Enterprise Bean
Enterprise
Java
• Component that can be deployed in any EJB-compliant
application server
• Component interface for its operations (Remote and Local)
• Home Interface for create, find, and remove (Remote and
Local)
• Bean Implementation
– implements business methods
– implements finder (BMP Entity), home (2.0 Entity), and Select
(2.0 CMP Entity) methods
v041102

Bean Types
Enterprise
Java
• Entity Beans
– Represents persistent data in a database
• Account and deposit()
– Exists indefinitely
– Bean-managed and Container-managed persistence
• Session Beans
– Represents business logic operations
• Teller and transfer()
– Stateless and Stateful
– Exist for lifetime of client session

Entity Bean (from Spec)
Enterprise
Java
• Provides an object view of data in the database
• Allows shared access from multiple users
• Can be long-lived (lives as long as the data in the
database)
• The entity, its primary key, and its remote
reference survive the crash of the EJB container
v041102
Entity Beans
8
Entity Bean Support
Enterprise
Java
• Optional in EJB 1.0
• Required in EJB 1.1
• Revised in EJB 2.0
– Added Abstract Schemas
– Added EJB Query Language which is portable across different database
technologies (even though it is similar to SQL)
– Added Container Managed Relationships
– EJB 1.1 support still a requirement in EJB 2.0
• EJB 2.1
– J2EE 1.4, timers, ELB-QL updates
• EJB 3.0 radical changes (early draft review)

Entity Bean States
Enterprise
Java
• Does Not Exist
– no instance instantiated
– default state at container startup
• Pooled
– state entered when container offers component
– state re-entered when object disassociated from bean
• Ready
– state where business methods can be invoked
v041102
Entity Beans
11
Entity Bean Transitions
Enterprise
Java
• Does Not Exist -> Pooled
– methods invoked
• Class.newInstance() (default constructor)
– usually not provided/no behavior
– place all bean initialization code in setEntityContext and
object initialization in ejbCreate/ejbPostCreate
• setEntityContext(EntityContext ctx)
– establish EJB’s reference to container (ctx)
v041102
Entity Beans
12
Entity Bean Transitions
Enterprise
Java
• Pooled -> Ready (via creation)
– occurs when client invokes a Home.create(<args>)
– object created, bean instance located
– methods invoked
• ejbCreate(<args>)
– may establish properties
– must establish primary key
– object not yet ready to be advertised
• ejbPostCreate(<args>)
– establish relationships (object ready to be advertised)
v041102
Entity Beans
13
Entity Bean Transitions
Enterprise
Java
• Pooled -> Ready (via query)
– occurs when Home.find (<args) or
this.ejbSelect(<args>) invoked to return objects
– bean selected from pool, associated with object
– methods invoked
• ejbActivate()
– called after object associated with bean instance
– no transaction or security context
– no interaction with database
v041102
Entity Beans
14
Entity Bean Transitions
Enterprise
Java
• Ready -> Pooled (passivation)
– occurs after ejbStore() and just prior to disassociating
object from bean
– bean returned to pool
– methods invoked
• ejbPassivate()
– simply a notification
– no state serialized as in Stateful Session Beans
– no interaction with database
v041102
Entity Beans
15
Entity Bean Transitions
Enterprise
Java
• Ready -> Pooled (removal)
– occurs when client invokes object.remove()
– bean returned to pool
– methods invoked
• ejbRemove()
– must release any object-specific resources (identical to
ejbPassivate())
» may call ejbPassivate() within ejbRemove()
– called prior to database removal in CMP
– called to remove from database in BMP
v041102
Entity Beans
16
Entity Bean Transitions
Enterprise
Java
• Ready State
– occurs when client invokes object.<business method>()
– bean activated from pool
– methods invoked
• ejbLoad()
– synchronize cache with database (read from database)
– called after db load in CMP; command to load in BMP
• business method
• ejbStore()
– synchronize cache with database (write to database)
– called prior to db store in CMP; command to store in BMP

