J2EE Framework

Can anybody tell me the difference between J2EE Framework and Microsoft's .NET framework? Which one has more features?

Well I'll get on the "soap box" and say that J2EE is probably better because it will be platform independent, whereas .NET is stuck on Windows. I have started looking over .NET, and it looks like a carbon copy of J2EE, how right i am, thats your opinion...

    Introduction
    The purpose of compilation of the this paper
    A few years ago, when I was the software architect of a big project with J2EE, I advised some of the modern tools of that time to the project manager. He acknowledged it. Therefore, we began deploying our Enterprise on Java platform. However, we encounterd with many problems, as we got ahead the project. Our tools were included Struts Framework, Spring Framework & Hibernate.
    I convinced that MVC architecture is the best option to develop macro projects! However, I believe it now, as well. Couldn't it be more completed? In developed Enterprise projects, an advanced architecture is required to divide the project, technically. The project was successfully finished after one year, but my mind was busy with it for a long time!
    Then, I began implementing an Application Framework and registered it in Sourceforge.net as an Open Source Framework. I developed some Enterprise projects & some other J2EE frameworks, as well. I achieved a good result! The velocity of implemention & developing projects increased up to 50%. Subsequently, by cooperation of my elected students who had worked with Application Framework, I established an organization, named J2SOS, to protect & develop this Application Framework.
    Fortunately, my students were so skilled that each took a chief task in big J2EE projects.
    Their experiences had a practical affect on development of Application Framework as well as the organization.
    Therefore, it is required to write down my & my yesterday students (my today co-workers) experiences. This was the outset to write the present paper!
    Chapter 1
    The basic concepts of J2EE
    Purposes
    In this chapter, we do our best to introduce J2EE basic concepts.
    Servlet & JSP
    If you ahve ever worked with JSP & Servlet, you know that Servlet is so proper for processing functions but there are particular problems with it in displaying functions.
    JSP is applied reverse to Servlet. Thus, what is the solution? To apply both JSP and Servlet together!
    What is MVC?
    MVC is an easy way to use JSP & Servlet together. In MVC architecture, the request will be processed by a Class (Servlet) and the appropriate response will be showen by JSP.
    n the above Servlet Class, the validation operation, etc will be done.
    Nowadays, there are numerous Frameworks which will assist you to use MVC Framework architecture. Struts Framework is the most well-known one.
    MVC or JWMS ? That is the problem! Perhaps both!
    MVC is a powerful architecture, but it is required an advanced architecture to implement developed projects.
    Today, web applications are well developed which complicatethe work for programmers & developers.
    To clarify it, see Google site! Google Web Application enjoys numerous services, each have a special service for the users.
    For Instance, Gmail service, E-Mail or by SearchEngine, the users can search for websites, pictures, etc.
    These services have certaily close communication with each other.
    If the services do not use a particular architecture, the Google will encounter with various problems.
    In Service Oriented architecture, each part of the program is a service programme. For example, E-Mail service, SearchEngine service, etc.

  • Help on java/j2ee application development framework

    hello java-gurus,
    I'm new to java and is working in java for just 15 months.i want to know more about the platform/framework which is used in the development of java/j2ee projects.To be more specefic i want to build a java/j2ee project .
    -->The project will be located in the eclipse workspace.
    -->The eclipse will be connected to the cvs and will save the latest code in the repository.
    -->The project will have a build.xml file which on being executed
    will check the latest code from cvs.
    will run j unit test.
    on success from the junit it will compile the project.
    It will make a .war,.ear etc file..
    It will then be deployed in the application server.
    So i want to make a framework of this kind.So i want help from u guys how to proceed.
    I'm just a starter with ant scripts .know how to clean,build and make war files ..I also know about eclipse like connecting to cvs,generating ant script from it etc..
    i'm also comfortable with struts,java,servlet etc..
    So do give me some guidelines how to proceed .
    thanks

    Hello,
    i'm working in project same style of what you want. here are details :
    - eclipse for development - lomboz plugins for j2ee support.
    - using subclipse plugin for svn support checkout and commit, in case of cvs i think it is default in eclipse.
    - the framework is Struts, which is a very very powerful J2EE framework.
    - eclipse plugin lomboz supports creating and deal with struts project
    it also offers GUI for configuring struts xml files.
    - lomboz contains plugin for creating and define application servers and containers like tomcat and jboss, so you can compile, run and debug your code from your eclipse.
    - i use many other tools for creating UML diagrams and ERD diagram and reflect contents to existing projects.
    i think with struts,eclipse and lomboz you need nothing else.

