and .NET platform middleware technologies are increasingly inadequate to cover needs for extensive scalability and performance, event-based programming styles, advanced service-oriented architecture (SOA) and dynamic application developments. When the original J2EE architecture was defined, it tried, but failed to predict the future. By attempting to cover all cases, including more than its fair share of “what-if” scenarios, it became an overwhelming specification. Trends over the past few years have seen a rise of innovation in the open source community, giving us frameworks such as Spring and Hibernate, each dealing with a particular piece of the jigsaw. In particular, OSGi has given the chance to produce properly dynamic applications. Each of these frameworks can run as standalone on a desktop, or deployed on an application server. This lack of dependency on the application server gives the freedom to use the same approaches on different platforms. The Desktop Moves to the Web So far we’ve seen that the enterprise applications are becoming more lightweight and more modular thanks to Spring and OSGi. Integration with key third party APIs is easy thanks to the rise of open source. One of the most interesting trends in the past year has been the ramping up of the effort to move desktop quality software onto the web browser. Appcelerator’s Nolan Wright, notes that his RIA development platform will be making a move towards better desktop integration in a recent interview. We see the next big thing for us being desktop integration, but not at the expense of the browser. We want to have the power of the web in a desktop container, where we get to use features like drag n drop and saving files locally. Adobe AIR is already making progress in this area. With the expected spotlight to be on JavaFX at this year's JavaONE, we can see that Sun recognizes that we need to have a useful presentation layer for many target platforms. Google’s GWT API has been written to closely mirror what the Swing API looks like. Developers who previously thought themselves to be pure desktop can now find themselves comfortably developing front ends on either the desktop or the web, thanks to this trend. Online IDEs have been getting a lot more coverage, and are seen as one of the next big things. Eclipse has been making some moves towards this web-enabled future with the announcement of e4, and we can expect to see a lot more companies looking at this convergence of the web and the desktop. IBM’s Mike Wilson, leader of the Eclipse Platform project, explains why this change in focus needs to happen for Eclipse. I think it's very important for the Eclipse code base to move out to the Web, and get involved more in that space, because the world is changing. A lot of business software development is moving to Web-base UIs backed by services. We're also seeing the IDE world moving in that direction. The Part OSGi has to Play This move to service based software has many implications, not least a better, more modular design. It’s a natural evolution for software development to take, and helps to make the field more mature. OSGi plays a central role in this modular approach, providing a dynamic component model. As an example, Eclipse provides the Equinox OSGi framework, which can run in many modes – standalone on any JVM, as part of an Eclipse RCP application or to even deploy the Equinox WAR file on your Java EE server. Ian Skerrett, Director of Marketing for the Eclipse Foundation specifies the problem that the OSGi approach will solve. In Java we have SE (Standard Edition) and ME (Micro Edition) and EE (Enterprise Edition). These all require different models. It's portable, but not properly consistent. Infrastructure technology needs to be a lot more adaptable. It is fair to say that OSGi is one of the most important enabling technologies to get us to this goal of a better infrastructure where we just choose our target platform and deploy accordingly, rather than having to create separate projects to deal with different environments. What This Means for the Industry So how does this affect a daily developer's life? For a start, it's time to break down any barriers and pre-conceptions that you may have about either desktop or enterprise developers. To survive in the industry of the future, and I'm guessing around two years time here, we need to be able to work with both streams. Desktop developers need to ramp up on JEE skills - perhaps even looking at the older J2EE approaches to full appreciate the technologies provided - it's much more than just technologies for the web. On the other hand JEE developers need to familiarize themselves with the traditional user interface technologies such as Swing and SWT. At some point, we'll find a nice middle ground, but this knowledge will help us shape a better future for the Java applications we write. So, what do you think - have you seen this trend happening already where you work? Are there cases where we can't think of enterprise and desktop as the same thing?

