Enterprise Application Development with Ext JS and Spring

By: Gierer

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.

Defining the CompanyDao test case


Each CompanyDao method should have at least one test method defined. We will include exactly one test method per implemented CompanyDao method. In enterprise applications, we would expect many more scenarios to be covered than the ones identified in the code snippet that follows.

We have also included minimum logging, just enough to split the output when running the test cases. You may wish to add more logging to help analyze the results. The test code assumes that the ttt_company table has appropriate data. In Chapter 2, The Task Time Tracker Database, we added three rows so that we know there is data available. Additional checks would need to be done if we do not have a database with consistent testing data. The file listing is:

package com.gieman.tttracker.dao;

import com.gieman.tttracker.domain.Company;
import java.util.List;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertTrue;
import org.junit.Test;

public class CompanyDaoTest extends AbstractDaoForTesting {...
