What is Framework?
□ In information systems environment, a framework is
a defined support structure in which other software
applications can be organized and developed.
□ A software framework is a reusable design and
building blocks for a software system and/or
subsystem
What is Framework? (cont.)
□ In an object-oriented environment, a framework
consists of abstract and concrete classes.
Instantiation of such a framework consists of
composing and subclassing the existing classes
□ Software frameworks rely on the Hollywood
Principle: "Don’t call us, we’ll call you."
What is Framework? (cont.)
Why we use Framework?
□ The software frameworks significantly reduce the
amount of time, effort, and resources required to
develop and maintain applications.

What is WAF?
□ A Web Application Framework (WAF) is a reusable,
skeletal, semi-complete modular platform that can
be specialized to produce custom web
applications , which commonly serve the web
browsers via the Http's protocol.
□ WAF usually implements the Model-View-Controller
(MVC) design pattern, typically in the Model 2
architecture to develop request-response webbased applications on the Java EE and .Net
models.
What is WAF? (cont.)
□ Model 1 Architecture

□ Model 2 Architecture
Model-View-Controller
Why we use WAF?
□ Virtually all web applications have a common set of
basic requirements, such as user management e.g.,
secure user login, password recovery), group
management, and access authorization.
□ A Web Application Framework usually includes all
these functionalities, refined through hundreds of
production deployments, freeing developers to
focus on the needs of their specific application.
Why we use WAF?
□ WAFs store important data in a relational database
and they interact with users via a web-based user
interface.
□ Any application written on top of a Web
Application Framework can transparently and
immediately take advantage of these basic
services.

Request-based Framework
□ A Request-based Framework is very close to the
original CGI specification.
□ It uses controllers and actions that directly handle
incoming requests.
□ Each request is essentially stateless.

Struts
□ Struts was originally developed by Craig
McClanahan and donated to the Apache
Foundation in May 2000.
□ Struts has been a de facto framework with a strong
and vibrant user community.
Struts (cont.)
□ Struts uses and extends the Java Servlet API to
adopt the "Model 2" approach, a variation of the
classic Model-View-Controller (MVC) design
pattern.

Struts HTML Tags
□ The tags in the Struts HTML library form a bridge
between a JSP view and the other components of
a Web application.
□ Since a dynamic Web application often depends
on gathering data from a user, input forms play an
important role in the Struts framework

□ Conclusion
WebWork
□ WebWork was originally developed by Rickard
Oberg in 2001, and released as an open source
project on SourceForge in March 2002.
□ WebWork provides robust support for building
reusable UI templates, such as form controls, UI
themes, internationalization, dynamic form
parameter mapping to JavaBeans, and robust
client and server side validation.
Component-based Framework

□ Hybrid – Meta Framework
□ RIA-based Framework
□ Conclusion
Component-based Framework
□ A Component-based Framework abstracts the
internals of the request handling and encapsulates
the logic into reusable components, often
independent from the web medium
□ The state is automatically handled by the
framework, based on the data that is present in
each component instance.
□ Together with some form of event handling, this
development model is very similar to the features
offered by desktop GUI toolkits.

Jave Server Faces (JSF)
□ JavaServer Faces (JSF) is a server-side user interface
component framework for Java-based Web
applications.
□ JSF contains an API for representing UI components
and managing their state; handling events, serverside validation, and data conversion; defining page
navigation; supporting internationalization and
accessibility; and providing extensibility for all these
features

State Management
□ JSF maintains the state of components
over several requests.
□ Example 1
□ Example 2
□ Code:
□ None Required
Event Handling
□ Method Bindings
<h:outputText value=“#{bundle.welcome}”
rendered=“#{bean.showWelcome}”/>
□ Value Change Listeners
<h:selectOneMenu value=“#{bean.type}” onchange=“submit()”
immediate=“true” valueChangeListener=“#{bean.change}”>
<f:selectItems value=“#{bean.types}”>
</h:selectOneMenu>
□ Command Actions
<h:commandButton action=“#{bean.submit}”/>
□ Action Listeners
<h:commandButton actionListener=“#{bean.listen}”
action=“#{bean.submit}”/>
Input Validation
□ Standard Validators
□ <h:inputText id=“card”
value=“#{bean.card}” required=“true”>
<f:validateLength minimum=“13”/>
</h:inputText>
□ f:validateDoubleRange
□ f:validateLongRange
□ f:validateLength
□ Custom Validators
Input Validation - Errors
□ Validation Errors
□ <h:message for=“card”/>
□ <h:messages/>
Input Validation - Converters
□ Standard Converters
□ <h:inputText value=“bean.date”>
<f:convertDateTime
pattern=“MM/dd/yyyy”/>
</h:inputText>
□ f:convertNumber
□ f:convertDateTime
□ Custom Converters
□ <h:inputText value=“bean.user”
converter=“com.ihc.custom”>
Page Navigation
□ Struts-like config file navigation
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>/index.jsp</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>Success</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/thankyou.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>Error</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/error.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
Internationalization and
accessibility
□ Components and Converters support multiple
locales
□ Resource Bundle Support
□ <f:loadBundle basename="resources" var="res"/>
□ Define supported locales
<application>
<message-bundle>resources</message-bundle>
<locale-config>
<default-locale>en</default-locale>
<supported-locale>fr</supported-locale>
<supported-locale>es</supported-locale>
</locale-config>
</application>

Deployment

Components and Renderers
Validation
Bundle Keys “x.y.z”
Deployment
□ BEA WebLogic Server 8.1 SP3
□ The JavaServer Faces required jars
□
□
□
□
□
□
□
□
commons-beanutils.jar
commons-collections.jar
commons-digester.jar
commons-logging.jar
jsf-api.jar
jsf-impl.jar
jstl.jar (must be version 1.0)
standard.jar (must be version 1.0)
Embedding HTML
□ HTML within JSF tags does not work
without f:verbatim
<h:panelGroup>
<f:verbatim>html</f:verbatim>
</h:panelGroup>
□ Use Exadels htmLib.jar instead
Components and Renderers
□ Building custom components
□ No simple task
□ Separate the renderer (easy to do)
Validation
□ If validation or conversion fails nothing
happens
□ Action method bindings do not execute
□ Page just comes back
□ Most common JSF forum post
□ Use h:message or h:messages
Bundle Keys “x.y.z”
□ Resource Bundles are loaded as maps
□ #{bundle.userslastname} – works
□ #{bundle.user.name.last} – fails
□ #{bundle[‘user.name.last’]} – works
□ For properties:
□ #{bean.user.address.street} – works
Tool Support
□ Most IDEs have limited JSF support
Eclipse*
IntelliJ*
JBuilder
IBM WSAD
Studio Creator JDeveloper
Netbeans*
Notepad**
□ The following IDEs provide the ability to
drag and drop components onto a
page:
□
□
□
□
IBM WSAD
Borland JBuilder
Oracle JDeveloper
Sun Java Studio Creator
MyEclipse – Drag and Drop
Political Support
□ Sun
□ Oracle
□ IBM
□ …and a bunch of little people but
after those three it really doesn’t
matter
