+ <title>Introduction</title>
+ <para>The following chapters describe how to deal with classic/old style of Struts development. We
+ recommend users to use <ulink url="../../seam/html_single/index.html">JBoss Seam</ulink> to
+ simplify development, but until then you can read about classical Struts usage here.</para>
+
+ <para>We are going to show you how to create a simple <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Struts application</property>
+ </emphasis> using the JBoss Tools. The completed application will ask a user to enter
+ a name and click a button. The resulting new page will display the familiar message,
+ "Hello <name>!"</para>
+ <para>This document will show you how to create such an application from the beginning, along the
+ way demonstrating some of the powerful features of JBoss Tools. With the help of our tutorial you will design the
+ application, generate stub code for the application, fill in the stub coding, compile the
+ application, and finally run it all from inside the Eclipse.</para>

+
+ <para>JBoss Developer Studio makes using the <property moreinfo="none">Validation Framework</property> in Struts even easier with the help of a specialized editor for the XML files that controls validation in a project.

+ <title>What is Seam?</title>
+ <para>This introduction will help you to understand what is <property moreinfo="none">Seam</property>.</para>
+ <para><property moreinfo="none">Seam</property> is a fully featured application framework on top of Java EE
+ 5. It is also one of the most popular enterprise Java framework today. Seam deeply
+ integrates many other standard-based or open source frameworks (e.g., JSF, EJB3, JMS,
+ Web Services, jBPM, JBoss Rules, Ajax4jsf, RichFaces, Facelets, Spring, iText, Quartz,
+ TestNG, etc.), and provides a single programming model for developers to
+ "drive" those underlying frameworks via simple annotated POJOs (Plain
+ Old Java Objects). It makes life easier for developers to tackle complex enterprise
+ applications with many component frameworks.</para>

+
+ <section>
+ <title>Installation into Eclipse</title>
+
+ <para>Here, we are going to explain how to install Seam plugin into Eclipse.</para>
+
+ <para>Seam is a one module of JBoss Tools project. Since Seam has a dependence on other JBoss Tools modules we recommend you to install
+ a bundle of all <ulink url="http://labs.jboss.com/tools/download/index.html">JBoss Tools plug-ins</ulink>. Installation instruction you can find on JBoss Wiki in <ulink url="http://labs.jboss.com/wiki/InstallingJBossTools">InstallingJBossTools</ulink> section.</para>

+ <title>Create standalone Seam Web Project</title>
+ <para>The best way to get started with Seam is to organise a simple Seam Project and

+ <para>Thus, you should select <emphasis>

+ <para>Seam Web Project wizard has an option for selecting the actual Server (not just WTP
+ runtime) that will be used for the project. This allows the wizard to identify correctly
+ where the required datasource and driver libraries need to go.</para>
+ <para>Let's get through the wizard step-by-step. First, you should enter a name and

+
+
+ <para>The first two tabs of the window let you define actual runtime folders.
+ The example below will help you understand how this can be done.</para>
+
+ <para>Suppose you have the following project structure:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[WebContent/
+ pages/
+ img/
+ a.gif
+ header.jsp
+ main.jsp
+ ]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>The content of the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">header.jsp</property>
+ </emphasis> is:</para>
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[My Header
+<img src="img/a.gif"/>
+]]></programlisting>
+ <para>and <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">main.jsp</property>
+ </emphasis> content is:</para>
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<jsp:include page="pages/header.jsp" />
+]]></programlisting>
+ <para> When you open <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">main.jsp</property>
+ </emphasis> in <property moreinfo="none">Visual Page Editor</property>, it will not be able
+ to resolve the image from the header, however, it will work fine in runtime.
+ To fix this in design time, click the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Page Design Options</property>
+ </emphasis> button and set <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Actual Run-Time Relative Folder</property>
+ </emphasis> to <emphasis>'projectName > WebContent >
+ pages'</emphasis> and you will see the image appeared.</para>
+ <para></para>
+
+ <para>Let' consider an example for other tabs. For instance, the
+ definition of your CSS on the page is the next:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
+ href="#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/style.css"/>
+]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>This will work fine in runtime, but the <property moreinfo="none">Visual Page
+ Editor</property> doesn't know what
+ <emphasis>requestContextPath</emphasis> in design time is. In order to
+ see the necessary styles applied in design time your should add a path to
+ your stylesheet in the <property moreinfo="none">CSS File Path</property> section.</para>
+
+ <para>The next <property moreinfo="none">URI</property> section lets you add URI taglibs so that
+ the editor knows where to find the tag libraries.</para>
+
+ <para>And the last <property moreinfo="none">Substituted EL expressions</property> section is
+ provided to specify the values for specific EL variables. It can be useful
+ for a preview generation.</para>
+ <para>As an example look at the figure below:</para>
+ <figure float="0">

