ContainerACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33The Primary Key ClassPrimary keys make each entity bean look different.A primary key is an object itself which contains other objects and data that is necessary to identify an entity bean data instance.The primary key class has to be serializable, and has to follow the rules of Java object serialization. The unique identifier, or primary key, enables client to locate the particular entity bean.ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33The Deployment DescriptorsContainerDeployment descriptorsList of propertiesContacts the deployment descriptor for bean deployment Informs the container about the bean and classesACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Pooling of Entity Bean InstancesEJBContainerEntityBean 1EntityBean 2EntityBean nInstantiatesStorageData 1Data 2Data nRepresentsEntity BeansPooled andRecycledEntityBean 1When the bean instance is used ,it is assigned to handle different client request.

In case of container-managed persistence, the container contains required data access logic, leaving the bean’s methods empty of data access logic. The finder methods are used to find the existing entity bean in storage. The finder methods do not create any new database data, but they load old entity bean data.

It is this interface that defines the call back method used by the container which the bean must implement. * setEntityContext(javax.ejb.EntityContext) * unsetEntityContext() * ejbRemove() * ejbActivate() * ejbPassivate() * ejbLoad() * ejbStore()ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33ejbCreate( )Used to initialize the fields of a bean instance which can be used for a particular client to create the underlying database data. The parameters vary with respect to the ejbCreate() method. Therefore, there are multiple ways to initialize an entity bean instance. The ejbCreate() methods in the home interface have to be duplicated in the bean class.

There has to be at least one finder method by the name ejbFindByPrimaryKey(). The method finds a unique entity bean instance based on the unique primary key. There can be various finder methods, with different names and different parameters. The finder method has to return the primary key for the entity bean it finds. Other than this, it can also give an enumeration of primary keys.The client will never call the finder methods on the bean instance itself ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33ejbRemove( ) - ICalled to remove data from the databaseThe instance of the bean can be recycled to handle data from a different databaseDoes not take any parameters ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33ejbRemove( )- II Home objectEJB objectEntity bean instanceEJB Container/ Server1.

Context objects are accessible to the beans in order to retrieve information, such as transaction and security information. The interface to be used for entity beans is the javax.ejb.EntityContext. Two new methods have been added to entity beans: * getEJBObject() * getPrimaryKey()ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Message-Driven BeansAllows JMS applications to receive messages asynchronously (the sender is independent of the receiver receiving and processing the messages).Includes business logic, which may include operations such as: * Performing computation on received data * Initiating a step or condition in a workflow * Storing data * Sending a messageACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Uses of Message-Driven BeansAsynchronous messaging.Integrating two applications in a loosely coupled but reliable manner. Mere message delivery or message content should drive other events in the system. Create message selectors which are designed to consume only specific messages and thus act as triggers. ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Implementation of Message BeansIt mainly implements two interfaces javax.ejb.MessageDrivenBean interface and the javax.jms.MessageListener interface. The developer needs to implement the main business-logic in the onMessage() method. The bean implements three other methods viz. ejbCreate() ejbRemove() and setMessageDrivenContext() which the container uses for managing the lifecycle of the message-driven bean. ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Summary - 1There are three main ways to make objects persistent:Java Object SerializationObject-Relational MappingObject Database Management SystemObject serialization is a method by which the current state of Java objects can be captured and saved permanently. There are two ways of mapping the objects to the relational data:Manual mapping: This is done using a database access API, which can be JDBC or SQL/J.Use an object-relational mapping product. It can be Sun’s JavaBlend or Object people’s TOP link.ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Summary -2 Two kinds of components are deployed in a multi-tier deployment:Application logic componentsPersistent data componentsThe entity bean comprises the following files:The entity bean classThe remote interfaceThe Local InterfaceThe home interfaceThe primary key classThe deployment descriptorsejbActivate(): When a bean has to be transitioned out of an instance pool, the ejbActivate() callback method is used.ACCP2005/EJB 2.0/ Session 5 / * of 33Summary -3ejbPassivate(): When the bean is being sent into the instance pool, this method is called. Enterprise beans have a context object that identifies the bean’s environment. These context objects are accessible to the beans in order to retrieve transaction and security information. HỎI ĐÁP