  • Whick framework is better for enterprise applications

    Hi
    i read about many frameworks
    they says that Spring is better than Ejb for scalable apps and reusing and separation of properties and easier than Ejb
    and there is Struts which supports MVC and alot of frameworks there .
    i want to know which framework is better for Enterprise development and easier to maintain and easy to work with
    if its one one those i mention. what is it?
    if there is another framework that is the best of all. what is it?
    thanks in advance.

    Nope. There really is no "one true god". It all depends on what your doing. It's Horses for courses. Your milage may vary. And there's more than one way to do it!
    One caveat: There has not yet been (to the best of my knowledge) a successful commercial project using "the full" J2EE stack, including persistant entity beans.
    Spring is a "lighter" approach. Struts is "kind of old" now, though still useful. JSF is now used in more new projects, apparently.
    You'll also want to look into persistance "layers", especially Hibernate, as an alternative to those problematic persistant entity beans.
    My advise: read a bit, try it out, read some more... And don't forget to play with it! Seriously.
    It appears a daunting learning curve when you're starting out... it's a recognised weakness of the J2EE framework... but if your set-yourself to learn "the basics of" one new technology every month you'll soon start to come to grips with the mountain... after six months you'll atleast know how to climb a mountain, if not this exact mountain. There is no substitute for hard work.
    Cheers. Keith.

  • Forms 2 j2ee migration

    Hi,
    We are in the process of migrating (web) Forms/Reports 6i app to the J2EE framework.
    It looks like the number of source files will increase 10 folds.
    For each and every .fmb (or .rdf) we will have about 10 new .java sources.
    The migrated app will use EJBs and swing UI.
    Is this normal or are we doing something off the mainstream?
    Thanks/
    Regards,
    Arpad

    Please see out Forms/J2EE documents under otn.oracle.com/products/forms and then click to view the 10g papers -
    depending how you are doing this you could potentially get hundreds of java and xml files for a small four of five form application.

  • HELP!!! Cannot deploy J2EE application with Oracle JDBC driver...

    Hi,
    I am writing a J2EE application which (in theory, at least)
    connects to an Oracle 9i database.
    I have written a simple Java test app utilising only the
    java.sql package classes (e.g. Connection, ResultSet) to directly
    connect to the database. As long as the classes12.zip is in the
    CLASSPATH it works fine.
    Now I have written an Enterprise application (SessionBean,
    Remote and Home interface and Client) which I am attempting to
    deploy via deploytool.
    If I include just the client jar and EJB jar in the application
    it deploys okay but when I run the application (using runclient)
    it produces the following error:
    java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: oracle/jdbc/OracleDriver
    (It is nested within other error output but that is the core
    issue).
    However if I try to include the JAR libraries into the app
    (classes12.jar and nls_charset.jar from $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib),
    then I get the following output from deploytool when I hit the
    "deploy" (or "redeploy") button:
    Deployment error: invalid entry compressed size
    (expected 14411 but got 14580 bytes)
    Can someone please tell me what is going on???
    How can I deploy the J2EE application including the Oracle
    JDBC Driver???
    My only other option at the moment is to place all the function-
    -ality in the client and not use the J2EE framework.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Ben New

