Agenda ● Quest for The Holy Grail ● EAP ● Why use EJB? – Simple – Predictable – Re-usable – Testable ● Road-map 2

Quest for The Holy Grail ● Looking for software components that are: – Simple – Predictable – Re-usable – Testable ● Also – Performant 3

Enterprise Application Platform ● A fork of AS 5 ● Plus functional patches ● Plus performance patches ● Plus support ● Some bits available through Plugin 1.0.19 4

(tm) Why use EJB ? ● Allow rapid development of reusable business components ● Using an easy infrastructure which does: – Memory management – Remote invocation – Thread management ● Thus having a predictable QoS 5

(tm) What is an EJB ? ● It's not a POJO! ● It consists of a class + interceptor classes + interfaces ● Construction is different ● Invocation is different ● It's an assembly with one or more views 6

Simplicity ● Create an EJB with a remote business view ● Create an EJB archive ● Deploy it 8

Creating an EJB ● Learn how to code EJBs with Andrew's book: Enterprise JavaBeans 3.1 – ISBN: 978-0-596-15802-6 – Develop your first EJBs with a hands-on walkthrough of EJB 3.1 concepts 9

Creating an EJB archive ● Use Ant to create an archive <jar jarfile=”${build.lib}/myfirstejb.jar”> <fileset dir=”${build.class}”/> </jar> ● Or use Maven 10

Deploying an archive ● Copy into deploy $ cp myfirstejb.jar $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy/ ● Use the MainDeployer MbeanServerConnection conn = iniCtx.lookup(“jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor”); conn.invoke(“jboss.system:service=MainDeployer”, “deploy”, new URL(“file:myfirstejb.jar”)); 11

Dynamic Code Changing ● EJBTHREE-1096: Make SLSB and SFSB hot deployable for RAD. ● Allow changing functionality / invariants ● Allow changes in the EJB structure ● Compiling (Deploying) vs Interpreted 13

Bean State ● Bean State is governed by invariants @Stateful public class ConsentWizard { private Date birthdate; public void setBirthday(Date date) { if(age(date) < 18) throw new IllegalStateException("Minors not allowed"); this.birthdate = date; } } ● Changing an invariant leaves artifacts ● Bean State has become non-deterministic 14

Application State ● Application state is determined by the assembly of all components @Stateful public class ConsentWizard implements RemoteWizard { } public class SomeServletThingy { @EJB RemoteWizard wizard; } ● Changing component structure may leave application undeployable 15

Deploying is like Compiling ● It checks whether the application is deployable ● It sets up a clean slate to begin tests from ● So, Dynamic Code Changing is a fluffy white rabbit. Looks cute, but will kill you in the end. 16

Separation of Concerns ● By making aspects configurable and manageable ● Security ● Transaction Management ● Remoting ● Interceptors (now separated!) ● Persistence (separated into JPA) 18

Spec EJB 3.1 Async ● A re-usable component separates concerns ● Brings an application developer requirement to the bean developer ● Ergo doesn't make for re-usable components 19

JBoss EJB 3.1 Async ● A callers functional concern ● If the caller resides in the same VM, let the EJB manage it 20

Test it using a remote view ● Create an archive, deploy it, then call it public class RemoteTestCase { @Test public void test() throws NamingException { MyFirstView bean = (MyFirstView) iniCtx.lookup("MyFirstBean/remote"); String result = bean.doSomething(); assertEquals("done", result); } } 22

Assembled Directory ● Use VFS 2 AssembledDirectory jar = AssembledContextFactory.getInstance().create("test.jar"); jar.addClass(GreetingsBean.class); jar.addClass(Greetings.class); ● The venerable JBoss Embeddable Bootstrap.getInstance().deploy(jar); ● JBoss Reloaded Embedded prototype VFSDeployment deployment = VFSDeploymentFactory.getInstance().createVFSDeployment(root); mainDeployer.deploy(root); ● EJB 3.1 Embeddable prototype EJBContainer container = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer(); on(container).deploy(deployment(jar)); 23

ShrinkWrap ● Easily build an archive JavaArchive jar = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar") .addClasses(GreetingsBean.class, Greetings.class); File tempFile = File.createTempFile("test", ".jar"); jar.as(ZipExporter.class).exportZip(tempFile, true); URL url = tempFile.toURI().toURL(); ● Deploy the archive MbeanServerConnection conn = iniCtx.lookup("jmx/invoker/RMIAdaptor"); conn.invoke("jboss.system:service=MainDeployer", "deploy", url); ● See it in action $ git clone git://github.com/jbossejb3/jboss-ejb3-timerservice.git $ cd jboss-ejb3-timerservice $ mvn install 24

EJB 3.1 Embeddable ● By spec only does local session beans ● You want more services, so ultimately a full Application Server ● Two solutions: – Paravirtualized, not standalone – JBoss Embedded 25

Arquillian ● Or we could go to the server @RunWith(Arquillian.class) public class GreetingManagerTest { @Deployment public static JavaArchive createDeployment() { return ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "test.jar") .addClasses(GreetingsBean.class, Greetings.class); } @EJB private Greetings alien; @Test public void shouldGreetUser() throws Exception { String name = "Earthlings"; assertEquals("Hello, " + name, alien.greet(name)); } } 26

Arquillian #2 ● Access to local views ● Debug my EJBs and unit test – Breakpoints – Step through – Happens on the VM running the Server ● JBoss AS becomes an 'OS' resource – No worry about Server lifecycle / startup time 27

ShrinkWrap + Arquillian ● The Aliens love any container ● Complete separation of concerns 28

Road-map ● EAP 6 will do EJB 3.1 ● AS 6 CR1 time-box closes Nov 16th ● AS 7 M1 is coming up ● Bug reports / requests can end up in a milestone, get on the band-wagon. 29

EJB 4 ● More separation of concerns ● Concrete aspects of Managed Beans? ● CDI Extension? 30

How to cuddle your EJBs? ● Don't try to bring the EJBs to you. ● Go to the EJBs. ● Use ShrinkWrap & Arquillian for your travels! 31
