Apache OpenWebBeans M4
-------------------------------
Welcome! Thanks for downloading and using OpenWebBeans. This document is a
"Getting Started Guide" for OpenWebBeans.
This document is based on the M4 release of the OpenWebBeans. M4 version is so
closer to the full implementation of the JSR-299 and it is very stable.
NOTE : Final release version of OpenWebBeans will be 1.0.0.
--------------------------------
What is an OpenWebBeans?
--------------------------------
OpenWebBeans is an ASL-License implementation of the JSR-299, Contexts and Dependency Injection for the Java EE platform.
Project web page could be found at the URL :

Required Platform
----------------------------------------------
Java Version : Java SE >= 6.0
Java EE Must : Java EE >= 5.0
---------------------------------------------
How to Configure The OpenWebBeans
---------------------------------------------
This section explains a content of the distribution bundle, OWB plugins and its
dependent libraries.
---------------------------------------------
M4 Distribution Content
---------------------------------------------
There are several jars in the OpenWebBeans M4 distribution;
- openwebbeans-impl-1.0.0-M4.jar --> Includes Core Dependency Injection Service.
- openwebbeans-ejb-1.0.0-M4.jar --> EJB Plugin(Supports EJBs in OpenEJB embedded in Tomcat).
- openwebbeans-jms-1.0.0-M4.jar --> JMS Plugin(Supports injection of JMS related artifacts,i.e, ConnectionFactory, Session, Connection etc.)
- openwebbeans-jsf-1.0.0-M4.jar --> JSF Plugin(JSF Conversation Scoped Support).
- openwebbeans-resource-1.0.0-M4.jar --> Java EE Resource Injection for Web Projects (Includes @PersistenceContext,@PersistenceUnit
and @Resource injection into the Managed Beans. @Resource injections use java:/comp/env of the
Web application component. @PersistenceContext is based on extended EntityManager.
- openwebbeans-spi-1.0.0-M4.jar --> OpenWebBeans Server Provider Interfaces. They are implemented by runtime environments that would
like to use OpenWebBeans as a JSR-299 implementation.
- samples --> Includes source code of the samples. Samples are mavenized project therefore you can easily build and run
them from your environment that has maven runtime.
------------------------------------------
How OWB Plugins Work
------------------------------------------
OpenWebBeans has been developing as a plugin way. Core dependency injection service
is provided with the Core implementation jar,i.e, openwebbeans-impl. If you need further service functionality,
you have to add respective plugin jars into the application classpath. Plugin functionality uses Java SE 6.0
"java.util.ServiceLoader" utility.
Current Plugins:
---------------------
Look at "M4 Distribution Content" above.
------------------------------------------
Dependent Libraries
------------------------------------------
Third Party jars:
-----------------
They are necessary at runtime in the Core Implementation.
log4j: Version 1.2.14
dom4j: Version 1.6.1
javassist : Version 3.11.0.GA
scannotation : Version 1.0.2
Java EE APIs jars(Container Provider Libraries) :
-------------------------------------------------
Generally full Java EE servers provides these jars. But web containers like Tomcat or Jetty
does not contain some of them, such as JPA, JSF, Validation API etc. So, if you do not want to bundle
these libraries within your application classpath, you have to put these libraries into your
server common classpath if it does not contain.
jcdi-api (JSR-299 Specification API)
atinject-api (JSR-330 Specification API)
servlet-2.5 or servlet 3.0 (Servlet Specification API)
ejb-3.1 (EJB Specification API)
el-2.2 (Expression Langauge Specification API)
jsf-2.0 (Java Server Faces API)
jsr-250 (Annotation API)
interceptor-1.1 (Interceptor API)
jta-1.1 (Java Transaction API)
jsp.2.1 or jsp-2.2 (Java Server Pages API)
jpa-2.0 (Java Persistence API)
jaxws-2.1 or jaxws-2.2 (Java Web Service API)
jms-1.1 or jms-1.2 (Java Messaging Service API)
validation (Validation Specification)
Dependencies of OpenWebBeans Maven Modules&Plugins
--------------------------------------------------
openwebbeans-impl :
------------------
Third party : log4j, dom4j, javassist, scannotation, openwebbeans-spi
Container Provided : jcdi-api, at-inject, servlet, el, jsr-250, interceptor, jta, jsp, validation
openwebbeans-ejb:
-----------------
Third party : openwebbeans-impl and its dependencies
Container Provided : OpenWebBeans EJB plugin is based on OpenEJB in Tomcat. Therefore, if you install OpenEJB
within Tomcat correctly, there is no need to add any additional libraries. Look at the
OpenEJB in Tomcat configuration section.
openwebbeans-jms:
-----------------
Third party : openwebbeans-impl and its dependencies
Container Provided : jms
openwebbeans-jsf:
-----------------
Third party : openwebbeans-impl and its dependencies
Container Provided : jsf
NOTE : We are trying to decrease dependent libraries of the our core, i.e, openwebbeans-impl.
