    http://wiki4.caucho.com/Java_EE_Tutorial_covering_JSP_2.2,_and_Servlets_3.0 This tutorial focuses on using Servlet's and JSP the right way. Servlet and JSP have evolved over the years, and now there is often more than one way to do things. For example, this tutorial uses EL and JSTL not JSP scriptlets, it uses JSPs in a Model 2/MVC style not in a model 1 style, etc. Consider it a tutorial that focuses only on the best practices and not the legacy ways to do things. There are other tutorials on this subject, but this tutorial is going to be different in that it is going to put all code into github, and you can follow along with Eclipse. Also instead of focusing on JSF, we are going to focus on JSP and Servlets as the main view technology. Java EE, JSP and Servlets have added a lot of features that are in other frameworks, making those other frameworks less relevant then they were before Java EE garnered these extra abilities. Even is you decide to use JSF, Struts, Stripes, Spring MVC, JSF, etc., this tutorial should help you have a better understanding of the JSP/Servlets core that they build on. We are going to start by building a simple bookstore. We will progressively add more features to the bookstore and as we do we will use more of Java EE/CDI, JSP and Servlets. For this tutorial, I am going to use Resin 4.0.x, but you could use any Java EE 6 Web Profile compliant application server.

    This cookbook in the Java EE Servlet /JSP tutorial
    covers building CRUD Operations in a Model 2 architecture

    This is a continuation of Building a simple listing in


    JSP using Java EE and Servlets (Part 1).

    This is part 2, must do part 1 rst Part 1 Slides Covers working with Servlet doGet/doPost methods, JSTL,

    Where we leX o in last example


    BookListServlet uses a BookRepository object (DAO) to load a
    list of books

    BookListServlet then delegated to book-list.jsp to render the


    book lis8ng with JSTL and Unied EL

    In this cookbook,

    add a link to the book lis9ng for edi9ng a book add a link so that the end user can add a new book to the lis9ng Create backend Servlets to handle new links on book lis9ng

    Model 2 MVC
    Model View Controller

    Book BookRepositoryImpl BookRepository

    book-form.jsp book-list.jsp

    BookListingServlet BookEditorServlet

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    Add a new link to book-lis8ng.jsp



    Add link to edit opera8on Edit opera8on pulls up form with details of Book 8tle that is clicked Uses <a href= Uses expression pageContext.request.contextPath/book to address new Edit Servlet Servlet created later, id parameter implies edit opertaion EL expression pageContext.request.contextPath refers to the URI, web app (war le) is mapped to in Servlet container

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    Edit Link on Title

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    What gets rendered

    The following links with URI (/bookstore) of webapp get rendered when book- lis8ng.jsp loads

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    Adding a add a book link to book lis8ng

    Now that links are going to URI /book, You need a Servlet that handles links

    For add opera9on and edit opera9on

    New BookEditorServlet will handle both add and edit book func8ons

    Add Link Above Table

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    BookEditorServlet
    @WebServlet("/book") maps BookEditorServlet to the URI /
    book

    Common to load a form from a doGet method, and to handle


    the form submission via doPost

    Follows REST and HTTP principles GET opera8ons reads data,


    later POST data modies data

    doGet method uses id being empty or not to


    determine if this is a load "Add Book Form" or load "Update Book Form" opera9on

    BookEditorServlet

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    BookEditorServlet.doGet loads edit/add form


    Add Link

    Edit Link

    doGet is load form operation

    book-form.jsp

    Model 2 and BookEditorServlet.doGet



    In Model 2, Servlets (controllers/ac8ons) prepares model data for the view This includes date formagng

    Notice book is mapped into request scope book will get used from book-form.jsp

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    Model 2 and BookEditorServlet.doGet (cont)

    To render the HTML form, the servlet delegates to book-form.jsp

    book-form.jsp

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    book-form.jsp (1 of 3)

    book-form.jsp renders form to edit book If book.id present then edit opera8on, otherwise add opera8on

    JSTL c:choose, c:otherwise to display correct 9tle based on Update (Edit) or Add opera9on

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    book-form.jsp (2 of 3)

    Uses Unied EL to render values and then just plain HTML for form elds

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    book-form.jsp (3 of 3)

    hidden id property is rendered if edit (Update) opera8on Cancel buNon takes them back to lis8ng (/book/ is lis8ng). Submit buNon POST form to BookEditorServlet.doPost (dened next)

    Caucho Home | Contact Us | Caucho Blog | Wiki | Applica8on Server

    BookEditorServlet.doPost()
    if id request parameter is null then BookEditorServlet.doPost
    calls bookRepo.addBook,

    otherwise it calls bookRepo.updateBook

    Then, doPost redirects to /book/

    redirect means an extra hit to the server, basically telling browser to load another link Not forward like before because of bookmarking Remember URL /book/ (ending in slash) represents a collec9on of
    books, while /book (no slash) represents a single book lis9ng

    If doPost did a forward, then browser would show wrong link for Use sendRedirect instead of a forward for bookmarking

    Review of CRUD lis8ng



    Book Form

    ./WebContent/WEB-INF/pages/book-form.jsp

    Book Lis8ng ./WebContent/WEB-INF/pages/book-list.jsp

    Servlet that loads Book (doGet) form and handles Book form submissions (doPost). ./src/com/bookstore/web/ BookEditorServlet.java

    Needed for Java EE dependency injec8on (CDI) ./src/META-INF/beans.xml

    Servlet that looks up a list of books and displays the lis8ng ./src/com/bookstore/web/ BookListServlet.java

    Domain/model object ./src/com/bookstore/Book.java

    Repository implementa8on using Java collec8ons (just for tes8ng)

    ./src/com/bookstore/BookRepositoryImpl.java

    Interface to Book Repository so we can swap it out with JDBC, JPA, JCache and MongoDB version later
