The
kitchensink
quickstart demonstrates a Java EE 8 web-enabled database application using JSF, CDI, EJB, JPA, and Bean Validation.
What is it?
The kitchensink
quickstart is a deployable Maven 3 project designed to help you get your foot in the door developing with Java EE 8 on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server.
It demonstrates how to create a compliant Java EE 8 application using JSF, CDI, JAX-RS, EJB, JPA, and Bean Validation. It also includes a persistence unit and some sample persistence and transaction code to introduce you to database access in enterprise Java.
Considerations for Use in a Production Environment
- H2 Database
-
This quickstart uses the H2 database included with JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server 7.2. 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.
- Datasource Configuration File
-
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.
System Requirements
The application this project produces is designed to be run on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform Server 7.2 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 to Build and Deploy the Quickstarts to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.
Use of EAP_HOME
In the following instructions, replace EAP_HOME
with the actual path to your JBoss EAP installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of EAP_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.
Start the JBoss EAP Standalone Server
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the JBoss EAP directory.
-
Start the JBoss EAP server with the default profile by typing the following command.
$ EAP_HOME/bin/standalone.sh
NoteFor Windows, use the EAP_HOME\bin\standalone.bat
script.
Build and Deploy the Quickstart
-
Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type the following command to build the artifacts.
$ mvn clean package wildfly:deploy
This deploys the kitchensink/target/kitchensink.war
to the running instance of the server.
You should see a message in the server log indicating that the archive deployed successfully.
Access the Application
The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/kitchensink/.
Server Log: Expected Warnings and Errors
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
Undeploy the Quickstart
When you are finished testing the quickstart, follow these steps to undeploy the archive.
-
Make sure you start the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type this command to undeploy the archive:
$ mvn wildfly:undeploy
Run the Arquillian Tests
This quickstart provides Arquillian tests. By default, these tests are configured to be skipped since Arquillian tests require the use of a container.
Note
|
The Arquillian tests deploy the application, so make sure you undeploy the quickstart before you begin. |
Follow these steps to run the tests.
-
Start the JBoss EAP server as described above.
-
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
-
Type the following command to run the
verify
goal with thearq-remote
profile activated.$ mvn clean verify -Parq-remote
Note
|
You can also let Arquillian manage the JBoss EAP server by using the |
Run the Quickstart in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse
You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or 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.
Debug the Application
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
