Web Profile
7
Profiles
Increase Flexibility and Focus Bundles of technologies targeting specific classes of applications Decoupled from each other With compatibility guarantees
Web Profile
A Modern Java Web Application Stack First profile to be defined Mid-size, fully functional Complete, but not the kitchen sink
Web Profile
Contents Servlet JSP / EL JSTL JSF Bean Validation EJB Lite JPA JTA DI CDI Managed Beans Interceptors JSR-250
10
Pruning
Two-step Process Addresses bloat concern These technologies will become optional in the next release:
> > > >
JAX-RPC EJB 2.x Entity Beans JAXR JSR-88
11
Pluggability / Extensibility
Goals Focus on the web tier Simplify packaging of web apps > Zero-configuration Create a level playing field for third party libraries and frameworks
12
Modular Web Applications
Servlet 3.0 Libraries can contain a webfragment.xml descriptor web.xml is now optional Ability to serve resources out of jars with /META-INF/resources
13
Web Fragment
META-INF/web-fragment.xml
<web-fragment version=3.0 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"> <servlet> <servlet-name>welcome</servlet-name> <servlet-class>WelcomeServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <listener> <listener-class>RequestListener</listener-class> </listener> </web-fragment>
14
Pluggability
Servlet 3.0 ServletContainerInitializer interface implemented by extensions @HandlesTypes to declare interest in one or more annotation types ServletContext now contains method to dynamically register servlets and filters
15
Servlet Container Extension
Registered using META-INF/services
@HandlesTypes(WebService.class) public class WSInitializer implements ServletContainerInitializer { public void onStartup(Set<Class<?>> c, ServletContext ctx) { ServletRegistration r = ctx.addServlet(...); r.addServletMapping(...); } }
16
Asynchronous Processing
Servlet 3.0 New programming model for async request processing > e.g. Comet, chat, push apps Opt-in model @WebServlet(asyncSupported=true) Threads are managed by the container
17
EJB 3.1
Ease of development @Singleton beans @Startup beans @Asynchronous invocations No interface view Define EJBs directly inside a web application EJBContainer API works on Java SE
18
Simplified Packaging
Adding an EJB to a Web Application
BuyBooks.war ShoppingCart EJB Class ShoppingCart EJB Class
ShoppingCart.jar
BuyBooks.war
BuyBooks.war
19
EJB 3.1 Lite
A subset of EJB 3.1 All types of session beans > stateful, stateless, singleton Declarative transactions and security Interceptors ejb.xml descriptor allowed
20
Dependency Injection
DI 1.0 / CDI 1.0 New @Inject annotation @Inject @LoggedIn User user; Beans autodiscovered at startup Injection metamodel (BeanManager API) @Resource still available for container resources
21
RESTful Web Services
JAX-RS 1.1 Already widely adopted Really a high-level HTTP API Annotation-based programming model Programmatic API when needed
22
JAX-RS Resource Class
Identified by the @Path annotation
@Path(widgets/{id}) @Produces(application/widgets+xml) public class WidgetResource { public WidgetResource(@PathParam(id) String id) { } @GET Widget getWidget() { } }
23
Standard Validation API
Bean Validation 1.0 Integrated with JSF, JPA Constraints represented by annotations @NotNull @Size(max=40) String address; Fully extensible @Email String recipient;
24
Persistence
JPA 2.0 Support for collections of basic types and embeddable objects JPQL enhancements > e.g. CASE WHEN, NULLIF Pessimistic locking Criteria API for dynamic query construction
25
Sample Query Using the Criteria API
Uses the canonical metamodel classes
EntityManager em = ... ; CriteriaBuilder cb = em.getCriteriaBuilder(); CriteriaQuery<Employee> cq = cb.createQuery(Employee.class); Root<Employee> emp = cq.from(Employee.class); cq.select(emp); cq.where(cb.equal(emp.get(Employee_.lastName), "Smith")); TypedQuery<Employee> query = em.createQuery(cq); List<Employee> rows = query.getResultList();
26
Connectors
Java Connector Architecture 1.6 Annotation-based programming model for resource adapters Generic work context > QoS across EIS Security contract for RAs
27
Ease of Development
Some of the strategies we applied Capture common patterns Fix inconsistencies Adopt what works Make APIs work better together Reducing packaging overhead Be transparent