+ application will ask a user to enter a name and click a button. The resulting new page

+ <title>Actions : The JBoss jBPM Integration Mechanism</title>
+
+ <para> In this chapter we will show how to do software integration with <property moreinfo="none">JBoss
+ jBPM</property>. The standard mechanism to implement this is to wrap the functionality you
+ want to integrate in a class that implements the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">ActionHandler</property>
+ </emphasis> interface. In order to demonstrate it let's specify Hello World action for our
+ process.</para>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Creating a Hello World Action</title>
+
+ <para>Each Hello World process should integrate one or more Hello World actions, so this is
+ what we will be doing. We can integrate custom code at different points in the process
+ definition. To do this we have to specify an action handler, represented by an
+ implementation of the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">ActionHandler</property>
+ </emphasis> interface, and attach this piece of code to a particular event. These events
+ are amongst others, going over a transition, leaving or entering nodes, after and before
+ signalling. </para>
+
+ <para> To make things a little bit more concrete, let's create a new class called <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">HelloActionHandler</property>.
+ </emphasis> For that firstly we'll create a new package <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">com.jbay.action</property>
+ </emphasis> in the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">src/java/main</property>
+ </emphasis> folder of our project. Then, we should call New Class Creation wizard as
+ usual by right-clicking and navigating <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">New > Class</property>.
+ </emphasis> </para>
+
+ <figure float="0">
+ <title>Creating HelloActionHendler Class</title>

+ </figure>
+
+ <para>Notice that two first gaps have been filled automatically. Here, instead of <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Package</property>
+ </emphasis> option <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Enclose type</property>
+ </emphasis> option can be selected where a type in which to enclose a new class should
+ be specified.</para>
+
+ <para>In our case, we leave everything as it is, just type <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">HelloActionHandler</property>
+ </emphasis> as a name of new class and add <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">org.jbpm.graph.ActionHendler</property>
+ </emphasis> interface as it's shown in the picture above.</para>
+
+ <para>Thus, our <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">HelloActionHandler</property>
+ </emphasis> implements the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">ActionHandler</property>
+ </emphasis> interface including the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">execute</property>
+ </emphasis> method as shown in the next figure. Here, we add a variable named <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">greeting</property>
+ </emphasis> to the collection of process variables and put a message in it :
+ <emphasis>"Hello from ActionHandler"</emphasis>. </para>

+
+ <section>
+ <title>Integrating the Hello World Action</title>
+
+ <para>The main purpose of this chapter is to provide you with the steps associating our
+ Hello World action with a particular event and test the correctness of our actions as
+ well.</para>
+
+ <para> As good Testcity citizens we will first create a Unit Test that proves the behaviour
+ we want to achieve by adding the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">ActionHandler</property>
+ </emphasis> to the process. So we implement another test.</para>
+
+ <para>At first, let's return to the
+ code we already saw <link linkend="hello_test">in the previous chapter</link> and add new test method <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">testActionHendler</property></emphasis> to it. </para>
+
+ <figure float="0">

+ </figure>
+
+ <para>We assert
+ that no variable called <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">greeting</property>
+ </emphasis> exist. Then we give the process a signal to move it to the auction state. We
+ want to associate the execution of the action with the event of going over the
+ transition from the start state to the auction state. So after the signal, the process
+ should be in the auction state as in the previous scenario. But moreover, the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">greeting</property>
+ </emphasis> variable should exist and contain the string <emphasis>"Hello from
+ ActionHandler"</emphasis>. That's what we assert in the last lines of the test
+ method.</para>
+
+
+
+ <para> Running the tests now results in a failure. The point is that we did not associate
+ the action with any particular event in the process definition, so the process variable
+ did not get set. </para>

