You could activate the “Commit Option A” that is the container caches entity bean state between tractions. This option assumes that the container has exclusive access to the persistent store and therefore it doesnt need to synchronize the in-memory bean state from the persistent store at the beginning of each traction.
Built on the standards Java Server Faces and EJB 3.0, JBoss Seam unifies component and programming models and delivers a consistent and powerful framework for rapid creation of web applications with Java EE 5.@Seam simplifies web application development and enables new functionality that was difficult to implement by hand before, such as stateful conversations, multi-window operation, and handling concurrent fine-grained AJAX requests. Seam also unifies and integrates popular open source technologies like Facelets, Hibernate, iText, and Lucene.
For Seam 1.3: Seam was developed against JBoss 4.@Seam can still be run against JBoss 4.@The seam documentation contains instructions for configuring JBoss 4.0.
For Seam 1.2: Since Seam requires the latest edition of EJB3, you need to install JBoss AS from the latest JEMS installer. Make sure that you select the “ejb3” or “ejb3+clustering” profile to include EJB3 support. Also, the jboss-seam.jar library file from the Seam distribution must be included in each Seam application you deploy.
Yes, Seam provides its own integration test framework based on TestNG. You can easily mock all Seam services using those facilities without ever loading an application server or a database.
You can deploy almost any kind of Java/J2EE application, and it supports the following file format.
JBossTS supports Web Services tractions, including extended traction models designed specifically for loosely-coupled, long running business processes. J2EE tractions can integrate seamlessly with Web Services tractions using our integrated, bi-directional traction bridge. Interoperability with many other vendors is provided out-of-the-box and JBoss is an active participant in these standards.
jar –tf <filename.jar>
JBoss registers in the JNDI tree a JTA UserTraction Object which can be user to manage a distributed traction.
Yes, you can run Seam applications in plain Tomcat 5.5+ or in the Sun GlassFish application server. To run Seam application in Tomcat, you need a number of additional library files and a few configuration files to bootstrap the JBoss EJB3 inside Tomcat.
Seam runs beautifully on other application servers – just like everything else the Hibernate team does, this is not a JBoss-only thing.
The perception of EJB3 as being a simple clone of Hibernate is primarily based on developer familiarity with Hibernate and a similarity of naming, as well as common purpose, and that Hibernate is morphing itself into an EJB3 implementation based on the work going into the specification, not the other way around.
EJBs are supposed to be components, in the sense that they’re not just one class, but a set of classes, descriptors and usage and management contracts. All of this in order to allow a container (JBoss, Weblogic, etc.) to provide services to those components, and to be able to reuse and distribute this components. This services are, among others, tractions, concurrent access control, security, instance pooling, etc.
Hibernate is “just” an ORM (Object/Relational Mapping) tool. Quick and dirty, this me you can store an object tree belonging to an class hierarchy in a relational DB without writing a single SQL query. Quite cool, IMO. But no traction control, no instance pooling, no concurrency control, and certainly no security.
JBoss JBPM is a workflow and BPM engine. Enabling the creation of business processes that coordinates between people, applications and services is the functionality of BPM engine. The combination of workflow applications development with process design is a feature of JBoss jBPM. The business process is graphically represented to facilitate a strong link between the business analyst and technical developer. This feature is provided by the JBoss jBPM process designer.
There are two modules you can use to connect JBoss with Apache.
The Session interface wraps a JDBC Connection. This interface is a single threaded object which represents a single unit of work with application and persistent database. It’s retrieved by the SessionFactory’s openSession() method
Yes, that is many threads can access it concurrently and request for sessions. It holds cached data that has been read in one unit of work and may be reused in a future unit of work. Good practice is to create it when the application is initialized.
A local-tx-datasource identifies a data source that uses tractions, even distributed tr actions within the local application server, but doesnt use distributed tractions among multiple application servers. An xa-datasource on the other hand identifies a data source that uses distributed traction among multiple application servers.
JBoss clustering is on top of JGroups toolkit which helps to create, delete, membership detection, notification, etc. in the cluster.
In my opinion one of the biggest obstacle in the movement towards SOA adoption is the organization own IT department.Too many people in the IT organization conceive SOA as a technology concept only, and as such think of SOA as just a set of technologies and infrastructure for exposing, securing, running, and managing Services.
Put it this way, SOA is nothing more than Web Services and standardized middleware. The critical flaw in thinking is confusing the technology that sits beneath the Services level of abstraction and the mechanism by which Services are accessed with the architectural approach that aims to decouple the implementation from the consumption and focus on sustainable architecture that allows for continuous change.
