LMAppletserver in Glassfish - invoking EJB3 session bean methods from your applet

The previous blog entry showed how to use LMAppletserver in a web archive (WAR) without any enterprise beans or enterprise app. It could also have been deployed to e.g. Tomcat where you don't have EJB3 session beans.

In this example I'm showing how to call EJB3 session beans from your java applet using LMAppletserver.

Download and start netbeans 6.0 (http://netbeans.org)

Versioning -> Subversion -> Checkout

Checkout the following URL:

http://lmappletserver.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lmappletserver/LMAppletServerEJB3

(no username or password)

Right click on the newly opened LMAppletServerEJB3 project and select "Undeploy and Deploy" to deploy the project.

When the server has started and everything is deployed then open this URL in your browser:

http://localhost:8080/LMAppletServerEJB3-war/

The applet shows a message that is obtained by calling an EJB3 session bean method method on the server, using the RPC features of LMAppletserver. This is what happens in the applet:

HelloWorldRemote helloObj = (HelloWorldRemote)AppletServiceClientProxy.newInstance(HelloWorldRemote.class);
add(new JLabel(helloObj.helloWorld()));

And on the server, a Stateless EJB3 session bean:

@Stateless
public class HelloWorldBean implements HelloWorldRemote {
public String helloWorld() {
return "Hello world from EJB3 session bean";
}
}


See? Calling EJB3 session bean methods using LMAppletServer clients is really simple too .. :)

I get a ClassNotFoundException when running the example under glassfish. And I get a java.lang.ClassCastException: sun.net.www.protocol.file.FileURLConnection when running it under eclipse EE.

Angular components not reloading on route change

Spent a long time wondering why route changes caused strange effects on my component, and found out that it was because my component wasn't reloading at all. I had this assumption that when a route parameter changed (e.g. /projects/1 changed to /projects/2 ) the component for the route would be reloaded. But this is not the default behaviour of the Angular router. The default behaviour of the Angular router is to reuse the route if the configuration is the same (and not reload the component). But we can override this by providing a RouteReuseStrategy to our @NgModule: providers: [ { provide: RouteReuseStrategy, useClass: AARouteReuseStrategy } ] The full custom implementation of the RouteReuseStrategy will then be like this (and it's the shouldReuseRoute method that changes the behaviour so that the component is reloaded on route parameter change): export class AARouteReuseStrategy extends RouteReuseStrategy { shouldDetach(route: ActivatedRou...

Using Angular i18n translation strings outside templates

As of today in Angular 6 i18n is only available in the templates. So what if we want to use translated messages programatically and outside templates? I still use the component template html file to declare the message to be translated, but by obtaining the TemplateRef ViewChild in the component typescript file I can get the translated messages from typescript. <ng-template #boardInvitationEmailBody let-organization="organization" let-url="url"> <ng-container i18n>You have been invited to join the board portal for</ng-container> {{organization}}. <ng-container i18n> Please follow the link to: </ng-container> {{url}} </ng-template> So in the typescript code i can now call the createEmailBodyTranlated text method to get the translated text for use outside the template. @ViewChild('boardInvitationEmailBody') boardInvitationEmailBody: TemplateRef ; createEmailBodyTranslatedText(org...

Conflicting styles with multiple Angular apps in the same page

About two years ago I was gradually converting an old web app to modern Angular. At some point the app was in a state were the Angular components were embedded as multiple apps at different locations in the page. Very soon I found that one app got the css styling rules from the other, and that the APP_ID that was supposed to be present in the generated html/css (according to the docs:  https://angular.io/guide/component-styles#inspecting-generated-css ) was not there. I made a fix for this, and a pull request to Angular and am very happy now see that my fix for this is finally included here So now you should also be able to use Angular for creating multiple standalone widgets, adverts in any web page that is not made in Angular. That could be news sites, blogs, portals or anything. Angular just got new significant areas of use