+
+ <para>When using the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><jdbcconfiguration></property>, </emphasis> the ant task will read the
+ database metadata and thus will perform a reverse engineering of the database schema into a
+ normal Hibernate Configuration. It is from this object e.g. <emphasis>

+ <property moreinfo="none">.java</property>
+ </emphasis>, <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">.hbm.xml</property>
+ </emphasis> etc.</para>
+
+ <para>To govern this process <property moreinfo="none">Hibernate</property> uses a reverse engineering strategy. A
+ reverse engineering strategy is mainly called to provide more java like names for tables, column
+ and foreignkeys into classes, properties and associations. It also used to provide mappings from
+ SQL types to <property moreinfo="none">Hibernate</property> types. The strategy can be customized by a user. The
+ user can even provide its own custom reverse engineering strategy if the provided strategy is
+ not enough, or simply just provide a small part of the strategy and delegate the rest to the
+ default strategy.</para>
+
+ <para>Thus, further in this chapter we will discuss how you can configure the process of a reverse
+ engineering, what default reverse engineering strategy includes as well as some custom concepts.</para>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Default reverse engineering strategy</title>
+
+ <para>The default strategy uses some rules for mapping JDBC artifact names to java artifact
+ names. It also provide basic typemappings from JDBC types to <property moreinfo="none">Hibernate</property>
+ types. It is the default strategy that uses the packagename attribute to convert a table name

+ <para>Attributes declared via the <emphasis>

+ </emphasis> inside an <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">hbm.xml</property>
+ </emphasis> file.</para>
+
+ <para>What does that mean? It means that if you e.g want to have all your classes implement
+ <literal moreinfo="none">IAuditable</literal> then you just add an <emphasis> <meta
+ attribute="implements">IAuditable</meta></emphasis> in the top of the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">hbm.xml</property>
+ </emphasis> file, just after <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><hibernate-mapping></property>. </emphasis> Now all classes defined
+ in that <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">hbm.xml</property>
+ </emphasis> file will implement <literal moreinfo="none">IAuditable</literal>!</para>
+
+ <note>
+ <title>Note:</title>
+ <para>This applies to <emphasis>all</emphasis>
+ <literal moreinfo="none"><meta></literal>-tags. Thus it can also e.g. be used to specify that
+ all fields should be declare protected, instead of the default private. This is done by
+ adding <literal moreinfo="none"><meta
+ attribute="scope-field">protected</meta></literal> at e.g. just under
+ the <literal moreinfo="none"><class></literal> tag and all fields of that class will be
+ protected.</para>
+ </note>
+
+ <para>To avoid having a <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><meta></property>
+ </emphasis> tag inherited then you can simply specify <emphasis> inherit = "false"</emphasis>
+ for the attribute, e.g. <emphasis> <meta attribute = "scope-class" inherit =
+ "false">public abstract</meta></emphasis> will restrict the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">"class-scope"</property>
+ </emphasis> to the current class, not the subclasses.</para>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Recommendations</title>
+
+ <para>The following are some good practices when using <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><meta></property>
+ </emphasis> attributes.</para>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Dangers of a class level <literal moreinfo="none">use-in-string and use-in-equals</literal> meta
+ attributes when having bi-directional associations</title>
+
+ <para>If we have two entities with a bi-directional association between them and define at
+ class scope level the meta attributes: <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">use-in-string</property>, </emphasis>
+ <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">use-in-equals</property>: </emphasis></para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
+ <class name="Person">
+ <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
+ <meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
+ ...
+ </class>
+</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>And for <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Event.hbm</property>
+ </emphasis> file:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
+ <class name="events.Event" table="EVENTS">
+ <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
+ <meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
+ <id name="id" column="EVENT_ID">
+ <generator class="native"/>
+ </id>
+ <property name="date" type="timestamp" column="EVENT_DATE"/>
+ <property name="title"/>
+ <set name="participants" table="PERSON_EVENT" inverse="true">
+ <key column="EVENT_ID"/>
+ <many-to-many column="PERSON_ID" class="events.Person"/>
+ </set>
+ </class>
+</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>Then <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><hbm2java></property>
+ </emphasis> will assume you want to include all properties and collections in the
+ <property moreinfo="none">toString()/equals()</property> methods and this can result in infinite
+ recursive calls.</para>
+
+ <para>To remedy this you have to decide which side of the association will include the other
+ part (if at all) in the <property moreinfo="none">toString()/equals()</property> methods. Therefore it is
+ not a good practice to put at class scope such <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">meta</property>
+ </emphasis> attributes, unless you are defining a class without bi-directional
+ associations.</para>
+
+ <para>We recomend instead to add the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">meta</property>
+ </emphasis> attributes at the property level:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
+ <class name="events.Event" table="EVENTS">
+ <id name="id" column="EVENT_ID">
+ <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
+ <generator class="native"/>
+ </id>
+ <property name="date" type="timestamp" column="EVENT_DATE"/>
+ <property name="title">
+ <meta attribute="use-in-tostring">true</meta>
+ <meta attribute="use-in-equals">true</meta>
+ </property>
+ <set name="participants" table="PERSON_EVENT" inverse="true">
+ <key column="EVENT_ID"/>
+ <many-to-many column="PERSON_ID" class="events.Person"/>
+ </set>
+ </class>
+</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>and now for <property moreinfo="none">Person</property>:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
+ <class name="Person">
+ <meta attribute="class-description">
+ Javadoc for the Person class