PrimaryKey Class
Enterprise
Java
• Uniquely Identifies Object within database
• Two Objects are considered the same if they have
the same Home and their PrimaryKey objects are
equal
• Single primary keys can be mapped to java.lang
classes (e.g. java.lang.String)
• Single primary keys may optionally be
implemented with a custom Primary Key Class
• Compound primary keys must be implemented
with a custom Primary Key Class
v041102
Entity Beans
22
PrimaryKey Classes
Enterprise
Java
• key values
– must be legal RMI-IIOP types
– must match in type and name with declaration in the
bean class
– must be public
• class must implement a Default Constructor,
hashCode() and equals() methods
• must be Serializable
v041102
Entity Beans
23
Create the PrimaryKey Class
Enterprise
Java
package corej2ee.examples.entitybooks;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class BookPK implements Serializable {
public String id;
public BookPK()
{}
//this one is required
public BookPK(String id) { this.id = id; } //this one is optional
public String toString() { return id; }
public int hashCode()
{ return id.hashCode(); }
public boolean equals(Object rhs) {
try { return ((BookPK)rhs).id.equals(id); }
catch (Throwable ex) { return false;}
}
}
v041102
Entity Beans
24
Value Objects
Enterprise
Java
• Used to transfer data between the EJB Tier and
client-tiers
• Pass-by-Value semantics
• Also called “Data Transfer Objects” (DTOs)
• Very similar to structs
• Used by bulk accessors
– bulk accessor interfaces usually declared in Session
Façade Remote
v041102
Entity Beans
25
Create Book Value Objects
Enterprise
Java
package corej2ee.examples.entitybooks;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class Book implements Serializable {
private String id_; private String title_;
private String author_; private String topic_;
public Book() {}
public Book(String id, String title, String author, String topic) {
id_ = id;
title_ = title; author_ = author; topic_ = topic; }
public String getId()
{ return id_; }
public String getTitle()
{ return title_; }
...
public void setTitle(String title) { title_ = title; }
...
}
v041102
Entity Beans
26
Object Interface
Enterprise
Java
• Defines the business methods to be implemented
by the Bean that can be invoked by a client
• Arguments and return types must be legal RMIIIOP types
• Local Interface
– fine-grain access from Session Façade
• Remote Interface
– larger-grain bulk accessors
v041102
Entity Beans
27
Local Object Interface
Enterprise
Java
• Must extend javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject
• Methods may not throw
javax.ejb.RemoteException
package corej2ee.examples.entitybooks.ejb;
public interface BookLocal extends javax.ejb.EJBLocalObject {
String getId();
String getTitle();
String getAuthor();
String getTopic();
void setTitle(String title);
void setAuthor(String author);
void setTopic(String topic);
}
v041102
Entity Beans
28
Remote Object Interface
Enterprise
Java
• Must extend javax.ejb.EJBObject
• Methods throw java.rmi.RemoteException
package corej2ee.examples.entitybooks.ejb;
import javax.ejb.EJBObject;
import java.rmi.RemoteException;
public interface BookRemote extends EJBObject {
Book getValues() throws RemoteException;
void setValues(Book values) throws RemoteException;
}
v041102
Entity Beans
29
Home Interface
Enterprise
Java
• create<Suffix>() and create<Suffix>( args )
– creates row in database
– optional with entity beans
– must have matching ejbCreate<Suffix>() and ejbPostCreate<Suffix>()
methods in bean implementation if present
• find()
– findByPrimaryKey(<primary key class>) is mandatory
– other finders can be implemented
• ex. findByName(String firstName, String lastName);
• ex. findByAddress(String address);
– return types include java.util.Collection and java.util.Set
• <home methods>() - work on table as a whole

Database Synchronization
Enterprise
Java
• As with all EJBs, only a single thread can be
running within a bean instance
• Multiple entity bean instances can be created to
represent same data in database
• Consistency ?
– ejbLoad() and ejbStore() are called to synchronize bean
with underlying storage
v041102
Entity Beans
58
State Management
Enterprise
Java
• State synchronization methods
– ejbLoad
– ejbStore
• Resource Management methods
– ejbActivate
– ejbPassivate
v041102
Entity Beans
59
Entity Bean Types
Enterprise
Java
• Bean can have total control over loading and
storing from database
– Bean Managed Persistence (BMP)
• Container can take over this responsibility
– Container Managed Persistence (CMP)
– Specialized Implementations
• Toplink for relational databases
• CICS
v041102
Entity Beans
60
CMP Summary
Enterprise
Java
• Eliminates a lot of code
– less code means fewer bugs
• Provides support for relationships (covered later)
• Provides support for database-generic queries
(EJB-QL covered later)
• Problems
– abstract model based on Java; database
implementations do not always map Java constructs the
same

Bean Managed Persistence (BMP)
Enterprise
Java
• The BookBMPBean uses BMP
– implemented all database interaction
– create, remove, and find
• Have to do object-relational mapping
• Synchronize bean state with database when
requested by container
v041102
Entity Beans
63
Activation and Passivation
Enterprise
Java
• When Passivated, bean should give up any
resources held on behalf of the data represented by
the Primary Key
• When Activated, bean can acquire and resources

• Have to handle all database interaction
– except transactions
• ejbLoad() and ejbStore() called when bean
instance state must be synchronized with database
• ejbActivate() and ejbPassivate() called when bean
is moved between the ready state and pooled state

Entity Bean Performance Issues

Performance Issues
Enterprise
Java
• When could Entity Beans be expensive
– CMP performs eager database synchronization on each
transaction (EJB 2.0 abstract schema much better)
– BMP allows for lazy database synchronization
• Who should call the Entity Bean’s Remote
methods ?
• Should you utilize entity beans at all ?
– Performance hit - all calls go through the container via
the EJBObject
– Higher performance going directly to the databases vs.
functionality of container