    OK Ben,
    I admit I'm a bit confused. Let me see if I understand where you're
    coming from.
    You have written a J2EE application that includes a session bean,
    correct? If so, your session bean needs to be deployed to an EJB
    container. What container are you using? The Oracle 9i database
    has an embedded EJB container which (theoretically) you can use.
    However, as far as I know, Oracle recommends you use OC4J as the
    EJB container. So again I ask, what EJB container are you using?
    If, as you say, you are new to EJB, then I think you should
    immediately start working wiht OC4J as your EJB container.
    Did you look at the tutorial link I gave in my previous post? It
    explains -- step by step -- how to create, deploy and run a J2EE
    application using OC4J as the EJB container. It also has links to
    introductory material for people without little knowledge of J2EE
    and EJB.
    I have 9iAS Enterprise Edition and 8.1.7.1.0 database server (and
    OC4J) installed on my SUN machine. I cannot find any of the
    utilities you mention -- "j2eeadmin","runclient" or "deploytool".
    What Oracle software have you installed? What are the versions?
    What platform are you using?
    A J2EE application (according to the specification from SUN)
    consists of modules. A module can either be a client module or an
    EJB module. A client module can either be a java application client
    or a web-based client (servlet or JSP). A J2EE application usually
    contains one client module and one EJB module. A J2EE application
    needs to be deployed to a J2EE container.
    Hopefully the J2EE picture is becoming clearer. I think you need
    to read some introductory material regarding J2EE if you intend
    to become proficient at it.
    I feel that you are under the impression that a J2EE application
    is a glorified JDBC application. It isn't (as far as I'm aware).
    Good Luck,
    Avi.

  • Mvc framework and stored procedures ?

    Is it possible to keep high productivity of the mvc framework and still use stored procedures as with Cocobase, Castor,etc?
    Thank you in advance.

    If your question is, "Can the Business Components for Java J2EE Framework easily use stored procedures as datasources?"
    The answer is yes. See the sample that we ship in the .\BC4J\samples\StoredProc directory.
    If you're meaning the Oracle9i MVC Framework for J2EE which is produced by Oracle Consulting, then it's best to ask the question the "Project Cleveland" forum here on the OTN forum.
    thanks.

