    Homework Assignment 2
    Due September 14

    Your First Cup

    Work through the tutorial Your First Cup: An Introduction to the Java EE Platform
    (http://download.oracle.com/javaee/5/firstcup/doc/).

    While the tutorial specifies NetBeans 5.5, you can use NetBeans 6.9; see Updates and
    Tips below.

    One section of the tutorial is particularly difficult to follow. When you reach Creating
    the gree tin g. js p Page, save yourself some grief and copy the contents of
    example\firstcup\firstcup-war\web\greeting.jsp rather modifying the page step-
    by-step as described. Pick up the tutorial again at Defining Page Navigation. You may
    wish to do the same for response.jsp, but those instructions are a bit easier to follow.

    As you work through the tutorial:

    1. Which Java EE containers comprise the middle tier of a multi-tiered application?


    2. When you have deployed the firstcup-dukes-age Web Service, take a
    screenshot showing the NetBeans Output window.
    3. Open the Services tab and expand Servers → GlassFish 2.x. Can you find the
    Web Service that was deployed? Take a screenshot.
    4. Looking at the code for DukesBirthdayBean, where does the information passed
    to logger.info() go?
    5. Compare DukesBirthdayBean and DukesBDay. Why are there two different
    beans? Why is only one an EJB? Which tier does each bean belong to? Do they
    run in different containers?
    6. Take screenshots of the greeting and response pages.
    7. NetBeans catches a mistake in response.jsp. What is it?
    8. When you run ant deploy, submit screenshots or transcripts of the output for
    both firstcup-dukes-age and firstcup.
    9. What happens when you run an asadmin undeploy after having already run ant
    undeploy?
    10. If NetBeans takes care of deployment for you, why would you want to use Ant or
    asadmin?
    Updates and Tips
    • In Getting the Tutorial Bundle, use firstcup-1.0.2.zip. Unzip into the root
    of Drive C: so that a directory called C:\firstcup-1.0.2 is created.
    • Instead of Sun Java System Application Server, you will be using GlassFish
    v2.x.
    • The Server Manager has been renamed to Servers.
    • When you open the Servers Dialog in the Lab, you may get a message about
    forgetting existing passwords and starting with a fresh keyring. Click Ok, then
    reset the Password: field to adminadmin and close the dialog.
    • The GlassFish application server should already be installed and registered in the
    Lab. Except for resetting the password, you only need to follow the rest of
    instructions under Building the Examples with NetBeans if you are installing on
    another machine. Note that these instructions are repeated in Coding the
    Example Application.
    • If you do plan to install on another machine, you can obtain GlassFish from
    https://glassfish.dev.java.net/downloads/v2.1.1-final.html.
    • When editing files in Building the Examples on the Command-Line Using
    Ant, note that the configuration files use UNIX line endings and will not work
    with the Windows Notepad. Use TextPad or another text editor.
    • In the Lab, set javaee.home to c:/Program Files/NetBeans
    6.9/Sun/AppServer.

    • In the New Project dialog, the category Web is now Java Web and Enterprise
    is now Java EE.
    • In the New File dialog, the category Java Classes is now Java.
    • The DukesAge class will probably be generated without a default constructor.
    • The Projects context menu now says Build or Deploy instead of Build Project or
    Deploy Project.
    • In Creating the Enterprise Application, there will be no application.xml file
    until you Right-click the firstcup module and choose New → Standard
    Deployment Descriptor… and click Finish.
    • When pasting code, into NetBeans, you may wish to Right-click in the editor
    window and select Format to fix the indentation.
    • There is no EJB Methods entry in the Right-click popup menu. Instead, you will
    see a lightbulb icon in the left margin at the beginning of the
    getAgeDifference() method. Left-click the lightbulb and choose Expose
    method in remote business interface Dukes Bi r thd ay Be an Re mo te . Note
    that the changes described in the next section (Modify
    Duk es Bi rt hd ay Re mo te .j ava ) have been made automatically by NetBeans.
    • In Setting firstc up -w ar to Support JavaServer Faces Technology, the
    servlet URL mapping is now JSF Servlet URL Pattern: on the Categories tab.
    There is no Validate XML checkbox.
    • Note that the File menu no longer has a Refresh All Files entry. The Projects
    pane should be updated automatically.
    • When you open faces-config.xml, the XML view is no longer the default.
    • Note that the changes described in Adding a Dependency on the Enterprise
    Bean Module have been made automatically by NetBeans.
    • In Adding An Enterprise Bean Reference, note that the name of the EJB remote
    interface is now DukesBirthdayBeanRemote rather than DukesBirthdayRemote.
    • Since NetBeans no longer generates default constructors, you will need to add one
    to the DukesBDay class. Right-click in the editor window, select Insert Code…
    → Constructor... → Generate.
    • In Getting Duke’s Current Age, note that dragging the getDukesAge operation
    into the editor no longer works as described. Paste in the code from the tutorial
    instead.
    • In Configuring the Dukes BD ay Managed Bean, the popup menu is no longer
    JavaServer Faces → Add Managed Bean. Instead choose Insert → Managed
    Bean… The same applies to adding Add Navigation Rule and Add Navigation
    Case in later sections.
    • In Preparing the Deployment Descriptor, you will probably find that no
    Context Parameters have been defined.
    • In Building, Packaging, and Deploying and Running the Example
    Application, the “terminal” is a Windows Command Prompt.
    • In Building and Packaging first cu p- du ke s- age Using Ant, on Lab
    machines type the following to configure the path:

    set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21\bin;%PATH%;C:\Program Files\NetBeans


    6.9\Sun\AppServer\lib\ant\bin

    Note that this change applies only in the Command Prompt window where you
    typed it. To make the change permanent, you would need to make the change
    under the computer’s Advanced system settings.
