Case Study of “J2EE” Era Systems in 2014

Developed in 2001 - 2006

Our systems is…

Based on J2EE 1.3 - 1.4

With many EOL open source libs

Working on EOL app server

Too old to move to latest Java EE

#jdt2014-C4

Not Too Late!!Move On to Java EE!!

Standard specifications for application servers (except for MS).

What's Java EE

Commercial

Open Source

etc.

Java EE Specification

To make assurance double sure

Liberty Profile etc.

The JavaServer Faces (JSF) 2 is

Standard web framework of the Java EE 7 and 6 Re-Born as JSF 2 in Java EE 6

– Please forget the useless JSF 1.x (Java EE 5) if you know.

JSF 2.0 changes (in EE 6):– Added @ViewScoped backing bean lifecycle.– Introduced new HTML page renderer ‘Facelet’.

JSF 2.2 changes (in EE 7):– Updated with renewed HTML friendly tags.– Changed the backing bean from JSF managed beans to CDI.– Introduced auto XSRF avoiding functions

#jdt2014-C4

37

JSF 2.2! Welcome!!

Finally we can make enterprise web applications only with Java EE standard specifications, JSF.– Good-bye, JSP!!– So long, Struts!!– Take care, Commons!!

* Recommended 2.2 or later

So Easy to Make!

Try it TODAY!

#jdt2014-C4

43

Make newproject

Select “Maven > Web Applications”

Select “Properties”after project creation

#jdt2014-C4

44

Add the “JavaServer Faces”and select up the JSF 2.2

Change pattern from “/faces/*.xhtml” to “*.xhtml”for simple & easy operations

#jdt2014-C4

45

Open the “pom.xml”

Modify “javaee-web-api” (web profile)to “javaee-api” (full profile)

#jdt2014-C4

46

Deleteold JSP

Add CDI backing beanfrom here

Make backingbean for Facelet

#jdt2014-C4

47

Add backing bean annotationsand implement Serializable interface

Add getters andsetters

Add @PostConstructmethod for pageload operations

#jdt2014-C4

48

Set the placeholderfor backing bean property

Input Facelet using code completion of NetBeans

Set the action methodfor submit button

#jdt2014-C4

49

Press the button,run the backing bean

Just push the run button,compile, archiving anddeploying to Java EE server automatically