    -     Use encrypted secure sockets layer (SSL) connections, user and client certificate-based authentication, and single sign-on across all applications
    -     Implement an LDAP directory that provides a single repository and administration environment for user accounts
    OracleAS Middle-Tier Components and Solutions
    Oracle Application Server provides several components that help you develop, deploy, and administer your Internet-based applications. These components and the solution areas they address are highlighted in the slide. In this lesson, you will be introduced to some of the important components of Oracle Application Server such as Oracle HTTP Server, OracleAS Containers, OracleAS Web Cache.
    Later in the course, you will also learn about Oracle Application Server components that are used to administer Oracle Application Server, such as OracleAS Infrastructure, OracleAS Process Monitoring and Notification System, and Distributed Configuration Manager.
    OracleAS MapViewer is a J2EE service for rendering maps using spatial data that is managed by Oracle Spatial.
    Oracle Application Server Terminology
    OracleAS Installation     The set of executables and configuration files that are created at the time of OracleAS installation
    OracleAS Instance     An operational OracleAS installation that runs some of the OracleAS components such as OHS, OC4J, etc.
    OracleAS Infrastructure     A combination of Metadata Repository, directory server, and Single Sign-On server
    Metadata Repository     A preseeded Oracle database that contains metadata required by Oracle Application Server instances
    Directory Server     Defines a hierarchical view of an organization’s employees, units, and other resources
    OracleAS Farm     A collection of OracleAS instances sharing the same configuration repository. The repository can be OracleAS Metadata Repository or a file-based repository.
    OracleAS Cluster     A collection of OracleAS Instances in the same Farm, with identical application deployments and functioning as a single unit.
    Oracle HTTP Server
    Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is the underlying deployment platform and provides a Web listener for OracleAS Containers for J2EE (OC4J) and the framework for hosting static and dynamic pages and applications over the Web. Oracle HTTP Server is based on Apache, and has been enhanced with the following additional modules:
    •     mod_plsql: Routes requests for stored procedures to the database server
    •     mod_perl: Routes PERL requests to the PERL interpreter
    •     mod_fastcgi: Supports persistent CGI processes
    •     mod_oc4j: Routes communication between Oracle HTTP Server and OracleAS Containers for Java (OC4J)
    •     mod_oradav: Supports file- as well as database-distributed authoring and versioning
    •     mod_ossl: Enables strong cryptography for Oracle HTTP Server, and enables the server to use SSL.
    •     mod_osso: Routes requests to the Single Sign-On server
    This is not a complete list, and some of the modules will be discussed in detail later.
    With Oracle Application Server, developers can choose familiar languages and technology to build Web sites and applications, including Java, XML, PL/SQL, PERL, C, C++, and Distributed Authoring and Versioning (DAV).
    OracleAS Containers for J2EE
    The J2EE platform that is provided in Oracle Application Server uses a multi-tiered distributed application model that divides application logic into components according to function.
    A container provides the run-time support for J2EE application components. Containers provide a federated view of the underlying J2EE APIs to the application components.
    OracleAS Containers for J2EE (OC4J) is a J2EE server implementation that runs on a standard Java Virtual Machine (JVM). OC4J has the following J2EE containers:
    •     The Web Container that has:
    -     A servlet container
    -     A JSP container
    •     An EJB container that has
    -     Session Beans
    -     Entity Beans
    -     Message-Driven Beans
    The J2EE concepts are further explained in Appendix D.
    OracleAS Web Services
    You can use Web Services to expose your applications in a manner you choose so that they can receive formatted instructions over the Web.
    A Web service is a discrete business process that:
    •     Exposes and describes its functionality and attributes in Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
    •     Uses the Universal Description, Discovery and Integration (UDDI) registries to allow other services to locate a service on the Web such as the translation or currency converter service
    •     Allows remote services to invoke a service using standard Internet protocols
    •     Returns a response to the requesting application over the same protocol
    OracleAS Web Services provide support for developing and deploying Web services.
    OracleAS Web Services run as servlets in the OC4J servlet container. OracleAS Web Services support both Remote Procedure Call (RPC) style exchange and message-oriented, or Document Style exchange.
    OracleAS Enterprise Portal
    Portals allow clients to access information through any Web browser. This information usually comes from different data sources that the portal combines into a single entry point. Portals also support personalized views, so that each user or user group can customize both the content and the appearance of the portal to suit individual preferences and requirements.
    OracleAS Portal is a Web-based tool for building and deploying e-business portals. It provides a secure, manageable environment for accessing and interacting with enterprise software services and information resources. It enables you to efficiently manage, access, and interact with information by enabling you to create portal pages.
    OracleAS Portal has an extensible framework that integrates information components called portlets. The portlets are Web-based resources such as Web pages, applications, business intelligence reports, and syndicated content feeds within standardized, reusable information components.
    OracleAS Portal interface provides an organized, consistent view of the business information, Web content, and applications that each user needs.
    OracleAS Portal self-service publishing features allow authorized users to post and share any kind of document or Web content with other users anywhere in the world.
    Wireless-Enabled Applications
    Mobile users increasingly rely on wireless devices for communication while away from the office. OracleAS Wireless enables enterprises and service providers to efficiently build, manage, and maintain wireless and voice applications. OracleAS Wireless also provides:

