J2EE/JEE technology
 What Is Java EE?

 Java Platform, Enterprise Edition or Java EE

 Java EE vs. Java SE (Java Standard Edition)
 Java EE vs. Java ME (Java Micro Edition)
 Java EE is a Sun specification implemented by independent
vendors:
 IBM WebSphere, BEA Weblogic
 Jboss, GlassFish
 The Java EE platform uses a distributed multitiered application
model for enterprise applications.

 An enterprise application is any application that applies to an

entire enterprise.

 Java EE Server and Containers

 Java EE server: The runtime portion of a Java EE product. A

Java EE server provides EJB and web containers.
 Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) container: Manages the
execution of enterprise beans for Java EE applications.
 Web container: Manages the execution of JSP, Servlet, and
Java Server Faces.
 Application client container: Manages the execution of
application client components.
 Applet container: Manages the execution of applets. Consists
of a web browser and Java Plug-in running on the client
together.

 A Java EE module
 One or more Java EE components for the same container type
 One component deployment descriptor of that type
 Java EE modules
 EJB modules, which contain class files for enterprise beans and an
EJB deployment descriptor. EJB modules are packaged as JAR files
with a .jar extension.
 Web modules, which contain servlet class files, JSP files, supporting
class files, GIF and HTML files, and a web application deployment
descriptor. Web modules are packaged as JAR files with a .war (Web
ARchive) extension.
 Application client modules, which contain class files and an application
client deployment descriptor. Application client modules are packaged as
JAR files with a .jar extension.
 Development roles

 Java EE Product Provider: product providers are typically application server

vendors who implement the Java EE platform according to the Java EE 5
Platform specification.
 Tool Provider: the tool provider is the company or person who creates
development, assembly, and packaging tools used by component providers,
assemblers, and deployers.
 Enterprise Bean Developer
 Writes and compiles the source code
 Specifies the deployment descriptor
 Packages the .class files and deployment descriptor into the EJB JAR file
 Development roles

 Web Component Developer

 Writes and compiles servlet source code
 Writes JSP, JavaServer Faces, and HTML files
 Specifies the deployment descriptor
 Packages the .class, .jsp, and .html files and deployment descriptor into
the WAR file
 Application Client Developer
 Development roles

 Application Assembler
 Assembles EJB JAR and WAR files created in the previous phases into
a Java EE application (EAR) file
 Specifies the deployment descriptor for the Java EE application
 Verifies that the contents of the EAR file are well formed and comply
with the Java EE specification
 Application Deployer and Administrator
 Deploys/installs the Java EE application EAR file into the Java EE
server

 Starting and Stopping the Application Server

asadmin start-domain --verbose domain1
asadmin stop-domain domain1
A domain is a set of one or more Application Server instances managed by
one administration server. Associated with a domain are the following:
 The Application Server's port number. The default is 8080.
 The administration server's port number. The default is 4848.
 An administration user name and password.

The --verbose flag causes all logging and debugging output to appear on the
terminal window or command prompt (it will also go into the server log,
which is located in <JAVAEE_HOME>/domains/domain1/logs/server.log).

 Web modules

In the Java EE architecture, web components and static web content files
such as images are called web resources. A web module is the smallest
deployable and usable unit of web resources. A Java EE web module
corresponds to a web application as defined in the Java Servlet
specification.
 Web modules

The structure of a web module that can be deployed on the Application

Server is shown:
 Packaging web modules

You package a web module into a WAR by using the ant utility, or
by using the IDE tool of your choice

To build the hello1 application with NetBeans 5.5, follow these instructions

1. In NetBeans 5.5, select FileOpen Project.

2. In the Open Project dialog, navigate to:

<INSTALL>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/

3. Select the hello1 folder.

4. Select the Open as Main Project checkbox.

5. Click Open Project Folder.

6. In the Projects tab, right-click the hello1 project and select Build Project.
 Packaging web modules

To build the hello1 application using the ant utility, follow these steps

1. In a terminal window, go to <INSTALL>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/hello1/.

2. Run ant. This target will spawn any necessary compilations, copy files to the
<INSTALL>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/hello1/build/ directory, create the WAR file, and copy
it to the <INSTALL>/javaeetutorial5/examples/web/hello1/dist/ directory
 Deploying a WAR file

You can deploy a WAR file to the Application Server in a few ways:
• Copying the WAR into the
<JavaEE_HOME>/domains/domain1/autodeploy/ directory.
• Using the Admin Console.
• By running asadmin or ant to deploy the WAR.
• To deploy or undeploy a WAR with asadmin, open a terminal
window or command prompt and execute:
asadmin deploy full-path-to-war-file
asadmin undeploy context_root