+
+ <section>
+ <title>Be aware of putting at class scope level <literal moreinfo="none"><meta></literal>
+ attribute <literal moreinfo="none">use-in-equals</literal></title>
+
+ <para>For <property moreinfo="none">equal()/hashCode()</property> method generation, you have to take into
+ account that the attributes that participate on such method definition, should take into
+ account only attributes with business meaning (the name, social security number, etc, but
+ no generated id's, for example).</para>
+
+ <para>This is important because Java's hashbased collections, such as
+ <property moreinfo="none">java.util.Set</property> relies on <property moreinfo="none">equals()</property> and
+ <property moreinfo="none">hashcode()</property> to be correct and not change for objects in the set;
+ this can be a problem if the id gets assigned for an object after you inserted it into a
+ set.</para>
+
+ <para>Therefore automatically configuration of the generation of
+ <property moreinfo="none">equals()/hashCode()</property> methods specifying at class scope level the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><meta></property>
+ </emphasis> attribute <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">use-in-equals</property>
+ </emphasis> could be a dangerous decision that could produce non expected
+ side-effect.</para>
+
+ <para><ulink url="http://www.hibernate.org/109.html">Here</ulink> you can get more in-depth
+ explanation on the subject of <property moreinfo="none">equals()</property> and

+
+ <section>
+ <title>Advanced <meta> attribute examples</title>
+
+ <para>This section shows an example for using meta attributes (including userspecific
+ attributes) together with the code generation features in <property moreinfo="none">Hibernate
+ Tools</property>.</para>
+
+ <para>The usecase being implemented is to automatically insert some pre- and post-conditions
+ into the getter and setters of the generated POJO. </para>
+
+ <section>
+ <title>Generate pre/post-conditions for methods</title>
+
+ <para>With a <emphasis> <meta attribute="class-code"></emphasis>, you can add
+ additional methods on a given class, nevertheless such <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><meta></property>
+ </emphasis> attribute can not be used at a property scope level and <property moreinfo="none">Hibernate
+ Tools</property> does not provide such <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><meta></property>
+ </emphasis> attributes.</para>
+
+ <para>A possible solution for this is to modify the freemarker templates responsible for
+ generating the POJO's. If you look inside <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">hibernate-tools.jar</property>, </emphasis> you can find the template: <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">pojo/PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl</property>
+ </emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>This file is as the name indicates used to generate property accessors for
+ pojo's.</para>
+
+ <para>Extract the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl</property>
+ </emphasis> into a local folder i.e. <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">${hbm.template.path}</property>, </emphasis> respecting the whole path, for
+ example: <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">${hbm.template.path}/pojo/PojoPropertyAccessor.ftl</property>
+ </emphasis></para>
+
+ <para>The contents of the file is something like this:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<#foreach property in pojo.getAllPropertiesIterator()>
+ ${pojo.getPropertyGetModifiers(property)}
+ ${pojo.getJavaTypeName(property, jdk5)}
+ ${pojo.getGetterSignature(property)}() {
+ return this.${property.name};
+ }
+
+ ${pojo.getPropertySetModifiers(property)} void set${pojo.getPropertyName(property)}
