a RESTful Pet Catalog

Posted by caroljmcdonald on August 5, 2008 at 12:03 PM EDT
Sample Application using dojo, the Java API for Restful Web Services JAX-RS, and the Java Persistence APIs

a RESTful Pet Catalog


This Sample Pet Store Catalog application shows how to expose a  Catalog  as a RESTful Web Service for remote client applications, and it shows how to code a Dojo client which  gets and displays the Web Service responses in a dynamic Ajax table ( Dojo grid). I re-implemented this Sample Catalog application implemented with JAX-WS on the server side and JSF on the client side which is also available in the Java One Metro hands on lab.

Download the RESTful Pet Catalog Code

Dojo  is an open source DHTML toolkit written in JavaScript.

JAX-RS provides a standardized API for building RESTful web services in Java. Central to the RESTful architecture is the concept of resources identified by universal resource identifiers (URIs). The API  provides a set of annotations which you can add to Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs)  to expose web resources identified by URIs .

Explanation of the usage of Dojo and JAX-RS in a sample Catalog Application

The image below shows the Catalog Listing page, which allows a user to page through a list of items in a store.

Quick installation and use of dojo with Netbeans

There are 3 ways to install dojo which you can read about in the book of dojo. A quick and easy way to use dojo with Netbeans is to download the JavaScript libraries from http://dojotoolkit.org/downloads.   Create a new NetBeans Web Applications project. Extract the dojo toolkit  into the project web directory: .../web , then rename dojo-release-1.1.1/ to src/  this will give you the project structure shown below.  I have already done this for the sample project so you do not have to download dojo in order to run the sample.

Dojo style sheets

Every page using the dojo Grid needs to import the grid style sheet Grid.css as shown below:

Code Sample from:  index.html

    <style type="text/css">
      /* tundraGrid.css matches Dijit Tundra style. */
      @import "src/dojox/grid/_grid/tundraGrid.css";
      @import "src/dijit/themes/tundra/tundra.css";
      @import "src/dojo/resources/dojo.css";
      @import "src/dojox/grid/_grid/Grid.css";
    </style>

This will load the the CSS files required by the Dojo grid widget, you can just use  dojox/grid/_grid/Grid.css instead of tundraGrid if you don't want the  tundra style. 

Loading base dojo and required modules into an application

In order to load dojo into your application,  put the relative path to the dojo.js file in a script element in the head section of your  HTML page as shown below:

Code Sample from:  index.html

 <script type="text/javascript" src="src/dojo/dojo.js"
           djConfig="isDebug: true, debugAtAllCosts: false,
           parseOnLoad: true">
 </script>

This script element will load the base dojo script which gives you access to all the dojo functionality.

Next  the application specifies which  dojo modules to load, using  the dojo.require function (kind of like  import in Java):

Code Sample from:  index.html

 <script type="text/javascript">
   dojo.require("dojox.grid.Grid");
   dojo.require("dojox.grid._data.model");
   dojo.require("dojo.parser");
 </script>

Dojo is organized into three major layers: Dojo Core, Dijit, and DojoX.   DojoX builds on  Dojo Core and provides newer extensions to the Dojo toolkit. The rest of the Java Script for this application is in the file dynamicTable.js.

The Grid Widget

You can use widgets declaratively by using special attributes inside of regular HTML tags, or programmatically through JavaScript.
The dojoType attribute declares a Dojo widget. Below is the declaration of the Grid widget for this applicaton:
 
Code Sample from:  index.html

<div id="grid" dojoType="dojox.Grid" model="model" structure="layout">
</div>

The model and structure attributes point to the  JavaScript variables for the model and layout structure explained below.

The Grid View

A Dojo grid  is a widget useful for displaying data sets in a table with its own scrollable views.  The dojo grid widget requires a layout. A grid layout is declared as an array of views.  Each view is a group of columns,  declared as an array of arrays. Each array element is an object, the "name" property of the object names the column. The column names will be displayed in the top row of the grid. The code below declares 4 columns: Company, City, State, Zip. This grid layout structure consists of one view as shown  below:

Code Sample from:  dynamicTable.js

formatImage = function(value) {
    if (!value)
        return '&nbsp;';   
        return "<img src='" + value + "'/>";   
};

 
// Data Grid layout
// A grid view is a group of columns
var view1 = {
            cells: [
        [
            {name: 'Name', field: "name"},
            {name: 'Description', field: "description", width: '200px'},
            {name: 'Photo',field: "imagethumburl", formatter: formatImage, width: '120px'},
            {name: 'Price',field: "price"}
        ]
    ]
};
// a grid layout is an array of views.
var layout = [ view1 ];



The Grid Model

The dojo grid widget requires a data model. The model variable declares the type of Dojo object that the Grid will use for the json data that will be loaded in the grid. There are different options for the model, this example uses the dojox.grid.data.Objects which is a collection of objects to be displayed in the grid.

