EJB an MDB best practices on WebLogic Cluster
2Recently I did an audit on a WebLogic 11g platform of one of our customers. There were many problems with the availability of their JAVA Applications. Some of the problems we’re platform related ( installation, configuration and infrastructure related) but a lot of them already existed in an earlier stage at application programming and configuration level.
So I decided to bundle some tips for JAVA programmers how they should configure their EJB, MDB and Servlet applications when they will be deployed on a WebLogic cluster.
This is an example of a typical EJB application architecture in WebLogic Server:
Some hints and tips:
Create simple Java application to post JSON message to CometD Bayeux Channel using Apache HttpClient and Maven style NetBeans project
0The objective discussed in this article is to post messages to a CometD Bayeux Channel with a standalone Java Class – without dependencies on CometD. For example to control from Java the Slideshow introduced in the synchronized Slideshow demo application created using CometD (see previous articles Push based synchronized Slideshow demo application implemented using CometD and jQuery running on Tomcat and Publishing to CometD Bayeux Channel from inside the Oracle Database – PL/SQL based push to CometD Web Client ).
This article describes the creation of a simple Java Class leveraging Apache HttpClient to post HTTP requests (JSON messages) to a CometD Bayeux Channel. The main point is to show working code with the lest dependencies, not an optimal program (it is far from optimal). The article demonstrates how NetBeans and Maven conspire here to make the task as simple as possible. The Maven support in NetBeans allows me to simply create a new Maven style project of (arche)type Java Application.
Publishing to CometD Bayeux Channel from inside the Oracle Database – PL/SQL based push to CometD Web Client
1In recent articles, I have introduced CometD as framework for Server to Client and Client to Client Push: Running CometD 2 examples – locally on Tomcat using Maven and NetBeans http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14709/running-cometd-2-examples-locally-on-tomcat-using-maven-and-netbeans, CometD 2 Java Client Sample – open project in NetBeans based on Maven pom file, modify sources and run Java Based Comet Client (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14720/cometd-2-java-client-sample-open-project-in-netbeans-based-on-maven-pom-file-modify-sources-and-run-java-based-comet-client) and Push based synchronized Slideshow demo application implemented using CometD and jQuery running on Tomcat (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14870/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-demo-application-implemented-using-cometd-and-jquery-running-on-tomcat).
CometD allows web clients (or stand alone Java clients) to subscribe to Bayeux channels maintained by the CometD Server (Servlet). These clients can publish messages to the channels and CometD will deliver the messages to all or to selected clients – in a push-fashion. This makes it possible to push messages from the Java server side of a web application to web More >
Stand-alone Java Client for jWebSocket Server – communicating from Java Client to Web Clients and vice versa over WebSockets
0In a previous article, I have discussed the open source jWebSocket Server and a simple installation and configuration (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14940/first-steps-with-jwebsocket-open-source-java-framework-for-websockets-installation-and-running-samples). Subsequently, I have shown the implementation of a web client for a synchronized Slideshow application, where WebSocket communication is used to perform Client 2 Client push (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14949/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-jwebsocket-server-the-open-source-java-websocket-server). In a third article I have explained how jWebSocket server can be integrated with a Java application that can start the server and interact with it (http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14973/implementing-a-java-server-side-component-for-jwebsocket-server-for-websocket-interaction-with-web-clients). Finally in this article I demonstrate how a stand alone Java Client can connect to a ‘remote’ jWebSocket server and open WebSocket interactions with it.
The functionality realized in this article is a simple Java application that listens to slide selection events as pushed from the clients More >
Implementing a Java Server Side component for jWebSocket Server for WebSocket interaction with Web Clients
4In a previous post – http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14949/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-jwebsocket-server-the-open-source-java-websocket-server – I discussed the implementation of the synchronized slideshow application using Web (HTML/JavaScript) clients and jWebSocket as websocket server. In an earlier article, I described the same for the Kaazing WebSocket server – http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14777/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-kaazing-websocket-gateway – and both stories are (fortunately) fairly similar. In the Kaazing article I also described a Java based Server Side ‘client’ or ‘WebSocket interaction partner’. In the jWebSocket article, that part was missing and in this article I will rectify that.
This article will describe how a Java application can integrate with jWebSocket server – in fact: start the server from within the Java code -and subsequently register listeners that intercept WebSocket communication from other interaction partners such as Web clients. The Java application can also send messages to specific clients or broadcast to all clients. This article More >
Push-based synchronized slideshow web application – implemented using WebSockets and jWebSocket server – the open source Java WebSocket server
2In a recent article, I have introduced jWebSocket – an open source Java based server for WebSocket communication: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14940/first-steps-with-jwebsocket-open-source-java-framework-for-websockets-installation-and-running-samples. In this article, I have described how to download and install the jWebSocket server and how to get going with running some of the distributed samples.
In another recent article, I looked at the implementation of a slideshow application where multiple web clients are mutually synchronized using WebSocket based communication using the Kaazing commercial Web Socket Gateway: http://technology.amis.nl/blog/14777/push-based-synchronized-slideshow-web-application-implemented-using-websockets-and-kaazing-websocket-gateway.
In this article, I will implement that same Slideshow application as with Kaazing, this time using the jWebSocket server as my underlying WebSocket infrastructure. It turns out that no server side configuration is required for this initial, somewhat naive implementation that does not use a specific channel but simply has all clients of the jWebSocket server participate in the communication. A more advanced set up would More >
