JSP Elements


A JSP page can have two types of data:
  • Template Data: It is the static part of a jsp page. Anything that is copied as it is directly to the response by the JSP server is known as template data.
  • JSP Elements: It is the dynamic part of a jsp page. Anything that is translated and executed by the JSP server is known as JSP element.
There are three types of JSP elements:
Directive Elements: The directive elements, contains the information about the page itself that remains the same between requests for the page. The general directive syntax is:
<%@ directiveName attr1="value1" attr2="value2" %>
The directive name and all attribute names are case-sensitive and the attribute values can be enclosed with single quotes instead of double quotes.
Action Element: Action elements generally performs some action depending on the information required at when the JSP page is requested by a browser. An action can access parameters sent with the request in order to lookup the database.
The general syntax for the action elements is:
<action_name attribute=value ...>action_body</action_name>
<action_name attribute=value .../>
Scripting Element: A JSP element is an element that provides embedded Java statements. A JSP page can have three types of scripting elements:
  • Declaration Element: A JSP element provides the capability of inserting Java declaration statements into the Servlet class. Here is the syntax for the declaration element.
   <%! Java decalaration statements %>
  • Scriptlet Element: A JSP element provides the capability of embedding Java expressions to be evaluated as part of the service method of the Servlet class. An scripting element can be written in two ways:
  <% Java statements %>
  • Expression Element: A JSP element provides the capability of embedding Java expressions to be evaluated as part of the service method of the Servlet class. An expression element can be written in two ways: <% Java expressoins %>

GlassFish and MyEclipse and Eclipse support...

For the time and energy I spent to install the Release candidate for Europa, I must admit that paying a few dollars for MyEclipse is definitely the right investment to do (although I am still missing a complete installer for Mac OSX, and a GlassFish/MyEclipse co-Bundle that would be installable in one shot).





I enjoyed the JSP editor (and renderer), as well as an extensive JavaScript support that should play well with our Ajax jMaki  components (that are also available for Eclipse).
There are still a few issues in the Java EE 5 support of MyEclipse (for example, one cannot create JPA entity beans in a Web Application, or no pure Java EE 5 Web Services support -Axis is the only supported stack-, or that the fact you need to touch files like web.xml or ejb-jar.xml or application.xml to trigger a redeployment for exploded directories -when these files are now optional in the latest Java EE 5 specification which is all about ease of development and replacement of those xml files into Java annotations)-, but all I can say is that for people who want an Eclipse based IDE to do Java EE 5 development (and target the GlassFish application server), MyEclipse is certainly a very good option and worth the investment. Very soon, MyEclipse will switch to Eclipse Europa platform and the latest good stuff from WTP 2.0.

Registering GlassFish in MyEclipse is very easy, and deployment of Java EE 5 applications to it is simple:


Having said that, for people who have the freedom to look at a solution which is not Eclipse based, NetBeans 5.5.1 and the coming NetBeans 6.0 are also offering advanced (and complete) Java EE 5 support, including JSF, JPA, Web Services and more. NetBeans also updates automatically the GlassFish specific descriptors when needed and transparently.

In conclusion, it is good to see that there is a wide range of tools targeting Java EE 5, and it's best implementation so far: GlassFish:-)

How Spring MVC Works


In this we will see the request flow for the spring framework. We will also show you the request flow diagram illustrating the working of Spring MVC module.
The Spring MVC modules comes with the Spring Framework distribution. The Spring MVC modules of the Spring Framework well integrates with rest of the framework. This modules is also very extensible.
Spring MVC is based on the MVC design pattern. Here is the list of key classes of Spring MVC.
  • DispatcherServlet
    The DispatcherServlet is  configured in the web.xml file and required URL patterns are mapped to this Servlet. It works as the front controller and handle all the request from the user.
     
  • ModelAndView
    This class works as the holder for both Model and View in the Spring MVC.
     
