How to Create a Java EE 6 Application with JSF 2, EJB 3.1, JPA, and NetBeans IDE 6.8

There are many articles and tutorials out there that discuss how to use the individual technologies in Java EE 6, e.g., JSF 2, EJB 3.1, JPA, etc, to develop an application, but I haven’t seen one that puts together the said technologies and showcases them in one tutorial with an end-to-end demonstration. As such, I thought I would create one here for the benefit of those who are new to JEE6 and NetBeans IDE 6.8 and those who are seriously looking at NetBeans IDE 6.8 as a tool for developing their enterprise applications.

This article published on Netbeans Zone aims to provide detailed steps to develop a web-based application based on technologies in the JEE6 specs, i.e., JavaServer Faces 2.0 (JSF), Enterprise Java Beans 3.1 (Session Bean and Message-Driven Bean) and Java Persistence API (JPA) with the help of NetBeans IDE 6.8 as the development & deployment tool. The example in this tutorial creates a web application called “CustomerApp” that performs only the Retrieve and Update functions of CRUD on the customer records provided by the NetBeans Sample database served by the Glassfish built-in database server, JavaDB (Derby). In addition to the above-mentioned technologies from JEE6, PrimeFaces for JSF2 will also be used as the Ajax-based Framework for the Web UI portion which is lacking in the stack. So, this tutorial also discusses how PrimeFaces can be integrated into NetBeans IDE and to enable Ajax capabilities for Web projects.

The objective of the tutorial is to demonstrate the ease of using the various JEE6 technologies and putting them together to create an enterprise-ready web-based application. Although the application is developed for demo purposes, its architecture represents the best practices in developing an enterprise application, whereby modularity, scalability, and reusability are taken into consideration.

Liferay An Open Source Portal Development Platform

Liferay Portal has proved itself as the world’s leading open source portal platform in open source web development. Because of its reliability, cost effectiveness and capability to support the development of innovative internet-based applications, Liferay portal is increasingly being used globally across industries for their most challenging information technology needs. Liferay Portal is the only open source portal that is compatible with any application server, database server, or operating system. It also supports many different servlet containers.

Liferay Enterprise Edition Vs Liferay Professional Edition

Liferay Portal comes in two flavors: Professional and Enterprise editions. Below is a brief comparison between the two.

Liferay Portal Enterprise edition is based on Java Enterprise Beans whereas the Liferay Professional version is based on POJO and uses Spring framework. Thus building EJBs should only be done using Liferay Portal Enterprise. Liferay Portal Enterprise requires a complete J2EE application server whereas Liferay Professional can run on any simple servlet container. Liferay Portal Enterprise Edition (EE), being the most stable version of the product, serves�companies targeting to maintain one stable version of the product for an extended period of time.

Companies worldwide have been using Liferay Portal because of its high-end functionality, compatibility with most major application servers and database platforms, and scalability.

Native Seam Support Wanted for NetBeans & Glassfish

Jboss Seam logoJboss SEAM is by far the best programming framework for Java EE development as it solves most of the problems which arose for achieving a true MVC 2 implementation. All of the other frameworks like Struts and Spring MVC when used with presentation layer specifications like JSP and JSF 1.x while almost succeeding in the arena, when it came to agile development, they created at least as many other problems – if not more - as the ones they solved. Enter Jboss Seam which uses JSF 2 for the presentation layer which is truely a Java EE specification and for the rest of the MVC paradigm which consists of the business logic and the data persistence layer achieved respectively by EJB and JPA.

Joesph Faisal Nusairat had this to say in his book Beginning Jboss Seam from Novice to Professional. 

For years developers realized that the JavaServer Pages (JSP)/servlets paradigm was not enough to create enterprise-level web pages. That model provided the capability for a web tier that could pass objects from the client to the server, but essentially that was it. For most developers, this simple paradigm was not enough; more-complex operations were needed, and developers found themselves writing infrastructure code to deal with the shortcomings of the Servlet specification. Eventually, all the ideas learned from creating custom infrastructure code resulted in the web frameworks we know today, such as Apache’s Struts and Tapestry, OpenSymphony’s WebWork, and so forth. The Java community also got together and through the Java Community Process (JCP) created the JSF specification to tackle some of the issues raised and deal with the shortcomings of the Servlet specification.

Even though we now have web and business tiers with improved functionality, we have still been forced to create the plumbing code needed to connect them together. With Seam, however, these two areas can now focus more exclusively on what they do best—presentation and business logic.

Effectiveness of ASP.NET

Active Server Pages (ASP), also known as Classic ASP or ASP Classic, was Microsoft’s first server-side script engine for dynamically-generated web pages. Initially released as an add-on to Internet Information Services (IIS) via the Windows NT 4. 0 Option Pack, it was subsequently included as a free component of Windows Server (since the initial release of Windows 2000 Server). It has now been superseded by ASP. NET.

Developing functionality in ASP websites is enabled by the active scripting engine’s support of the Component Object Model (COM), with each object providing a related group of frequently-used functions and data attributes. In ASP 2. 0 there were six built-in objects: Application, ASPError, Request, Response, Server, and Session. Session, for example, is a cookie-based session object that maintains the state of variables from page to page. Functionality is further extended by objects which, when instantiated, provide access to the environment of the web server; as an example FileSystemObject (FSO) is used to create, read, update and delete files.

In order to evaluate and assess ASP. Net you have to first understand the acronym and then access the support provided. The full form of the acronym is Active Server Pages . Net. This dedicated Microsoft application has been developed to create web pages and wireless or internet enhanced Microsoft . Net web programming technologies.   ASP. net is rife with efficiency and effectiveness and forms an integral part of the software giant’s . Net vision. It is in this capacity that the . Net framework becomes indispensible to web programmers and developers. The end result created is dynamic and sophisticated. Continue reading “Effectiveness of ASP.NET”