    OracleAS Reports Services
    Developers can build and publish sophisticated, high-quality reports from any source, with unlimited data formatting, and deploy them seamlessly on Oracle Application Server.
    Both developers and users can access OracleAS Reports Services from any browser, because all report definition files are stored on the OracleAS middle-tier. Reports Services leverages middle-tier load balancing and caching to provide high volumes of reports, without excessive demands on limited resources.
    Users can also link to published reports from OracleAS Portal. Depending on the report configuration, it can be generated on demand or scheduled for a specific time or at a specific interval and stored on the middle tier for rapid retrieval.
    Reports Services can generate reports in HTML for Web publishing, in PDF to enable high-quality viewing and printing, or in XML to communicate data to XML-aware tools or Web sites.
    Regardless of format, OracleAS can ensure secure distribution of reports by allowing only specific database roles to access the report, and validating user credentials against a Single Sign-On server and Oracle Internet Directory (OID).
    OracleAS Discoverer
    OracleAS Discoverer is a tool with an ad hoc query, reporting, analysis, and Web publishing capabilities. Discoverer works with any OLTP or data warehouse and supports Oracle Applications.
    With Discoverer, business users at all levels of the organization can gain immediate access to information from data marts, data warehouses, and online transaction processing (OLTP) systems. You can rapidly view information in customizable summary formats, drill down to detail views, and perform complex calculations on data, including analytic functions available in the Oracle database.
    OracleAS Discoverer is available in two types of clients:
    •     Discoverer Plus, which runs as a Java applet and features user-defined queries and reports
    •     Discoverer Viewer, which runs in a browser and provides casual users with access to predefined queries and drill-down reports
    OracleAS Web Cache
    OracleAS Web Cache functions as a front end for the application servers. The first time that OracleAS Web Cache receives an HTTP or HTTPS request, it forwards the request to an HTTP server for processing. Web Cache stores the response in memory based the defined caching rules so that it can respond directly to future requests.
    Web Cache understands HTTP headers, including cookies, and makes caching decisions based on administrator or application-defined rules.
    To invalidate the cache, administrators can specify expiration policies or applications can send an HTTP invalidation message.
    Deploying the Web cache before a farm of application or HTTP servers enables clustering, surge protection, and Web server load balancing, so that cache misses are directed to the most available, highest-performing origin Web server.
    Accelerating Performance with Caching
    OracleAS Web Cache can render the service from a Web site faster by reducing unnecessary hits on the other middle-tier and back-end components.
    Furthermore, deploying Web Cache helps to reduce your hardware and administration costs. In a distributed environment, you can deploy Web Cache on machines at remote sites instead of deploying multiple HTTP servers. As a result, many requests can be handled locally by Web Cache, avoiding middle-tier and back-end processing, as well as slower throughput on WANs.
    Web Cache accelerates delivery of both static and dynamic contents.
    Web Cache also provides load balancing, by distributing cache miss requests according to the relative capacity of each HTTP server.
    Multiple instances of Web Cache, called cluster members, can operate as one logical cache. They communicate with one another to request cacheable content that is cached by another cache cluster member and to detect when a cache cluster member fails.
    To enable cache clusters to function as a single unit, you need to setup a load balancer.
    Oracle Application Server Management
    The primary tool for managing Oracle Application Server, as well as your entire Oracle environment, is Oracle Application Server.
    The Oracle Enterprise Manager Application Server Control is installed with every instance of Oracle Application Server and immediately provides you with the management tools that you need to monitor and administer a single Oracle Application Server instance, a farm of application server instances, or an Oracle Application Server cluster.
    In addition to Oracle Enterprise Manager, Oracle Application Server provides command-line interfaces to several key management technologies. The command-line tools can help you automate your management procedures with scripts and custom utilities. The two most important command-line tools are the following:
    •     opmnctl, which provides a command-line interface to Oracle Process Management Notification (OPMN)
    •     dcmctl, which provides a command-line interface to Distributed Configuration Management (DCM)
    OracleAS Infrastructure
    OracleAS Infrastructure provides centralized services that are related to the product metadata, identity management, and configuration management.
    OracleAS Infrastructure provides centralized identity management services, configuration information, and data repositories for middle-tier installations. The key features that middle-tier instances typically use are the following:
    •     Product Metadata Service: Product Metadata Service provides all of the metadata that the middle-tier instances require. It is bundled as part of the OracleAS Infrastructure. Product Metadata is looked up by middle-tier OracleAS instances for the successful execution of applications. Product metadata is not accessed directly by the customer applications.
    •     Security Service: Security Service provides a consistent security model for all Oracle Application Server applications. It also provides a single source of identity metadata that contains all administration and user privileges.
    Oracle Internet Directory and Security
    Oracle Internet Directory (OID) is an LDAP server that can be used to store all of the credentials required for the enterprise. Oracle Internet Directory offers comprehensive and flexible support for directory access control. This includes entry-level, attribute-level, and prescriptive access control, to provide varying levels of security to fit enterprise and service provider needs.
    OID implements three levels of user authentication:
    •     Anonymous
    •     Password-based
    •     Certificate-based, using secure sockets layer (SSL) for authenticated access and data privacy
    The Web-based Delegated Administration Service (DAS) enables application administrators to delegate user management tasks such as granting or restricting access to a specific directory attribute, entry, group, or naming context to application users.
    After OID is deployed, organizations can use OracleAS Single Sign-On to provide a single point of validation for user credentials. After users sign on successfully, their credentials are automatically retrieved from OID when they launch any Oracle partner application.
    Securing the Web Infrastructure
    For network encryption and authentication, Oracle Application Server provides a comprehensive suite of security services, including OracleAS Single Sign-On. The Single Sign-On server validates user credentials against Oracle Internet Directory, an LDAP directory service.
    Also, secure sockets layer (SSL) encryption can be used to protect these transactions against malicious intrusion.
    Oracle Application Server: Quick Tour
    A good starting point to get familiar with and learn about features of Oracle Application Server is to access the Quick Tour. You can find the Quick Tour in the Oracle Application Server documentation library. The Oracle Application Server documentation library is available:
    •     On a separate CD in the Oracle Application Server CD pack
    •     On Oracle Technology Network Web site at http://otn.oracle.com/products/ias/index.html

