Seam 2.x Web Development

Build robust web applications with Seam, Facelets, and RichFaces using the JBoss application server

Develop rich web applications using Seam 2.x, Facelets, and RichFaces and deploy them on the JBoss Application Server

Integrate standard technologies like JSF, Facelets, EJB, and JPA with Seam and build on them using additional Seam components

Informative and practical approach to development with fully working examples and source code for each chapter of the book

In Detail

The Seam framework from JBoss allows developers to use JSF, Facelets, EJB, and JPA to write conversational web applications. But you will first have to learn how these standard technologies are integrated using Seam and how they can be built upon using additional Seam components. If you need to build a Java web application fast, but don’t have time to learn all these complex features, then this book is for you.

The book provides a practical approach to developing Seam applications highlighting good development practices. It provides a complete walk through to develop Web applications using Seam, Facelets, and RichFaces and explains how to deploy them to the JBoss Application Server. You can start using key aspects of the Seam framework immediately because this book builds on them chapter by chapter, finally ending with details of enterprise functionality such as PDF report generation and event frameworks.

First, the book introduces you to the fundamentals of Seam applications, describing topics such as Injection, Outjection and Bijection. You will understand the Facelets framework, AJAX, database persistence, and advanced Seam concepts through the many examples in the book.

The book takes a practical approach throughout to describing the technologies and tools involved. You will add functionality to Seam applications after you learn how to use the Seam Generator RAD tools and how to customize and fully test application functionality. Hints and tips are provided along the way of how to use Seam and the JBoss Application Server.

What you will learn from this book?

Understand the fundamentals of Seam and why Seam is different from many other web frameworks

Develop web applications using the Facelets viewing technology as an advanced replacement for JSF

Test all aspects of a Seam application including testing web pages and Seam components

Utilize the RichFaces library for developing advanced, rich user interfaces including AJAX technologies for an improved user experience

Develop persistent applications using the Java Persistence API (JPA)

Build conversational web applications that can run over multiple browser windows and tabs without worrying about storing session data

Secure applications using role-based security, CAPTCHA, and OpenId

Easily use Facelets to render data as HTML/PDF/RTF/email

Use JBoss Tools to rapidly enhance your developer productivity

Approach

Having developed enterprise Java applications since 2001, the author’s experience enables him to provide a clear incremental approach to web development with Seam. Initially the book introduces Seam using Java Server Pages (JSP) as the view technology so that readers can quickly learn the key concepts behind Seam. Additional technologies used within Seam applications are then introduced chapter by chapter with each chapter building on the material previously learned. The book describes each technology, providing working examples and source code for each.

This is not a dry Seam reference book, but an exciting journey learning Seam, starting at the basics and progressing by the end of the book to more advanced enterprise features.

Who this book is written for?

This book is for Java EE application developers who are new to Seam and interested in developing with Seam 2.x.

You will need a basic understanding of Java EE and also to be aware of EJB3, although you do not need to know it in any detail. Experience with JBoss AS would be great, but all you really need is to be comfortable using any application server. Knowledge of AJAX and JavaScript would also be beneficial, although it is not necessary.

Business Process Management with JBoss jBPM

This book teaches Business Analysts to model business processes in JBoss jBPM and generate workflow application code from their models without Java coding expertise. It is a full toolkit for anyone wanting to implement Business Process Management correctly, covering tasks common to all BPM implementations, although it is focused on popular, free, open-source jBPM, with its flexible, scalable process engine, pluggable modular architecture, and easy programming model (jPDL) blending the best of Java and declarative techniques. The practical approach with step-by-step instructions uses a realistic case study to explore and explain BPM, model creation, and implementation. It covers: efficient, standards-friendly mapping of business processes; using the jBPM toolset to work with business process maps, analyze process execution data, and for ongoing process improvement; setting up business rules: task assignments, escalation points; process variables; automating activities and decisions.

Practical RichFaces

JBoss RichFaces is a rich JSF component library that helps developers quickly develop next–generation web applications. Practical RichFaces describes how to best take advantage of RichFaces, the integration of the Ajax4jsf and RichFaces libraries, to create a flexible and powerful programs. Assuming some JSF background, it shows you how you can radically reduce programming time and effort to create rich AJAX based applications.

JBoss in Action: Configuring the JBoss Application Server

JBoss in Action is the first book to focus on teaching readers in detail how to use the JBoss application server. Unlike other titles about JBoss, the authors of JBoss in Action go deeper into the advanced features and configuration of the server. In particular, it focuses on enterprise-class topics, such as high availability, security, and performance.

This book walks readers through the JBoss 5 Application Server from installation to configuration to production development. It shows how to configure the server’s various component containers such as the JBoss Web Server, the EJB 3 server, and JBoss Messaging. It also provides detailed insight into configuring the various component services such as security, performance, and clustering. Beyond coverage of the core application server, the book also teaches how to use some of the “hot” technologies that run on top of the application server, such as Jboss Seam and JBoss Portal.

The authors, both seasoned professional experts at developing and administering JBoss, provide meaningful explanations and background on many topics which they tie in with their own practical, real-world advice from their collective experience. These uniquely comprehensive explanations and the wide coverage provided in this book surpass any other content currently available in any other book, article, or documentation on the subject.
