Java EE 8 Community Survey

Should Java EE provide support for MVC alongside JSF?

Is there any one de-‐facto standard technology in this space to which we should look for inspiration?

Community-‐Prioritized Features

What is MVC?• Pattern used to implement a User Interface • Consists of 3 major components

–Model – View – Controller

• Each of the components has a distinct responsibility

11


The M(odel)• Interim state you want to keep when you are building an UI • Examples

–Who is logged in –What are they trying to buy –What page are they on in a multi page flow

12


The V(iew)• What your user interacts with

– In a web application that would be the web page or web pages • your JSP page • your CSS styles • your JavaScript

– In a thick client scenario it would be the entire UI – In an embedded scenario it could be the touch screen, hardware buttons etc.

13


The C(ontroller)• Work horse of the pattern:

– Executes the business logic • Run a credit card transaction

– Updates the model • Mark the transaction as successful in the model object

– Ask the view to render itself • Shows the transaction was successful

14


Different styles of MVC• Component-‐based MVC • Action-‐based MVC • Others

15


Component-‐based MVC• A specific style of MVC made popular by component frameworks • Controller provided by the framework • Examples

– JavaServer Faces –Wicket – Tapestry – Seam (discontinued) – Apache Click (retired)

16


Action-‐based MVC• Controller(s) defined by the application • Examples

– Struts 1 (end of life), Struts 2 – Spring MVC

• No standard Java EE implementation – Good news we are creating one! – Targeted for inclusion in Java EE 8

17


Action-‐based MVC

–Manual request parameter processing – No view kept around – Request centric – Developer responsible for all HTML / JS – Limited support for re-‐usable behavior – No automatic input conversion – No automatic input validation

Component-‐based MVC

– Automatic request parameter processing – View kept around – Page centric – Components handle HTML / JS – Component implement re-‐usable behavior – Automatic input conversion – Automatic input validation

Model-‐View-‐Controller (MVC 1.0) Specification

• “Action-‐based” MVC 1.0 JSR • Why?

– UI landscape is not one size fits all – Java EE 8 Community Survey – Talking to our customers, etc.

• EG formed –Oracle, RedHat, innoQ, IBM, Caelum, LifeRay, and 6 individuals members

• You can contribute too!

Model-‐View-‐Controller (MVC 1.0) Specification

MVC 1.0

• Action-‐based MVC • Glues together key Java EE technologies

–Model : CDI, Bean Validation, JPA – View : Facelets, JSP, more? – Controller : Invent new technology Vs. Leverage existing technologies

22

Principles


Controller• Combine data models and views to produce web application pages

@Path("hello") public class HelloController {

@GET@Controllerpublic String hello() {

return "hello.jsp";}

}

23


Controller• Class/method decorated with @Controller

@Path(“hello") @Controller public class HelloController {

@GET@View(“hello.jsp")public void hello() { }

}

24


Controller

@Path(“hello") @Controller public class HelloController {

@GETpublic Viewable hello() {

return new Viewable("hello.jsp"); } }

25


Controller

… @GET @Controller public Response getById(@PathParam("id") String id) { if (id.length() == 0) { return Response.status(Response.Status.BAD_REQUEST) .entity(“error.jsp") .build(); } }

26


Model• “Refers to the data” • 2 types

– javax.mvc.Models interface – CDI @Named bean (recommended)

27


Model @Named(“greeting”) @RequestScoped public class Greeting {

private String message;

public String getMessage() { return message;

} public void setMessage(String message) { this.message = message; }}

28


Model

@Path(“hello”) public class HelloController {

@Inject private Models models;

@GET @Controller public String hello() { models.set(“greeting”, new Greeting(“Hi JavaLand”)); return “hello.jsp”; } }

29


View• Define the structure of the output • Can refer to model(s) • Rendered by a View Engine

– JSP – Facelets

• Not accessible as static resources – /WEB-‐INF/views/

30


View

<%@ page contentType=“text/html;charset=UTF-8” language=“java” %> <html> <head> <title>Hello</title> </head> <body> <p>Hello ${user.name}</p> </body> </html>

31


View Engine• CDI based extension mechanism • javax.mvc.engine.ViewEngine interface

boolean supports(String view);

void processView(ViewEngineContext context)

throws ViewEngineException;

• Ozark – JSP & Facelets – FreeMarker, Velocity, Thymeleaf, Mustache & Handlebars

32


Miscellaneous• Bootstrap

– javax.ws.rs.core.Application

• Validation • Exception Mapping Providers • @Produces • CDI Events • Tooling

Conclusion• Doing MVC now is not a bad idea, because we are:

– Leveraging CDI, JAX-‐RS, Facelets, BV –More? Servlet 4.0’s ServerPush – Delivering an easy migration path if you are using JSPs

• Offers more choices • New annotations

–@Controller –@View

36


Java EE 8

• Java EE 8 Platform (JSR 366) • CDI 2.0 (JSR 365) • JSON Binding 1.0 (JSR 367) • JMS 2.1 (JSR 368) • Java Servlet 4.0 (JSR 369) • JAX-‐RS 2.1 (JSR 370)

• MVC 1.0 (JSR 371) • JSF 2.3 (JSR 372) • Java EE Management 2.0 (JSR 373) • JSON-‐P 1.1 (JSR 374) • Java EE Security 1.0 (JSR 375)

So far…..

37


Roadmap• Q3 2014 Expert Group formed • Q1 2015 Early Draft • Q3 2015 Public Review • Q1 2016 Proposed Final Draft • Q3 2016 Final Release
