Hello there.
I am currently evaluating the use of JBoss Seam for my organization.
After getting a Seam skeleton app to successfully start (generated with SeamGen), I
implemented the create, read and delete parts of a very simple and primtive CRUD use case
for a single entity bean.
But now I am struck, because I cant find a way to update an entity bean with new values.
After looking at the code which is generated by the hibernate reverse engineering tool, I
took my inspiration from the EntitySelector pattern (if I may call it so).
It works like this:
Ingredients:
Entity
listEntityAction stateful session bean
editEntityAction stateful session bean
EntitySelector stateless session bean
1.) An listEntity.xhtml page is backed by the listEntityAction SFSB. The Data is displayed
in a DataTable, and after selecting something from the data table, a button on the
editEntity page, has to be pressed.
2.) Pressing the button calls a method of the EntitySelector, which mediates between the
two SFSB. It has references injected for listEntityAction and editEntityAction. Right now
all that the EntitySelector has to do, is ask the listEntityAction.getSelection() and pass
it over to editEntityAction.initEdit()
3.) Then editEntity.xhtml is displayed with the contents of the selected entity, the user
can change the values, and after pressing a button, the backing editEntityAction merges
the entity back to the persistence layer.
Below is the code.
Sadly, it just does not work, because the EntitySelector SLSB can`t seem to call a method
from the injected SFSB`s. (My guess is that somehow the injection does not work.)
It would be really great if somebody could tell me why my code does not work, or if there
is an easier pattern to achive the whole CRUD work. (after all, I am not the only person
wanting to write this code manually.)
My Entity is called "Ware.java":
| import java.io.Serializable;
| import javax.persistence.Entity;
| import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
| import javax.persistence.Id;
| import javax.persistence.Lob;
|
| import org.hibernate.validator.Length;
| import org.hibernate.validator.NotNull;
| import org.hibernate.validator.Range;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
|
| @Entity
| @Name("ware")
| public class Ware implements Serializable{
|
| private Long id;
| private String name;
| private String beschreibung;
| private int bewertung;
| private float gewicht;
|
| public Ware() {}
|
| @Id @GeneratedValue
| public Long getId()
| {
| return id;
| }
| public void setId(Long id)
| {
| this.id = id;
| }
|
| @NotNull
| @Lob
| public String getBeschreibung() {
| return beschreibung;
| }
| public void setBeschreibung(String beschreibung) {
| this.beschreibung = beschreibung;
| }
|
| @NotNull
| @Range(min=1, max=5)
| public int getBewertung() {
| return bewertung;
| }
| public void setBewertung(int bewertung) {
| this.bewertung = bewertung;
| }
|
| @NotNull
| public float getGewicht() {
| return gewicht;
| }
| public void setGewicht(float gewicht) {
| this.gewicht = gewicht;
| }
|
| @NotNull
| @Length(min=0, max=40)
| public String getName() {
| return name;
| }
| public void setName(String name) {
| this.name = name;
| }
|
| public String toString()
| {
| return "Ware( Id: " + id + " )";
| }
| }
|
The listWaren local interface:
| import javax.ejb.Local;
|
| @Local
| public interface ListWaren
| {
| public String deleteWare();
| public void findWare();
| public void refresh();
| public Ware getSelection();
| public void destroy();
| }
|
This is the listWarenAction statefull session bean:
| import static javax.persistence.PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED;
| import static org.jboss.seam.ScopeType.SESSION;
| import java.io.Serializable;
| import java.util.List;
| import javax.ejb.Remove;
| import javax.ejb.Stateful;
| import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
| import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Factory;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Out;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.datamodel.DataModel;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.datamodel.DataModelSelection;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
| import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;
|
| @Stateful
| @Scope(SESSION)
| @Name("listWaren")
| public class ListWarenAction implements ListWaren, Serializable
| {
|
| @Logger private Log log;
| @PersistenceContext(type=EXTENDED)
| private EntityManager em;
|
| @In(create=true)
| EditWaren editWaren;
|
| @DataModel
| private List<Ware> allWaren;
|
| @DataModelSelection
| @In(required=false) @Out(required=false)
|
| private Ware oneWare;
|
| @Factory("allWaren")
| public void findWare()
| {
| executeQuery();
| }
|
| public void refresh()
| {
| executeQuery();
| }
|
| private void executeQuery()
| {
| allWaren = em.createQuery("from Ware e").getResultList();
| }
|
| public String deleteWare()
| {
| allWaren.remove(oneWare);
| em.remove(oneWare);
| oneWare=null;
| return "Usecase-Manager.seam";
| }
|
|
|
| public Ware getSelection()
| {
| return em.merge(oneWare);
| }
|
| @Remove @Destroy
| public void destroy() {}
| }
|
The editWaren local interface:
| import javax.ejb.Local;
| @Local
| public interface EditWaren
| {
| public boolean isNew();
| public void setNew(boolean isNew);
| public void initCreate();
| public String createWare();
| public void initEdit(Ware editThisWare);
| public String editWare();
| public void destroy();
| }
|
Then there is the editWarenAction statefull session bean:
| import static javax.persistence.PersistenceContextType.EXTENDED;
| import static org.jboss.seam.ScopeType.SESSION;
| import java.io.Serializable;
| import javax.ejb.Remove;
| import javax.ejb.Stateful;
| import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
| import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.End;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Logger;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
| import org.jboss.seam.log.Log;
|
| @Stateful
| @Scope(SESSION)
| @Name("editWaren")
| public class EditWarenAction implements EditWaren, Serializable
| {
| @Logger private Log log;
|
| @PersistenceContext(type=EXTENDED)
| private EntityManager em;
|
| @In
| private Ware ware;
|
| @In(required = false)
| private transient ListWaren listWaren;
|
| private boolean isNew;
| public boolean isNew() {
| return isNew;
| }
| public void setNew(boolean isNew) {
| this.isNew = isNew;
| }
|
| public void initCreate()
| {
| isNew = true;
| ware = new Ware();
| }
|
| public String createWare()
| {
| em.persist(ware);
| listWaren.refresh();
| return "/listWare.seam";
| }
|
| public void initEdit(Ware editThisWare)
| {
| isNew = false;
| ware = editThisWare;
| }
|
| public String editWare()
| {
| em.merge(ware);
| listWaren.refresh();
| return "/listWare.seam";
| }
|
| @Remove @Destroy
| public void destroy() {}
| }
|
And finaly the WarenSelector stateless session bean and its local interface:
| import javax.ejb.Local;
|
| @Local
| public interface WarenSelector {
| public String callCreate();
| public String callEdit();
| }
|
| import static org.jboss.seam.ScopeType.SESSION;
| import javax.ejb.Remove;
| import javax.ejb.Stateless;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Begin;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Destroy;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.In;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Name;
| import org.jboss.seam.annotations.Scope;
|
| @Stateless
| @Scope(SESSION)
| @Name("warenSelector")
|
| public class DefaultWarenSelector implements WarenSelector {
| @In(create=true)
| private transient EditWaren editWaren;
|
| @In(create=true)
| private transient ListWaren listWaren;
|
| public String callCreate()
| {
| editWaren.initCreate();
| return "/editWaren.jsp";
| }
|
| public String callEdit()
| {
| editWaren.initEdit(listWaren.getSelection());
| return "/editWaren.jsp";
| }
|
| @Remove @Destroy
| public void destroy() {}
|
| }
|

If the configuration files are necessary, then I will post them as well.
Thanks for any help, in advance !
