Introduction
This document explains the procedure to develop and deploy a J2EE web application which adheres to the AJAX (GWT), spring and Hibernate Framework. Advantages of using GWT, spring and Hibernate Framework Eradicates performance issue Good UI presentation Code maintainability and less lines of codes to get functionality done. GUI and Server code can be written separately. MVC architecture. Efficient logging
Setting up the environment

Setting up GWT module and folder structure
Setting up the GWT

After installing GWT plug-in one will have following icon in Eclipse
Click on highlighted icon
.It opens web application set up wizard
Enter project Name and package For instance Project Name demopro and com.bt.demo Folder structure created in eclipse workspace looks like
Developing & Deploying J2EE Application Containsdata, js using images, and GWT GWT Spring and Hibernate
module xml to start application locally.
Contains client code such as GUI Pojo class, GUI constants class, GUI utility class Contains JUnit/test classes for GWT service and impl Java System Library (5 and above) Contains compiled classes (src) and WEB-INF. Here complied classes means translation of GWT code into lightweight Javascript.
Contains all jars required by application Having GWT -ext in application Make folder inside com.bt.demo public jsext Copy highlighted folder and files form ext-2.0.2 inside ext folder. In public folder, one can create img, data folder to have customized image other than provided by GWT Data folder is required to keep stubbed response xml received from server.
Copy highlighted folders and files to public/js/ext Note:-public, js, ext folder need to be created before copying
For integrated application (GWT + spring + Hibernate)
Hibernat e resource s files
ApplicationContext. xml contains Hibernate configuration for local environment; weblogic environment and Bean definition.
8
Can be set as welcome page and loading message
WAR to deploy
Build.xml to build war for deployment on 10 weblogic 10.0
GWT Module xml Developing GWT Module xml start of Application
Give Application main/entry point class name (located in client package)
Above xml, gets created using New Web Application Project In this need to inherit module getting used in application like gwt-user.jar (available in xml -default) How to inherit GWTExt? gwtext.jar should be in classpath of project, expanding jar in eclipse.
11
So in inherit name would be com.gwtext.G wtExt
Therefore to inherit this module, need to write as Developing welcome html page for application
BRASInterface.htm l BRASInterface.css
Above html and css, gets created using Modifications done by developer are: Instead of below default code
New Web Application Project
12
Can be replacing by loading message, loading image, title can be customized according to app name
13
Writing UI code, Service (RPC mechanism) and its implementation

Requirement: To fetch records from Oracle Database, pass the response to GUI, read it and display on GUI. Technology used: GWT RPC mechanism Spring application context, wiring and bean factory Hibernate for table mapping and querying database
For GWT RPC service, serviceAysnc and serviceImpl are required. Naming convention Service is GenerateBRASHistoryService so append Async to get GenerateBRASHistoryServiceAsync and its implementation would be GenerateBRASHistoryServiceImpl, append impl after service. Method convention Need to write logic for fetching records from database for instance consider this method: Signature for above method in Service class Signature for above method in ServiceAsync.class Why such naming convention? Service class will have method to be implemented and specific return type, one wants to return to GUI. ServiceAsync class will always have return type void and have same signature, it will add AsyncCallback ServiceImpl class will implement above method and return type would be as expected by Service class
14
GenerateBRASHistoryService.java (located in shared. service package)
GenerateBRASHistoryServiceAsync.java (located in shared. service package)
15
GenerateBRASHistoryServiceImpl.java (located in server. service)
16
How Service, ServiceAsync and ServiceImpl are tied together with web.xml of application and Spring? Integration has been done by using spring4gwt-0.0.1 jar Servlet name as indicated in web.xml is mapped to services and html is set as welcome file for app.
17
And these URL pattern has mapped to Service class using Spring annotation @RemoteServiceRelativePath as shown in below code
Flow control goes to ServiceImpl class using spring annotation @Service
Flow goes to business logic implementation and completing processing it returns to ServiceSync class which gets called in GUI as below:
where AsyncCallback is anonymous class which would handle failure and success of incoming request
18
19
Business Logic involves integration of Hibernate with Spring

