What Is J2EE ?

• Java 2 Enterprise Edition• There are 3 different specifications within the

Java framework (J2SE, J2ME, J2EE)• Created to provide a simple, unified standard

for distributed applications through a component based application model

• Specification is managed by a consortium of industry leaders

Why J2EE ?

• A stand alone program• Client/Server (2-Tier)

– BBS, News, FTP, Telnet, …• Traditional (non-component) N-Tier Systems

– 3-tier application: Browser – WEB Server – DBMS

• New trend:– Component N-Tier Systems

(J2EE Architecture)

J2EE Architecture (1/2) J2EE Component and Container

J2EE Architecture (2/2)

• J2EE consists of three major parts:– Components

Hold presentation and business logic– Containers

Provide context for components– Connectors

Provide access to legacy enterprise systems

J2EE Components

• Application clients

• Applets

• Web components– Servelets, Java Server Pages (JSP)

– Portlet (see JSR168)

• Business components– Enterprise Java Beans (EJB)

J2EE ComponentApplet Component

• An applet is a program written in the JavaTM programming language that can be included in an HTML page, much in the same way an image is included. When you use a Java technology-enabled browser to view a page that contains an applet, the applet's code is transferred to your system and executed by the browser's Java Virtual Machine (JVM).

• An applet is a small program that is intended not to be run on its own, but rather to be embedded inside another application.

Applet pro vs. con

• Applets: Java code that runs inside browser • Advantages:

– Extends functionality on the client side – More complicated GUIs than w/ HTML or JavaScript – Computation can be off-loaded from server – Users don’t have to build, install, and configure

• Disadvantages: – Download time – “Sandbox” limits functionality (unless signed) – Window management by browser

J2EE ComponentWeb Component

• Servlets – A servlet is a program that extends the functionality of a Web

server. Servlets receive a request from a client, dynamically generate the response (possibly querying databases to fulfill the request), and then send the response containing an HTML or XML document to the client

• JSP– The JavaServer Pages (JSP) technology provides an extensible

way to generate dynamic content for a Web client. A JSP page is a text-based document that describes how to process a request to create a response

Java Servlet

• Java Servlet is the bridge for user to use Java solution in Web Server.

• Java Servlet has better performance than CGI(Common Gateway Interface).

• Java Servlet can use session to replace cookie and enhance security.

• J2EE Server maintains the session for Java Servlets.

JavaServer Pages (JSP)

• JSP has all features of Servlet.

• JSP is a HTML like document.

• JSP is designed for Web Page Developer.

• JSP will change to Java Servlet source.

• JSP is ran via Servlet mode.

JavaServer PagesObjects

• JSP has 9 objects which developer can use directly without new it.

JSR168 Portlet Container

JSR168 Portlet

• JSR168– Java portlet

standard

• WSRP– Remote portlet

communication protocol

– Portals aggregate remote portlets

(Web Services for Remote Portlets ）

The Reason For JDBC

• Despite almost all databases supporting SQL, database vendors (Microsoft Access, Oracle etc.) provide proprietary (no standard) Application Programming Interfaces for sending SQL to the server and receiving results from it!

• Languages such as C/C++ can make use of these proprietary APIs directly– High performance– Can make use of non standard features of the database– All the database code needs to be rewritten if you change

database vendor or product• JDBC (Java DataBase Connectivity) is a vendor independent

API for accessing relational data from different database vendors in a consistent way

CCTM: Course material developed by James King (james.king@londonmet.ac.uk)

JDBC• JDBC provides an API that hides the vendor specific APIs by

inserting a driver between the Java application and the database API• JDBC requires a vendor-specific driver• The driver converts calls from JDBC API to vendor’s API =>

performance penalty• The driver does not provide access to vendor specific functionality• The same Java application can be used with a different vendor’s

database by simply switching JDBC driver and changing one line of Java code.

• JDBC 1.0 is included inside JDK 1.1 or higher in a package java.sql • JDBC 2.0 and 3.0 require updated drivers and an additional package

javax.sql

Rollback and Commit

• By default connections to the database commit each update as soon as it is completed.

