This post worked excellent for me.

MessageDialogWithToggle

If you want add some confirmation dialogs to your rcp project, you should look at MessageDialogWithToggle jface component. By using this component, you can save user's preferences for the next time your window open. So user can choose not to being prompted anymore. You can do a message dialog like Eclipse's Confirm Exit message dialog which contains a checkbox ( "Always Exit Without Prompt"). Or simply you can use this component to add a checkbox to MessageDialog component.

A tutorial for Spring,Hibernate,JSF,Richfaces

Post is moved to here

Sample Spring,Hibernate,JSF,Richfaces Application

MOTIVATION

In this basic tutorial, I tried to show how spring, hibernate, jsf, richfaces can be used together as a working example. Sources can be downloaded at the end of page.

I am working about 3 days to configure Spring,Hibernate,JSF,Facelets,Richfaces all in one as a maven project with maven jetty plugin. Now it s time to share this configuration as a working example.

First lets look at root pom.xml
ROOT pom.xml

blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.domain.User class is entity class and it will be persisted to mysql database with hibernate. Because User class using hibernate annotation , instead of xml mapping files, Spring's AnnotationSessionFactoryBean is used for building Session Factory bean. A datasource is defined and defined as a property to sessionFactory bean.
User class is given as a parameter to annotatedClass list property. Here you must add your annotated classes which will be persisted to database.
And another property is hibernateProperties which is actually arguments to hibernate. Here "default schema" is defined as "exampleproject" and hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto set to "update". It means hibernate will update database schema reading hibernate annotated entity classes like "User" class. There is no hbm.xml map files but its names stay same, actually everything done with annotation. So at first, you need to create an empty database schema (create database exampleproject) in mysql database and hibernate will take care of rest.
Actually we can move hibernateProperties property of sessionFactory bean to a file which is named "hibernate.properties" but to keep space minimum it is written inside of dao-context.xml.

• User.java
  

package blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.domain;

import java.io.Serializable;

import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

@Entity
@Table(name="User")
public class User implements Serializable{

private Long id;

private String username;
private String password;

@Id
@GeneratedValue
public Long getId() {
return id;
}

public void setId(Long id) {
this.id = id;
}

public String getUsername() {
return username;
}

public void setUsername(String username) {
this.username = username;
}

public String getPassword() {
return password;
}

public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}

}

User class is a basic entity with email, password fields and accessor methods. id attribute is defined as unique identifier for User entity by @Id annotation. Accessor for id is getId() method. Here ids are generating and managing by hibernate. @GeneratedValue annotation can be used for defining id generation strategy but we leave it default here.

main-Context.xml corresponds to Spring's applications classic application-context.xml but we moved entity definition, database and hibernate configurations to dao-Context.xml so we start with importing it.
Every class in service layer has its own interface so UserService interface defined with single createUser method. userService bean is defined with concrete UserServiceImpl class and sessionFactory which is defined in dao-Context.xml before is injected with constructor injection.
Hibernate needs transactions.Without transactions you can't write anything to database.Thanks to aspects transaction behaviour of exampleproject defined easily.A transaction manager bean is defined and sessionFactory instance is given via setter injection.Secondly an advice is defined which says all methods starts with get(like getUserName ...) in a transaction is readonly and other metods are in default transaction behaviour. Critical point is defining where to apply advice in short pointcuts. With aspect expression we define pointcuts for every class under blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.core.service package which is actually service layer.

• UserService.java
  

package blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.service;
public interface UserService {

void createUser(String username,String password);

}

• UserServiceImpl.java
  

package blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.service.impl;

import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

import blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.dao.GenericDaoImpl;
import blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.domain.User;
import blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.service.UserService;

public class UserServiceImpl implements UserService{

private SessionFactory m_sessionFactory;
private GenericDaoImpl<User,Long> userDao;

public UserServiceImpl(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
m_sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
userDao = new GenericDaoImpl<User, Long>(m_sessionFactory){};
}

public void createUser(String username, String password) {
User user = null;
if(username!=null){
user = new User();
user.setUsername(username);
user.setPassword(password);
  userDao.makePersistent(user);
}
}
}

Here Dao pattern is used with generics support. A GenericDaoImpl instance is created for User entity and persisted with makePersistent method which is actually a single line: getSession().saveOrUpdate(entity).

• GenericDao.java
  

package blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.dao;
package blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.dao;

import java.io.Serializable;

public interface GenericDao<T extends Serializable,ID extends Serializable>{
T makePersistent(T entity);
}

• GenericDaoImpl.java
  

package blogspot.sezera.exampleproject.dao;

import java.io.Serializable;
import org.hibernate.Session;
import org.hibernate.SessionFactory;

public abstract class GenericDaoImpl<T extends Serializable,ID extends Serializable> implements
GenericDao<T,ID>{

private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

public GenericDaoImpl(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
this.sessionFactory = sessionFactory;
}

public T makePersistent(T entity) {
getSession().saveOrUpdate(entity);
return entity;
}

protected Session getSession() {
return sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
}
}

Now we have everything in core side to create a User. So moving to web project.

