10 WAS v7 Programming Model Currency Goals One word Simplify Simplify the programming model Simplify application coding Simplify application assembly / packaging Simplify testing Simplify Object Relational Mapping Simplify Web Development 10

Goal: Simplify the programming model You want to Develop EJBs that have interfaces and inheritance hierarchies that reflect you business rather than the framework within which you are programming.

11 Goal: Simplify the programming model You want to Develop EJBs that have interfaces and inheritance hierarchies that reflect you business rather than the framework within which you are programming. Enable Java SE developers to quickly learn Java EE and develop enterprise applications IBM Solution Interfaces no longer have to implement the EJBObject interface. EJB methods no longer have to throw RemoteException. EJB implementations no longer required to implement EJB life cycle methods. Use callback annotations instead All implemented as Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs) 11 11

Goal: Simplify application coding You want to Write application code focused on your business logic. Avoid cluttering you application with plumbing code that interacts with the framework and runtime.

12 Goal: Simplify application coding You want to Write application code focused on your business logic. Avoid cluttering you application with plumbing code that interacts with the framework and runtime. : IBM Solution Inversion of control aka Don t call us, we ll call you. Uses dependency Injection. Application code simply declares variables and annotates them to indicate what they want. The container injects the specified object or resource references. Uses JSE 5.0 Annotations to place configuration metadata directly in the code

13 Goal: Simplify application assembly / packaging You want to Develop applications consisting of fewer artifact. Only work with deployment descriptors when I have something to add during assembly or deployment. IBM Solution EJB deployment descriptors are now optional. Used to override information specified in the annotations. Can be sparsely populated. No entries needed except to override defaults. Can be used as alternative to annotations or in combination. Annotations assume the obvious but allow specification of non-default values

14 Goal: Simplify testing You want to Test you application without making an entire trip to the server. Tightly iterate through code, test, debug cycles. Focus on testing your business logic. : IBM Solution Simplified POJO-based programming model Enables unit testing without an application server When ready to run in the EJB container: Bean can be annotated with markers that tell the Container what services to apply to the bean WebSphere Application Server dynamically applies those services at runtime Greatly simplified deployment process Develop Test 14 14

Goal: Simplify Object Relational Mapping You want to Move away from the complex and somewhat limited EJB 2.1 programming model for Persistence.

15 Goal: Simplify Object Relational Mapping You want to Move away from the complex and somewhat limited EJB 2.1 programming model for Persistence. Use simplified POJO based model similar to those that arose in response to this complexity. Use persistence programming model that s supported by standards including O/R mapping. : IBM Solution Java Persistence API (JPA) O/R mapping in either annotations or XML deployment descriptor. Standard support for a richer semantic for O/R mapping. Both object and native queries RDB key generation Inheritance Optimistic locking Entities are just POJOs They don t need to be deployed The can be used as Data Transfer Object as well

16 Goal: Simplify Web Development You want to Interoperable, Reliable Web services Easy-to-implement Consumable and Extensible WS-I Reliable Secure Profile (RAMP Profile) WS-I Basic Security Profile WS-Addressing WS-SecureConversation WS-ReliableMessaging Token Profiles WS-Security IBM Solution JCP-based programming model JAX-WS 2.1, JAXB 2.1 SAAJ 1.3 StAX 1.0 WS-I Basic Profile WS-I Attachments Profile WS-I Simple SOAP Profile Web Standards WS-I Policy Reliable Sets allow Secure these Profile WS-ReliableMessaging to be specified WS-SecureConversation administratively WS-Addressing WS-I Basic Security Profile WS-I Basic Profile

17 Simplifying Web Development With JAX-WS WAS v7 improves and simplifies Java Web API for developing Web services with Java and XML Successor to JAX-RPC 1.1 A JAX-WS implementation integrated with the Web services Engine Support for Web services annotations Incorporates JSR-181 and defines Java SE 5 annotations Tools for creating portable artifacts for the client WSImport for top down development Create a Web service form a WSDL JAX-WS equivalent of WSDL2Java WSGen can be used for bottom up development Create a Web service from Java code JAX-WS equivalent of Java2WSDL 17

18 Simplifying Web Development With JAX-WS WAS v7 improves and simplifies Java Web JAX-WS supports multiple data bindings JAX-B Preferred SAAJ 1.3 (SOAPMessage) XML Source Activation DataSource JAX-B to define binding of XML to Java artifacts JAX-RPC defined its own rules for basic data binding Later specifications enhanced the binding rules IBM s JAX-WS implementation is built on top of Axis2 Web engine Axis2 programming model is not supported Defines annotations to ease development of Web JAX-WS is designed to run on Java 5 18

19 Simplifying Web Development With JAX-WS WAS v7 improves and simplifies Java Web Asynchronous support for clients Using either a polling or callback mechanism Transport neutral Support for HTTP/HTTPS in this release Other transports planned for future releases As in JAX-RPC, JAX-WS provides a mechanism for application handlers Insert or retrieve data from a message as it moves through the Web services engine 19

23 Leveraging Benefits of SOA Programming Model Spring Certified WebSphere Application Server as a Deployment Platform The Spring model offers ease of development, like EJB3. Spring IoC container provides some abstraction between Java SE/EE good for unit test. Significant collaboration between IBM and Interface21 in 2007 tested Spring with WebSphere Application Server on all Base WebSphere Application Server platforms and under load. Framework integration points added to WebSphere Application Server and exploited by Spring 2.5 Early availability of these delivered in and Spring certified WebSphere Application Server as a deployment platform for the Spring framework Spring distribution is not shipped with WebSphere Application Server, nor does WebSphere Application Server provide support for the Spring framework itself Recommended best practices when using Spring with WebSphere Application Server : 23