Java EE6 Decorators, advanced usage
After my first article about Java EE6 decorators, it got some attention on dzone. I got some comments telling me the example isn’t exposing the true power of the decorator feature. The first thing I did not mention in my previous post is that we can combine a number of decorators and choose the order we want them executed. If you have a use case for it, you can easily define 2 decorators, by just defining them in the beans.xml file like this. be.styledideas.blog.decorator.HighDecorator be.styledideas.blog.decorator.LowDecorator So when we call our decorated class, we get the highdecorator entry, low decorator entry, actual decorated class, low decorator exit, highdecorator exit. So the decorator sequence in the file does matter. The true power of the Decorator feature in java EE6 is the ability to combine it with CDI annotations. As example I’ll use an Social media feed processor. So I have created an interface public interface SocialFeedProcessor { Feed process(String feed); } and provided 2 implementations, twitter and google+ public class TwitterFeedProcessor implements SocialFeedProcessor{ @Override public Feed process(String feed) { System.out.println("processing this twitter feed"); // processing logics return new Feed(feed); } } public class GooglePlusFeedProcessor implements SocialFeedProcessor { @Override public Feed process(String feed) { System.out.println("processing this google+ feed"); // processing logics return new Feed(feed); } } I’ll annotate these 2 beans by a custom Qualifier as described here @javax.inject.Qualifier @java.lang.annotation.Retention(RUNTIME) @java.lang.annotation.Target({FIELD, PARAMETER, TYPE}) @java.lang.annotation.Documented public @interface FeedProcessor { } and I annotate my 2 processors with it. @FeedProcessor public class TwitterFeedProcessor implements SocialFeedProcessor{ @Override public Feed process(String feed) { System.out.println("processing this twitter feed"); // processing logics return new Feed(feed); } } @FeedProcessor public class GooglePlusFeedProcessor implements SocialFeedProcessor { @Override public Feed process(String feed) { System.out.println("processing this google+ feed"); // processing logics return new Feed(feed); } } Nothing really special, but now when we write our decorator we use the power of CDI to only decorate the classes with the @FeedProcessor annotation. @Decorator public class SocialFeedDecorator implements SocialFeedProcessor { @Delegate private @FeedProcessor SocialFeedProcessor processor; @Override public Feed process(String feed) { System.out.println("our decorator is decorating"); return processor.process(feed); } } the only thing that is left is registering our decorator in our beans.xml be.styledideas.blog.decorator.SocialFeedDecorator By using the annotation, we automatically decorate all our implementations of the SocialfeedProcessor with this decorator. When we add an extra implementation of the SocialFeedProcessor without the annotation, the bean will not be decorated. From http://styledideas.be/blog/2011/08/04/java-ee6-decorators-advanced-usage/

Java EE 6 Pet Catalog with GlassFish and MySQL
This Pet Catalog app explains a web application that uses JSF 2.0, Java EE 6, GlassFish and MySQL. I took this example GlassFish and MySQL, Part 2: Building a CRUD Web Application With Data Persistence and modified it to use some of the new features of JSF 2.0 and Java EE 6. Download the sample code Explanation of the usage of JSF 2.0 and Java EE 6 in a sample Store Catalog Application The image below shows the Catalog Listing page, which allows a user to page through a list of items in a store. JSF 2.0 Facelets XHTML instead of JSP For JSF 2.0, Facelets XHTML is the preferred way to declare JSF Web Pages. JSP is supported for backwards compatibility, but not all JSF 2.0 features will be available for views using JSP as their page declaration language. JSF 2.0 Facelets has some nice features like templating (similar in functionality to Tiles) and composite components, which I'm not going to discuss here but you can read about that in this article: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsf2fu2/index.html and in this Tech Tip Composite UI Components in JSF 2.0. The Catalog application's resources JSF 2.0 standardizes how to define web resources. Resources are any artifacts that a component may need in order to be rendered properly -- images, CSS, or JavaScript files. With JSF 2.0 you put resources in a resources directory or a subdirectory. In your Facelets pages, you can access css files with the , javascript files with the , and images with the JSF tags. The list.xhtml uses the The Catalog application uses a resource bundle to contain the static text and error messages used by the Facelets pages. Putting messages in a resource bundle makes it easier to modify and internationalize your Application text. The messages are in a properties file in a java package directory. Title=Pet Catalog Next=Next Previous=Prev Name=Name The resource bundle is configured in the faces-config.xml File (you don't need any other configuration in the faces-config.xml for JSF 2.0, as explained later you no longer have to configure managed beans and navigation with XML). web.WebMessages msgs The List.xhtml facelets page uses a JSF dataTable component to display a list of catalog items in an html table. The dataTable component is useful when you want to show a set of results in a table. In a JavaServer Faces application, the UIData component (the superclass of dataTable) supports binding to a collection of data objects. It does the work of iterating over each record in the data source. The HTML dataTable renderer displays the data as an HTML table. In the list.xhtml web page the dataTable