ResourceBundle bundle = ResourceBundle.getBundle("messages",arg0.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().getLocale());
FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage(bundle.getString("emailNotValid"));
throw new ValidatorException(msg);
}

}
}

To validate user email address when creating user I have created a basic EmailValidator. It validates if user email address contains "@". If not a ValidatorException is thrown.

HOW TO RUN EXAMPLEPROJECT

• download source codes without jars.
  
• mvn clean install under root directory
• create an empty database named "exampleproject" in mysql
  
• Under exampleproject.web execute: mvn jetty:run
• http://localhost:8080/exampleproject.web/newUser.faces

NOTE:Attention to url extension is .faces NOT .xhtml. It must be same as url-pattern of Faces Servlet Mapping in web.xml.

Shared Configuration In Eclipse

I realized that even if you don't do anything for shared configuration scenario as described eclipse doc,Eclipse can manage multi users by default. You need to be sure that your default configuration folder( which has config.ini inside of it)of your RCP application is read-only to every user except that root. You have 1 installation for your RCP app and every user can execute the same app. By default, when your RCP app can't write to configuration folder, it creates 2 folder inside of user (who executed app) home directory. 1 for workspace settings and the other for .eclipse folder.
.eclipse/your RCP product/configuration/config.ini is created automatically too. If you look inside of it :
osgi.sharedConfiguration.area=file\:configuration/
It basicly has a link to shared configuration area which is by default configuration folder in RCP product installation. So only root can install plug-in s and every user executed RCP app can see new plugs but cant uninstall or disable and install new plugs.

jsp and one last goodbye

damn you jsp.I have studied almost 2 month about jsp/servlet technology to pass the scwcd exam.
Although i am not interested in web component development, i thought that i have to learn jsp technology.But things doesnt work like that.We dont need to follow technology we need to follow what is behind technology.(saint john locke smile here).now my favorites are java server faces and facelets.damn you jsp.Who likes java inside html nowadays?No thanks.I lost my appetence.Maybe after after years now somebody thinks in the same way we think for jsp/servlet for server faces and facelets.(yes this is the rule of development the big truth ladder always go forward) or maybe not. Maybe development is not a simple ladder. We are out of our imagination and we only hope to develop always.And the truht beside us something really different.Year 2099.There is no java! damn you jsp i told you not to be so bad.I hope we can leave something for future a bit of thing.There will no books to write us but internet can save us for hundreds of years too.But who knows maybe we dont need internet in 2099?Damn i am so desperate.See you in another life brother.

Search For Meaning

Hakia is new search engine for meaningful searches. It is beta right now but i think it will develop and be popular quickly because it can answer intelligent questions like : what is the meaning of life:)) Or sth more beneficial : Has anyone seen Dane Cook commercials?. like its main page says.

F:\RECYCLER\RECYLER

Yesterday i noticed my usb doesn't open correctly with double-click.
Kaspersky anti-virus doesnt find anything when i scanned it.In its logs it says it checked sth like F:\RECYCLER\RECYCLER and some files under it.But when i open my usb with explorer i couldnt see them.So i went to command shell in windows and typed

>ls -al
>rm -f -r RECYCLER

and what is it now gone.

I can open my usb with double-click now.

Example ivy settings.xml for artifactory repository

Below you can find settings.xml for your project.It defines dependencies for ivy.


And artifactory directory structure is like that:



Point that dependency is written like
javax/faces
NOT
javax.faces

in settings.xml

http://myserverip:port/artifactory/repo/javax/faces/jsf-api/1.1_02/jsf-api-1.1_02.jar

in ivysettings.xml

[organisation] = javax/faces
[module] = jsf-api
[revision] = 1.1_02
[artifact]-[revision].[ext] = jsf-api-1.1_02.jar

in settings.xml

[org] = javax/faces
[name] = jsf-api
[rev] = 1.1_02

Previously i wrote that artifactory can't download artifacts when I build project with ant-ivy.I realized that I should write dependencies like javax/faces NOT javax.faces.

Example ivy ivysettings.xml for artifactory repository

You can find below how you need to define your ivysettings.xml for your artifactory repository.

How to create project directory structure with maven archetype plugin

Nowadays i am working on a new dynamic web project which uses spring-hibernate-richfaces trio.My first task to set up development environment of project.It involves many steps.I will write sth about it occasionally.

Here I will use Maven Archetype plugin to create directory structure of my project.Assume that dynamic webproject has 3 directory initially.

core
web
security

Because we will created an internal artifactory repository and configured it we dont care about jars anymore.Project will be simply involves java classes,resources like gifs,jpegs for web side,and our pom.xmls.Jars will reside in M2_REPO which is = Your home\.m2\repository as default.

1.Create an empty directory e.g myproject
2.Go inside it
3.write in command prompt

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.myproject.core
-DartifactId=myproject-core -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart

It will create myproject-core directory.

