JBoss Introduction<\/strong><\/p>\n

Open source implementation of the Java EE suite of services<\/p>\n

Great deal of customization due to modularization of the services like.<\/p>\n

Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB),Java Persistence API (JPA),Java Messaging Service (JMS),Java Transaction Service\/Java Transaction API (JTS\/JTA)<\/p>\n

Servlets and JavaServer Pages (JSP),Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)<\/p>\n

Advanced and fully extensible, cross component model, aspect integration, server runtime environment<\/p>\n

Things to Understand<\/strong><\/h3>\n

————————–<\/p>\n

Remote Method Invocation (RMI)<\/strong> :Enables client and Web components deployed on JBoss to communicate with each other across networks.<\/p>\n

Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI)<\/strong>: Enables you to identify an EJB business component deployed on JBoss.<\/p>\n

Java Messaging Service (JMS)<\/strong>: Enables you to send messages between Web components and backend systems that persist data.<\/p>\n

Java Database Connectivity (JDBC):<\/strong> Enables Web components and business components to communicate with the backend database<\/p>\n

Java Connector Architecture (JCA):<\/strong> Enables business components to communicate with the backend systems, such as a legacy system or an Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system.<\/p>\n

Java Transaction API (JTA) and Java Transaction Service (JTS)<\/strong>: Enable you to perform transactions between Web components, business components, and backend systems in a distributed application<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Servlet<\/strong>: A servlet is java class defines an init method, one or more service methods, and a destroy method. The Web container invokes the init method to initialize a servlet so that the servlet can process a request.<\/h4>\n

<\/b>The service method of a GenericServlet class defines the request processing logic,such as doGet(), doPost(), doPut(), doDelete(), doTrace(), and doOptions(), to process request information.<\/p>\n

The init() method initializes a Servlet Config object that passes Web server configuration information to the servlet instance. The doGet() method processes the request object and sends a simple message in the response. You can implement code in the destroy() method to remove any run-time variables or objects from memory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

JSP<\/strong> pages are text-based documents that execute as servlets but create dynamic content, such as HTML, WML, or XML, using predefined tags called JSP elements. You can place static content in a JSP page or use JSP elements to generate a dynamic content for the response.<\/h4>\n

<\/b>
\nThe elements that specify information to the Web container that processes the JSP page are:
\nDirectives: Provide global information to enable sessions, identify error pages, or specify Java import statements, include static contents.<\/p>\n

Declaratives: Specify global variables and method declarations.<\/p>\n

Scriptlets: Contain Java code embedded within the page.<\/p>\n

Expressions: Contain elements that are formatted as strings and included in the page output.<\/p>\n

Actions: Specify elements that perform a function abstracted from the page<\/p>\n

JBoss MicroContainer<\/h3>\n

Crux of Jboss, which is the foundation architecture into which you can plug only the services that your application needs. You can use bean configuration files in the server\/xxx\/conf directory to configure the
\nMicroContainer.<\/p>\n

Jboss 5.0 still provides few services based on JMX (Java Management eXtensions) to access the MBeans.
\nJMX Service is defined by JMX kernel is server\/xxx\/conf\/jboss-service.xml, some Mbeans defined are below.<\/p>\n

The logging Service
\nThe Thread Pool – used to supply threads to run various services
\nThe Java Naming and Directory Interface – JNDI
\nVarious MBeans for managing security – includes JAAS
\nVarious MBeans related to accessing JMX services
\nVarious MBeans related to the remoting service<\/p>\n

JBoss Server : History<\/strong><\/p>\n

Developed by Jboss Inc, now a RedHat division.
\nJBoss AS 4.0, a Java EE 1.4 features embedded apache tomcat.
\nJBoss AS 4.2 also functions as a Java EE 1.4 but deploys EJB 3.0 by default
\nJBoss AS 5.1, released as of 2009, operates as a Java EE 5 application server built on top of a new JBoss microcontainer.
\nJBoss AS 6.0, an unofficial implementation of Java EE 6, was released on December 28, 2010. JBoss AS 6 does not support the full Java EE 6 stack
\nJBoss AS 7, the current stable release, was released on July 12, 2011.<\/p>\n

JBoss AS Architecture<\/p>\n

“JBoss AS is assembled from a set of independent, yet cooperating components and services that are neatly packaged and fully hot-deployable. It is architected to be seamlessly embeddable in applications, and the nature of its embedding is completely customizable to the requirements of the application itself. Only the critical and necessary application server components, therefore, need to be brought along as part of the application\u2019s baseline footprint. Developers can also easily create and add their own services to the system, thus ensuring that custom services exhibit the same consistent behavior as the JBoss standard set of services.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0Java EE Deployment Lifecycle<\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"jboss4\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Development and Deployment Lifecycle:<\/p>\n

1.Design static content (HTML, CSS, GIF, JPG, etc.)
\n2.Develop dynamic content (Servlets, JSPs, and other Java components like EJBs)
\n3.Write deployment descriptors (e.g. web.xml, application.xml, ejb-jar.xml, etc.) for components
\n4.Assemble components into deployable packages (e.g. WAR, JAR, EAR, etc.)
\n5.Provide all resources that the components require (e.g DBCP, Mail sessions, message queues, etc.)
\n6.Deploy packages (e.g. WAR, JAR, EAR, etc.) on the Java EE application server
\n7.Manage Java EE applications on the server<\/p>\n