At 1.0.0, dependent third party libraries will be decreased. We have a plan to create profile
plugins, therefore each profile plugin provides its own dependent libraries. For example, in
fully Java EE Profile Plugin, Transaction API is supported but this will not be the case
for Java Web Profile Plugin or Java SE Profile Plugin. Stay Tune!
Currently, as you have seen above, openwebbeans-impl depends on some Java EE/Runtime
provided libraries (servlet, jsp, el etc). In the future, with OpenWebBeans profiling support,
openwebbeans-impl will not depend on any Java EE APIs. Those APIs will be provided
by OpenWebBeans profiles/plugins that openwebbeans-impl will be used. Therefore,
you will able to use OpenWebBeans in your own runtime environment easily by writing
your own plugins and contributing it to OpenWebBeans :)
------------------------------------------
Library Configuration
------------------------------------------
To run openwebbeans applications in the Java EE based application server,
you could add JSR-299 API and JSR-330 API into the server common classpath, and
implementation, plugins and dependent jars into your "WEB-INF/lib" directory
of the Java EE Web Application.
In this release, we can not support the OpenWebBeans as an integrated
functionality of the Java EE Application Servers. So, you have to manage the
configuration of the OpenWebBeans within your application's "web.xml" file. A sample "web.xml"
file can be found in the "config" directory. To use EJB functionality, you also have to
add OWB specific interceptor into your EJB beans. Look at the EJB section of this readme
for further details.
---------------------------------------------
OpenWebBeans Properties File
---------------------------------------------
OpenWebBeans uses a default configuration file to configure some of its
properties. Default configuration file is embedded into the OWB implementation
jar file. Instead of opening this jar file and changing configuration properties, simply add
"openwebbeans.properties" file into a "META-INF/openwebbeans" folder of your application
classpath. This will override the default configuration.
Belows are default configuration properties of the OpenWebBeans that is embedded into openwebbeans-impl jar file.
Each plugin or developer can provide its own SPI implementation class and its own configuration values. If you woud like
to use those implementation classes or configuration values, you have to override default configuration file as explained
in the above paragraph, i.e, putting "openwebbeans.properties" file into "META-INF/openwebbeans" folder of your application.
For example : You add "META-INF/openwebbeans/openwebbeans.properties" in your application classpath. And you add the following
key-value pair to use. And this service implementation is provided by your plugin, for example OpenWebBeans OpenEJB plugin.
Override default value of ResourceInjectionService
-------------------------------------------------
org.apache.webbeans.spi.ResourceInjectionService=org.apache.webbeans.ejb.resource.OpenEjbResourceInjectionService
OpenWebBeans uses the "OpenEjbResourceInjectionService" class to inject resources into the managed bean instances.

---------------------------------------------
EJB Support via Embeddable OpenEJB Container in Tomcat 6.X
---------------------------------------------
Configuration Steps:
--------------------------------------------
1* Download Tomcat 6.X version
2* Configure OpenEJB. Look at URL http://openejb.apache.org/tomcat.html for installation.
3* Copy JSR-330 API to Tomcat /lib folder.
4* Copy JSR-299 API to Tomcat /lib folder
5* Put all dependent libraries of the OpenWebBeans OpenEJB Plugin
- openwebbeans-ejb
- openwebbeans-impl and its dependencies
You could look at ejb-sample.war for "WEB-INF/lib" libraries to develop custom application.
You can also look at a source of the project.
To use EJB functionality, you will use OpenEJB collapse-ear support. In this configuration,
your EJB beans live within your "war" bundle.
How to Develop EJB Applications
---------------------------------------------
1* Add "META-INF/openwebbeans.properties" into your application classpath.
2* Add "org.apache.webbeans.spi.deployer.UseEjbMetaDataDiscoveryService=true" to use EJB functionality.
