J2EE 1.4

Web Services and XML supportStandards / Portability - XML Schema definitions for all deployment descriptorsJAX-P 1.2 - New properties for XML parsersJAX-R - XML registry APIJAX-RPC - APIs for representing WSDL-based services as RPCs in Java (&vice-versa)JSR 109 - Web services programming and deployment modelSAAJ 1.1 - SOAP Attachments API for Java

OtherServlet 2.4 JSP 2.0 Extensible deployment descriptorsRequest/response listenersExpression LanguageSimple Tag Extension

JDBC 3.0 Meta data and cursor support

MessagingEJB 2.1Typed message beans (used for any inbound JCA including pluggable JMS provider)Timer service Web service end-point support


15

WebSphere Rapid DeploySimplified development of WebSphere Applications thru Annotation-based Programming

EJB and deployment information is maintained as metadata (Xdoclet tags) in Java classes

Allows the developer to create and maintain a single artifactArtifacts needed at runtime (eg. EJB and J2EE deployment descriptors) are generated

“Enhanced EAR” file will contain server configuration and deployment information

Deployment AutomationAutomatic installation of applications and modules onto a running WebSphere Server Support both local and remote servers Support fine-grained application changes


16

WebSphere Rapid Deploy AnnotationsRepresented as Javadoc tags, in comments, within Java source code

Eventually will move to (or add) JSR 175 based annotations (J2SE 1.5)

Available at four scope levelsClass, Method, Field, Package

Existing XDoclet defined tag syntax will be used where it existsAdditional tags are defined for elements of the WebSphere Programming Model

Rational Application Developer supports content assist for these tagsMaking it easy for developers to add the information


17

WebSphere Rapid Deploy Annotations Sample

Drop this .java file into a directory and a few seconds later you have a runningEJB application on WebSphere

package com.example.wrd;

/*** @ejb.bean name="Hello" type="Stateless" view-type=remote jndi-name="HelloBean"*/public class Hello {/*** @ejb.interface-method view-type=remote*/public String hello(String name) {

return "Hello: " + name;}

}

Service Data Objects (SDO): Unified Access to Heterogeneous Data Sources

Provides a common programming interface to access data from multiple heterogeneous sources

Supports both staticand dynamic data APIs

Supports disconnected operation

Decouples application code from data access code

Designed for use with tools to increase programmer productivity

Service Data Objects (SDO) is a specification created by IBM & BEA,submitted to JCP as JSR 235 in December 2003. Expert Group Formation Stage, not part of J2EE yet
