JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform

By: Kenneth Finnigan

Overview of this book

CDI simplifies dependency injection for modern application developers by taking advantage of Java annotations and moving away from complex XML, while at the same time providing an extensible and powerful programming model. "JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform" is a practical guide to CDI's dependency injection concepts using clear and easy-to-follow examples. This will help you take advantage of the power behind CDI, as well as providing a firm understanding of how to use it within your applications. "JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform" covers all the major aspects of CDI, breaking it down into understandable pieces. This book will take you through many examples of how these concepts can be utilized, helping you get up and running quickly and painlessly. "JBoss Weld CDI for Java Platform" gives you an insight into the different scopes provided by CDI and the use cases for which each has been designed. You will learn everything about dependency injection, scopes, events, producers, and more from JBoss Weld CDI, as well as how producers can create new beans for consumption within your application. You will also learn how to build a real world application with CDI using JSF and AngularJS for different web interfaces.

Chapter 10. Book Store – User Interfaces

This chapter will expand the book store application we developed the services for in Chapter 9, Book Store – CDI Services, by developing a user interface for the customer and administrator using two different technologies. This will enable us to see how CDI services can be reused to create two distinct user interfaces.

The customer user interface will be developed with AngularJS, though it could have been developed with any other JavaScript or view technology currently available. It will interact with CDI through REST to retrieve and store the data as required.

The administration interface will instead be developed with JSF2 and RichFaces for additional components for our interface. We will develop CDI beans for use in the JSF views to interact with our services, as we deem necessary.

Note