• If you want to make a set of changes and only commit the aggregate result if nothing goes wrong auto commit needs to be switched off

connection.setAutoCommit(false)You can then use

connection.commit() to apply the changesconnection.rollback() to undo changes since the last commit• You can switch auto commit back on usingconnection.setAutoCommit(true)

J2EE Compoent (1/2)EJB Component

• Enterprise JavaBean (EJB)– The Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) architecture is a server-

side technology for developing and deploying components containing the business logic of an enterprise application.

– Enterprise JavaBeans components, termed enterprise beans, are scalable, transactional, and multi-user secure.

• EJB is an architecture for component-based transactional distributed computing.

EJB Component (2/2)

• An enterprise bean contains business logic that operates on the enterprise’s data.

• Client access is mediated by a Container.

• There are three kinds of enterprise beans: session beans, entity beans, and message-driven beans.

Enterprise Bean Objects

• Session objects: for a single client, short-lived, …Stateful, Stateless

• Entity objects: object view of data in the database, shared by multiple clients, long-lived, …

• Message-driven objects: triggered by a single client message, short-lived, stateless, …

Stateful vs. Stateless Session Beans

• Stateful– Possess Internal State

– One per client

– Need to handle activation/ passivation

• Stateless– Do not possess state

– Can be pooled to handle multiple clients

– Do not need to be passivated

Entity Beans: CMP vs. BMP

• Container Manager Persistence– Container responsible

for database accesses/ controls

– Developer focuses on data use

• Bean Managed Persistence– Developer must write

code to handle database accesses/ controls

– Used for more specialized data mapping strategies

Entity Bean Characteristics

• Provides an object view of data in the underlying database

• Shared across multiple users

• Long-lived

• Survives container crash

To Implement an Enterprise Bean (1/2)

• Any enterprise bean must define two interfaces and one or two classes– Remote interface

• defines a bean’s external interface• must extend javax.ejb.EJBObject (which in turn extends

java.rmi.Remote)

– Home interface• The home interface defines a bean’s “life cycle” methods, eg.

create bean, remove bean, find bean, etc.• must extend javax.ejb.EJBHome which also extends

java.rmi.Remote

To Implement an EJB (2/2)

• Bean Class– The java class that actually implements the bean’s external

interface, e.g. the bean class provides implementations for the bean’s “business methods”

– An entity bean must implement the javax.ejb.EntityBean interface, while a session bean must implement the (you guessed it) javax.ejb.SessionBean. Both of these interfaces extend javax.ejb.EnterpriseBean

• Primary Key– The primary key is a very simple class that provides a pointer into

a database; Only entity beans need a primary key. This class must implment java.io.Serializable (so the entity bean can automatically be sent to persistent storage)

EJB Container

• A container is provided by the Application Server vendor to provide basic services that are required by J2EE specification.

• An EJB programmer places their code here, and is assured a variety of basic services are available

• This means the developer doesn’t have to code these services from scratch

• Specification states which services must be supported but not how

Basic Services Supplied by the EJB Container

• Security

• Transaction management

• Remote Client Connectivity

• Life Cycle Management

• Database Connection Pooling

More Services provided by container

• The following basic services will be supported by all J2EE compliant products– RMI/RMI-IIOP

– Resource Pooling

– Thread Control

– Presentation Logic

– Persistence

– Messaging

– And more…IIOP: Internet Inter-ORB Protocol

ORB: Object Request Broker

Can’t Do in an EJB

• Can’t use threads

• Can’t use the AWT

• Can’t act as network server

• Can’t use java.io package

• Can’t load native libray

• Can’t use this as an argument or return value

EJB Benefits Summary

• Developing distributed applications in Java – Application developer is spared from following details

• Transaction management • State management • Multi-threading • Connection pooling

• Write once, run anywhere • Interoperability with other languages • Compatible with CORBA protocols

J2EE Containers (1/2) Web Containers

• Web Component Containers– 1. Servlet Containers

• A servlet container provides network services (by which requests and responses are sent), decodes requests, and formats responses. All servlet containers must support HTTP as a protocol for requests and responses, but may also support additional request-response protocols

such as HTTPS.

– 2. JSP Containers• A JSP container provides the same services as a servlet container and

an engine that interprets and processes a JSP page into a servlet.

– 3. Web Containers• A Web container provides the same services as a JSP container and

access to the J2EE service and communication APIs.

