  • eclipse xDoclet EJB Tutorial

    Author: 2007-08-02 10:07:30 From:

    Create a new EJB Module Project. Right click on the package explorer or with shortcut ?Strg + n?.

    new EJB Project

    Create an EJB Class

    Within the project create a new EJB.








    • Make sure that the package ends with ".ejb" else xDoclet will not work!

    Now you should see the generated source code.






    Add xDoclet functionality

      • Open the project properties

      • Choose "MyEclipse-xDoclet"

      • Right click in the right upper window and choose ?Add Standard?.

      • Selet Standard EJB and OK



    Click on "Standard EJB" in the right upper window.



    Right click on ejbdoclet and choose jboss from the list.

    The following settings must be add.

    • Jboss Version, it is 3.2 for all 3.2.x

    • the destDir (where the the jboss.xml and jbosscmp-jdbc.xml will create)

    • You need a datasource, we will prepare this later. Take a name here like "java:/tutorialDS"

    • Datasource Mapping. Tells the Application Server what kind of field is used in the DB for a jdbc-type. Find out the name yourself by looking into

      {jboss_home}serverdefaultconfstandardjbosscmp-jdbc.xml.
      mysql is mySQL for example. But we are using PostgreSQL!




    Create Datasource Mapping

    • Copy the driver to (you will find it on http://www.postgresql.org) to
      jboss-3.2.4serverdefaultlib
    • Create the database in Postgre.
    • Create the tables and two fields fid and fname with type text.
    • You can find examples configuration files for all supported DBs in
      jboss-3.2.4docsexamplesjca
    • Copy the file postgres-ds.xml to
      jboss-3.2.4serverdefaultdeploy
    change the content of the file to:

    <datasources>
    <local-tx-datasource>
    <jndi-name>MyDS</jndi-name>
    <connection-url>
    jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/database-name
    </connection-url>
    <driver-class>org.postgresql.Driver</driver-class>
    <user-name>username</user-name>
    <password>password</password>
    </local-tx-datasource>
    </datasources>

    Edit source code

    Find the following position in the source code.

     * @ejb.bean name = "SimpleBean"
    * type = "CMP"
    * cmp-version = "2.x"
    * display-name = "SimpleBean"
    * description = "SimpleBean EJB"
    * view-type = "both"
    * jndi-name = "ejb/SimpleBeanHome"
    * local-jndi-name = "ejb/SimpleBeanLocalHome"
    *
    * @ejb:util
    * generate="physical"
    */
    public abstract class SimpleBean implements EntityBean {

    Add the following:

    * @ejb.bean name = "SimpleBean"
    * type = "CMP"
    * cmp-version = "2.x"
    * display-name = "SimpleBean"
    * description = "SimpleBean EJB"
    * view-type = "both"
    * jndi-name = "ejb/SimpleBeanHome"
    * local-jndi-name = "ejb/SimpleBeanLocalHome"
    * primkey-field = "id"
    * @ejb.persistence table-name = "tsimplebean"
    * @jboss.persistence table-name = "tsimplebean"
    * @ejb:util
    * generate="physical"

    Now we will add the Primary key field id and a second
    field name

    public abstract class SimpleBean implements EntityBean {

    /** The EntityContext */
    private EntityContext context;

    /**
    * @ejb.interface-method view-type = "both"
    * @ejb.persistence column-name = "fid"
    * @ejb.pk-field
    *
    * @return
    */
    public abstract String getId();

    /**
    * @ejb.interface-method view-type = "both"
    *
    * @param name
    */
    public abstract void setId(String id);

    /**
    * @ejb.interface-method view-type = "both"
    * @ejb.persistence column-name = "fname"
    *
    * @return
    */
    public abstract String getName();




    /**
    * @ejb.interface-method view-type = "both"
    *
    * @param name
    */
    public abstract void setName(String name);
    }

    Run xDoclet

    We have not completely finished the source code, but it is time for a first generation with xdoclet.
    Right click on the project and choose run xdoclet.







    Open the console and look if everything is OK.

    Your package should have an interface package now, with the generated home and local interfaces. You should have a jboss.xml and a jbosscmp-jdbc.xml in src/META-INF.




    Have a look in the file SimpleBeanUtil. You will find some useful functions.
    We will use one to finish our bean. Change the ejbCreate method to the following:



       * @ejb.create-method
    */
    public String ejbCreate() throws CreateException
    {
    this.setId(SimpleUtil.generateGUID(this));
    return null;
    }

    This will generate a random ID. That's it.

    Run the jboss server

    Start the jboss server and deploy the project.

    Now open http://localhost:8080/jmx-console in your browser and select service JNDI-View, than select operation ?list?

    You can see your bean module now and it should also occur in the global JNDI namespace.















    Test the Bean

    Create a Java project. Open the project properties and add the library j2ee and the jar jbossall-client.




    Include your EJB project.

    Create a new Class like the following and run it as java application.

    package de.laliluna.tutorial.simpleBean;

    import java.rmi.RemoteException;
    import java.util.Properties;

    import javax.ejb.CreateException;
    import javax.ejb.EJBException;
    import javax.naming.InitialContext;
    import javax.naming.NamingException;
    import javax.rmi.PortableRemoteObject;

    import de.laliluna.tutorial.simpleBean.interfaces.Simple;
    import de.laliluna.tutorial.simpleBean.interfaces.SimpleHome;

    /**
    * @author HS
    *
    *
    */
    public class SimpleBeanClient {

    Properties properties;

    public SimpleBeanClient() {
    properties = new Properties();
    properties.put("java.naming.factory.initial",
    "org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory");
    properties.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs",
    "org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces");
    properties.put("java.naming.provider.url", "jnp://localhost:1099");
    properties.put("jnp.disableDiscovery", "true");
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    SimpleBeanClient beanClient = new SimpleBeanClient();
    beanClient.createBean();
    }

    public void createBean() throws EJBException {
    try {
    // [laliluna] create a context to look up the beans in the JNDI
    InitialContext context = new InitialContext(properties);
    /*
    * [laliluna]
    * we have to look up the remote interaces as we are not in the same environment as the EJB.
    * Therefore we will have to use the PortableRemote class to convert our object
    */
    Object object = context.lookup(SimpleHome.JNDI_NAME);
    SimpleHome simpleHome = (SimpleHome) PortableRemoteObject.narrow(object,
    SimpleHome.class);

    Simple simple = simpleHome.create();
    simple.setName("Gunter");
    System.out.println(simple.getId());
    System.out.println(simple.getName());

    } catch (NamingException e) {
    throw new EJBException(e);
    } catch (RemoteException e) {
    throw new EJBException(e);
    } catch (CreateException e) {
    throw new EJBException(e);
    }

    }
    }

    Congratulations that it!
