Agenda

• Introduction• Ease of Use Improvements• New Functionality

5

EJB 3.1 Specification

• Goals– Continued focus on ease-of-use– New features

• JSR (Java Specification Request) 318– Expert Group Formed – August 2007– Public Draft – October 2008– Proposed Final Draft – March 2009– Final Specification – December 2009

6

Ease of Use Improvements

• Optional Local Business Interfaces• Simplified Packaging• EJB 3.1 “Lite” API• Portable Global JNDI Names• Simple Component Testing

7

Session BeanWith “No-interface” View

@Statelesspublic class HelloBean {

public String sayHello(String msg) { return “Hello “ + msg; }}

8

No-interface View Client

@EJB HelloBean h;

...

h.sayHello(“bob”);

11

EJB 3.1 “Lite”

12

Portable EJB JNDI Names

Each session bean gets the following entries :

• Globally unique namejava:global[/<app-name>]/<module-name>/<ejb-name>

• Unique name within same application java:app/<module-name>/<ejb-name>

• Unique name within defining modulejava:module/<ejb-name>

13

Session Bean

@Stateless

public class HelloBean implements Hello {

public String sayHello(String msg) {

return “Hello “ + msg;

}

}

If deployed as hello.jar, JNDI entries are:

java:global/hello/HelloBeanjava:app/hello/HelloBeanjava:module/HelloBean

14

Simple Testing : Session Bean

@Stateless

@Local(Bank.class)

public class BankBean implements Bank {

@PersistenceContext EntityManager accountDB;

public String createAccount(AcctDetails d)

{ … }

public void removeAccount(String acctID)

{ … }

15

Embeddable API

public class BankTester {

public static void main(String[] args) {

EJBContainer container =

EJBContainer.createEJBContainer();

// Acquire Local EJB reference

Bank bank = (Bank) container.getContext().

lookup(“java:global/bank/BankBean”);

testAccountCreation(bank);

container.close();

16

Test Client Execution

% java -classpath bankClient.jar :

bank.jar :

javaee.jar :

<vendor_rt>.jar

com.acme.BankTester

17

New Features

• Singletons• Startup / Shutdown callbacks• Automatic timer creation

– Cron-like syntax

• Asynchronous session bean invocations

18

Singleton

@Singleton

public class SharedBean {

private SharedData shared;

@PostConstruct

private void init() {

shared = ...;

}

public int getXYZ() {

return shared.xyz;

}

19

Singleton Concurrency Options

• Single threaded (default)– For consistency with all existing bean types

• Container Managed Concurrency– Control access via method-level locking metadata

• Bean Managed Concurrency – All concurrent invocations have access to bean instance

20

Startup / Shutdown Callbacks

@Singleton

@Startup

public class StartupBean {

@PostConstruct

private void onStartup() { … }

@PreDestroy

private void onShutdown() { … }

}

21

Timers

• Automatically created EJB Timers• Calendar-based Timers – cron like semantics

– Every 14th minute within the hour, for the hours 1 and 2 am(minute=”*/14”, hour=”1,2”)

– Every 10 seconds starting at 30(second=”30/10”)

– Every 5 minutes of every hour(minute=”*/5”, hour=”*”)

– 2pm on Last Thur of Nov of every year(hour=”14”, dayOfMonth=”Last Thu”, month=”Nov”)

– Every Mon & Wed midnight @Schedule(dayOfWeek=”Mon,Wed”)

22

Automatic Timer Creation

@Stateless

public class BankBean {

@PersistenceContext EntityManager accountDB;

@Resource javax.mail.Session mailSession;

// Callback the last day of each month at 8 a.m.

@Schedule(hour=”8”, dayOfMonth=”Last”)

void sendMonthlyBankStatements() {

...

}

}

23

Asynchronous Session Beans

• Control returns to the client before the container dispatches invocation to a bean instance

• @Asynchronous – method or class• Return type – void or Future<V>• “Fire and and Forget” or async results via

Future<V>• Best effort delivery – persistent delivery

guarantees are not required by spec• Transaction context does not propagate

– REQUIRED → REQUIRED_NEW

• Security principal propagates

24

Asynchronous Session BeansCode Sample

@Stateless@Asynchronouspublic class SimpleAsyncEJB { public Future<Integer> addNumbers(int n1, int n2) { Integer result;

result = n1 + n2; try { // simulate JPA queries + reading file system Thread.currentThread().sleep(2000); } catch (InterruptedException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }

return new AsyncResult(result); }}