Successful SOA adoption requires a cultural shift in the way IT is done. The Service-oriented movement to agility and loose coupling demands a shift from traditional, waterfall styles of development (design-build-test-deploy-manage) to iterative approaches to continuous Service modeling
JBoss installation is very straightforward. You need to download the desired version from JBoss official download page in zip or gz format.
Once downloaded, just extract the file to the location you want to install. If you downloaded zip format, then you can use unzip command to extract it.
unzip jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.zip
JBoss has a built-in hot deployer which can:
The source code and build script of all Seam example applications are included in the examples directory of the Seam distribution.
The JGroups framework provides services to enable peer-to-peer communications between nodes in a cluster. It is built on top a stack of network communication protocols that provide trport, discovery, reliability and failure detection, and cluster membership management services.
Java Traction API (JTA) specifies standard Java interfaces between a traction manager and the parties involved in a distributed traction system: the resource manager, the application server, and the tractional applications.
The Javaâ„¢ Traction API (JTA) allows applications to perform distributed tractions, that is, tractions that access and update data on two or more networked computer resources.
The Java Traction API consists of three elements: a high-level application traction demarcation interface, a high-level traction manager interface intended for an application server, and a standard Java mapping of the X/Open XA protocol intended for a tractional resource manager.
The following directories are available after JBoss is installed.
Yes, Seam provides excellent support for AJAX. First, Seam supports the ICEfaces and Ajax4JSF Ajax component libraries for JSF. If you prefer a more “old fashioned” approach, Seam provides a complete JavaScript remoting framework which lets you call Seam components and subscribe to JMS topics directly from the client.
There are three possible ways to deploy an application in JBoss application server.
JBoss is a popular open source application server based on JEE technology. Being JEE based, the JBoss supports cross-platform java applications. It was embedded with Apache Tomcat web server. It runs under any JVM of 1.3 or later versions. JBoss supports JNDI, Servlet/JSP (Tomcat or Jetty), EJB, JTS/JTA, JCA, JMS, Clustering (JavaGroups), Web Services (Axis), and IIOP integration (JacORB).
Heap Memory can be increased in a respective conf file. To increase memory for standalone;
In a similar way, you can adjust the memory for a domain in domain.conf file
Yes, as of Seam 1.1, you can use Seam in any J2EE application server, with one caveat: you will not be able to use EJB 3.0 session be. However, you can use either Hibernate or JPA for persistence, and you can use Seam JavaBean components instead of session be.
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform is an open source implementation of the Java EE suite of services
EJBs are now plain old Java objects (POJO) that expose regular business interfaces (POJI), and there is no requirement for home interfaces.
.dodeploy file suffix is needed for JBoss to deploy or redeploy an application.
For ex: myfirstapplication.war.dpdeploy
All admin console users and password (encrypted) are stored in mgmt.-user.properties file.
Yes, clustering is possible in standalone mode. However, an application must be deployed on each server/JVM in standalone mode.
Go to bin folder where JBoss is installed and start with the following command.
./standalone.sh
Seam only works on JDK 5.0 and above. It uses annotations and other JDK 5.0 features.
The user must be created under “ManagementRealm” to have console operational. To create the user, you can go to bin folder and execute add-user.sh script.
You can’t with a Servlet. A JTA traction must start and finish within a single invocation (of the service() method). You should consider using a Stateful SB. In a SFSB with a JTA traction, the association between the bean instance and the traction is retained across multiple client calls.
Seam only supports JSF as a view framework at this time. We plan to support other web frameworks in the future. We like JSF because it is a component-based UI framework, which fits really well with Seam’s component-based approach to business objects and persistence objects. Seam made a major improvement to JSF by eliminating almost all XML configuration for backing be — you can now define back be from POJOs or EJB3 components using simple annotations.
We recommend you use Facelets, instead of JSP, with JSF. Facelets provide a powerful templating framework, better appplication performance, and allows us to write much simpler JSF pages. Please see the Seam booking example application for an example on how to use Facelets.
Choose the server profile to which you want to deploy the application
There is five possible level:
It is technically possible to put a JBoss server instance into multiple clusters at the same time, this practice is generally not recommended, as it increases the management complexity.
Different components of the application are to be measured. This step is to find where the degradation is, whether it is external or internal and where is the application spending all the time. Using Jboss JMX agents and monitoring the deployed components to the application server involves in the first step.
After finding the most of the time spent by specific components or libraries or most of the resources, one can use Jprobe a specialized tool for examining the single object or the objects loaded in the memory.
JBoss cache is a product. Frequently accessed Java objects are cached by utilzing JBoss cache to improve the performance of e-business applications. JBoss decreases the network traffic and increases the scalability of applications by eliminating unnecessary database access. Fully tractional features and highly configurable set of options which are to deal with concurrent data access, are provided by JBoss cache in an efficient manner possible for the applications.