So OWB container looks for EJBs.
3* Add "org.apache.webbeans.resource.spi.ResourceService=org.apache.webbeans.ejb.resource.OpenEjbResourceInjectionService to
use OpenEJB Resource injections.
4* Add "openwebbeans-ejb", plugin into your web application classpath.
5* If you want to use other plugins, add respective plugins into your application classpath. For example, if you wish to use
JSF framework, you add "openwebbeans-jsf" plugin.
6* Add OWB related interceptor into your EJB Beans. This is called "org.apache.webbeans.ejb.interceptor.OpenWebBeansEjbInterceptor"
This is needed for OWB injections.
7* Update your application's "web.xml" to add OWB specific configuration.
---------------------------------------------
How to Run Samples
---------------------------------------------
In this release, there are several sample applications located in the "/samples" directory
of the distribution. You can run those samples via simple maven command.
1) "Guess Application" : Simple usage of the OWB + JSF.
It can be run in the jetty web container via maven jetty plugin from source.
Look at "Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin" section.
2) "Hotel Reservation Application" : Show usage of JSF + JPA + OWB
It can be run in the jetty web container via maven jetty plugin from source.
Look at "Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin" section.
3) "EJB Sample Application" : Shows the usage of EJBs with embeddable OpenEJB in Tomcat. Firstly
configure OpenEJB with Tomcat as explained above.
Look at "Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin" section.
4) "EJB Telephone Application" : Shows the usage of OpenEJB resource injection service.
Look at "Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin" section.
5) "JMS Injection Sample" : Show JMS injections. JMS injection currently uses
ConnectionFactory as JMS connection factory jndi name. You can change this
via configuration file. Look above explanation for how to configure JMS jndi. Also,
JMS injection requires to use of a JMS provider. Generally Java EE servers contains
default JMS provider. It can be run on JBoss and Geronimo. It uses Queue with jndi_name = "queue/A".
So you have to create a queue destination in your JMS provider with name "queue/A" to run example.
If you want to change queue jndi name, then look at source and change it from "WEB-INF/beans.xml" file.
6) "Conversation Sample" : Shows usage of JSF conversations.
It can be run in the jetty web container via maven jetty plugin from source.
Look at "Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin" section.
7) "JSF2 Sample" : Shows usage of JSF2 Ajax.
It can be run in the jetty web container via maven jetty plugin from source.
Look at "Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin" section. It requires
to use JSF2 runtime.
8) "Standalone Sample" : Shows usage of OpenWebBeans in Stadnalone Swing Application.
Look at "OpenWebBeans in Java SE" section.
Configuring and Running the Applications:
--------------------------------------------
See section Compile and Run Samples via Jetty&Tomcat Plugin.

Compile and Run Samples via Tomcat&Jetty Plugin
-------------------------------------------
This section shows how to run samples in Jetty or OpenEJB Embedded Tomcat.
------------------------------------------
Samples Run within Jetty Plugin
------------------------------------------
You can compile and run "guess","jsf2","conversation-sample" and "reservation "samples via maven Jetty plugin.
Go to the source bundle "samples/" directory. In the "guess/" or "reservation/" directory, run
the following maven commands. It will start up maven Jetty container. It bundles all of the
required jars into the WEB-INF/lib folder. You are not required to add any jar to the classpath.
Samples : Guess and Reservation
------------------------------
Go to the source folder of projects and run
> mvn clean install -Pjetty
> mvn jetty:run -Pjetty
Guess URL : http://localhost:8080/guess
Reservation URL : http://localhost:8080/reservation
Samples : Conversation Sample and JSF2
-------------------------------------
Go to the source folder of projects and run
>mvn clean install
>mvn jetty:run
Conversation Sample URL : http://localhost:8080/conversation-sample
JSF2 Sample URL : http://localhost:8080/jsf2sample
------------------------------------------
Samples Run within Tomcat Plugin
------------------------------------------
OpenEJB samples are run with Maven Tomcat Plugin.
Tomcat Plugin uses http://localhost:8080/manager application to deploy war file
into your embeddable EJB Tomcat container. There must be an tomcat-users.xml
file in the "conf" directory of the server that contains manager role and username.
>Start Tomcat server if not started
>mvn tomcat:deploy
Ejb Sample URL : http://localhost:8080/ejb-sample
Ejb Telephone URL : http://localhost:8080/ejb-telephone
Example tomcat-users.xml file
