This TOTD (Tip Of The Day) shows how to create a simple Java Server Faces application using NetBeans IDE 6.1 . This is my first ever Java Server Faces application :) Much more comprehensive applications are already available in NetBeans and GlassFish tutorials . The application is really simple - it allows you to create a database of cities/country that you like. You enter the city & country name on a page and click on Submit. This stores the data entered in the backend database and displays all the stored values in a new page. This application demonstrates simple JSF concepts: How to create a JSF application using NetBeans IDE ? How to populate a JSF widget with a Managed Bean ? How to use a Persistence Unit with JSF widgets ? How to setup navigation rules between multiple pages ? How to print simple error validation messages ? How to inject a bean into another class ? This particular TOTD is using JSF 1.2 that is already bundled with GlassFish v2 . Let's get started. In NetBeans IDE, create a new project Create a new NetBeans Web project and enter the values ("Cities") as shown: and click on "Next". Choose GlassFish v2 as the deployment server and click on "Next". Select "JavaServer Faces" framework as shown below: take defaults and click on "Finish". Create a Persistence Unit as explained in TOTD #38 . The values required for this TOTD are slightly different and given below. Use the following table definition: create table citi ...

I've mentioned before that one of the NetBeans features I really like is it's JSF CRUD generator. With this utility, NetBeans can create a complete JSF application from existing JPA entities. Since JPA entities can be generated in NetBeans from an existing database schema, a full application can be created with just a few clicks of the mouse. The NetBeans JSF CRUD generator has been getting better and better. Originally it would create simple pages using basic rendered HTML. Then it was improved to use CSS styles so that the generated application would be more visually appealing. Now it has been improved once again, I was going through the New and Noteworthy for NetBeans 6.5, and I noticed that the JSF CRUD generator now has the ability to generate "Ajaxified" pages . I downloaded the latest NetBeans 6.5 nightly build from http://bits.NetBeans.org/dev/nightly/latest/ and took this feature for a spin, it works great. ...

I am a Maven fan. I really like how it strongly encourages a consistent directory structure across projects. I also like how "build" commands are consistent across builds, for example, building a war file is always done by "mvn package", where when using ANT the build script dictates the exact command to use (it could be "ant war", "ant build-war", "ant create-war" or anything else the build script creator came up with. More than anything, I love how Maven handles dependencies, they are declared in the project's pom.xml, and automatically downloaded from a central repository, obviating the need to manually download and check in dependencies into version control. I became a NetBeans fan because of its outstanding support for Maven. As I have been getting more familiar with NetBeans, I've come to appreciate a lot of its features, such as Visual Web JSF development, JSF CRUD generation, automatic generation of JPA entities from an existing schema, so on and so forth. These features save a lot of time and effort, but unfortunately to take advantage of them a standard NetBeans project needs to be used, they don't work from a Maven project. Standard NetBeans project keep two of the main advantages of Maven, there is a consistent directory structure, and a consistent set of ANT tasks are used to build, deploy and run the application, unfortunately Maven's dependency management is lost when using standard NetBeans projects. I had heard about I ...

 I spent some more time with NetBeans 6.5 Java EE functionality. First feedback: Field Level Access is generated now for Entities. However the Entities are still marked as Serializable - which is actually not necessary. Call Enterprise Bean, Use Database, Send JMS Message wizzards are available from the ctrl+enter "popup". This is really nice - it doesn't disturb the workflow. For strange reasons "Use Entity Manager" is not included into the pop-up and is only available via the usual menu. "Deploy On Change" feature works surprisingly well. On every save all your changed EJBs are incrementally deployed to the application server. I testet it with Glassfish v2ur2, it works really well so far. This feature can be activated or deactivated in "Properties" -> "Run" and checkbox "Deploy On Change". ...the splash screen is nice :-) What I'm missing or what would be nice: There was already a "design query" functionality in the SQL-explorer. I never actually used it for design a query, but it was very useful to visualize the tables with it's relations. It should be reintroduced (I think it is no more available since 6.0). [a killer feature] The support for ejb-jar.xml deployment descriptors could be better. There is no code completion in XML for Java Code etc. so it is easy to misspell class names etc. [especially useful for e.g. tracing interceptors] There is no support for orm.xml. So it is not vey easy to transform existing annotations into X ...

Rails 2.2 is slated to become multi-threaded . What does it mean for JRuby users ? Charles Nutter explains it: Q/A: What Thread-Safe Rails Means One of the key points from the blog is: Rails deployments on JRuby will use 1/Nth the amount of memory they use now, where N is the number of thread-unsafe Rails instances currently required to handle concurrent requests. Even compared to green-threaded implementations running thread-safe Rails, it willl likely use 1/Mth the memory where M is the number of cores, since it can parallelize happily across cores with only "one" instance. NetBeans development and GlassFish deployment already provide an ideal environment for Rails deployment. All previous entries in this series are archived at LOTD .

Hi all, I got some great news last night. David Van Couvering announced that the Sakila sample database was available on the Update Center . For those of you unfamiliar with Sakila, it is a very big sample database with a lot of data. It's a great database for fully testing features of MySQL. Sakila has actually been around for awhile now, but the size of the database had made it unusable in NetBeans IDE. Now, David has created a plugin that makes it very easy for you to load the MySQL Sakila sample database from NetBeans. Here's how you can try it out: Get a development build of NetBeans 6.5 . (It will not work with 6.5 Beta.) Get the plugin in the Plugin Manager (Tools > Plugins) To filter the plugins, type Sakila in the search box. Then install the plugin. Now make sure that you have MySQL on your machine and that it is running. Then, in the Services window, expand Databases > right-click the MySQL Server node and choose Connect. (If you don't have this node, right-click Databases and choose Register MySQL Server. Right-click the MySQl Server node and choose Create Database. In the Create MySQL Database dialog box, select the Saklia database (It was added by the plugin). Click OK. In the New Database Connection dialog box, type the user and password and click OK. When prompted for a schema, just click OK. Expand the sakila database connection > Tables in the Services windows and stare in amazement at all the goodies you've just ins ...

Hi all, Another friendly reminder to those doing Visual Web JSF tutorials: don't forget to add the binding attribute to components you want to add Java code to. This is not just a NetBeans 6.1 feature, this is the future. In the past, Visual Web projects were packed with unused code (e.g. getters and setters), making them huge. In order to make NetBeans a leaner IDE, changes had to be made, and this was an obvious choice. So, it looks as if this feature is here to stay. There are instructions for adding binding attributes in every tutorial where it is applicable. There is also a neat little wiki at http://wiki.NetBeans.org/OnDemandBindingAttribute to use as your guide. Just trying to help. See you tomorrow. --James ...