J2EE Containers (2/2) EJB Containers

• EJB Container– Enterprise beans are hosted by an EJB

container. In addition to standard container services, an EJB container provides a range of transaction and persistence services and access to the J2EE service and communication APIs.

Tomcat

• Tomcat: Java-based web server + servlet container w/ JSP environment

• Execution modes: – Standalone: default mode for Tomcat – Out-of-process add-on: web server plugin

opens JVM outside web server; plugin and JVM communicate using IPC mechanism (TCP/IP sockets and special protocol)

Tomcat and Apache

• Communication mechanism between Tomcat and Apache: web server adapter” or named as “connector”

• Implemented as shared library (e.g., mod_jserv.so, mod_jk.so)

• Uses/manages TCP connections • Uses the AJPV12/AJPV13 communication

protocol

J2EE Connectors

• Contract between container and Enterprise Information Systems (EIS)

• Proprietary and under the hood

• Implementation is available with J2EE specification version 1.3 / 1.4

J2EE Standard Services

• HTTP/HTTPS

• Java Transaction API (JTA)

• Java Database Connection (JDBC)• Java Message Service (JMS)

• Java Authentication and Authorization Service (JAAS)

• J2EE Connector Architecture (JCA)

• Others: RMI-IIOP, JavaIDL, JavaMail, JavaBeans Activation Framework (JAF), Java API for XML Parsing (JAXP)

IIOP: Internet Inter-ORB Protocol

The Solution: J2EE Application Model

• J2EE application model partitions the work needed to implement a multi-tier service into two parts– the business and presentation logic (implemented by

the application developer)

– the standard system services provided by the J2EE platform.

• The developer can rely on the platform to provide the solutions for the hard systems level problems of developing a middle-tier service.

J2EE Application Model

Benefits of J2EE Application Model

• The J2EE application model provides the benefits of Write Once, Run Anywhere™ portability and scalability for multi-tier applications.

• This standard model minimizes the cost of developer training while providing the enterprise with a broad choice of J2EE servers and development tools.

J2EE Platform Roles

• J2EE Product Provider

• Application Component Provider

• Application Assembler

• Deployer

• System Administrator

• Tool Provider

The Connector Architecture

• Integration of J2EE servers with Enterprise Information Systems (EIS)

• EIS vendor-provided resource adaptors

• Resource adaptor-permitting application servers

J2EE Connector

• J2EE Connector– The J2EE Connector architecture defines a standard

architecture for connecting the J2EE platform to heterogeneous EISs. Examples of EISs include ERP, mainframe transaction processing, database systems, and legacy applications not written in the Java programming language. By defining a a set of scalable, secure, and transactional mechanisms, the J2EE Connector architecture enables the integration of EISs with application servers and enterprise applications.

J2EE Platform Technologies 1/3

• Servlets and JSP– Java technology servlets and JavaServer Pages are server components that

run in a web server that supports dynamic HTML generation and session management for browser clients.

• EJB– Enterprise JavaBeans is a server component model that provides

protability across application servers and implements automatic services on behalf of the application components.

• JTA– Java Transaction API provides a transaction demarcation API.

• JTS– Java transaction Service defines a distributed transaction management

service based on the CORBA Object Transaction Service.

• JNDI– Java Naming and Directory Interface provides access to naming and

directory services, such as DNS, LDAP, NDS, and CORBA Naming.

• RMI-IIOP– Remote Method Invocation(RMI) creates remote interfaces for Java-to-

Java communication. This extension uses the CORBA standard IIOP communication protocol.

• Java IDL– Java Interface Definition Language creates remote interfaces to support

java-to-CORBA communications.

• JDBC– JDBC database access API provides uniform access to relational databases.

• JMS– Java Messaging Service supports asynchronous communication using either a

reliable queuing or publish/subscribe model.

• JavaMail– JavaMail provides a protocol-independent framework to build mail and

messaging applications.

• JAF– JavaBeans Activation Framework provides standard services to determine the

type of an arbitrary piece of data and activate an appropriate JavaBeans component to manipulate the data.

