Creating EJB3 Using Netbeans And Glassfish

Netbeans 6.x brought nice features and let the web development much easier. You can create many things in a ".VS-style", in other words, drag-and-drop components on the User Interface. A good example of this it is the Visual Java Server Faces features from NetBeans 6 and the Web Service module.

Netbeans also brought Glassfish Application Server as its official server. Glassfish is the the RI (Reference Implementation) from JEE 5, therefore it is the better choice when you want to work with EJB 3.

Javadoc Analyzer in NetBeans 6.1

NetBeans 5.5 contained a useful tool called the ‘Javadoc Auto Comment’ feature. With the heavy rewrite of the NetBeans internals in version 6.0, the auto comment tool as we knew it was stripped out. This was down with some howling and protests, but at least there was a good reason (and not simply for the heck of it).

Send and receive SOAP messages with SAAJ

In this tip, author and developer Nicholas Chase shows you how to use the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) to simplify the process of creating and sending SOAP messages.

The foundation of Web services lies in the sending and receiving of messages in a standard format so that all systems can understand them. Typically, that format is SOAP. A SOAP message can be generated and sent manually, but the SOAP with Attachments API for Java (SAAJ) -- an offshoot of the Java API for XML Messaging (JAXM) -- automates many of the required steps, such as creating connections or creating and sending the actual messages. This tip chronicles the creation and sending of a synchronous SOAP message.

The process involves five steps:

1. Creating a SOAP connection
2. Creating a SOAP message
3. Populating the message
4. Sending the message
5. Retrieving the reply

SAAJ is available as part of the Java Web Services Developer Pack 1.2 (see Resources). This package also includes a copy of the Tomcat Web server (so you can host your own service) and sample applications.
