Java Language J2EE and ABAP

Java is an object-oriented programming language
Source code is compiled into byte-code Byte-code is interpreted by a Java Virtual Machine (JVM)

Java is platform independent J2EE (Java 2 Platform Enterprise Edition)

Platform which simplifies and accelerates developing, deploying and managing n-tiered business applications using Java technologies

HTTP Servlet and JavaServer Pages (JSP)

Servlet is a Java class that
Handles HTTP communication Runs on a Web server Generates dynamic Web pages

Servlets can directly access resources like Enterprise JavaBeans components, JDBC data sources JSP Page is text file that hides HTTP complexity from programmer

Enterprise JavaBeans Definition

An Enterprise Bean is a server-side component that encapsulates the business logic of an application EJBs always execute within an EJB container, which provides system services to EJBs These services include transaction management, persistence, pooling, clustering and other infrastructure

Types of Enterprise JavaBeans

Enterprise Java Bean

Session Bean

Entity Bean

Messagedriven Bean

Stateless Session Bean

Stateful Session Bean

Containermanaged persistence

Beanmanaged Persistence

Related to the user session Session bean is not persistent

Handles the persistence in a object-oriented manner Represent a business object

Message based Receive asynchronous JMS messages

SAP AG 2005, SAP TechEd 05 / CD102 / 15

Session Beans
A session EJB represents a single client inside the application server A client accesses the application by invoking the session bean's methods Shields the client from complexity by executing business tasks inside the server A session bean is not shared at a certain point of time: it may have just one client Session beans are divided into two basic types:

Client

Client

Client

Stateful SessionBean

Stateless SessionBean EJB Container J2EE Server Java ~ ABAP

Session bean ~ function group / ABAP class State ~ global memory of function group Session bean methods ~ function modules / ABAP method

Stateless Not dedicated to one client pooled amongst a number of clients. Be aware that instance is reused for clients (initialize attributes) Stateful Is created for a specific client and not used (reused) by any others

SAP AG 2005, SAP TechEd 05 / CD102 / 16

Entity Bean Persistence

Entity EJB represents a business object (e.g. customers, orders and products) Two types

Bean-Managed Beans (BMP) Container managed Beans (CMP)

Session Bean

The persistent storage mechanism is a relational database

Entity Bean

Typically, each entity bean has an underlying table in a relational database, and each instance of the bean corresponds to a row in that table

EJB Container J2EE Server

Entity beans differ from session beans in several ways

Database

Are persistent (dedicated load/store methods) Allow shared access Have primary keys May participate in relationships with other entity beans

SAP AG 2005, SAP TechEd 05 / CD102 / 17

Message-Driven Beans
MDBs were created to receive asynchronous JMS messages JMS supports Publish-andSubscribe (Topic) and Point-ToPoint (Queue) The container handles much of the setup required for JMS queues and topics The container sends all messages to the interested MDB MDB are statless No interfaces (Home/Component) Can consume and process messages concurrently

A Deployment Descriptor is a File that .

Defines EJB structural information, such as
EJB name, class, home and remote interfaces Bean type (session or entity)

Defines application assembly information, such as

Container transaction attributes Method permissions Security roles Project

Summary
The Web AS is one platform supporting two technology

stacks
In addition to J2EE SAP provides tools and technologies

developing for professional business applications based on Java

SAP provide a sophisticated Java infrastructure for

development and deployment
