Richard Hightower's List: Java EE 6

• These tutorials cover JSF 2 using the Mojarra JavaServer Faces implementation and Apache Tomcat 6, but all of the code should run  equally well with Apache MyFaces 2.0 (on any servlet 2.5 server) or on any Java EE 6 server.  JSF 2 is dramatically better than JSF 1 in almost every way, and is both more powerful and easier to use.  However, if your company is already developing in JSF 1 and is not yet ready to upgrade,  the JSF 1.x tutorials cover JSF 1 with Apache MyFaces.  Click on a topic below to get the detailed tutorial for that topic, download the section's source code as an Eclipse project,   see exercises, or get the exercise solutions.

• IMHO, at the moment, the strengh of Spring over Java EE is automated unit testing. To test EJB3 Session beans you need 

  • Either do "in container testing" (ala Cactus), but it's painful and ugly
  • Or have an embedded JavaEE container (JBoss and Glassfish can do that), but configuring it may be complicated and starting/stopping before/after each test may be slow
  • Or simulate a JavaEE container with other technologies (EJB3Unit, Guice, Spring...), but you won't get the real container behaviour
• ...or use: openEJB or even plain mockito :-).  Testing EJB 3 is actually very efficient - even without additional tools or frameworks.

  Give OpenEJB or EasyBeans a try for unit/integration testing: http://openejb.apache.org. That's what I use for my Java EE 5 projects. The startup and shutdown has typical performance in the sub-second range. I am told the JBoss folks are working to scale down the Embeddded JBoss tool once it gets out of beta mode (which it is still currently in).