is defined as shown below: (Note: Red colors are for Java EE tags, annotations code, and Green is for my code or variables) The value attribute of a dataTable tag references the data to be included in the table. The var attribute specifies a name that is used by the components within the dataTable tag as an alias to the data referenced in the value attribute of dataTable. In the dataTable tag from the List.jsp page, the value attribute points to a list of catalog items. The var attribute points to a single item in that list. As the dataTable component iterates through the list, each reference to dataTableItem points to the current item in the list. JSF 2.0 Annotations instead of XML configuration The dataTable's value is bound to the items property of the catalog managed bean. With JSF 2.0 managed beans do not have to be configured in the faces-config.xml file, you annotate the managed beans instead as shown below: @ManagedBean @SessionScoped public class Catalog implements Serializable { By convention, the name of a managed bean is the same as the class name, with the first letter of the class name in lowercase. To specify a managed bean name you can use the name attribute of the ManagedBean annotation, like this: @ManagedBean(name = "Catalog"). This Catalog ManagedBean items property is defined as shown below: private List items = null; public List getItems() { if (items == null) { getPagingInfo(); items = getNextItems(pagingInfo.getBatchSize(), pagingInfo.getFirstItem()); } return items; } The getItems() method returns a List of item objects. The JSF dataTable, supports data binding to a collection of data objects. The dataTable object is modeled as a collection of row objects that can be accessed by a row index. The APIs provide mechanisms to position to a specified row index, and to retrieve an object that represents the data that corresponds to the current row index. The Item properties name, imagethumburl, and priceare displayed with the column component: The column tags represent columns of data in a dataTable component. While the dataTable component is iterating over the rows of data, it processes the UIColumn component associated with each column tag for each row in the table. The dataTable component iterates through the list of items (catalog.items) and displays the item (var="row") attribute value. Each time UIData iterates through the list of items, it renders one cell in each column. The dataTable and column tags use facet to represent parts of the table that are not repeated or updated. These include headers, footers, and captions. Java EE 6: JSF 2.0, EJB 3.1, and Java Persistence API (JPA) 2.0 The Catalog ManagedBean annotates the field private ItemFacade itemFacade; with @EJB , which causes an itemFacade EJB to be injected when the managed bean is instatiated. The Catalog getNextItems method calls the ItemFacade Stateless EJB which uses the Java Persistence API EntityManager Query object to return a list of items. @ManagedBean @SessionScoped public class Catalog implements Serializable { @EJB private ItemFacade itemFacade; public List getNextItems(int maxResults, int firstResult) { return itemFacade.findRange(maxResults, firstResult); } EJB 3.1 No-interface local client View With EJB 3.1, local EJBs do not have to a implement separate interface, that is, all public methods of the bean class are automatically exposed to the caller. Simplified Packaging With Java EE 6, EJBs can be directly packaged in a WAR file just like web components. The ItemFacade EJB uses the Java Persistence API EntityManager Query object to return a list of items. The ItemFacade EJB annotates the field private EntityManager em; with @PersistenceContext , which causes an entity manager to be injected when it is instatiated. @Stateless public class ItemFacade { @PersistenceContext(unitName = "catalogPU") private EntityManager em; public List findRange(int maxResults, int firstResult) { Query q = em.createQuery("select object(o) from Item as o"); q.setMaxResults(maxResults); q.setFirstResult(firstResult); return q.getResultList(); } The Java Persistence Query APIs are used to create and execute queries that can return a list of results. The JPA Query interface provides support for pagination via the setFirstResult() and setMaxResults() methods: q.setMaxResults(int maxResult) sets the maximum number of results to retrieve. q.setFirstResult(int startPosition) sets the position of the first result to retrieve. In the code below, we show the Item entity class which maps to the ITEM table that stores the item instances. This is a typical Java Persistence entity object. There are two requirements for an entity: annotating the class with an @Entity annotation. annotating the primary key identifier with @Id Because the fields name, description.... are basic mappings from the object fields to columns of the same name in the database table, they don't have to be annotated. The O/R relationships with Address and Product are also annotated. For more information on defining JPA entities see Pro EJB 3: Java Persistence API book. @Entity public class Item implements java.io.Serializable { @Id private Integer id; private String name; private String description; private String imageurl; private String imagethumburl; private BigDecimal price; @ManyToOne private Address address; @ManyToOne private Product product; public Item() { } public String getName() { return name; } public void setName(String name) { this.name = name; } ... } The Catalog ManagedBean pages through the list of Items by maintaining the PagingInfo.firstItem and PagingInfo.batchSize attributes and passing these as parameters to the getNextItems(firstItem, batchSize) method. The catalog's scope is defined with the annotation @SessionScoped, a JSF Managedbean