3. Introduction of POS POS : Point of Sale Business topic : Web based application for a customer to check out the shopping easily and fast Current Process : Customer comes in store -> Put the item to shopping cart -> Wait to check out -> Clerk help to check out Problem : Customers need to wait for a long time even the item is simple Solution : Put the clerk barcode scanning and checking out systems to each shopping lane and allow for a customer to check out the carts by himself New system to solve the problem : POS J2EE Application Benefits : Portable business solution / Integrated e-business / Save the customer’s time / Down the store cost

4. System Requirement Server side ›Operating System : Win NT 4.0 / Win2K ›Web Server : IIS 4.0 / 5.0 ›Application Server : JRun 3.0.2 ›Database : MS SQL Server 7.0 Client side ›Browser : IE4.0 or higher

7. POS Components Presentation Logic ›HTML ›JSP ›Login.jsp, customers.jsp, customer_profile.jsp, … Interface Logic (Data Modeling) ›Servlet ›EditCustomer.class, DeleteCustomer.class, AddShoppingList.class, … Business Logic ›EJB ›Customer EJB, ShoppingList EJB, …

8. POS Workflow using J2EE design Presentation : JSP Interface : Servlet Business Logic : EJB Benefits : Presentation logic doesn’t implement business logics at all. Every business data is updated through EJB or Servlets. Especially Servlet is reponsible for data modeling for business logic as interface between presentation and business logic. JSPServlet <> EJB Container DB

9. HTML / JSP / Servlet / EJB in POS JSP Engine Servlet Container HTTP Server(HTML) HTTP <> JDBC EJB Container JRun HTTP on LAN DB

10. Defines a standard for developing multi-tier applications ›Vendors collaborate on standards and compete on implementation ›All the pieces of the application are portable across platforms and servers Simplifies application development ›Developer focuses on application logic ›J2EE server handles complexity of lower level services Component ›JSPs / Servlets / EJBs API : Servlet / JSP / EJB / JDBC / JNDI / JavaMail / JMS / JTA Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE)

11. J2EE APIs Servlets › Standard API extending and enhancing Web servers Java Server Pages (JSP) › Standard API for creating dynamic content using static templates Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) › Standard server-side component model Java Database Connectivity (JDBC) JavaMail Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) Java Message Service (JMS) Java Transaction API (JTA) *) POS system : Servlet / JSP / EJB / JNDI / JDBC

12. POS Application with J2EE Provides complete implementation of J2EE › Servlets 2.2 › JSP 1.1 › EJB 1.1 › JNDI › JMS › JDBC › JTA/JTS › JavaMail POS Application ›Servlet 2.2 ›JSP 1.1 ›EJB 1.1 ›JNDI POS Application Work Flow ›Presentation : JSP ›Interface : Servlet ›Business Logic : EJB

13. Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) Server-side component model allowing developers to concentrate on business logic EJB server handles complexity of lower level services EJB API guarantees components to be portable across EJB Servers ›Component life cycle ›State management ›Persistence ›Multi-threading ›Connection pooling ›Transaction management ›Security

14. Entity Beans Used to ›Represent a business entity (like a row in a database table) ›Provide standard access and validation for business entities Persistent (live beyond server lifetime) ›Usually represent data in a database Examples ›Customer, Product, Employee,...

15. Entity Beans Bean Managed Persistence (BMP) ›Developer writes persistence code Container Managed Persistence (CMP) ›EJB properties are mapped to database columns ›Persistence code automatically generated by EJB container Implements javax.ejb.EntityBean

16. Session Beans Used to ›Manage processes and tasks ›Model the workflow of Entity beans ›Retrieve and update data that can't be adequately captured in an entity bean No persistent state Example ›Order a product ›Check out the shopping cart ›Reservation

17. Session Beans Stateful Session Bean ›Maintain a state between method invocations ›Store properties as instance variables ›Expose methods to manipulate properties Stateless Session Bean ›Do not retain information between method invocations ›Each method is completely independent › Client passes needed information as parameters to the method instance pooling › Participate in instance pooling ›Greatest scalability ›Many clients share limited number of instances Implements javax.ejb.SessionBean

18. Home / Remote Interface Home Interface ›Defines methods to create (obtain), find, or remove a Bean Instance on behalf of the client ›Extends javax.ejb.EJBHome Remote Interface ›Defines the bean's business methods ›Extends javax.ejb.EJBObject

19. Packaging the Bean in a JAR File ShoppingListHome.class ShoppingList.class ShoppingListEJB.class ejb.xml Includes: ›Bean class ›Remote interface ›Home Interface ›Deployment descriptor (ejb.xml)

20. Deploy Tool Deploy Tool(Macromedia KAWA, J2EE deploytool) generates stub classes and object classes Deploy Tool uses jar file and generates necessary classes for EJB server Stub classes ›Downloaded to a client dynamically at run time ›Used by client Object classes ›Implement all corresponding interfaces ›Used by EJB server

21. EJB Conceptual Architecture EJB Server EJB Class EJB Object Stub Remote Interface JNDI Server InitialContext lookup(“Customer") EJB Home Stub Home Interface EJB Object Remote Interface EJB Home Home Interface create/find getList( )  ‚  „   

22. Development Process EJB CustomerHome.class Customer.class CustomerEJB.class ejb.xml EJB Devloper Developer › Home Interface › Remote Interface › EJB class › Support classes Deployer (Deploy tool) › Packaging Interfaces, EJB class, and support classes › Deploy the packaged EJB (jar file) Server › Implement EJB EJB Servers

23. POS Component Example Add, remove, and display a customer shopping list Index.jsp ShoppingListSession Add Remove Display Display all shopping list from EJB Form action to add / remove shopping list Capture the Shopping list id Call bean method to be fit with each action Implement get, add, remove shipping list methods AddShoppingList RemoveShoppingList DB ShoppingCart Table Select, update, delete shopping list from ShoppingCart table

24. POS Security Mechanism Form Based JRun application security based on J2EE User / Group / Role Protect entire application JSPs / Servlets / EJBs *) DatabaseAthentication.java to verify user using DB Login.jsp HTML JSP Servlet EJB Other Resources Authentication* Servlet Loginerror.jsp POS

25. POS Scheduler Jrun provides a Scheduler servlet to execute actions at specified times Scheduler servlet : allaire.jrun.scheduler.CronService Defines the servlet in web.xml Application defines Schedule.ini for the service Schedule.ini includes the rule and the requests to be scheduled * If this service is used in application, this application is not potable because JRun added this service.

26. Web.xml sample for scheduler defines the service POSScheduler allaire.jrun.scheduler.CronService POSScheduler Scheduler for POS System schedfile C:\JRun\3.0\servers\default\pos-app\schedule.ini logfile C:\JRun\3.0\servers\default\pos-app\scheduler-log\pos-scheduler.log Except those bold tags, developer can give any name or file

27. Schedule.ini Example Schedule.ini is defined in web.xml schedfile C:\JRun\3.0\servers\default\pos-app\schedule.ini Developer can use any file name on that Schedule.ini example # This is the ini file for JRun scheduler # Scheduler checks the shopping cart table every ten minutes and updates the shopping cart status. # If the shopping cart items are found to be older than 2hr, those will be deleted. # Those items to be older than 2hr are supposed to be not in the cart or customer left the store without checkout. 0 0,10,20,30,40,50 * * * * http://localhost/pos/servlet/SchedulerForShoppingCart Scheduler runs this servlet every ten minutes