In applicationContext database and hibernate config as follows(local environment)
Datasource and Hibernate configuration for local settings
Give location of Hibernate resources
In applicationContext database and hibernate cofig as follows (weblogic environment)
20
Datasource and Hibernate configuration for weblogic settings
Give location of Hibernate resources
At weblogic 10.0 JNDI created
datasource bean is referenced in sessionFactory bean block and this sessionFactory gets called in serviceImpl class using Spring annotation @Autowired
And applicationContext gets called from web.xml
21
DAO provides sessionFactory to serviceImpl class using Spring annotation @Repositry, @Autowired
Now remaining with fetching of records using Hibernate mapping and DTO. DTO is pojo class and mapping file does ORM Object Relation Mapping with pojo class and tables in Oracle Database.DTO gets used in serviceImpl class to write query as Java object.
22
One of Hibernate mapping xml located resources/Hibernate source folder
23
Response at GUI looks like

24
Paging in GWT Obtaining application context in code (feature of Spring) (feature) Using ApplicationContextProvider Class and bean definition in applicationContext
25
And in code get the appContext using ApplicationContextProvider.getApplicationContext();
Injecting HttpServletRequest in ServiceImpl class using Spring (feature of Spring ) For this web.xml contains
and serviceImpl class one can have request using @autowired
Debugging by using log4j Keep Log4j.xml in source folder of project and have
26
Deploying the .WAR file to the Web-logic
Create a User defined web-logic configuration

We create a user defined web-logic configuration, so that we could have our requirement specific configurations. Go to Start -> All Programs -> BEA -> Tools -> Configuration Wizard
27
Click on Configuration Wizard
28
Click on Next and then select Generate a domain
29
Enter the user-defined username/password
30
Select the option Sun SDK 1.5.0_11 Note: We could also use any version of JDK.
31
Select NO
32
Enter the name and location for the domain and then click on Create
33
Setting up the User-defined Admin Console and server as per the requirement
Start the Admin Server
34
Once the server is in RUNNING MODE, open the Admin server Console and enter your credentials
35
Defining JNDI
Click on Services -> JDBC -> Data Sources Click on Lock & Edit button on upper left hand corner ( to enable the button) Click on New Button
36
Enter the details like Name ( JDBC DataSource Name) JNDI Name ( this name would be referred in ApplicationContext.xml) Database Type Database driver & click on Next
37
Choose the transactional options & click on Next
38
Enter the following details:

39
Database Name Host Name Port Database user name Password
Check the details enter and click on Test Configuration button

40
Note: In the Test Table Name column, enter a valid SQL statement prefixed with SQL
On success
Choose the target server and click on Finish

41
On receiving the confirmation message, click on Activate Changes button.
42
The changes would be activated and specified if restart of the server is required or not.
43
To monitor, if the Data source is working, click on Data Source Name and select the Monitoring tab
44
Click on the Monitoring tab and then select the Testing sub-tab. Select the Admin server and then click on Test Data Source button
We get the above mentioned error. To avoid the above error, below steps Click on Lock and Edit Select the Configuration tab. Click on the Advanced icon Check the Test Connections on Reserve Click on Save button Activate the changes
follow
the
45
46
Again do the steps involved in ix, we get the confirmation message
47
Setting the logging in web-logic (log 4j)

In the left-hand corner, up > click on the View changes and restart hyperlink Select the Restart Checklist tab Click on the Server name In the Configuration tab, select the Server start sub-tab In Class-path column add the entries of jars antlr-2.7.6.jar; D:\bea\user_projects\BRASInterface_domain\BRASInterface\lib\lo g4j-1.2.15.jar; D:\bea\user_projects\BRASInterface_domain\BRASInterface\lib\wl log4j.jar; Note: These jars should placed in the user defined project lib directory In the Arguments section, add the below entry -Dweblogic.log.Log4jLoggingEnabled=true
Click on Save button. (This action will require a restart of server)
48
In the main tab of Server, select the logging tab Click on the Advanced icon Select the logging implementation as Log4j
Click on Save button. (This action will require a restart of server)
49
Deploying the WAR file into the server

Click on the Deployments link with in the Domain Structure
50
On Click of the Install button in the screen, select the location of the WAR file & click on Next
Choose targeting style ( since we are deploying a web-application, we choose the first option) & click on Next
51
Click on Finish
Click on Activate changes.
52
Now, the application is in Prepared state Select the Application, and click on the Start drop-down, there select the Servicing all requests option.
The application is now in Active state and able to access
53
To test the application Select the application Click on Testing tab Click on the URL available The application would open up in a browser.