  • SimpleFormController
    The SimpleFormController is the Concrete FormController implementation. It provides the configurable form and success views, and an onSubmit chain for convenient overriding. Automatically resubmits to the form view in case of validation errors, and renders the success view in case of a valid submission.
Simplified Spring MVC architecture diagram
Following diagram shows the simplified architecture of Spring MVC:
Spring MVC Architecture, Spring MVC request flow
Let's understand the sequences of the events happens when a request is received by the Spring MVC. Following events happens when DispatcherServlet receives are request:
  1.  The DispatcherServlet configured in web.xml file receives the request.
  2. The DispatcherServlet finds the appropriate Controller with the help of HandlerMapping and then invokes associated Controller.
  3. Then the Controller executes the logic business logic (if written by the programmer) and then returns ModeAndView object to the DispatcherServlet.
  4. The DispatcherServlet determines the view from the ModelAndView object.
  5. Then the DispatcherServlet passes the model object to the View.
  6.  The View is rendered and the Dispatcher Servlet sends the output to the Servlet container. Finally Servlet Container sends the result back to the user.
Request flow in Spring MVC
Spring MVC is request driven and DispatcherServlet handles the request from client and then dispatches the request to controllers. It tightly integrates with the Spring IoC container and allows the developers to use every features of Spring framework.
The following diagram illustrates the request flow in Spring MVC.
Spring MVC Request flow
Request handling steps in Spring MVC
  1. Client access some URL on the server.
  2. The Spring Front Controller (DispatcherServlet) intercepts the Request. After receiving the request it finds the appropriate Handler Mappings.
  3. The Handle Mappings maps the client request to appropriate Controller. In this process framework reads the configuration information from the configuration file or from the annotated controller list. Then DispatcherServlet dispatch the request to the appropriate Controller. The Handler Adapters involves in this process.
  4. Then the Controller processes the Client Request, it executes the logic defined in the Controller method and finally returns the ModelAndView object back to the Front Controller.
  5. Based on the values in the ModelAndView Controller resolves the actual view, which can be JSP, Velocity, FreeMaker, Jasper or any other configured view resolver.
  6. Then the selected view is rendered and output is generated in the form of HttpServletResponse. Finally Controller sends the response to the Servlet container, which sends the output to the user.
Controllers hierarchy in Spring MVC
In this we will will understand the controllers hierarchy in Spring MVC Module. The Spring MVC module provides a lot of flexibility to easily develop MVC based web applications. It provides many controllers that can be used to achieve different jobs.
Spring MVC module is based on the MVC design pattern. The main components involved are DispatcherServlet, Controller and Views. In Spring MVC DispatcherServlet plays very important role. It handles the user request and delegates it with Controller. Following diagram shows the very simplified architecture:

In this Spring MVC, DispatcherServlet works as the controller and it delegates the request to the Controller. Developers extends the abstract controller provided by the framework and writes the business logic there. The actual business related processing is done in the Controller.
 Spring MVC provides many abstract controllers, which is designed for specific tasks. Here is the list of anstract controllers that comes with the Spring MVC module:
  1. SimpleFormController
  2. AbstractController
  3. AbstractCommandController
  4. CancellableFormController
  5. AbstractCommandController
  6. MultiActionController
  7. ParameterizableViewController
  8. ServletForwardingController
  9. ServletWrappingController
  10. UrlFilenameViewController
  11. AbstractController
  12. AbstractCommandController
  13. SimpleFormController
  14. CancellableFormController.
Following diagram shows the Controllers hierarchy in Spring MVC:
Spring MVC Controller hierarchy
In the next sections we will be learning about all these controllers. We will also provide you the examples codes illustrating the usage of these controllers.

MVC 1 vs MVC2

MVC1 Vs MVC2:




Difference Between MVC 1 & MVC 2   
                                           
                    MVC  1     
                        MVC 2
MVC1 associates the presentation logic with the business logic.

MVC 2 isolates or disassociates the presentation logic from business logic

In MVC1, only one component is responsible for receiving request and sending response.
In MVC2, there is separate components for receiving and  sending response. i.e. Controller & View.In
MVC 1, business logic and presentation Logic is combined so web designer and web developer cant work simulateously.
Since both logics are separate that's why designer and developer can work together.
Doesn't support reusability of application components.
Reusability of components
In MVC 1, controller and model,both are JSP.
While controller is servlet and model is java class.
In MVC1 there is tight coupling between page and model as data access is usually done using Custom tag or through java bean call. 
In MVC2 architecture there is only one controller which receives all the request for the application and is responsible for taking appropriate action in response to each request.

