Exercise 6.2: Dependent Value Classes in CMP 2.0

The example programs in Exercise 6.2 explore using a dependent value class to combine multiple CMP fields into a single serializable object that can be passed in and out of entity-bean methods.

Start Up JBoss

If you already have JBoss running, there is no reason to restart it.

Initialize the Database

No database initialization is needed.

Build and Deploy the Example Programs

Perform the following steps:

  1. Open a command prompt or shell terminal and change to the ex06_2 directory created by the extraction process

  2. Set the JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME environment variables to point to where your JDK and JBoss 4.0 are installed. Examples:

    Windows: C:workbookex06_2> set JAVA_HOME=C:jdk1.4.2 C:workbookex06_2> set JBOSS_HOME=C:jboss-4.0
    Unix: $ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.4.2 $ export JBOSS_HOME=/usr/local/jboss-4.0
  3. Add ant to your execution path.

Windows: C:workbookex06_2> set PATH=..antin;%PATH%
Unix: $ export PATH=../ant/bin:$PATH

Perform the build by typing ant.

As in the last exercise, you will see titan.jar rebuilt, copied to the JBoss deploy directory, and redeployed by the application server.

Examine the JBoss-Specific Files

There are no new JBoss configuration files or components in this exercise.

Examine and Run the Client Applications

The example program, Client_62, shows how the Name dependent value class is used with the Customer EJB. The example code is pulled directly from the EJB book and embellished somewhat to expand on introduced concepts. The EJB book does a pretty good job of explaining the concepts illustrated in Client_62, so further explanation of the code is not needed in this workbook.

The client application uses the new getName( ) and setName( ) methods of the Customer EJB to initialize, modify, and display a newly created Customer bean using the Name dependent value class. This test bean is then removed from the database before the application finishes.

To run Client_62, invoke the Ant task run.client_62. Remember to set your JBOSS_HOME and PATH environment variables. The output should look something like this:

C:workbookex06_2>ant run.client_62
Buildfile: build.xml

prepare:

compile:

ejbjar:

run.client_62:
     [java] 1 = Richard Monson
     [java] 1 = Richard Monson-Haefel
