JSF 2.3: UIData improvements

UIData improvements

In JSF 2.3, <h:dataTable/> and <ui:repeat /> support Iterable and Map.

Iterable example

Let's create a simple demo to try it.
The backing bean.
@Model
public class IterableBean {
    
    @Inject Logger LOG;

    private Iterable data = Arrays.asList("javaee 8", "jsf 2.3");

    public Iterable getData() {
        LOG.log(Level.INFO, "called IterableBean.getData");
        return data;
    }

}
And the faclets template.

        </h:head>
        <h:body>
            <h1>JSF 2.3: Iterable interface Sample</h1>

            <h2> h:dataTable Iterable interface</h2>
            <h:dataTable var="entry" value="#{iterableBean.data}">
                <h:column>#{entry}</h:column>
            </h:dataTable>
            <h2> ui:repeat Iterable interface</h2>
            <ui:repeat var="item" value="#{iterableBean.data}">
                Item: #{item}
            </ui:repeat>
        </h:body> 
    </f:view>
</html>

Map example

The backing bean.
@Model
public class MapBean {

    @Inject
    Logger LOG;

    private Map<Integer, String> data = new HashMap<>();

    public Map<Integer, String> getData() {
        LOG.log(Level.INFO, "called MapBean.getData");
        data.put(1, "java ee 8");
        data.put(2, "jsf 2.3");
        return data;
    }

}
And the facelets template.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" 
      xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
      xmlns:ui="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/facelets"

      xmlns:h="http://xmlns.jcp.org/jsf/html"

        <h:head>
            <title>JSF 2.3: DataModel Sample</title>
        </h:head>
        <h:body>
            <h1>JSF 2.3:Map interface Sample</h1>

            <h2> UIRepeat: Map interface</h2>
            <ui:repeat var="entry" value="#{mapBean.data}">
                Key: #{entry.key}
                Value: #{entry.value}
            </ui:repeat>

            <h2>DataTable: Map Interface</h2>
            <h:dataTable var="entry" value="#{mapBean.data}">
                <h:column>#{entry.key}</h:column>
                <h:column>#{entry.value}</h:column>
            </h:dataTable>
        </h:body> 
    </f:view>
</html>

Iteration without backing data

In former versions, when you want to iterate a number collection from 0 to 10, you have to use c:forEach which from legacy JSP taglibs.
Now the new ui:repeat added this feature finally.
<ui:repeat begin="0" end="10" step="2" var="i">
 #{i}<br />
</ui:repeat>

Custom DataModel

JSF 2.3 provides a new @FacesDataModel to simplfy the customization of your own DataModel.
The backing bean.
@Model
public class CustomBean {

    @Inject
    Logger LOG;

    public UserData getUserData() {
        LOG.log(Level.INFO, "called CustomBean.getUserData");

        List<User> data = IntStream.of(0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
                .mapToObj(i -> new User("first " + i, "last " + i))
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

        return new UserData(data);
    }

}
UserData is just a POJO which wraps a list of User.
public class UserData {
    List<User> users = new ArrayList<>();

    public UserData() {
    }
    
    public UserData(List<User> users) {
        this.users = users;
    }
    
    public List<User> getUsers() {
        return users;
    }

    public void setUsers(List<User> users) {
        this.users = users;
    }
   
}
public class User implements Serializable {

    private String firstName;
    private String lastName;

    public User(String firstName, String lastName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    public String getFirstName() {
        return firstName;
    }

    public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
        this.firstName = firstName;
    }

    public String getLastName() {
        return lastName;
    }

    public void setLastName(String lastName) {
        this.lastName = lastName;
    }

    @Override
    public String toString() {
        return "User{" + "firstName=" + firstName + ", lastName=" + lastName + '}';
    }

}
The facelets template.
<ui:repeat value="#{customBean.userData}" var="item">
 User : #{item}<br />
</ui:repeat>
We use UserData as UIRepeat backing data, it is not supported in JSF by default. Let's fill the gap via custom @FacesDataModel class.
@FacesDataModel(forClass = UserData.class)
public class UserDataModel extends DataModel<User> {

    UserData data = null;
    int index = 0;

    public UserDataModel() {
        this(null);
    }

    public UserDataModel(UserData data) {
        this.data = data;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean isRowAvailable() {
        return this.index >= 0 && this.index < this.getRowCount();
    }

    @Override
    public int getRowCount() {
        return this.data != null ? this.data.getUsers().size() : 0;
    }

    @Override
    public User getRowData() {
        if (this.index >= 0 && this.index < this.getRowCount()) {
            return this.data.getUsers().get(this.index);
        }

        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public int getRowIndex() {
        return this.index;
    }

    @Override
    public void setRowIndex(int rowIndex) {
        this.index = rowIndex;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getWrappedData() {
        return this.data;
    }

    @Override
    public void setWrappedData(Object data) {
        this.data = (UserData) data;
    }

}

Create a restful application with AngularJS and Zend 2 framework

Create a restful application with AngularJS and Zend 2 framework This example application uses AngularJS/Bootstrap as frontend and Zend2 Framework as REST API producer. The backend code This backend code reuses the database scheme and codes of the official Zend Tutorial, and REST API support is also from the Zend community. Getting Started with Zend Framework 2 Getting Started with REST and Zend Framework 2 Zend2 provides a   AbstractRestfulController   for RESR API producing. class AlbumController extends AbstractRestfulController { public function getList() { $results = $this->getAlbumTable()->fetchAll(); $data = array(); foreach ($results as $result) { $data[] = $result; } return new JsonModel(array( 'data' => $data) ); } public function get($id) { $album = $this->getAlbumTable()->getAlbum($id); return new JsonModel(array("data" =>

JPA 2.1: Attribute Converter

JPA 2.1: Attribute Converter If you are using Hibernate, and want a customized type is supported in your Entity class, you could have to write a custom Hibernate Type. JPA 2.1 brings a new feature named attribute converter, which can help you convert your custom class type to JPA supported type. Create an Entity Reuse the   Post   entity class as example. @Entity @Table(name="POSTS") public class Post implements Serializable { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Id @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO) @Column(name="ID") private Long id; @Column(name="TITLE") private String title; @Column(name="BODY") private String body; @Temporal(javax.persistence.TemporalType.DATE) @Column(name="CREATED") private Date created; @Column(name="TAGS") private List<String> tags=new ArrayList<>(); } Create an attribute convert

Auditing with Hibernate Envers

Auditing with Hibernate Envers The approaches provided in JPA lifecyle hook and Spring Data auditing only track the creation and last modification info of an Entity, but all the modification history are not tracked. Hibernate Envers fills the blank table. Since Hibernate 3.5, Envers is part of Hibernate core project. Configuration Configure Hibernate Envers in your project is very simple, just need to add   hibernate-envers   as project dependency. <dependency> <groupId>org.hibernate</groupId> <artifactId>hibernate-envers</artifactId> </dependency> Done. No need extra Event listeners configuration as the early version. Basic Usage Hibernate Envers provides a simple   @Audited   annotation, you can place it on an Entity class or property of an Entity. @Audited private String description; If   @Audited   annotation is placed on a property, this property can be tracked. @Entity @Audited public class Signup implements Serializa
