Enterprise Application Development with Ext JS and Spring

Overview of this book

Spring and Ext JS are cutting edge frameworks that allow us to build high performance web applications for modern devices, that are now consuming data at a faster rate than ever before. It is the appropriate time for you to understand how to best leverage these technologies when architecting, designing, and developing large scale web development projects. This practical guide condenses an approach to web development that was gained from real world projects, and outlines a simple, practical approach to developing high performance, and enterprise grade web applications. Starting with configuring Java, NetBeans, and MySQL to prepare your development environment, you will then learn how to connect your NetBeans IDE to the MySQL database server. We will then explore the Task Time Tracker (3T) project database structure and populate these tables with test data. Following on from this, we will examine core JPA concepts after reverse engineering the domain layer with NetBeans. Leveraging the Data Access Object design pattern, you will learn how to build the Java DAO implementation layer assisted by generics in base classes, followed by a Data Transfer Object enabled service layer to encapsulate the business logic of your 3T application. The final chapters that focus on Java explore how to implement the request handling layer using Spring annotated controllers, and deploy the 3T application to the GlassFish server. We will then configure the Ext JS 4 development environment and introduce key Ext JS 4 concepts, including MVC and practical design conventions. Covering a variety of important Ext JS 4 strategies and concepts, you will be fully-equipped to implement a variety of different user interfaces using the Ext JS MVC design pattern. Your journey ends by exploring the production build and deployment process using Maven, Sencha Cmd and GlassFish.

The 3T database


The following SQL statements define the MySQL tables used in 3T. It is possible to use any database, and MySQL-specific code is highlighted to identify differences with ANSI SQL.

The company table

A company has projects for which we need to keep track of the time spent on different tasks. The company is, hence, the first table that needs to be defined. It is a very simple structure:

create table ttt_company(
  id_company  int unsigned not null auto_increment,
  company_name varchar(200) not null,
  primary key(id_company)
);

The auto_increment keyword is used by MySQL to identify a number column that should automatically be incremental (the default rate of increment is by one number) based on the current highest value in the column. This is used to generate the id_company primary key values. Let's add some company data:

insert into ttt_company(company_name) values ('PACKT Publishing');
insert into ttt_company(company_name) values ('Gieman It Solutions');
insert into ttt_company...