Code Sample from:  dynamicTable.js

// the model will contain the data to be displayed in the view
model = new dojox.grid.data.Objects(null,null);

function handleResponse(responseObject, ioArgs){
    // set the model object with the returned items list
    model.setData(responseObject.items.item);       
}  

// make request to the items web service
function loadTable(page){
    start = page * batchSize;
    var targetURL = "resources/items/?start="+ encodeURIComponent(start);   
    dojo.xhrGet({
        url: targetURL,
        handleAs: "json",
        load: handleResponse,
        error: handleError
    });
}

The loadTable function calls   dojo.xhrGet to make an XMLHttpRequest to the items JAX-RS web service specified by the url: parameter. When the response from web service is returned, the callback function  handleResponse specified by load: is called and the response is passed to the callback function in the responseObject. The handleAs  parameter specifies the response data type, handleAs: "json"  means the returned data is of the type JSON (Java Script object notation).
In the   handleResponse callback function,  model.setData is called to populate the Dojo grid  with the data returned from the  the  items JAX-RS web service. Below is an example of a JSON response from the items JAX-RS web service:

Example json data

{"items":
  {"@uri":"http://host/catalog/resources/items/",
   "item":[
     {"@uri":"http://host/catalog/resources/items/1/",
       "name":"Friendly Cat",
      "description":"This black and white colored cat is super friendly.",     
       "id":"1",
       "imageurl":"http://localhost:8080/CatalogService/images/anthony.jpg"},
     {"@uri":"http://host/catalog/resources/items/2/",
       "name":"Fluffy Cat",
       "description":"A great pet for a hair stylist!
       "id":"2",
       "imageurl":"http://localhost:8080/CatalogService/images/bailey.jpg"}
    ]
  }
}

Loading the table

The dojo.addOnLoad function allows you to call a  function after a page has loaded and after Dojo has finished its initilization. This application uses dojo.addOnLoad to call the loadTable() function (which we looked at above)  which calls the  items JAX-RS web service and sets the results in the grid data model.

Code Sample from:  dynamicTable.js

    <script type="text/javascript">
        dojo.addOnLoad(function(){
            loadTable(0);
        });
    </script>
 

Events for paging

The  "<<",  ">>" buttons call the next() previous() functions when clicked:

Code Sample from:  index.html

<input type="button" value="<<" onclick="previous();">
</input>
<input type="button" value=">>" onclick="next();">
</input>

The next() function  increments the page number and then calls the loadTable() funtion:

Code Sample from: dynamicTable.js


function next() {
    page =page + 1;
    loadTable(page);
}

function previous() {
    page =page - 1;
    if (page < 0) page = 0;
    loadTable(page);
}

RESTful  Web Services with JAX-RS

The  dojo.xhrGet  url: parameter  references the URI  resources/items/ for the items   RESTful web service.  The items RESTful web service was generated using Netbeans 6.1 as explained in the Generating RESTful Web Services from Entity Classes  tutorial.  Using Netbeans 6.1 you can generate JPA Entity Classes from Database tables, then you can Generate RESTful Web Services from Entity Classes, and then you can test the Web Services with a browser interface. The items RESTful web service was generated from the item data base table (the sql is in the how to run section). 

Below is a snippet from the ItemsResource.java class which was generated by the Netbeans "Generate RESTful Web Services from Entity Classes" feature :

Code Sample from: ItemsResource.java

// Service URI path "/items/"
@Path("/items/")
public class ItemsResource {
  
    @GET
    @ProduceMime("application/json")
    public ItemsConverter get(@QueryParam("start")
            @DefaultValue("0") int start, @QueryParam("max")
            @DefaultValue("4") int max, @QueryParam("expandLevel")
            @DefaultValue("1") int expandLevel, @QueryParam("query")
            @DefaultValue("SELECT e FROM Item e") String query) {
        try {
            ItemsConverter items = new ItemsConverter(
                getEntities(start, max, query),
                context.getAbsolutePath(), expandLevel);
            return items;
        } finally {
            PersistenceService.getInstance().close();
        }
    }

The ItemsResource represents a list of items. The ItemsResource  get method returns a list of Item objects in JSON format. 
  • To address a resource in REST you specify its URI.  @Path is a JAX-RS annotation that identifies the URI path for the resource. For the ItemsResource  the URI path is /items/.
  • @GET specifies that the get method supports the HTTP GET method.
  • @ProduceMime specifies the MIME types that a method can produce. Here, the annotation specifies that the get method returns a JSONArray object.  The ItemsConverter class is a JAXB annotated class which is used to marshal a list of Item objects into XML or JSON format.   The getEntities method returns a list of Item entity objects and is explained below.  
  • @QueryParam specifies input parameters for methods.  When the method is invoked, the input value will be injected into the corresponding input argument. 
  • @DefaultValue specifies a default value for an arguement if no input value is given.
Here is an example of an HTTP request for this Web Service:

Request: GET http://host/catalog/resources/items/?start=0

Here is an example of an HTTP response for this Web Service:

Received:
{"items":
  {"@uri":"http://host/catalog/resources/items/",
   "item":[
     {"@uri":"http://host/catalog/resources/items/1/",
       "name":"Friendly Cat",
      "description":"This black and white colored cat is super friendly.",     
       "id":"1",
       "imageurl":"http://localhost:8080/CatalogService/images/anthony.jpg"},
     {"@uri":"http://host/catalog/resources/items/2/",
       "name":"Fluffy Cat",
       "description":"A great pet for a hair stylist!
       "id":"2",
       "imageurl":"http://localhost:8080/CatalogService/images/bailey.jpg"}
    ]
  }
}


The ItemsConverter class is a JAXB annotated class, used to marshal a list of Item objects into XML or  JSON format.  A snippet of the ItemsConverter class is shown below:


Code Sample from: ItemsConverter.java

@XmlRootElement
public class ItemsConverter {

    @XmlElement
    public Collection<ItemConverter> getItem(){
       ...
       return items;
    }
    @XmlAttribute
    public URI getUri() {
        return uri;
    }


Java Persistence Query API

The ItemsResource getEntities method uses the Java Persistence API Query object to return a list of items.

Code Sample from: ItemsResource.java

@Path("/items/")
public class ItemsResource {
  
    . . .

    protected Collection<Item> getEntities(int start, int max, String query) {
        PersistenceService ps = PersistenceService.getInstance();
        Query query = ps.createQuery(query);
        query.setFirstResult(start);
        query.setMaxResults(max);
        return query.getResultList();
    }
 

The Java Persistence Query APIs are used to create and execute queries that can return a list of results.  The JPA Query interface provides support for pagination via the setFirstResult() and setMaxResults() methods: query.setMaxResults(int maxResult) sets the maximum number of results to retrieve. query.setFirstResult(int startPosition) sets the position of the first result to retrieve.

In the code below, we show the Item entity class which maps to the  item table that stores the item instances. This is a typical Java Persistence entity object. There are two requirements for an entity:
  1. annotating the class with an @Entity annotation.
  2. annotating the primary key identifier with @Id
Because the fields name, description.... are basic mappings from the object fields to columns of the same name in the database table, they don't have to be annotated. 
For more information on Netbeans and JPA see basics of developing a web application using Java™ Persistence API.


Code Sample from: Item.java

@Entity

public class Item implements Serializable {

    @Id  
    private Long id;
    private String name;
    private String description; 
    private String imageurl; 
    private String state; 
    private BigDecimal price;
    
    public Item() { }
     
    public String getName() {
        return name;
    }
    public void setName(String name) {
        this.name = name;
    }
   . . .
}   




Conclusion
This concludes the sample application which  demonstrates a RESTful Web Service, coded using JAX-RS: Java API for RESTful Web Services (JSR-311) , which provides a list of items, and a dojo client which  gets and displays the Web Service responses in a dynamic Ajax table.

Bright, looks like your application has an Error with allocating a datasource connection. I haven't seen this problem myself. You could ask in the glassfish forum

by dangoulet1 - 2009-02-06 23:46

Hi Carol, I just wanted to say thanks for this great idea. I'm going to give this a go sometime over the weekend. We've been using woodstock and feel it's too heavy and now that things are up in the air with that project it's time to start reviewing other technologies that will work with our existing Netbeans 6.0 JSF woodstock project. Cheers, Dan

Hi Carol, I think this is a perfect kickstart tutorial - especially with all the pieces made coincise i mean JPA, JAXB, JAX-RS. Good job. One problem though, After deploying my application to Glassfish, i can run to access the catalog list from my browser as expected from the tutorial. But when the page is left idle for say 5min, there's no way i am able to get access to the page, as all get is the exception below; Exception [TOPLINK-4002] (Oracle TopLink Essentials - 2.0.1 (Build b04-fcs (04/11/2008))): oracle.toplink.essentials.exceptions.DatabaseException Internal Exception: java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection.

There was a change with Netbeans 6.5 , I uploaded a new version. You could also download the HOL which explains how to build the app from scratch.

One more point: When I am running this app on IE 6, it gives an alert with message: "Stack overflow at line: 17"

I have tried it with IE 6.0 and Firefox as well. Though, When I tried testing Restful Web services, it runs fine. But, only the problem is on the client-side, I think.

by caroljmcdonald - 2009-01-07 09:13

sorry I haven't seen that error, its probably related to your browser, which one are you using

by sumved - 2009-01-07 05:10

Hi Carol It has been really nice learning tho' your compact tutorial. Thanks for providing such a nice tutorial. I have a little issue while I was trying to run "catalog" project in Netbeans 6.5 On browser I get some javascript error: [ Error: Out of stack space ] [ Error: Out of memory ] [ Error: already called! ] [ Error: Object doesn't support this property or method ] Can you please suggest why I am getting this error? Thanking you. Regards, Sumved Shami