2. Deployment Descriptors<\/b><\/p>\n

Give the containers instructions on how to use and manage deployed Java EE components<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Security<\/li>\n
  2. Transactions<\/li>\n
  3. Persistence<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Declarative customization (XML-based)
    \nEnables portability of Java EE components<\/p>\n

    Note:
    \nJ2EE 1.3 and JBoss pre 5.x deployment descriptors are defined by XML DTD documents. These can be found in $JBOSS_HOME\/docs\/dtd\/ directory. As of J2EE 1.4 and JBoss 5.x, deployment descriptors are defined by XML Schema (XSD) documents. These can be found in $JBOSS_HOME\/docs\/schema\/ directory.<\/p>\n

    3. Deployment on JBoss AS<\/b><\/p>\n

    Deployment is a two-step process<\/p>\n

    1.First we notify JBoss that of the application we want to deploy by copying it to ${jboss.server.home.url}\/deploy\/ or any of its subdirectories
    \n2. Then, JBoss performs the necessary steps to make that application ready for our use<\/p>\n

    Undeployment on Jboss As<\/b>
    \nUndeployment is also a two-step process<\/p>\n

    1.First we notify JBoss that of the application we want to undeploy by removing it from${jboss.server.home.url}\/deploy\/ directory
    \n2.Then, JBoss performs the necessary steps to stop the application and unload its resources.<\/p>\n

    Alternatively, applications can be deployed\/undeployed\/and re-deployed viajboss.system:service=MainDeployer JMX MBean (more on this later).
    \nThis mechanism also support remote management of JBoss deployments.Supports deployment dependencies<\/p>\n

    \u00a0Hot-deployment vs. cold-deployment<\/h3>\n

    Archived components are uncompressed (a.k.a. exploded) under${jboss.server.temp.dir}\/deploy\/
    \nJBoss deletes (or at least it is supposed to delete) ${jboss.server.temp.dir}\/deploy\/deployments upon restart
    \nIt is recommended to deploy applications already uncompressed (exploded) for to avoid the overhead of uncompression, and provide easy access to deployment descriptors and JSP files
    \nThe deployed components are automatically redeployed if their deployment descriptors are modified while JBoss AS is running
    \nJBoss supports nested deployments (e.g. WAR under EAR) regardless of whether they are compressed into archives or deployed uncompressed
    \nWith clustering enabled, JBoss AS also supports farmed deployment – that is, pushing applications across the entire cluster when deployed on any single member of that cluster
    \nJBoss supports JSR-88 (Java EE application deployment spec) but
    \nThere are no tools that make this kind of deployment easy – requires writing code
    \nThe resulting deployments go into the tmp\/ directory – making redeployments harder<\/p>\n

    4. Deployers on JBoss AS<\/b><\/p>\n

    JBoss has an extensible deployment architecture that allows components to be easily integrated into the core JBoss Microcontainer
    \nDeployers for: WARs, EARs, EJBs, JAR libraries, RARs, SARs, XML-based services, HARs, Aspects, Client, BeanShell scripts
    \nThe deployers are deployed themselves as *.deployer or *-deployer-beans.xml \u00a0under ${jboss.server.home.url}\/deployers\/ directory<\/p>\n

    4.1. Type of Deployers<\/p>\n

    Web – handles web application archives as .war files with descriptors WEB-INF\/web.xml, WEB- INF\/jboss-web.xml (optional), and WEB-INF\/context.xml (optional)<\/p>\n

    EAR – handles enterprise application archives as .ear files with descriptors META-INF\/application.xml and META-INF\/jboss-app.xml (optional)<\/p>\n

    EJB – handles Enterprise Java Bean archives as .jar files with descriptors META-INF\/ejb-jar.xml and META-INF\/jboss.xml (optional)<\/p>\n

    RAR – handles JCA resource archives as .rar files with a descriptor META-INF\/ra.xml
    \nSAR – handles JBoss MBean service archives either as .sar files with a META-INF\/jboss-service.xml descriptor, or as stand alone *-service.xml files<\/p>\n

    Web Service – handles JBoss Web Services as *.wsr files
    \nPOJO – handles plain old java objects deployed as *-jboss-beans.xml files that register with JBoss Microcontainer
    \nXML – handles arbitrary .xml files that are converted into SARs (e.g. *-ds.xml get deployed as data sources)
    \nHAR – handles Hibernate archives as .har files with a META-INF\/hibernate-service.xmldescriptor
    \nAspect – handles aspect archives either as .aop files with a META-INF\/jboss-aop.xmldescriptor or as stand-alone *-aop.xml files
    \nClient – handles Java EE application client resources as .jar files with META-INF\/application-client.xml and META-INF\/jboss-client.xml (optional) descriptors
    \nBeanShell – handles bean shell scripts as .bsh files that represent MBeans
    \nZip – handles arbitrary .zip archives that are examined for that actual deployment type based on the internal deployment descriptors<\/p>\n