Struts 1 vs Struts 2



FeatureStruts 1Struts 2
Action classesStruts 1 requires Action classes to extend an abstract base class. A common problem in Struts 1 is programming to abstract classes instead of interfaces.An Struts 2 Action may implement an Action interface, along with other interfaces to enable optional and custom services. Struts 2 provides a base ActionSupport class to implement commonly used interfaces. Albeit, the Action interface is not required. Any POJO object with a execute signature can be used as an Struts 2 Action object.
Threading ModelStruts 1 Actions are singletons and must be thread-safe since there will only be one instance of a class to handle all requests for that Action. The singleton strategy places restrictions on what can be done with Struts 1 Actions and requires extra care to develop. Action resources must be thread-safe or synchronized.Struts 2 Action objects are instantiated for each request, so there are no thread-safety issues. (In practice, servlet containers generate many throw-away objects per request, and one more object does not impose a performance penalty or impact garbage collection.)
Servlet DependencyStruts 1 Actions have dependencies on the servlet API since the HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse is passed to the executemethod when an Action is invoked.Struts 2 Actions are not coupled to a container. Most often the servlet contexts are represented as simple Maps, allowing Actions to be tested in isolation. Struts 2 Actions can still access the original request and response, if required. However, other architectural elements reduce or eliminate the need to access the HttpServetRequest or HttpServletResponse directly.
TestabilityA major hurdle to testing Struts 1 Actions is that theexecute method exposes the Servlet API. A third-party extension, Struts TestCase, offers a set of mock object for Struts 1.Struts 2 Actions can be tested by instantiating the Action, setting properties, and invoking methods. Dependency Injection support also makes testing simpler.
Harvesting InputStruts 1 uses an ActionForm object to capture input. Like Actions, all ActionForms must extend a base class. Since  other JavaBeans cannot be used as ActionForms, developers often create redundant classes to capture input. DynaBeans can used as an alternative to creating conventional ActionForm classes, but, here too, developers may be redescribing existing JavaBeans.Struts 2 uses Action properties as input properties, eliminating the need for a second input object. Input properties may be rich object types which may have their own properties. The Action properties can be accessed from the web page via the taglibs. Struts 2 also supports the ActionForm pattern, as well as POJO form objects and POJO Actions. Rich object types, including business or domain objects, can be used as input/output objects. The ModelDriven feature simplifies taglb references to POJO input objects.
Expression LanguageStruts 1 integrates with JSTL, so it uses the JSTL EL. The EL has basic object graph traversal, but relatively weak collection and indexed property support.Struts 2 can use JSTL, but the framework also supports a more powerful and flexible expression language called "Object Graph Notation Language" (OGNL).
Binding values into viewsStruts 1 uses the standard JSP mechanism for binding objects into the page context for access.Struts 2 uses a "ValueStack" technology so that the taglibs can access values without coupling your view to the object type it is rendering. The ValueStack strategy allows reuse of views across a range of types which may have the same property name but different property types.
Type ConversionStruts 1 ActionForm properties are usually all Strings. Struts 1 uses Commons-Beanutils for type conversion. Converters are per-class, and not configurable per instance.Struts 2 uses OGNL for type conversion. The framework includes converters for basic and common object types and primitives.
ValidationStruts 1 supports manual validation via a validatemethod on the ActionForm, or through an extension to the Commons Validator. Classes can have different validation contexts for the same class, but cannot chain to validations on sub-objects.Struts 2 supports manual validation via the validate method and the XWork Validation framework. The Xwork Validation Framework supports chaining validation into sub-properties using the validations defined for the properties class type and the validation context.
Control Of Action ExecutionStruts 1 supports separate Request Processors (lifecycles) for each module, but all the Actions in the module must share the same lifecycle.Struts 2 supports creating different lifecycles on a per Action basis via Interceptor Stacks. Custom stacks can be created and used with different Actions, as needed.

What is the need to Override Hashcode() and equals() method


Although there are lots of materials are available on internet and API document about the necessity of the overriding the hashcode() and equals() method in Java but lots of new developers still not able to understand the necessity of hashcode() method.
In this article, I will try to explain step by step the need of overriding hashcode() method in Java.
Few Thump rules:
  • If two objects are same then they must return same value in hashcode() and equals() method whenever invoked.
  • It is not necessary that two different object must have different hashcode values. it might be possible that they share common hash bucket.
JVM assigns unique hashcode value to each object when they are created in memory and if developers don’t override the hashcode method then there is no way the two object returns same hashcode value.
As the question comes in your mind that equals() method is used to compare objects that they are having same value or not but why should we override the hashcode method ?
The answer to the question is for the hash technique based data structures like HashMap and HashTable.
How Hashcode works in java
How Hashcode works in java
As you can see in above diagram that every object is placed in Hash bucket depending on the hashcode they have. It is not necessary that every different object must have different hashcode. hashcode is used to narrow the search result. When we try to insert any key in HashMap first it checks whether any other object present with same hashcode and if yes then it checks for the equals() method. If two objects are same then HashMap will not add that key instead it will replace the old value by new one.
What will happen if I don’t override the hashcode method?
Ans : If the object does not implement hashcode() method and used as key then we will not get the object back as shown in below code.