4.write in command prompt

mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.myproject.web
-DartifactId=myproject-web -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-webapp

It will create myproject-web directory.

5..write in command prompt

mvn archetype:create-DgroupId=com.mycompany.myproject.security
-DartifactId=myproject-security-DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart

It will create myproject-security directory.

Ant -Maven War:Ivy on the battlefield

Ivy is the new graduated dependency manager from Apache Ant project which is counterattack to Apache Maven project .
Which option is good for you?
Using ant as a build tool and then configure it via ivy maven-like behavior?Or
Using maven as a build tool and then use maven-ant tasks to get ant-like behavior?
You can find comparision of this tools in their website from 2 different perspectives.
It s up to you choose one of them.But in our internal repository server example I didnt correctly configure ivy to get jars from repository. Ivy can download jars from my repository if they are there.But if there are no jars to download artifactory can't get jars from internet which is default behaviour when I use maven.Maybe i can find answer or maybe I must use maven and ant tasks simply.who knows?But i like this war.

Example maven settings.xml for artifactory repository

maven settings.xml file may look like this picture
xx.xx.xx.xx :stands for internal server ip address

Configuring an internal maven repository with artifactory in Linux server

After you have successfully started artifactory service as root you need to go

http://localhost:8081/artifactory OR in our case
http://[serverip]:[serverport]/artifactory

[serverport] : Artifactory comes with an artifactory.war file.When you start artifactory service it deploys it to jetty server which comes with artifactory.So serverport must point to used webserver default port where artifactory.war is deployed. Here in this case it is 8081 for jetty.For tomcat it 8080 as you forecast.

For first-time admin log in
username :admin
password :password

If you can't log in try to reinstall artifactory.May be some files that you dont know and already exists there override default behaviour which is extremely rare case but take my 4 hours.Be sure that files are yours and clean.

Now you successfully log in to web ui of artifactory.You can deploy your jars,versioning it,do some security settings here.It is the easy part to do.

But it is not the end. We want some behaviour from artifactory repository:

We want artifactory to download needed jars for our project on our internal server so each team member can download jars from internal server and don't have to go Maven Repository or other repositories on the internet. If server doesnt find needed jar on itself It (Server!) download jars on itself after maven command executed by one of the team members.

We should do some configuration to get these behaviour.

Setting up an internal maven repository with artifactory in Linux server

First of all i assume that you login as a root to linux.It s neccessary to be root for executing service.

./install.sh [arg1] : This is expected to install artifactory as a linux service. [arg1] is the username of the JETTY_USER.Default is jetty.If you want to override (what i do) you can pass it an argument.(like artifactory)

my ARTIFACTORY_HOME is:
/opt/artifactory

and under ARTIFACTORY_HOME there is etc folder.Under etc execute

vi default

It should like this:
************************
#!/bin/sh

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jre1.5.0_14
export JAVA_OPTIONS="-server -Xms400m -Xmx1g"

export ARTIFACTORY_HOME=/opt/artifactory

export JETTY_USER=artifactory

export JETTY_CONSOLE=${ARTIFACTORY_HOME}/logs/consoleout.log
*************************
JAVA_HOME should point to your jre folder.
JETTY_CONSOLE is where you can find log when artifactory start or may be failed to start which means 1.5 days for me.

Because my JETTY_USER is 'artifactory' there must be a user setting in /etc/init.d/artifactory.
This /etc/init.d/artifactory user MUST have read/write access to artifactory folder.So i suggest you to as a begginner in /opt/artifactory folder and simply write

chmod -R 777 *

and give full access to everybody just for beginning.You can easily configure it when you became more familiar to artifactory/linux/maven blah blah issues.

and here we go
we want to start artifactory via:
service artifactory start

If it says what the hell artifactory service is it means you did sth wrong so stop here and go steps above.Look at /opt/artifactory/etc/default file to check settings are correct.

I suggest you to open another session to linux server before executing start artifactory service and go to /opt/artifactory/logs folder
write :
tail -f consoleout.log
to see what is going on there

If it is successfully started you are lucky:) Almost every try i have a problem so be patient.

There are popular known errors:
java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to read object from stream.
Failed to execute JcrCallback : FileNotFoundException on tmp file


I hope you successfully installed artifactory and now you can configure it.

The way of testivus

Good test fails
The pupil went to the master programmer and said:
“All my tests pass all the time. Don’t I deserve a raise?”
The master slapped the pupil and replied:
“If all your tests pass, all the time, you need to write better tests.”
With a red cheek, the pupil went to HR to complain.
But that’s another story.

Enjoy the way of testivus in www.junitfactory.com . Write tests write tests tests tests...........

Interesting java compiler errors#1

public class Test2 {
public enum Dogs {collie, harrier, shepherd};
public static void main(String [] args) {
Dogs myDog = Dogs.shepherd;
switch (myDog) {
case Dogs.collie:
System.out.print("collie ");
default:
System.out.print("retriever ");
case harrier:
System.out.print("harrier ");
}
}
}
what is the error?
an enum switch case label must be the unqualified name of an enumeration constant
