PURPOSE OF THIS TALK ¡  Demonstrate productivity gains §  Less Code, Classes and Configuration

¡  Address Concerns §  About Java EE, EJBs, App Servers & Lock-in

¡  Introduce new innovations §  JBoss Forge §  CDI and Apache DeltaSpike §  Arquillian

¡ Resource injection in JEE5 § @EJB, @Resource, @PersistenceContext, § @PersistenceUnit

¡ Into Container Components: § Servlets, JSF backing beans and other EJBs

¡ Progress but still Problems § No POJOs § Cannot inject DAOs or helper classes that were not written as

EJBs § Hard to integrate anything but strictly business components

JAVA EE 6 DEPLOYMENT DESCRIPTOR

EJB 3.1 CLIENT VIEW

@EJB BankLocal bank;!!public void makeDeposit() !{! bank.deposit(2500.00, new Account(12345));!}!

¡ Configuration by exception with sensible defaults §  Security permissions defaults to UNCHECKED §  Transaction type defaults to CONTAINER §  Transaction attribute defaults to REQUIRED

¡ Use Annotations §  To choose explicitly (recommended) §  To override defaults

¡ Deployment descriptor is no longer required §  But can override above configurations

HOW DID THEY DO THAT?

¡  Optional Local Interface ¡  Simplified Packaging ¡  EJB-Lite ¡  Portable JNDI Naming ¡  Simple Component Testing

CDI - EXTENSIBLE BY DESIGN

¡ Many community projects of extensions: § Seam 3, CODI, Cambridge Technology Partners

¡ These multiple projects merging to deliver a vendor-neutral open ecosystem for extensions

named DeltaSpike.

¡  Hosted on Apache. Works on all Java EE 6 servers

mention that App Servers must be slow
