I want to give brief introduction about current implementation in the view of integration points
Brief Summary About Current Situation --------------------------------------------------------- Currently we bootstrap OpenWebBeans via ServletContextListener. It supports following containers - Java Web Containers like Jetty, Tomcat etc. - Tomcat Embeddable OpenEJB Container If developer wants to use OWB functionality in his application, it has to configure its "web.xml" to include some OWB specific classes. For EJB functionality, we use embeddable Tomcat OpenEJB container. To use EJB functionality, developer must annotate their EJB classes with OWB specific "Interceptor" class. How OWB Boots Currently(From integration point of view) ------------------------------------------------------- 1* Web Container calls OWB specific context listener's "application started" method 2* OWB container scans related classes from the artifacts (if META-INF/beans.xml, or WEB-INF/beans.xml exists. beans.xml is a marker for deployment) 3* If developer configures OWB to use EJB functionality, for each scanned class, it asks OpenEJB to learn whether it is an EJB class or not (Using EJB Plugin that is written accroding to the OpenEJB) 4* If it is an EJB class, it creates EJB bean and register it with the OWB container otherwise if it is a Java EE defined Managed Bean Class, it creates a "Managed Bean" and register it with the OWB container. Developer Responsibility to Use OWB -------------------------------------------------------- 1* Add servlet context listener to his web module's "web.xml" 2* Annotate EJB classes with OWB interceptor 3* Configure OWB container to use EJB functionality 4* Configure some OWB specific parameters (For example : if use JMS injections, specify ConnectionFactory JNDI name) Current Problems ----------------------------------------------------- 1* Currently we just support "WAR" module with embeddable EJB. 2* Developer requires to update WAR/EJB module metadata files to use OWB. 3* Standalone EJB JAR,RAR, EAR not supported 4* Injections into "Managed Beans" class not well supported. (For example : @Resource, @WebServiceRef, @EJB, @PersistenceUnit,@PersistenceContext.) How Could We Integrate with Geronimo --------------------------------------------------------- 1* Geronimo looks for deployment. If it contains "beans.xml", it automatically registers OWB servlet context listener with WAR's web.xml at deployment time 2* Automatically registers OWB EJB interceptor with EJBs at deployment time (If module is EJB module or EAR module containing EJB modules) 3* Support EJB JAR, EAR, RAR modules 4* Write EJB Plugin for Geronimo 5* Supports injections for Managed Beans I hope this helps a bit more Thanks; --Gurkan 2009/8/20 Rick McGuire <rick...@gmail.com> > Gurkan Erdogdu wrote: > >> >>>We'd be interested in any details about what integration work might be >> needed to add this to Geronimo. >> It is a really fascinating thing that you support us to finish >> implementation and pass TCK :) We really need a help. >> > I think there is a great willingness to help you with this, but I was > looking form something more specific, such as the actual areas/functions > where integration assistance is needed. > Rick > > >> Thanks; >> >> --Gurkan >> >> 2009/8/20 Rick McGuire <rick...@gmail.com <mailto:rick...@gmail.com>> >> >> Gurkan Erdogdu wrote: >> >> Hi; >> >> Thanks for kicking discussion David. >> >> As you may already know Java EE 6 will be planned to release >> on November.