+ (${pojo.getJavaTypeName(property, jdk5)} ${property.name})
+ {
+ this.${property.name} = ${property.name};
+ }
+</#foreach>]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>We can add conditionally pre/post-conditions on our <literal moreinfo="none">set</literal> method
+ generation just adding a little Freemarker syntax to the above source code:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<#foreach property in pojo.getAllPropertiesIterator()>
+ ${pojo.getPropertyGetModifiers(property)}
+ ${pojo.getJavaTypeName(property, jdk5)}
+ ${pojo.getGetterSignature(property)}()
+ {

+ }
+
+ ${pojo.getPropertySetModifiers(property)} void set${pojo.getPropertyName(property)}
+ (${pojo.getJavaTypeName(property, jdk5)} ${property.name})
+ {
+ <#if pojo.hasMetaAttribute(property, "pre-cond")>
+ ${c2j.getMetaAsString(property, "pre-cond","\n")}
+ </#if>
+ this.${property.name} = ${property.name};
+ <#if pojo.hasMetaAttribute(property, "post-cond")>
+ ${c2j.getMetaAsString(property, "post-cond","\n")}
+ </#if>
+}
+</#foreach>]]>
+</programlisting>
+
+ <para>Now if in any <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">.hbm.xml</property>
+ </emphasis> file we define the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><meta></property>
+ </emphasis> attributes: <literal moreinfo="none">pre-cond</literal> or <literal moreinfo="none">post-cond</literal>, their
+ contents will be generated into the body of the relevant <literal moreinfo="none">set</literal>
+ method.</para>
+
+ <para>As an example let us add a pre-condition for property <literal moreinfo="none">name</literal>
+ preventing no <property moreinfo="none">Person</property> can have an empty name. Hence we have to modify
+ the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Person.hbm.xml</property>
+ </emphasis> file like this:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[<hibernate-mapping>
+ <class name="Person">
+ <id name="id" type="long">
+ <generator class="increment"/>
+ </id>
+ <property name="firstName" type="string">
+ <meta attribute="pre-cond">
+ if ((firstName != null) && (firstName.length() == 0) ) {
+ throw new IllegalArgumentException("firstName can not be an empty String");
+ }
+ </meta>
+ </property>
+</class>
+</hibernate-mapping>]]></programlisting>
+
+ <note>
+ <title>Note:</title>
+ <para>I) To escape the & symbol we put &amp;. You can use
+ <![CDATA[]]> instead.</para>
+ <para>II) Note that we are referring to "firstName" directly and this is the parameter
+ name not the actual field name. If you want to refer the field you have to use
+ "this.firstName" instead. </para>
+ </note>
+
+ <para>Finally we have to generate the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Person.java</property>
+ </emphasis> class, for this we can use both Eclipse and Ant as long as you remember to set
+ or fill in the templatepath setting. For Ant we configure <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><hibernatetool></property>
+ </emphasis> task via <literal moreinfo="none">the templatepath</literal> attribute as in:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="XML"><![CDATA[
+ <target name="hbm2java">
+ <taskdef name="hibernatetool"
+ classname="org.hibernate.tool.ant.HibernateToolTask"

+ <include name="**/*.hbm.xml"/>
+ </fileset>
+ </configuration>
+ <hbm2java/>
+ </hibernatetool>
+ </target>]]></programlisting>
+
+ <para>Invoking the target <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none"><hbm2java></property>
+ </emphasis> will generate on the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">${hbm2java.dest.dir}</property>
+ </emphasis> the file <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">Person.java</property>
+ </emphasis>:</para>
+
+ <programlisting format="linespecific" role="JAVA"><![CDATA[// default package