with session scope will be stored in the session meaning that the bean's properties will stay alive for the life of the Http Session. A JSF commandButton is used to provide a button to click on to display the next page of items. The commandButton tag is used to submit an action event to the application. This commandButton action attribute references the catalog Managed bean next() method which calculates the next page's first row number and returns a logical outcome String, which causes the list.xhtml page to display the next page's list . The catalog next method is defined as shown below: public String next() { if (firstItem + batchSize < itemCount()) { firstItem += batchSize; } return "list"; } JSF 2.0 Simplified Navigation The JavaServer Faces 2.0 NavigationHandler convention adds .xhtml to the logical outcome of the action method (in this example list) and loads that file, in this case, it loads the list .xhtml page after this method returns. If the action doesn't begin with a forward slash (/), JSF assumes that it's a relative path. You can specify an absolute path by adding the slash like this "/items/list". A JSF commandLink is used to provide a link to click on to display a page with the item details. This commandLink action attribute references The catalog showDetail() method: With JSF 2.0 you can now specify parameters in method expressions. The dataTable row object associated with the selected link is passed as a parameter in the "#{catalog.showDetail(row)}" method expression. The Catalog showDetail() method gets the item data from the input parameter, and returns a string which causes the detail.xhtml page to display the item details : public String showDetail(Item item) { this.item = item; return "detail"; } The JavaServer Faces NavigationHandler adds .xhtml to the logical outcome of the action, detail and loads that file. In this case, the JavaServer Faces implementation loads the detail.xhtml page after this method returns. The detail.xhtml uses the outputText component to display the catalog ManagedBean's item properties: GlassFish v3 is a lightweight server OSGi-based; Embedded API; RESTful admin API; Lightweight and fast startup; iterative development cycle "edit-save-refresh browser": Incremental compile of all JSF 2.0 artifacts when you save. Auto-deploy of all web or Java EE 6 artifacts Session retention: maintain sessions across re-deployments Conclusion This concludes the sample application which demonstrates a pet catalog web application which uses Java EE 6, GlassFish v3 and MySQL. Running the Sample Application Download and install NetBeans IDE 6.8 M1 with GlassFish v3 b57 (Glassfish v3 preview is Java EE 6 Preview) , and MySQL Community Server . Follow these instructions to set up a jdbc-driver for MySQL. (Normally this is already setup with Glassfish, but I got an errror message with Glassfish v3 b57 that it was missing) Download the sample code. Unzip the catalog.zip file which you downloaded, this will create a catalog directory with the project code. Create the Pet Catalog database In order to run the sample code you first have to create the Pet Catalog database and fill in the Item table. Start NetBeans IDE Ensure that GlassFish is registered in the NetBeans IDE, as follows: Click the Services tab in the NetBeans IDE. Expand the Servers node. You should see GlassFish v2 in the list of servers. If not, register GlassFish v2 as follows: Right-click the Servers node and select Add Server. This opens an Add Server Instance wizard. Select GlassFish v2 in the server list of the wizard and click the Next button. Enter the location information for the server and click the Next button. Enter the admin name and password and click the Finish button. Start the MySQL or Java DB database as follows: Click the Services tab in the NetBeans IDE. Expand the databases node. You should see the Java DB database in the list of databases. If you have installed the MySQL server database, you should also see the MySQL database in the list of databases.. Note: Java DB comes bundled with Netbeans, you can download MySQL separately. Right-mouse click on the Java DB or MySQL server database and select Start. If you installed MySQL, set the properties of the MySQL server database as follows: Right-click on the MySQL server database and select Properties. This opens the MySQL Server Properties dialog box, as shown in Figure 8. Figure 8. MySQL Server Basic Properties In the Basic Properties tab, enter the server host name and port number. The IDE specifies localhost as the default server host name and 3306 as the default server port number. Enter the administrator user name, if not displayed, and the administrator password -- the default administrator password is blank. Click the Admin Properties tab. Enter an appropriate path in the Path/URL to admin tool field. You can find the path by browsing to the location of a MySQL Administration application such as the MySQL Admin Tool. Enter an appropriate path in the Path to start command. You can find the path by browsing to the location of the MySQL start command. To find the start command, look for mysqld in the bin folder of the MySQL installation directory. Enter an appropriate path in the Path to stop command field. You can find the path by browsing to the location of the MySQL stop command. This is usually the path to mysqladmin in the bin folder of the MySQL installation directory. If the command is mysqladmin, in the Arguments field, type -u root stop to grant root permissions for stopping the server. The Admin Properties tab should look similar to Figure 9. Figure 9. MySQL Server Administration Properties Click the OK button. Right-click on the MySQL server or Java DB database and select Start. Create the petcatalog database as follows: