WHYWAVEMAKER AND
CLOUD FOUNDRY?

Some
limitations
when
developing
SaaS with
traditional
IDEs
Difficult for non-expert
programmers to
approach
Sometimes need to
build to see the result
Need to export the
project then upload to
deploy on the cloud

Strong points
ofWaveMaker
More Drag and
Drop
Pre-defined
template
Create & Export
database right in
Software
View the result
without building
Pre-built single
sign on
Create validation
without writing
codes
Deploy to the
cloud with clicks
Reduce 50%
development
time

In short, what
isWaveMaker?
Drag and drop (WYSIWYG)
Web fast
Continue to develop using other Java
IDEs
Extensible
Simple clicks to deploy to multi-tenant
server
Cloud ready
• Multi-tenant server: application can run in 3 environment:
Desktop,Tablet, Phone

Some
problems of
traditional
solution
without PaaS

PaaS: Platform
as a service
 Platform as a service (PaaS) : cloud computing services =
software as a service (SaaS) + infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
 The consumer creates the software using tools and/or libraries
from the provider.
 The consumer controls software deployment and configuration
settings.
 Provider provides the networks, servers, storage and other
services.

Cloud Foundry
 CloudFoundry's an open-source PaaS (github.com/cloudfoundry).
 It commoditizes the stack - that is, in practical terms, it makes it
dead simple to get things like databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL,
Redis, MongoDB), messaging (RabbitMQ), and web servers
(Tomcat) up and running quickly
 Focus strictly on writing applications, instead of worrying about
middleware and infrastructure.
 Developers have access to high productivity
frameworks.
 Choice of cloud deployment, whether that is across a public,
private, or hybrid cloud.

Cloud Foundry
 Open source cloud computing Platform as a service (PaaS)
software developed byVMWare.
 Written in Ruby.
 Also a hosted service offered byVMware.This service can be
accessed at cloudfoundry.com.
 This service is still in beta and pricing is not yet determined.
 Runs onVMware's infrastructure.

Cloud Foundry

History of
Cloud Foundry
 As well as being an Open Source project, Cloud Foundry is also a
hosted service offered byVMWare.
 As of September 2012, this service is still in beta and pricing is not
yet determined.
 CloudFoundry.com runs onVMware's infrastructure and uses
its vSphere virtualization product suite as infrastructure

 Requirements:
 Cloud Foundry account
 Connect to the Internet

Example:
Cloud Foundry
Architecture
Source: [5]

Example:
Cloud Foundry
-App
Execution
Engine
 The piece that runs your application.
 Launches and manages the Rails, Java, and other language app
servers.
 App is scaled up more app execution engines will launch an app
server with your code.
 It can be launched on any suitably configured server, then it
connects to the other servers in the PaaS and starts running user
applications

Example:
Cloud Foundry
- Request
Router
 Front door to the PaaS.
 Accepts all the HTTP requests for all the applications running in
the PaaS routes them to the best app execution engine that runs
the appropriate application code.
 Load balancer that knows which app is running where.
 Needs to be told about the hostname used by each application
and it keeps track of the available app execution engines for each
app.

Example:
Cloud Foundry
-The cloud
controller
 Implements the external API used by tools to load/unload apps
and control their environment, including the number of app
execution engines that should run each application.
 As part of taking in new applications it creates the bundles that
app execution engines load to run an application.
 A nice aspect of the cloud controller is that it is relatively policy-
free, meaning that it relies on external input to perform
operations such as scaling how many app execution engines each
application uses.This allows different management policies to be
plugged-in.

Example:
Cloud Foundry
- Health
Manager
 Responsible for keeping applications alive
 Ensuring that if an app execution engine crashes the applications
it ran are restarted elsewhere.
 All these parts are tied together using a simple message
bus, which, among other things allows all the servers to find each
other.

Example:
Deploy to
MicroCloud
Foundry
 Requirements:
 Cloud Foundry account
 Register the domain with Cloud FoundryToken

Example:
MicroCloud
Foundry
 Downloadable version of Cloud Foundry that can run on a
developer's laptop.
 Applications deployed on it will run with minimal modification on
any private or public cloud running Cloud Foundry.
 offers developers choice of frameworks, choice of application
infrastructure services and choice of clouds in which to deploy
applications.

Example:
MicroCloud
Foundry
(cont.)
 Supports Java on Spring, Ruby on Rails/Sinatra and Node.JS
frameworks as well as MySQL, MongoDB and Redis application
services.
 supports both Cloud Foundry’s scriptable command line interface
(vmc) and integration with the Eclipse-based SpringSourceTool
Suite (STS).
 Allows developers to retarget deployments between on-premise
and public environments without code modifications

Part 3
 Part 5: Q&A

Exercise
 Build a Master – Details website
 Topic:Class list
 Database:
 HSQLDB: Hyper Structured Query Language Database
 3Tables: Student, Country, Gender
 User can insert, update and delete 3 lists:
 Student list
 Country list
 Gender list
 User can
 Run the application using Run function
 Deploy to Public Cloud Foundry (account needed)

Exercise:Steps
Step 1 • Create Project and choose
Template
Step 2 • Make some minor
changes
Step 3 • Create Database
Step4 • Create Live Panels
Step 5
• Run
• Deploy

Exercise:Steps
 Hard way: Can watch our clips for each step
 Normal way: Follow our real time steps
 Easy way: Can import the sample project we built and see how it
runs

Eclipse +Cloud
Foundry
 Use Eclipse Extension
 Cloud Foundry Integration Extension in STS
 Cloud Foundry Integration Extension in Eclipse

WaveMaker +
Tomcat
 Deploy toTomcat Server
 Sad News: up to now, cannot deploy toTomcat 7 (newest version)
(Source: [6])
 Solution: deploy toWAR file and put intoTomcat 7

Other
WaveMaker
Alternatives
Vaadin & Openxava WaveMaker
Use Java and JavaScript

Less typing code
Less drag and drop More drag and drop
Have to deploy to files and
upload to the Cloud or Servers
such asTomcat
Deploy directly to Cloud

OtherCloud
Foundry
Alternatives
 Red Hat's OpenShift are cloud alternatives for Cloud Foundry.
 Cloudify is an open source, cloud computing PaaS started
February 2012 by GigaSpacesTechnologies.
 GoogleApp Engine enables you to build and host web apps on the
same systems that power Google applications.

Cloud Foundry
vs.OpenShift
Cloud Foundry Open Shift
Supports the Spring,Grails,
Scala, Play, Node.js and Ruby,
Rails, Sinatra Frameworks
supports JBoss, Node.js, Java,
Ruby on Rails, Python, PHP,
Perl, server side Javascript as
well as some packages like
Drupal andWordpress
Cloud Foundry recommends
Eclipse,Wavemaker and Spring
Extension.
Red Hat recommends using the
jBoss development IDE. Plug-
in giving an option to create
various types of projects.
These include an OpenShift one
with all the publishing settings
already set up.
This makes developing a little easier as developers do not have to
use the command line tools to publish your application.

GoogleApp vs.
Cloud Foundry
GoogleApp Cloud Foundry
App Engine offers fast development
and deployment.
App Engine is in Production . Cloud Foundry is still Beta.
Supports Java, Python supports Java / Spring,
Groovy/Grails, Ruby Rails & Sinatra,
Node.js, .Net
Not anOpen Source. Open Source.
Simple administration, with no need to worry about hardware, patches or
backups; and effortless scalability.
