Study Notes
Java EE Benefits
- Ensures high availability to support continuous operation of applications.
- Offers scalability to accommodate growing workloads and user demands.
- Facilitates integration with existing systems for seamless operation.
- Provides freedom to select vendors, tools, and application servers.
- Supports a multi-platform approach for cross-environment compatibility.
- Enhances flexibility for various scenarios and diverse client types.
- Improves programming productivity through reusable components and tools.
Introduction to Servlets
- A servlet is a Java component designed to extend a web server’s capabilities by providing custom services.
- Servlet Container (or web container) manages servlets and handles their lifecycle. Example: Apache Tomcat.
Servlet Life Cycle
- Consists of init(), service(), and destroy() methods that manage servlet operations.
- init(): Initializes servlet, called once during its lifecycle for setup.
- service(): Core method for processing client requests, can invoke doGet() or doPost().
- destroy(): Cleans up resources when the servlet is taken out of service, called once.
Ancillary Methods of Servlets
- getServletConfig(): Retrieves servlet-specific configuration information and parameters.
- getServletInfo(): Provides metadata about the servlet, useful for documentation.
Handling Dynamic Requests
- Begins when a user interacts with a link directing to a servlet.
- Security and integration features improve resilience and connectivity in web development frameworks.
Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB)
- An EJB represents a framework for developing large-scale distributed business applications on the Java platform.
- Requires an EJB Container (e.g., WildFly, GlassFish) for key services like lifecycle management and security.
When to Use EJB
- Ideal for applications needing remote access across diverse locations.
- Supports scalability through load balancing and clustering.
- Separates business logic from presentation, allowing cleaner architecture.
Advantages of EJB
- Reusability: Components easily integrated into various applications (e.g., Visual Age).
- Visual Development: EJBs can be visually combined using IDEs to enhance productivity.
- Facilitates multithreading for resource efficiency.
- Simplifies database access (e.g., JDBC) and network communications (e.g., RMI).
- Provides transaction management, easing manual coding efforts.
- Offers well-defined interfaces for interaction between different EJBs.
EJB Types
-
Session Beans: Perform tasks for clients categorized as:
- Stateless: No maintenance of client-specific state across calls.
- Stateful: Maintains state for specific client over multiple calls.
Servers Overview
- A server responds to client requests over a network; types include:
- Web Server: Delivers static content (e.g., HTML).
- Application Server: Runs applications and business logic.
- FTP Server: Manages file transfers.
- Online Game Server: Supports multiplayer gaming environment.
Web Server vs. Application Server
- Web Server: Delivers web pages and serves static content via HTTP.
- Application Server: Handles dynamic content and manages business logic with various protocols (e.g., RMI).
Java EE Servers and Containers
- Java EE Server: Runtime component providing EJB and web containers.
- EJB Container: Manages EJB execution.
- Web Container: Oversees execution of web pages and servlets.
- Application Client Container: Executes client components.
- Applet Container: Manages applet execution through a web browser.
Java EE Services
- Messaging: Java Message Service (JMS) enables asynchronous messaging.
- Transaction: Implemented by Java Transaction API (JTA) for transaction management.
- Persistence: Managed by Java Persistence API (JPA) for ORM and database operations.
- Web Service: JAX-RS and JAX-WS support REST and SOAP services.
- Contexts & Dependency Injection: CDI promotes loosely coupled resource injection.
