Creating a sample Java EE 6 Blog Application with JPA, EJB, CDI, JSF and Primefaces on GlassFish

Tue, 08 Feb 2011 00:00:00 +0100

Java EE 6 is out and it indeed offers an interesting stack of technologies. So in today’s tutorial we are going to build a small sample web application that builds on this stack using Enterprise JavaBeans, Java Persistence API, Bean Validation, CDI and finally Java Server Faces and PrimeFaces.

The application we’re going to develop is a simple blog app that allows us to create new articles, list them and – finally delete them. We’re also covering some additional topics like JSF navigation, i18n, Ajax-enabled components and the deployment on the GlassFish application server.

You want to add some validation logic to your Java beans? You want to achieve this with some shiny extendable annotations? Then give the Java Bean Validation standard aka JSR-303 a try..

We’re going to use the reference implementation for bean validation, Hibernate Validator in this tutorial but there are also links to other alternatives like Oval or Apache Bean Validation.

So let’s begin and validate some stuff ..
