JavaServer Faces 2.2
Big Ticket Features
Faces Flows
Resource Library Contracts
HTML 5 Friendly Markup
Stateless Views
Several minor enhancements


5

JSF 2.2: Faces Flows
Combination of various views
Internal navigation
Dedicated entry and return views
"Subroutine"
Embeddable
Flow scoped values
and beans


6

JSF 2.2: Faces Flows
Various flow definitions
Simple, directory-based
Flow descriptor
CDI Producer
Location
Web app root
Library JAR
META-INF/flows


7

JSF 2.2: Resource Library Contracts
Encapsulation of templates, images, CSS, JS
Subdirectory of
WebappRoot/contracts
Library JAR
META-INF/contracts


8

JSF 2.2: Resource Library Contracts
Activation
f:view

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" …>
<f:view contracts="default">

faces-config.xml

<application>
<resource-library-contracts>
<contract-mapping>
<url-pattern>*</url-pattern>
<contracts>jugbb</contracts>
</contract-mapping>
</resource-library-contracts>

9

JSF 2.2: HTML 5 Friendly Markup
Passthrough elements:
Use HTML 5 tags with JSF attributes
<input jsf:id="email" jsf:value="#{demoModel.email}“
type="email" name="email" size="40" required="required"/>

Passthrough attributes:
Use JSF tags with HTML 5 attributes
<h:inputText id="nights" value="#{demoModel.nights}" >
<f:passThroughAttribute name="type" value="number" />
<f:passThroughAttribute name="size" value="40" />
</h:inputText>


10

JSF 2.2: More Changes
Stateless Views
<f:view transient="true">
UIData supports Collection
@ViewScoped
javax.faces.bean deprecated in next version
(@ManagedBean etc.)


11

Java Persistence API 2.1
Converter
JPQL & Criteria Query Enhancements
CDI Injection in Entity Listener
DDL Handling
Entity Graphs


12

JPA 2.1: Converter
@Convert
Explicit type / value mapping
replaces „User Types“ etc.
generalizes @Enumerated, @Temporal
@Entity
public class Country
{
@Convert(converter = YesNoConverter.class)
private boolean expired;


13

JPA 2.1: Converter
@Converter
declares converter
can be auto-applied (autoApply = true)
@Converter
public class YesNoConverter implements AttributeConverter<Boolean, String> {
public String convertToDatabaseColumn(Boolean fieldValue) {
if (fieldValue == null) return null;
return fieldValue ? "Y" : "N";
}
public Boolean convertToEntityAttribute(String columnValue) {
if (columnValue == null) return null;
return columnValue.equals("Y");


14

JPA 2.1: JPQL & Criteria Query Enhancements
ON: Join filter

select p.name, count(b)
from Publisher p
left join p.books b
on b.bookType = BookType.PAPERBACK
group by p.name

TREAT: Downcast (includes filter)
select s from StorageLocation s
where treat(s.product as Book).bookType = BookType.HARDCOVER

FUNCTION: Call DB function
select c from Customer c
where function('hasGoodCredit', c.balance, c.creditLimit)


15

JPA 2.1: JPQL & Criteria Query Enhancements
Bulk Update/Delete for Criteria Query
CriteriaUpdate<Product> criteriaUpdate
= criteriaBuilder.createCriteriaUpdate(Product.class);
Root<Product> p = criteriaUpdate.from(Product.class);
Path<Number> price = p.get(Product_.price);
criteriaUpdate.set(price, criteriaBuilder.prod(price, 1.03));

entityManager.createQuery(criteriaUpdate).executeUpdate();

Stored Procedure Queries
StoredProcedureQuery query
= entityManager.createStoredProcedureQuery("findMissingProducts");

16

JPA 2.1: CDI Injection in Entity Listener

public class CountryListener {
@Inject
private AuditService auditService;
@PreUpdate
public void preUpdate(Object entity) {
this.auditService.logUpdate(entity);
}
@Entity
@EntityListeners(CountryListener.class)
public class Country {


17

JPA 2.1: DDL Handling
Create and/or drop db tables
Based on entity meta data (mapping)
SQL script
Data load script
<persistence … >
<persistence-unit name="test">
…
<properties>
<property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action"
value="drop-and-create" />
<property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.create-script-source"
value="META-INF/create.sql" />
<property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.create-source"
value="metadata-then-script" />
<property name="javax.persistence.sql-load-script-source"
value="META-INF/sqlLoad.sql" />

18

JPA 2.1: DDL Handling
Write create and/or drop scripts
Writer createWriter = …; // File, String …

Map<String, Object> properties = new HashMap<>();
properties.put("javax.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.action",
"create");
properties.put("javax.persistence.schema-generation.scripts.create-target",
createWriter);
Persistence.generateSchema("test", properties);


19

JPA 2.1: Entity Graphs
Declaration of lazy attributes to be loaded
@Entity
@NamedEntityGraph(name = "Publisher_books",
attributeNodes = @NamedAttributeNode(value = "books")))
public class Publisher
{
…
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "publisher", fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private List<Book> books;

find parameter or query hint
fetchgraph: Fetch entity graph attributes only
loadgraph: Fetch eager attributes also
TypedQuery<Publisher> query = entityManager.createQuery(…);
query.setHint("javax.persistence.fetchgraph", "Publisher_books");

20

CDI 1.1
Enhanced bean discovery
Global enablement of interceptors, decorators, alternatives
Constructor interception
Transaction support
Validation for parameters and return values


21

CDI 1.1: Bean Discovery
Discovery mode: all, annotated, none
Exclusion filter: Class or package
<beans … bean-discovery-mode="all" version="1.1">

<scan>
<exclude name="de.gedoplan.….sub1.beans.DiscoverableBean12"/>
<exclude name="de.gedoplan.….sub1.beans.excluded.**"/>
<exclude name="de.gedoplan.….dummy.**">
<if-system-property name="NO_DUMMY" value="true" />
</exclude>
</scan>
</beans>


22

CDI 1.1: Global Enablement of Interceptors etc.
@Priority
Interceptors & decorators
global enablement
Order
@TraceCall
@Interceptor
@Priority(Interceptor.Priority.APPLICATION + 1)
public class TraceCallInterceptor
{

Alternatives
Global activation of alternative with highest priority


23

CDI 1.1: Constructor Interception
@TraceCall @Interceptor @Priority(…)
public class TraceCallInterceptor
{
@AroundConstruct
public Object traceConstructorCall(InvocationContext ic)
throws Exception
{
…
}
@AroundInvoke
public Object traceMethodCall(InvocationContext ic)
throws Exception
{
…
}

24

CDI 1.1: Transaction Support
Platform global transaction interceptor @Transactional
TX modes like EJB TX attributes
@Transactional(value = TxType.REQUIRED,
dontRollbackOn={HarmlessException.class})
public void insert(Cocktail cocktail)
{

CDI scope @TransactionScoped


25

CDI 1.1: Bean Validation for Parameters and Return Values

@NotNull
public List<Questionnaire> createPoll(@Min(10) int
{


size)

26

Restful Webservices (JAX-RS)
Out-of-the-Box
JSON Support

@Path("country")
@Produces(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON)
public class CountryResource
{
@GET
public List<Country> getAll()
{
…

Client API
Client client = ClientBuilder.newClient();
WebTarget target = client.target(“http://.../country/DE");
Country country = target.request(MediaType.APPLICATION_XML)
.get(Country.class);


27

More new things
Websockets
Concurrency Utilities
Batch

JMS
