LOTD #2: Phobos – MVC framework based on JavaScript

Filed under: frameworks, jmaki, lotd — arungupta @ 5:00 am

Phobos is a lightweight, scripting-friendly, web application environment running on the Java platform. It provides a complete MVC framework where Controller is a JavaScript class, View is an Embedded JavaScript (EJS) file and Model is typically a mix of Java and JavaScript.

The tech tip explains how Phobos and jMaki can be used to create a simple Ajax-enabled application using NetBeans tooling and GlassFish for deployment.

Building an Ajax-enabled Web application using Phobos and jMaki

Another application built using Phobos and jMaki was shown in JavaOne 2007 technical keynote.

All previous entries in this series are archived at LOTD.

GlassFish and jMaki @ RailsConf Today

Filed under: glassfish, jmaki, rails — arungupta @ 6:42 am

I was originally planning to give my first talk at Rails Conf on “Rails powered by GlassFish and jMaki“. But I cannot travel for personal reasons and instead Craig McClanahan, who is an excellent speaker, has graciously agreed to speak. Craig has been involved with Rails, GlassFish and jMaki for a long time so feel free to poke hime at the talk, in the exhibit hall and afterwards.

Thanks Craig for the wishes! I had a great time @ RailsConf 2007 (here and here) but life is about priorities

More information about support for Dynamic Languages and their Frameworks on GlassFish can be found on glassfish-scripting.dev.java.net.

jMaki Webtop on GlassFish – Ajax World Keynote Video

Filed under: glassfish, jmaki — arungupta @ 12:02 am

jMaki Webtop is a light-weight Mashup Framework based on jMaki widgets. The webtop was demonstrated at Ajax World East 2008 keynote. The key features are:

Simple & easy to use (runs in browser)
Extensible (add your own widgets & gadgets)
Manageable (create users)
Persistent (Google Gears on the client, Database on the server)
Shared (read-only views can be shared with other users)

A 30-minute video of the Ajax World keynote session is available here and shows webtop in action The keynote deployed the webtop as a WAR file on GlassFish. A live PHP version of webtop is available at jmaki.com/webtop.

You can download the entire source code from the subversion repository and run it yourself.

Sun-internal jMaki Day Review

Filed under: glassfish, jmaki — arungupta @ 8:00 am

Last Friday jMaki team, at Sun Microsystems, arranged a jMaki Day for Sun-internal audience. The day was planned to introduce the technology and explains it’s nuts and bolts with hands-on experience. Even though nobody outside Sun could attend it, but all the presos and lab material is available here.

The morning sessions gave an overview of jMaki and included:

Sun, Web 2.0 and jMaki by Arun Gupta (me)
Introduction to jMaki by Carla Mott
Phobos and jMaki by Roberto Chinnici
jMaki Tooling: State of Union 2007 by Ludovic Champenois
jMaki State of Union 2007 by Greg Murray

The afternoon was BYOL (Bring Your Own Laptop) hands-on-labs and discussion with the team. It included:

jMaki Applications – Doris Chen
jMaki Recipe for building Web 2.0 Apps – Carla Mott
Mashing it up with jMaki – Greg Murray

The slides for the morning session and hands-on-labs are available. Here are some pictures:

Greg Murray	Attendees	Attendees	Carla Mott
Roberto Chinnici	Doris helping with mic	Ludovic Champenois	Greg Murray
Lunch	Lunch	Hands-on-labs	Hands-on-labs

You can get a flavor of these sessions and labs at Sun Tech Days.

You can also view a collection of samples (run or download them) put together by Sun’s Web 2.0 team. You can also look for a collection of jMaki samples here. All of these samples can be run on GlassFish.

Here are some important jMaki links:

Overall framework architecture and features
Basic Application Structure
Creating jMaki widgets

Please send any feedback on slides and hands-on-labs to .

jMaki: AJAX Framework

Filed under: glassfish, jmaki — arungupta @ 11:10 am

In a previous blog, I talked about AJAX. You can read about different AJAX design strategies, their pros/cons and when to use. This blog introduces you to jMaki.

Originally the project, jMaki, started as a wrapper for existing AJAX frameworks giving access to the JavaScript widgets from JSP pages or JSF components. And so the name, jMaki, where "j" is for JavaScript and "maki" is a Japanese word to "wrap" was sufficient. Even the logo for jMaki, a "j" as the cursive foot of the Chinese character meaning wrapper, was self describing. In that role, jMaki provides access to widgets from existing AJAX frameworks such as Dojo, Scriptaculous, Google Web Toolkit and Yahoo UI Library. A jMaki wrapper over several components from a variety of frameworks can be seen in this widget gallery. A more complete collection of widgets, organized by their framework, is available here. In the past few weeks, the project has transformed into a complete AJAX framework that provides a lightweight model for creating JavaScript centric AJAX-enabled web applications using Java (Java Server Pages and Java Server Faces), PHP 5.x, and Phobos (another of Sun’s Web 2.0 offering, more on this later).

jMaki framework, as explained earlier, decouples the presentation logic and underlying data using Widget Model, Client Services, Layouts and Client Runtime on the presentation layer (a.k.a. Client Side Components) and Server Side Runtime and XmlHttpProxy on the data layer (a.k.a. Server Side Components). The original intent of the project, wrapper for existing AJAX frameworks, is now served by the Widget Model.

After reading all the details, it’s time to try some code. Before you begin, I recommend watching this screen cast that introduces you to jMaki and walks you through the steps of developing a web application using jMaki plug-in in NetBeans. Using the screen cast, here are the steps that I followed:

Download NetBeans 5.5.
Download the NetBeans Ajax Update Center Module. I preferred the update center module over the jMaki plug-in NBM file (NetBeans module) as that allows me to download any related goodies (such as Phobos plugin) as well.
Install the downloaded plug-in following the instructions. The updated AJAX Update Center module screen shot is available here.
Create the web application following the steps in screen cast.
NetBeans 5.5 comes pre-bundled with Apache Tomcat 5.5.17. Go to the "Runtime" tab of NetBeans IDE (default short cut is Ctrl + 5), select the "Bundled Tomcat (5.5.17)", right click and select "Start" to start the Tomcat.
Just for fun, I added the SuDoKu widget.
Once the application is deployed (in step 4) then it can be viewed at http://localhost:8084/WebApplication1 (8084 is the default port, WebApplication1 is context root of your application).

And, with these steps, I could develop a simple rich internet application in few minutes. Once all the configuration is setup, it would take less than a minute to add a pre-built jMaki widget into your web application. The beauty of using JavaScript is that once the web application is deployed, adding new widgets to the page is drag-drop-save-refresh cycle, there is no separate deployment cycle.

Sang Shin (of JavaPassion.com fame) has created a great hands on lab that walks you through the basics of using jMaki widgets. In a later blog, I plan to talk about how to create a jMaki widget from scratch and wrap a widget from one of the existing toolkits.