+ <title>What is JBDS?</title>
+ <para><property moreinfo="none">JBoss Developer Studio</property> is a set of eclipse-based development tools that

+ Developers are not required to use <property moreinfo="none">JBoss Developer Studio</property> to develop on
+ JBoss Enterprise Middleware and/or Red Hat Linux. But, many find these pre-configured tools offer
+ significant time-savings and value, making them more productive and speeding time to deployment.</para>
+ <para>This guide covers the first steps to get started working with <property moreinfo="none">JBoss Developer
+ Studio</property>. You will learn how to install and configure necessary software for your OS
+ (currently Linux, Microsoft Windows or Mac OSX).</para>
+ <para>Thus this guide will provide you with detailed info on how to start JDK, JBDS and JBoss
+ Tools.</para>

+ <title>Configuring Your Java Environment</title>
+ <para>You must have a working installation of JDK 5 before you install <property moreinfo="none">JBoss Developer
+ Studio</property>. Currently it will only fully work with a 32-bit JVM, not a 64-bit JVM. On a
+ 64-bit JVM the visual editor fails to launch because of feature of OS architecture. Thus in this
+ guide we will show you how to install a 32-bit Sun JDK 5.0 on a Linux Platform and Microsoft
+ Windows Platform.</para>
+
+ <section id="InstallJDK50onLinux">
+ <title>Installing and Configuring 32-bit Sun JDK 5.0 on Linux</title>
+ <para>To install 32-bit Sun JDK 5.0 on Linux and configure it, you should follow the next steps:</para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Download the <ulink url="http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp">Sun JDK 5.0
+ (Java 2 Development Kit)</ulink> from Sun's website. Choose "JDK 5.0 Update
+ <x>" (where "x" is the latest update number) for
+ download and then select "Red Hat Package Manager in self-extracting" file
+ for Linux. Read the instructions on Sun's website for installing the JDK.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>If you don't want to use SysV service scripts you can install the
+ "self-extracting file" for Linux instead of choosing the "RPM in
+ self-extracting" file. In that case you can skip the next step mentioned here. But it
+ is recommended to use the SysV service scripts for production servers.</para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>Download and install the appropriate -compat RPM from JPackage <ulink url="ftp://jpackage.hmdc.harvard.edu/JPackage/1.7/generic/RPMS.non-free/">here</ulink>.

+ installed.</para>

+ <para>Create an environment variable that points to the JDK installation directory and call it
+ JAVA_HOME. Add <emphasis>

+
+ <para>If you have JDK already installed and added in your system path, you should add

+ JBoss Developer Studio.</para>
+
+ <para>It seems like it's not much for project but this shell application contains a login
+ screen with default login logic, a menu template that can be further modified, and other
+ layout templates.</para>
+
+ <para>It's important to note that the business logic will reside in the <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">src/hot</property>
+ </emphasis> folder, by default. And, the package naming conventions that were used in <property moreinfo="none">New Seam
+ project wizard</property> could have been changed to something different from <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">org.domain.workshop.session</property>.
+ </emphasis> Also, notice that there is a default <property moreinfo="none">Authenticator. java</property>
+ file. This is where custom security logic can be added. Seam has a nice declarative security
+ model that we will explore in a bit more detail later on. The <emphasis>
+ <property moreinfo="none">src/main</property>

+
+ <para>The view tier of the
+ application is also important. Seam uses facelets and there is a built-in facelets GUI
+ editor that has some nice WYSIWYG and component drag/drop functionality. Try this out by

+
+ <para>The project already has a datasource that was created per the Seam project wizard
+ database settings. And, obviously all of the Seam specific configuration files and JAR
+ dependencies are included and placed in the proper locations. On last noteworthy line item
+ is related to the build script. There isn’t a build script because the Eclipse WTP(Web Tools
+ Project) plugin is used to publish web application changes. As you can see, JBoss Developer
+ Studio is removing a great deal of complexity from the enterprise Java project
