Java EE6 Weblogic Exercice 3

Write a new java class called BankAccountOrder

In a new package "beans" write a new class that describes an order we will send as a message to the Message Driven Bean, that will read the message, decode the object received and then delegate the treatment to the AccountFace session bean.

For example, if you send a "createAccount" order with an inital balance of 10.000 and an owner name equals to "Michel Buffa", then when the MDB gets this message, it will call the AccountFacade's create() method for creating a new bank Account. Etc. 

The BankAccountOrder bean should have these properties: order, ammount, name, id1, id2. Not all properties will be necessarily used depending on the value of the order (create, remove, transfert, add, remove, etc.)

It should implements Serializable as instances of BankAccountOrder will be sent through the network as ObjectMessage content.

Adapt the code from the Servlet in order to send instances of BankAccountOrders within JSM ObjectMessages

The example you wrote from the previous section sends TextMessages. Modify the code from the Servlet in order to send an BankAccountOrder. Instead of sending TextMessages, you will have to send ObjectMessages. Just look at the current code of the two methods that send messages:

 private TextMessage createJMSMessageForjmsLoggingMessages(Session session, String messageData) throws JMSException {  
     TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage();
     message.setText(messageData);
     return message;
}

private void sendJMSMessageToDemoQueue(String messageData) throws JMSException {
    Connection connection = null;
    Session session = null;
    try {
        connection = demoMessageFactory.createConnection();
        session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        MessageProducer messageProducer = session.createProducer(demoQueue);
        messageProducer.send(createJMSMessageForjmsLoggingMessages(session, messageData));
        String messageClient = "Message sent :" + messageData;
        System.out.println(messageClient);
    } finally {
        if (session != null) {
            try {
               session.close();
            } catch (JMSException e) {
                Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.WARNING, "Cannot close session", e);
	    }
	}
	if (connection != null) {
	    connection.close();
    }
}

Just change the "String messageData" into "BankAccountOrder messageData" in the input parameters of these methods, change TextMessage by ObjectMessage everywhere.

Adapt the message driven bean so that it can handle ObjectMessages as well as TextMessages

Modify the content of the onMessage(Message message) method by adding a new test:

if (message instance of ObjectMessage) {
    ... 
    //get the object inside the message
    ....
    // Cast it in AccountOrderObjects
    ....
    // decode it (look at the value of the "order" property, get other properties...
    ....
    // Call the AccountFacade to do the work...
}

Make a rapid test to check that more than one instance of the message driven bean may be created

For this test, we will simulate a process that takes a long time. Add this code to the message driven bean in the previous code...

// at the beginning...
System.out.println("Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...");
// call account facad
...
// simulate a 7s treatment
Thread.sleep(7000);

// Print end of treatment
System.out.println("Order processing finished");

Add the required try.. catch... test it. Then when you invoke the servlet, press the reload button a few times quickly in your web browser so that several JMS messages are sent in a short ammount of time. 

Look at the console logs... You should see something like:

Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Order processing finished
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Order processing finished
Order processing finished
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Just got an order to proceed, will take some time...
Order processing finished
Order processing finished

This means that each time a message arrived processing has been done in parallel (by different instances)