Right-mouse click on the Java DB or MySQL server database and select Create Database. This will open a create Database window. Enter the database name catalog for Java DB or petcatalog for MySQL. For Java DB enter userid password app app as shown below: Click O.K. to accept the displayed settings. Create the tables in the catalog database as follows: Underneath Databases you should see a database connection for the petcatalog database. For example MySQL: or Java DB: Right-mouse click on the petcatalog connection and select Connect. Right-mouse click on the petcatalog connection and select Execute Command. This will open up a SQL command window. Copy the contents of the catalog.sql file in the catalog directory and paste the contents into the SQL command window, as shown in below: Click the Run SQL icon (Ctrl+Shift+E) above the SQL command window. Note: It is ok to see this: "Error code -1, SQL state 42Y55: 'DROP TABLE' cannot be performed on 'ITEM' because it does not exist. Line 2, column 1" . This just means you are deleting a table that does not exist. If you need to delete and recreate the tables you will not see this message the second time. View the data in the Pet Catalog database Item table as follows: Underneath Databases you should see a database connection for the petcatalog database. For example MySQL: or Java DB: If the database connection is broken like in the following diagram: Right-mouse click on the petcatalog connection and select Connect. as shown below: if prompted for a password, for MySQL leave it blank, for JavaDB enter user app password app. Expand the Tables node below the petcatalog database in the Services window. You should see the item table under the Tables node. You can expand the item table node to see the table columns, indexes, and any foreign keys, as shown in below : Figure 12. An Expanded Table Node You can view the contents of a table or column by right-clicking the table or column and selecting View Data as shown below: Figure 13. Viewing the Contents of a Table Follow these instructions to Create a JDBC Connection pool and JDBC resource. Name the pool mysql_petcatalog_rootPool and the jndi resource jdbc/petcatalog. Note: you do not have to create a JDBC connection pool and resource if you use the Netbeans wizard to generate JPA entities from database tables as described in this article GlassFish and MySQL, Part 2: Building a CRUD Web Application With Data Persistence. Open the catalog/setup/sun-resources.xml file and verify that the property values it specifies match those of the petcatalog database and jdbc resources you created. Edit the property values as necessary. Running the Sample solution: If you want to run the sample solution, you have to create the catalog database tables first as described above. Open the catalog project as follows: In NetBeans IDE, click Open Project in the File menu. This opens the Open Project dialog. Navigate in the Open Project dialog to the catalog directory and click the Open Project button. In response, the IDE opens the catalog project. You can view the logical structure of the project in the Projects window (Ctrl-1). Run the catalog by right-clicking on the catalog project in the Projects window and selecting Run Project. The NetBeans IDE compiles the application, deploys it on Glassfish, and brings up the default page in your browser. (at http://localhost:8080/catalog/).

Java Developers, Don't Throw Out Your Mac Yet: Apple Will Contribute To OpenJDK
Finally, some very good news for the Java community. For those who were worried about the future of Java on OSX, don't worry: Apple have just announced that they will be working with Oracle on the OpenJDK project. Apple will contribute most of the key components, tools and technology required for Java SE 7 on Mac OS X. Following the announcement that Apple would not longer be maintaining further JDK updates on Mac OS X beyond the most recent update, this comes as very welcome news to Oracle: “We are excited to welcome Apple as a significant contributor in the growing OpenJDK community,” said Hasan Rizvi, Oracle’s senior vice president of Development. “The availability of Java on Mac OS X plays a key role in the cross-platform promise of the Java platform. The Java developer community can rest assured that the leading edge Java environment will continue to be available on Mac OS X in the future. Combined with last month’s announcement of IBM joining the OpenJDK, the project now has the backing of three of the biggest names in software.” And of course, Apple are happy to keep Java developers happy: “We’re delighted to be working with Oracle to insure that there continues to be a great version of Java on the Mac,” said Bertrand Serlet, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering. “The best way for our users to always have the most up to date and secure version of Java will be to get it directly from Oracle.” Apple also confirmed that Java SE 6 will continue to be available from Apple for Mac OS X Snow Leopard® and the upcoming release of Mac OS X Lion. Java SE 7 and future versions of Java for Mac OS X will be available from Oracle. Henrick has already blogged about this, answering some of questions that are likely to be on developers minds: Q: When will JDK 7 be available for OSX? A: My expectation is that we will release on current supported platforms first, and that OSX support will follow later. The JDK 7 schedule can not easily accomodate large changes like the addition of a new platform. This is great news. Once again we're seeing Oracle listening to community comments, and it's good to see that recent pleas to Apple to contribute their work to the OpenJDK haven't fallen on deaf ears. Kudos to both companies for a continued committment to Java.
