This post will be the biggest so far in my blog! We will see a full web application. It will be done will the newest technologies (until today), but I will give some hints to show how to adapt this post to older technologies. In the end of this post you will find the source code to download. You can ...

View – Creation and JSF set up This tutorial continues from part 1. Let us create a new Dynamic Web Project. Create it like the image bellow: Pay attention: in some moment the Eclipse will ask you if you want to add the JSF Capabilities (auto complete), enable it. Like the screens bellow: After the project creation, let us edit ...

One of the most common requests we hear from Enterprise JavaBeans developers is for improved unit/integration testing support. EJB 3.1 Specification introduced the EJB 3.1 Embeddable API for executing EJB components within a Java SE environment. Unlike traditional Java EE server-based execution, embeddable usage allows client code and its corresponding enterprise beans to run within the same JVM and class ...

In Java EE 6 Testing Part I I briefly introduced the EJB 3.1 Embeddable API using Glassfish embedded container to demonstrate how to start the container, lookup a bean in the project classpath and run a very simple integration test. This post focus on Arquillian and ShrinkWrap and why they are awesome tools for integration testing of enterprise Java applications. ...

The previous posts ( Part1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4) about the Galleria example guided you through the basics and the initial deployment to both GlassFish and WebLogic. From today on I try to add some enterprise grade features to it as I have seen them requested a lot in my own projects. I know Vineet ...

You probably followed me with the last Java EE 6 Galleria example posts. The first one was the basic introduction. The second one was about running it on latest GlassFish. Someone of the RedHat guys mentioned, that we should look into bringing this example off from GlassFish. Great ;) Thanks for the nice idea. That is exactly what we are ...

It has been a long time since the last Service Locator I have implemented. I thought it wouldn’t be necessary anymore considering the maturity of the Java EE CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection). My first implementation was to make use of EJBs in a Struts-based web application. After that, I started working with JSF, which only requires annotated attributes with ...

As outlined in the previous parts of this series, the major drawback of the EJB v. 3.0 Specification was the lack of portable global JNDI names. This implies that there’s no portable way to link EJB references to a bean outside your application. The EJB v. 3.1 Specification fills this gap defining, in its own words: “a standardized global JNDI ...

In the previous posts we made an overview of the EJB v. 3.0 and of the portable mechanisms it provides you to build your Java EE application. Since Java EE specifications are all about portability, at the risk of repeating ourselves we’ve often stressed the most important portability limit still present on the EJB v. 3.0 specifications: there is no ...
