OmniFaces 2.0 RC1 available for testing

-
We are happy to announce that we have just released OmniFaces 2.0 release candidate 1.

OmniFaces 2.0 is the first release that will depend on JSF 2.2 and CDI 1.1 from Java EE 7. Our Servlet dependency is now Servlet 3.0 from Java EE 6 (used to be 2.5, although we optionally used 3.0 features before). The minimal Java SE version is now Java 7.

A full list of what's new and changed is available here.

OmniFaces 2.0 RC1 can be tested by adding the following dependency to your pom.xml: 

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.omnifaces</groupId>
    <artifactId>omnifaces</artifactId>
    <version>2.0-RC1</version>
</dependency>

Alternatively the jars files can be downloaded directly.

If no major bugs surface we hope to release OmniFaces 2.0 final in about one week from now.

Implementing container authentication in Java EE with JASPIC

-
This article takes a look at the state of security support in Java EE 6, with a focus on applications that wish to do their own authentication and the usage of the JASPI/JASPIC/JSR 196 API. Update: the further reading section has been moved to my ZEEF page about JASPIC . This contains links to articles, background, questions and answers, and more.   Declarative security is easy In Java EE it has always been relatively straightforward to specify to which resources security constraints should be applied. For web resources (Servlets, JSP pages, etc) there is the <security-constraint> element in web.xml, while for EJB beans there's the @RolesAllowed annotation. Via this so called 'declarative security' the programmer can specify that only a user having the given roles is allowed access to the protected web resource, or may invoke methods on the protected bean. The declarative model has a programmatic counterpart via methods like HttpServletRequest#isUserInR...

Counting the rows returned from a JPA query

-
Despite being almost ten years old, the JPA specification to this day has rather poor support for basic paging/sorting/filtering. Paging/sorting/filtering is used in a lot of (CRUD) applications where the result from a query is shown in a table, and where the user can scroll through the results one page at a time, and where this result can be sorted by clicking on any of the table column headers. In order to support this a number of things are generally needed: The total number of rows (or entities) in the full result must be known There should be support for an offset in the full result and a limit for the amount of rows that will be obtained The column (attribute) on which to sort must be dynamically added to the query Search expressions must be dynamically added to the query As it appears, only offset/limit is directly supported in JPA. A sorting column can only be added dynamically when using the overly verbose and hard to work with Criteria API. Search expressions...

Testing JASPIC 1.1 on IBM Liberty EE 7 beta

-
In this article we take a look at the latest April 2015 beta version of IBM's Liberty server, and specifically look at how well it implements the Java EE authentication standard JASPIC. The initial version of Liberty implemented only a seemingly random assortment of Java EE APIs, but the second version that we looked at last year officially implemented the (Java EE 6) web profile. This year however the third incarnation is well on target to implement the full profile of Java EE 7. This means IBM's newer and much lighter Liberty (abbreviated WLP), will be a true alternative for the older and incredibly obese WebSphere (abbreviated WAS) where it purely concerns the Java EE standard APIs. From having by far the most heavyweight server on the market (weighing in at well over 2GB), IBM can now offer a server that's as light and small as various offerings from its competition. For this article we'll be specifically looking at how well JASPIC works on Liberty. Please ta...
