Here is interesting video from January 2011 Building Web Applications with Java EE 6 recorded by oracle’s employee. This look like oracle is doing fine with glassfish. Except Arun Gupta, Alexis Moussine-Pouchkine did fine job with this vid. The most interesting thins from this example are :
Hi. This time I’ve got the mission to make a simple panel for our maintain department. Guys would test some process if is working fine on a few different machines. Simple as that. I’ve choose a JSF 2.0 as it is the most obvious choice. I gave myself 15 minutes each tut to sneak peek on
I’ve started my pomodoro and fired up!
Unit testing EJB 3.1
I was talking to one of my friends (spring is always better then anything – type) and he was laughing that there is a serious problem with testing EJB. So I found a tutorial on you tube that is simply obvious feature and all you need to do is to import glassfish embedded ejb container to the project to make use of some ejb container libraries I suppose. After that it is *as normal* easy to write junit test. I’ve created example screencast of this tutorial on my mint linux distribution. I hope it will be visible for you. (doint this with netbeans 6.9.1 and glassfish 3.0.1 is even easier because you have already already Glassfish 3 server embedded container already in your testing libraries)
Cobertura is test code coverage tool. It’s free and it does job well. I tried it with projects compiled with Ant. There a few good tuts on web how to do it. And I tried it with maven. It’s even easier, you just need to put a simple entry into your pom.xml file. Something like
<reporting>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.codehaus.mojo</groupId>
<artifactId>cobertura-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.4</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</reporting>
And there is a worth tip to remember (because I had problem with cobertura it simply didn’t count and raport, coverage was always zero)
Uncheck option for maven “skip test ” in your favorite IDE – mine is netbeans. (For developing without testing as I did I’ve turned it off. Then I wrote junits and was firing test by hand without unchecking the box)
Getting Started with iBatis (MyBatis): XML Configuration another fine tutorial for hibernate alternative myBatis, isn’t it great?