    Nice, am I coming in here to read the English docs again?

  • XI 3.0 -- Local Adapter Engine

    Hi all,
    I can sent the file of my local PC to the XI 3.0 by using the local adapter engine of XI 2.0.  But I can't do it by using the File Adapter Communication Channel in XI 3.0.
    In my XI 2.0 local adapter engine, I startup the RUN_ADAPTER.BAT in my local adapter engine folder. And create the file_inbound adapter: File_2_M47 as:
    <b>## file adapter java class
    classname=com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.ModuleFile2XMB
    mode=FILE2XMB
    Integration Engine address and document settings (example, see docu)

    XMB.Password=xipass
    XMB.SenderBusinessSystem=FILE_SYSTEM
    XMB.SenderInterfaceNamespace=http://trevorecc5.com/xi/file
    XMB.SenderInterfaceName=ZMI_SO_IDOC
    XMB.ContentKind=B
    #XMB.ContentKind=T
    XMB.ContentType=application/xml
    #XMB.ContentType=text/xml
    #XMB.ContentType=text/plain
    XMB.QualityOfService=EO
    ##File Adapter specific parameters (example, see docu)
    file.sourceDir=C:/filetoidoc
    file.sourceFilename=.
    file.processingMode=setAttribute
    #file.processingMode=delete
    #file.processingMode=archive
    #file.archiveDir=c:/temp_archive
    file.pollInterval=20
    ##xml conversion properties if mode FILE2XMBWITHROWCONVERSION specified (example, see docu)
    #xml.fieldFixedLengths=15,25
    xml.processFieldNames=notAvailable
    xml.fieldSeparator=;</b>
    Note: The IP address (10.37.217.65 ) is my XI 3.0 server.
    I can send the file of my folder - C:/filetoidoc.
    I have configured the Comunication Channel in XI 3.0.
    And the related parameters like as:
    <b>Comunication Channel: CC_FILE_IDOC
    Service                : FILE_SYSTEM
    Adapter type           : File
                           : Sender
    Transport Protocol     : File System(NFS)
    Message   Protocol     : File
    Adapter   Engine       : Integration Server
    Source    Directory    : C:/filetoidoc
    File      Name         : .
    Quality   Service      : Exactly Once
    Poll      Interval     : 20
    Processing Mode        : Set to Read-Only
    Empty-File Handling    : Do Not Create Message
    Process   Sequence     : By Name
    File Type              : Binary
    Status                 : Active
    The sender comunication channel CC_FILE_IDOC has been assigned to the sender aggreement /File_System/ZMI_SO_IDOC/ of namespaces: http://trevorecc5.com/xi/file</b>
    But it can't work! 
    I don't know how to configure the file adapter Comunication Channel for my sending in XI 3.0.
    Any help is appreciated.

    Trevor

    Hi,
    ><i>I think the XI 2.0 local adapter engine is more useful than the XI 3.0 comunication channel.</i>
    I ve never had the opportunity to work on XI 2.0 but the difference lies in the entire architecture of the Adapter Engine in XI 2.0 and XI 3.0
    While XI 2.0 had the adapter Engine as a J2SE  based engine, XI 3.0 is based on the J2EE framework and thereby allows more features including modules , and also supports different types of adapters and custom developed adapters as well.
    There is no real difficulty in configuring an adapter in XI 3.0 but ofcourse one should take in mind that the network level details should be beyong an XI developers job role.
    You need to look at the fact that the problem you are facing is not because XI 3.0 adapter has some problem, but rather because you seem to have network restrictions!!
