- 3. Agenda • What's new in Java EE 6? • Web Profile • Extensibility • Highlights from some of the new APIs
- 4. <Insert Picture Here> Java EE 6 Platform
- 5. JAVA EE 6 FINAL RELEASE DECEMBER 10, 2009
- 6. What's New? • Several new APIs • Web Profile • Pluggability/extensibility • Dependency injection • Lots of improvements to existing APIs
- 7. New and updated components • EJB 3.1 • Managed Beans 1.0 • JPA 2.0 • Interceptors 1.1 • Servlet 3.0 • JAX-WS 2.2 • JSF 2.0 • JSR-109 1.3 • JAX-RS 1.1 • JSP 2.2 • Connectors 1.6 • EL 2.2 • Bean Validation 1.0 • JSR-250 1.1 • DI 1.0 • JASPIC 1.1 • CDI 1.0 • JACC 1.5
- 8. Web Profile • First Java EE profile to be defined • A fully-functional, mid-size stack for modern web application development • Complete, but not the kitchen sink
- 9. Java EE 6 Web Profile Contents JSF 2.0 JSP 2.2 · EL 2.2 · JSTL 1.2 · JSR-45 1.0 Servlet 3.0 EJB 3.1 Lite · DI 1.0 · CDI 1.0 · Managed Beans 1.0 Bean Validation 1.0 · Interceptors 1.1 · JSR-250 1.1 JPA 2.0 · JTA 1.1
- 10. Java EE 6 Web Profile Extension Points JSF 2.0 JSP 2.2 · EL 2.2 · JSTL 1.2 · JSR-45 1.0 Servlet 3.0 EJB 3.1 Lite · DI 1.0 · CDI 1.0 · Managed Beans 1.0 Bean Validation 1.0 · Interceptors 1.1 · JSR-250 1.1 JPA 2.0 · JTA 1.1
- 11. Pluggability/Extensibility • Focus on the web tier in this release • Create a level playing field for third-party frameworks • Simplify packaging of web applications
- 12. Modular Web Applications • Libraries can contain /META-INF/web-fragment.xml • web.xml is optional • @WebServlet, @WebFilter annotations • ServletContainerInitializer interface • Programmatic registration of components • Resource jars containing /META-INF/resources /WEB-INF/lib/catalog.jar /META-INF/resources/catalog/books.html → http://myserver:8080/myapp/catalog/books.html
- 13. Sample Servlet import javax.servlet.annotation.WebServlet; @WebServlet(urlPatterns=”/contents”) public class MyServlet extends HttpServlet { public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) { // ... } } No deployment descriptor needed
- 14. Sample Web Fragment Descriptor <web-fragment version=”3.0” xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"> <servlet> <servlet-name>welcome</servlet-name> <servlet-class>WelcomeServlet</servlet-class> </servlet> <listener> <listener-class>RequestListener</listener-class> </listener> </web-fragment>
- 15. Strategy for Evolving the APIs • Capture common patterns • Fix inconsistencies • Adopt what works • Make APIs work better together • Reducing boilerplate/packaging • Be transparent
- 16. JAX-RS 1.1 • RESTful web services API • Already widely adopted • Really a general, high-level HTTP API • Annotation-based programming model • Programmatic API when needed
- 17. JAX-RS Sample @Path(“widgets/{id}”) @Consumes(“application/widgets+xml”) @Produces(“application/widgets+xml”) public class WidgetResource { public WidgetResource(@PathParam(“id”) String id) {…} @GET public Widget getWidget() {…} @PUT public void putWidget(Widget widget){…} }
- 18. Building HTTP Responses return Response.created(createdUri) .entity(createdContent) .build(); return Response.status(404) .entity(message) .type("text/plain") .build(); Similarly, use UriBuilder to build URIs
- 19. EJB 3.1 • @Singleton beans • @Startup beans • Declarative timers • Asynchronous method calls @Asynchronous public Future<Integer> compute(); • Define EJBs directly inside a web application • EJBContainer API works on Java SE
- 20. EJB 3.1 Code Snippets @Singleton @Startup public class StartupBean { @PostConstruct public void doAtStartup() { … } } @Stateless public class BackupBean { @Schedule(dayOfWeek=”Fri”, hour=”3”, minute=”15”) public void performBackup() { … } } @Stateless public class CacheRefreshingBean { @Schedule(minute=”*/5”, persistent=false) public void refreshCache() { … } }
- 21. EJB 3.1 Lite • A subset of EJB 3.1 • All types of session beans (stateful, stateless, singletons) • Local access only • Declarative transactions and security • Interceptors • ejb-jar.xml descriptor optional
- 22. Java EE 6 Web Profile Core Component Model JSF 2.0 JSP 2.2 · EL 2.2 · JSTL 1.2 · JSR-45 1.0 Servlet 3.0 EJB 3.1 Lite · DI 1.0 · CDI 1.0 · Managed Beans 1.0 Bean Validation 1.0 · Interceptors 1.1 · JSR-250 1.1 JPA 2.0 · JTA 1.1
- 23. Dependency Injection • DI + CDI (JSR-330 + JSR-299) • @Resource still around for container resources @Resource DataSource myDB; • Added @Inject annotation for type-safe injection @Inject @LoggedIn User user; • Automatic scope management (request, session, etc.) • No configuration: beans discovered at startup • Extensible via the BeanManager API
- 24. Scoped Bean with Constructor Injection @ApplicationScoped public class CheckoutHandler { @Inject public CheckoutHandler( @LoggedIn User user, @Reliable @PayBy(CREDIT_CARD) PaymentProcessor processor, @Default ShoppingCart cart) {…} } Injection points identified by Qualifier + Type @Default qualifier can be omitted
- 25. Why Use CDI? • Structure the application as a set of beans • Injection and events enable decoupling – No direct dependency between beans – Freedom to refactor the code, change implementations • Automatic state management base on scope • Support EJB components and plain “managed beans” • Beans discovered automatically - no configuration needed • Extensible notion of bean – Can incorporate components from external frameworks
- 26. Java EE 6 Platform • More powerful • More flexible • More extensible • Easier to use http://www.oracle.com/javaee
