Today I will try to create an asy servlet to run at my server. To encapsulate buisness logic (how my fields and variables will interact with each other) I will use CDI beans. We will (use EJB to) manually control transactions and JSF to display view.
Our program is to manage cats in cat shelter where we should add the cat if we found one, delete one from the list if it found it's house and to see the full list of cats in the shelter if somebody wants to choose one.
Every cat is going to be entity for us and this entity we want to store in the relational database and to map entity there we're using JPA. It is the popular API for the management of persistence and object/relationalmapping with Java EE, we will stay with it.
Before we started, here is working code you can download and try. If you have any problems feel free to ask in comments.
Let's see what we need in pom.xml (which we place in the root directory of our project):

To include CDI and JSF to our project we need to add empty bean beans.xml to directory %PROJECT%/src/main/webapp to make wildfly look for beans in this application and accept the CDI.
1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2: <beans
3: xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
4: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
5: xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
6: http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_1.xsd"
7: bean-discovery-mode="all">
8: </beans> Also we have faces-config.xml in the same place, we use a standardized version JSF-2.0, that's why we leave default configurations.
1: <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
2: <faces-config version="2.2" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"
3: xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
4: xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee
5: http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee/web-facesconfig_2_2.xsd">
6: </faces-config> What is very nice - we can add all the default configurations of beans.xml and faces-config.xml by one click if we use Intellij IDE? which I really like.
Same folder we will add web.xml where we configure start page where we will display the information.
1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2: <web-app version="3.1"
3: xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee"

23: </web-app> Each cat will be an Entity, for it we create an Entity class in %PROGECT%/main/java/org/jboss/cats/domain
1: package org.jboss.cats.domain;
2: import javax.persistence.Column;
3: import javax.persistence.Entity;
4: import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
5: import javax.persistence.Id;
6: import javax.persistence.Table;
7: /**
8: * Created by Anna Leonenko on 30/10/2016.
9: */
10: @Entity
11: @Table(name = "Users")
12: public class Cat {
13: @Id
14: @GeneratedValue
15: private Long id;
16: @Column(unique = true)
17: private String name;
18: private String color;
19: private int age;
20: private String fluffy;
21: public String isFluffy() {
22: return fluffy;
23: }
24: public int getAge() {
25: return age;
26: }
27: public Long getId() {
28: return id;
29: }
30: public String getColor() {
31: return color;
32: }
33: public String getName() {
34: return name;
35: }
36: public void setAge(int age) {
37: this.age = age;
38: }
39: public void setColor(String color) {
40: this.color = color;
41: }
42: public void setFluffy(String fluffy) {
43: this.fluffy = fluffy;
44: }
45: public void setName(String name) {
46: this.name = name;
47: }
48: } Then we create a class to manage our datasource (let's use ExampleDS database for now).
First declare the interface at %PROGECT%/main/java/org/jboss/cats/domain:
1: package org.jboss.cats.domain;
2: public interface CatDao {
3: Cat getForName(String name);
4: void addCat(Cat cat);
5: } Then, implement it in same folder:
1: package org.jboss.cats.domain;
2: import javax.inject.Inject;
3: import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
4: import javax.transaction.SystemException;
5: import javax.transaction.UserTransaction;
6: public class ManagedBeanCatDao implements CatDao {
7: @Inject
8: private EntityManager entityManager;
9: @Inject
10: UserTransaction utx;
11: @Override
12: public Cat getForName(String name) {
13: return null;
14: }
15: public void addCat (Cat cat) {
16: try {
17: try {
18: utx.begin();
19: entityManager.persist(cat);
20: } finally {
21: utx.commit();
22: }
23: } catch (Exception e) {
24: try {
25: utx.rollback();
26: } catch (SystemException se) {
27: throw new RuntimeException(se);
28: }
29: throw new RuntimeException(e);
30: }
31: }
32: }
For the begining it's enough for us to implement just one of the methods, then we will add more specific code.
To declare Entity manager we create class Resources in %PROGECT%/main/java/org/jboss/cats/:
1: package org.jboss.cats;
2:
3: import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped;
4: import javax.enterprise.inject.Produces;
5: import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
6: import javax.persistence.EntityManager;
7: import javax.persistence.PersistenceContext;
8:
9: public class Resources {
10: @PersistenceContext
11: @Produces
12: private EntityManager em;
13:
14:
15: @Produces
16: @RequestScoped
17: public FacesContext getFacesContext() {
18: return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
19: }
20: }
21: In %PROGECT%/main/resources/META-INF we create persistence.xml to include datasource:
1: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
2:
3: <persistence version="2.1"
4: xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
5: xsi:schemaLocation="
6: http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence
7: http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
8: <persistence-unit name="primary">
9: <!-- If you are running in a production environment, add a managed
10: data source, this example data source is just for development and testing! -->
11: <!-- The datasource is deployed as WEB-INF/greeter-quickstart-ds.xml,
12: you can find it in the source at src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/greeter-quickstart-ds.xml -->
13: <jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS</jta-data-source>
14: <properties>
15: <!-- Properties for Hibernate -->
16: <property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" value="create-drop" />
17: <property name="hibernate.show_sql" value="false" />
18: </properties>
19: </persistence-unit>
20: </persistence> Almost all is done, now we need to add a page controller which will generate dynamic content of the page. Put it in the folder %PROGECT%/main/java/org/jboss/cats/web:
1: package org.jboss.cats.web;
2:
3: import org.jboss.cats.domain.Cat;
4: import org.jboss.cats.domain.CatDao;
5:
6: import javax.enterprise.context.RequestScoped;
7: import javax.enterprise.inject.Produces;
8: import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
9: import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
10: import javax.inject.Inject;
11: import javax.inject.Named;
12:
13: @Named
14: @RequestScoped
15: public class AddController {
16:
17: @Inject
18: private FacesContext facesContext;
19:
20: @Inject
21: private CatDao catDao;
22:
23: @Named
24: @Produces
25: @RequestScoped
26: private Cat newCat = new Cat();
27:
28: public void add() {
29: try {
30: catDao.addCat(newCat);
31: String message = "A new user with id " + newCat.getId() + " has been created successfully";
32: facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(message));
33: } catch (Exception e) {
34: String message = "An error has occured while creating the user (see log for details)";
35: facesContext.addMessage(null, new FacesMessage(message));
36: }
37: }
38: } And we are done with the backend of our application. The frontend is going to be very simple. In
%PROJECT%/src/main/webapp folder we create template.xhtml (we need it for future when we add more pages) and main.xhtml to show our output form:
template.xhtml:

Let's deploy our application to WildFly server.
Open command prompt and go to the project's root directory. There type:
mvn package wildfly:deploy
The result we can see at the adress: http://localhost:8081/catshelter-java/main.xhtml
Here is working code you can download and try. If you have any problems feel free to ask in comments.
See you here next time to implement ManagingBean and to add more functionality to our cat's shelter application!
