Re: Migration to TomEE/CDI complete, regression testing, ViewAccessScoped
Howard, there is nothing against ViewScoped/ViewAccessScoped. But many data in ViewScoped/ViewAccessScoped leads to high memory usage, so it's better to use RequestScoped if possible. 2012/11/21 Howard W. Smith, Jr. smithh032...@gmail.com I'd like to take time to thank you all that helped me migrate from Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and JSF Managed beans to TomEE and CDI managed beans. I think the migration is complete. I am in regression testing phase/mode now. :) Special shout out to Thomas Andraschko, as his inputs in PrimeFaces forums and blogs, lead/motivated me to migrate from Mojarra 2.1.7 to MyFaces Core 2.1.8 for fast (AJAX) rendering performance, and then he even recommended MyFaces Core, OpenWebBeans, JUEL for huge performance gains, and even today, he encouraged me to consider Batoo JPA, and because of that, TomEE/OpenEJB and Batoo JPA are now discussing integration! :) Anyway, Jose, here, recommended CODI @ViewAccessScoped. I think Thomas and some other expert users in PrimeFaces Core forum recommended @RequestScoped as much as possible throughout app, and recommended against JSF @ViewScoped as well as CODI @ViewAccessScoped (I hope I'm not misquoting them...smile). Honestly, I have no CDI @RequestScoped beans in my app; I need to take time to move some of my code from CDI @SessionScoped to CDI @RequestScoped. Also, due to issues I experienced injecting EJBs inside of @FacesConverter (which were added to CDI @SessionScoped beans) caused me to move all my @FacesConverter classes to JSF @RequestScoped beans; that seems to be working great, but Mark and Gerhard has already recommended CODI @Advanced/etc... to inject beans in @FacesConverter classes. I need to give them a try even though I spent hours moving @FacesConverter classes from CDI beans to JSF Managed beans...during this migration to CDI. So, please advise on whether I should use @ViewAccessScoped; pros, cons, promote/hinder performance, etc... OR, should I move to CDI @RequestScoped, ASAP??? :) Oh, Romain informed me that tomee.xml JDBC resources automatically have pooling. I hope that is the case, because as soon as regression testing is complete, I would like to push the new CDI version of my JSF web app to production, and start using some of the other/neat features of CDI, like CDI events where possible. :) Thanks, Howard
Re: Migration to TomEE/CDI complete, regression testing, ViewAccessScoped
Thomas, Well, for now, I opt to do/use CDI @RequestScoped, ASAP, since production box/server is running Windows 2003 Server, where 4GB RAM is max...shaking my head. I'm sure we will upgrade when necessary, but right now that app is lighting fast now with Glassfish 3.1.2.2 and MyFaces Core 2.1.9 and JUEL 2.2.5. :) Looking forward to the performance advantages/gains of OpenWebBeans. :) Also, this Batoo JPA that you mentioned earlier, because EclipseLink/Derby and Google Calendar requests/updates are the only 2 bottlenecks in the app. Thanks, Howard On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 4:47 AM, Thomas Andraschko andraschko.tho...@gmail.com wrote: Howard, there is nothing against ViewScoped/ViewAccessScoped.

Re: Migration to TomEE/CDI complete, regression testing, ViewAccessScoped
The most users that will be using the app concurrently is 4 to 5 users (my family), and there are times that they are doing some 'heavy lifting' (database retrievals/updates, as well as PDF files generated in memory and printed/viewed/emailed/faxed, and occasional data push to Google Calendar via Google Calendar API). Next, planning to automatically insert data into database from public website's form results. Hoping to expand the services of the 'app' to customers via the public website...one day. The (JSF/HTML5) web app is accessed in and out of the office on multiple platforms (laptops, iPad, multiple Android devices).

well, that should do :) We are serving up to 40.000 users with now 5GB RAM. But mostly due to lots of caches in our app. Oh and we have 16 webapps.

Re: Migration to TomEE/CDI complete, regression testing, ViewAccessScoped
@SessionScoped has the downside that you cannot open multiple browser tabs with different data. Think about having a list of Cars and then opening 2 different car-edit dialoges in new browser tabs. That would not work using @SessionScoped and is the reason why we invented @WindowScoped and consorts. LieGrue, strub - Original Message - From: Howard W.

Re: Migration to TomEE/CDI complete, regression testing, ViewAccessScoped
Great, thanks Mark, glad to hear that! Caches? Care to share a blog that 'you' possibly wrote on that, or anyone else? :) I did read about Second-Level caching in Java EE 6 tutorial, but was not a big priority when I reviewed that before I began developing JSF web app last year. :) On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 6:07 AM, Mark Struberg strub...@yahoo.de wrote: well, that should do :) We are serving up to 40.000 users with now 5GB RAM. But mostly due to lots of caches in our app. Oh and we have 16 webapps. Each user getting their own session in each webapp... So really nothing to worry about.

I think Thomas and some other expert users in PrimeFaces Core forum recommended @RequestScoped as much as possible throughout app, and recommended against JSF @ViewScoped as well as CODI @ViewAccessScoped (I hope I'm not misquoting them...smile). Honestly, I have no CDI @RequestScoped beans in my app; I need to take time to move some of my code from CDI @SessionScoped to CDI @RequestScoped. Also, due to issues I experienced injecting EJBs inside of @FacesConverter (which were added to CDI @SessionScoped beans) caused me to move all my @FacesConverter classes to JSF @RequestScoped beans; that seems to be working great, but Mark and Gerhard has already recommended CODI @Advanced/etc... to inject beans in @FacesConverter classes. I need to give them a try even though I spent hours moving @FacesConverter classes from CDI beans to JSF Managed beans...during this migration to CDI. So, please advise on whether I should use @ViewAccessScoped; pros, cons, promote/hinder performance, etc... OR, should I move to CDI @RequestScoped, ASAP
Re: Migration to TomEE/CDI complete, regression testing, ViewAccessScoped
Interesting and thanks for letting me know. I thought I read somewhere that CDI (or 'OpenWebBeans') has this ability that you're talking about, but when I read about it earlier, i didn't see it referred as @WindowScoped. Good to know, but the endusers have been trained to 'only' use Google Chrome, and no need of opening multiple browser tabs/windows.
