TOTD #150: Collection of GlassFish, NetBeans, JPA, JSF, JAX-WS, EJB, Jersey, MySQL, Rails, Eclipse, and OSGi tips

This is the 150th tip published on this blog so decided to make it a collection of all the previous ones. Here is a tag cloud (created from wordle.net/create) from title of all the tips:

As expected GlassFish is the most prominent topic. And then there are several entries on NetBeans, JRuby/Rails, several Java EE 6 technologies like JPA, JAX-WS, JAX-RS, EJB, and JSF, and more entries on Eclipse, OSGi and some other tecnhologies too.

Java EE 6, GlassFish, Eclipse, Dynamic Languages & Web Frameworks at Silicon Valley Code Camp 2009

Filed under: django, eclipse, frameworks, glassfish, grails, javaee, rails — Tags: , — arungupta @ 2:52 am
Silicon Valley Code Camp 2009
To the community, By the community, For the community

Here is the list of GlassFish related sessions:

  1. Java EE 6 and GlassFish v3: Paving the path for future
  2. Using Eclipse for Java EE 6 development for the GlassFish™ Application Server
  3. Dynamic Languages & Web Frameworks in GlassFish

The detailed agenda for each session is explained here.

Here are the coordinates:

Date: Oct 3/4, 2009
Venue: Foothill College, Los Altos, CA
Cost: Free but registration required

Read the trip reports from 2008 and 2007.

With more than a month to go, already 120 sessions have been submitted and 855 attendees registered. The final agenda is not ready yet but typically all Java sessions are on a single day.

It’s a free event, with free coffee, food and lots of networking. What’s there to loose ?

See ya there!

TOTD #85: Getting Started with Django Applications on GlassFish v3

Filed under: django, totd — arungupta @ 4:00 am

GlassFish v3 is an extensible App server. Basically the core App server functionality can be easily extended using add-ons such as an OSGi module. This allows to keep the core light-weight and install the required features on demand. The add-ons can be easily installed using the Update Center. The what/why/how about extensibility is described in the GlassFish v3 Extensibility One-pager.

GlassFish v3 provides support for Dynamic Languages and Web Frameworks such as Ruby-on-Rails, Groovy/Grails, and Python/Django using this extensibility. This blog has published multiple tips on using Ruby-on-Rails at rubyonrails+totd and a few tips on Groovy/Grails at grails+totd. This blog will explain how to get started with deploying Python/Django applications on GlassFish v3 Preview. The blog will use Jython interpreter which is the Java implemention of Python.

Vivek already blogged about the detailed instructions and this blog shows how to run the pre-bundled samples.

  1. Download GlassFish v3 Preview.
  2. Install Jython 2.5
    1. Download Jython 2.5 from here. 
    2. Install as:
      java -jar ~/Downloads/jython_installer-2.5.0.jar

      Choose the default options (pick your directory) as shown below:

      and click on “Next” to start the installation process.

    3. As mentioned in Django on Jython wiki, create the following aliases:
      alias jython25=~/tools/jython2.5.0/bin/jython
      alias django-admin-jy=”jython25 ~/tools/jython2.5.0/bin/django-admin.py”

    4. Invoking the command “jython25″ from the installation directory shows the Jython interpreter as:
      ~/tools/jython/jython2.5rc4 >jython25
      Jython 2.5rc4 (Release_2_5rc4:6470, Jun 8 2009, 13:23:16)
      [Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (Apple Inc.)] on java1.6.0_13
      Type “help”, “copyright”, “credits” or “license” for more information.
      >>>

  3. Install Django
    1. Download Django 1.0.2 from here.
    2. Install Django 1.0.2 as:
      ~/tools >tar xzvf ~/Downloads/Django-1.0.2-final.tar.gz
      Django-1.0.2-final/
      Django-1.0.2-final/AUTHORS
      Django-1.0.2-final/django/
      . . .
      Django-1.0.2-final/scripts/rpm-install.sh
      Django-1.0.2-final/setup.cfg
      Django-1.0.2-final/setup.py
      ~/tools/Django-1.0.2-final >jython25 setup.py install
      running install
      running build
      running build_py
      . . .
      running install_egg_info
      Writing /Users/arungupta/tools/jython/jython2.5.0/Lib/site-packages/Django-1.0.2_final-py2.5.egg-info

  4. Install Jython container for GlassFish
    1. Start GlassFish v3 Preview Update Center using the following command:

      ~/tools/glassfish/v3/preview/glassfishv3/bin >./updatetool 

      to see the screen as:

    2. Select “GlassFish v3 Jython Container” and click on “Install”, “Accept” the license and complete the installation. Close the Update Center window. This installs Jython Container OSGi module and Grizzly Adapter JARs in the “glassfish/modules” directory.
  5. Start and configure GlassFish
    1. Start GlassFish as:

      ~/tools/glassfish/v3/preview/glassfishv3/glassfish >./bin/asadmin start-domain

    2. Configure Jython in GlassFish as:
      ~/tools/glassfish/v3/preview/glassfishv3/glassfish >./bin/asadmin create-jvm-options -Djython.home=/Users/arungupta/tools/jython2.5.0
      created 1 option(s)

      Command create-jvm-options executed successfully.

      Make sure to specify the directory where Jython is installed.

  6. Deploy the samples bundled with the Django installation as:
    ~/tools/Django-1.0.2-final/examples >~/tools/glassfish/v3/preview/glassfishv3/glassfish/bin/asadmin deploy .

    Command deploy executed successfully.

    and now they are accessible at “http://localhost:8080/examples/” and shown as:

    Make sure to specify the end “/” otherwise the context root is not resolved correctly and none of the links will work.

    Click on “Hello World (HTML)” to see the output as:

    And click on “Displaying request metadata” to see output as:


    alt="" src="/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/django102-samples-metadata.png">

    The same sample can, of course, run using the built-in development server as:

    ~/tools/Django-1.0.2-final/examples >jython25 manage.py runserver
    Validating models…
    0 errors found

    Django version 1.0.2 final, using settings ‘examples.settings’
    Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/
    Quit the server with CONTROL-C.

    and then accessible at “http://localhost:8000″ as:

More details are available in Django Tutorial. The subsequent blogs will provide more detailed samples.

If you are using GlassFish v2 then Django applications can be deployed as a WAR file as explained here.

Please leave suggestions on other TOTD (Tip Of The Day) that you’d like to see. A complete archive of all the tips is available here.
