The greeter
quickstart demonstrates the use of CDI, JPA, JTA, EJB and JSF in Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
When you deploy this example, two users are automatically created for you: emuster
and jdoe
. This data is located in the src/main/resources/import.sql file
.
To test this example:
- Enter a name in the
username
field and click onGreet!
. - If you enter a username that is not in the database, you get a message
No such user exists!
. - If you enter a valid username, you get a message
Hello,
followed by the user's first and last name. - To create a new user, click the
Add a new user
link. Enter the username, first name, and last name and then clickAdd User
. The user is added and a message displays the new user id number. - Click on the
Greet a user!
link to return to theGreet!
page.
Note: This quickstart uses the H2 database included with Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1. It is a lightweight, relational example datasource that is used for examples only. It is not robust or scalable, is not supported, and should NOT be used in a production environment!
Note: This quickstart uses a *-ds.xml
datasource configuration file for convenience and ease of database configuration. These files are deprecated in JBoss EAP and should not be used in a production environment. Instead, you should configure the datasource using the Management CLI or Management Console. Datasource configuration is documented in the Configuration Guide for Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform.
The application this project produces is designed to be run on Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.1 or later.
All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven for JBoss EAP 7.1 to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.
In the following instructions, replace EAP7_HOME
with the actual path to your JBoss EAP installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of EAP7_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.
-
Open a command prompt and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.
-
The following shows the command line to start the server:
For Linux: EAP7_HOME/bin/standalone.sh For Windows: EAP7_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
-
Make sure you have started the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type this command to build and deploy the archive:
mvn clean install wildfly:deploy
-
This will deploy
target/greeter.war
to the running instance of the server.
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/greeter/.
-
Make sure you have started the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a command prompt and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
When you are finished testing, type this command to undeploy the archive:
mvn wildfly:undeploy
Note: You will see the following warnings in the server log. You can ignore these warnings.
WFLYJCA0091: -ds.xml file deployments are deprecated. Support may be removed in a future version.
HHH000431: Unable to determine H2 database version, certain features may not work
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a JBoss EAP server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.
If you want to debug the source code of any library in the project, run the following command to pull the source into your local repository. The IDE should then detect it.
mvn dependency:sources