History of J2EE Technologies

• Distributed Objects– CORBA, DCOM, etc.– Three-tier scenario: presentation, business logic, and

backend databases• Hard to “get right” without the proper infrastructure

• Server-Side Components– Focuses on encapsulating “business rules” into objects

in the middle tier

• Component Transaction Monitors– Descendant of CORBA’s Object Request Broker

• provides discovery, persistence, event notification, transactions, etc. for three-tier or n-tier applications

J2EE Platform Services

• Naming Services– Provide application clients, EJB and Web components with access to a

JNDI naming environment.

• Deployment Services– Allow components and applications to be customized at the time they are

packaged and deployed.

• Transaction Services– Devide an application into a series of indivisible or atomic units of work.

• Security Services– Designed to ensure that resources are accessed only by users authorized to

use them.

J2EE Platform Benefits

• Simplified architecture and development• Scalability to meet demand variations• Integration with existing information systems• Choices of servers, tools, components• Flexible security model• The J2EE reduces the cost and complexity of developing

these multi-tier services, resulting in services that can be rapidly deployed and easily enhanced as the enterprise responds to competitive pressures.

J2EE Platform• The J2EE platform is the standard environment for running J2EE

applications. The J2EE platform is composed of the following elements:– J2EE deployment specification - a standard that defines a

common way of packaging applications for deployment on any J2EE compatible platform.

– Java technology standards for the J2EE platform - a set of standards that all J2EE platform products must support (JMS , JNDI etc)

– IETF standards for the J2EE platform - a set of standards defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force that all J2EE platform products must support.(eg XML, HTTP, HTML)

– CORBA standards for the J2EE platform - a set of CORBA standards upon which the J2EE platform bases its middle-tier interoperability.

J2EE Application Assembly

• A J2EE application is packaged into one or more standard units for deployment to any J2EE platform-compliant system.

• Each unit contains a functional component or components (enterprise bean, JSP page, servlet, applet, etc.), a standard deployment descriptor that describes its content, and the J2EE declarations which have been specified by the application developer and assembler.

• Once deployed, theses components can then be run.

J2EE Reference Implementation

• Its primary role is as an operational definition of the J2EE platform.

• Most importantly, it is used as the standard platform for running the J2EE Compatibility Test Suite.

• A secondary role for the reference implementation is as a freely available platform for popularizing Java 2 platform, Enterprise Edition.

J2EE Reference Implementation• Latest version available for download

– JavaTM 2 SDK, Enterprise Edition Version 1.3

– Downloadable at

http://java.sun.com/j2ee/

• NOTE : – This version will require Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition

• This one provides a central cache service (MBean interface)

• All access goes through the cache– Write-through (lazy or eager)– Reads only access the cache (very fast on cache hits)– Items not in the cache are loaded (e.g. from database)– Bounded size; old items are removed by eviction policy

• Local (=non-replicated) and replicated caches– Replicated caches are the interesting part

Feature• Transactions

– All modifications done within TX, replication at TX commit. No replication on rollback

• Locking– Access to nodes serialized by locks– Lock acquisition timeouts used for deadlock prevention

• Replication– local: in-VM, no replication– repl-async: replication done on separate thread– repl-sync: replication done on user's thread, wait for all acks

• All combinations supported– From local/no-tx/no-locking to repl/tx/locking– Ex: repl-async/no-locking/TX

How to Deploy on JBoss (1/3)

1. Write your beans and package them in an ejb-jar file.

2. Write your servlets/JSPs and package them in a war file.

3. Add a Class-Path attribute to your war files MANIFEST.MF file to reference your beans package. for detailed information on that see J2EE Deployment specification.

http://www.jboss.org http://www.jboss.com

How to Deploy in JBoss (2/3)

4. Package your application in an ear file.An ear file is a jar archive which contains:

• Your jar files • Your war files • A deployment descriptor for your

application.

This file must be named "application.xml", and must belocated in the META-INF directory in the ear archive. Thisfile tells JBoss which modules are EJBs, which ones areweb modules, and the context paths for the web-modules.

Sample Application.xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<application> <display-name>My application</display-name>

<web-uri>webmodule.war</web-uri> <context

root>/servlets</context-root>

</web>

</module>

<ejb>beans.jar</ejb>

</module>

</application>

How to Deploy in JBoss (3/3)

5. Deploy your ear file.

Option 1: Copy your ear file to JBOSS_HOME/deploy (wow!)

Write once Deploy AnyWhere!!
