<h1>Service Life Cycle Sample Guide</h1>

<h2>Introduction</h2>

<p>This sample is to demonstrate usage of a service life cycle interface and
session scoping with a sample on application scope session. The sample
consists of two parts, Service and Client.</p>

<p>Let's take a library system, which has the following operations, as the
scenario for this sample.</p>
<ul>
  <li>Register user</li>
  <li>Login to system</li>
  <li>View all books</li>
  <li>View available books</li>
  <li>View lend books</li>
  <li>Lend and return books</li>
</ul>

<h2>Why Do We Need Service Life Cycle Here?</h2>

<p>In order to make sure that at the runtime service impl class can access
data read from anywhere, we need to initialize the service at deployment.
Let's forget about the session for a minute and think about the scenario
where you want to populate a bean or need to start a Data Base connection for
the service. In such a situation having service life cycle class is very
useful.</p>

<p>In this sample you will learn how to use the service life cycle class for
your application. The interface has only two methods</p>
<ol>
  <li>startUp</li>
  <li>shutDown</li>
</ol>

<p>Where startUp method will be called when the service is deployed and it
will call only once for that particular service, while shutDown method calls
when system shutdown.</p>

<p>So in this sample, the life cycle class will load the library inside the
startUp method. At the very first time the system will load from
services.xml. It has all the available books in the system. And at the time
of system shutdown it will save the status of the library into a file
(library.xml) in the java.io.temp directory. So the next time onwards it will
populate library using the above file. So all the changes will be there in
the new instance as well.</p>

<h2>Prerequisites</h2>

<p>You will have to install <a href="http://ant.apache.org/">Apache Ant</a>
1.6.2 or later.</p>

<h2>Running the Sample</h2>

<h3>How to Build the Service?</h3>

<p>Building the service is just a matter of running ant build file. It will
create the service aar file, or you could just run the copy.to.tomcat goal
which will copy the aar file into tomcat/web-app/axis2/WEB-INF/services
directory.</p>

<p>Next, go to http://[url and port to your app server]/axis2 and see whether
your service is listed there.</p>

<h3>How to Invoke the Service</h3>

<p>You can invoke complete service using REST API, but it only works in
application servers like Apache Tomcat and it will not work in
SimpleHttpServer. First try to use library system using REST API.</p>

<p>This sample is a simple one and will not do complex tasks. So let's follow
steps given below to make sure that the sample works as it should:</p>

<p><strong>Step 1</strong>:- View all the available books in the library,
just type the URL
http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/listAvailableBook on your
favorite browser.</p>

<p>You will see all the available books in the system.</p>

<p><strong>Step 2</strong> : View all the books in the system at
http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/listAllBook</p>

<p>In this case you will get exactly the same result for both the request,
since no one has borrowed the book.</p>

<p><strong>Step 3</strong>: Now look at all the lent books in the system. And
you will see an empty list at
http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/listLendBook</p>

<p><strong>Step 4</strong> : Register a user. To lend a book or return a
book, you need to register first. Do not register twice, if you try to do so
you will get an exception.</p>

<p>To register you need to give user name and password (have a look at the
wsdl at http://127.0.0.1:port/axis2/services/serviceName?wsdl. You will see
what you need to pass in)</p>

<p>So let's create a user called 'foo' with the password '123'
(http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/register?userName=foo&amp;passWord=123)</p>

<p>Then you will get the following response, if everything has gone well.</p>
<pre>&lt;ns:registerResponse&gt;
&lt;ns:return&gt;true&lt;/ns:return&gt;
&lt;/ns:registerResponse&gt;</pre>

<p><strong>Step 5</strong> : Log into system. To log in you need to pass user
name and password. So let's try to login to system. The request will be
http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/login?userName=foo&amp;passWord=123</p>

<p><strong>Step 6</strong> : Now we are ready to lend a book. To lend a book
you need to pass isbn and userName. Let's try to lend the book with isbn
0-937175-77-3, your request would look like below:</p>

<p>http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/lendBook?isbn=0-937175-77-3&amp;userName=foo</p>

<p>If everything went well, you will see the following response in the
browser.</p>
<pre>&lt;ns:lendBookResponse&gt;
&lt;ns:return&gt;
&lt;author&gt;John Bloomer&lt;/author&gt;
&lt;isbn&gt;0-937175-77-3&lt;/isbn&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Power Programming with RPC&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/ns:return&gt;
&lt;/ns:lendBookResponse&gt;</pre>

<p><strong>Step 7</strong> : Now go and look at lent list again at
http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/listLendBook, you will see the
following output in the browser.</p>
<pre>&lt;ns:listLendBookResponse&gt;
&lt;ns:return&gt;
&lt;author&gt;John Bloomer&lt;/author&gt;
&lt;isbn&gt;0-937175-77-3&lt;/isbn&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Power Programming with RPC&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;/ns:return&gt;
&lt;/ns:listLendBookResponse&gt;</pre>

<p>That's the book you just lent!</p>

<p>Note : Now if we view the available books, you will not see the above book
in that list.</p>

<p><strong>Step 8</strong> : Now let's return the book.</p>

<p>http://127.0.0.1:8080/axis2/services/Library/returnBook?isbn=
0-937175-77-3</p>

<p><strong>Step 9</strong> : Now let's look at the lent book list again, and
you will realize that list is empty.</p>

<p><strong>Step 10</strong> : Lend few more book and re-start the app server
(say Tomcat), and see whether all the previous data is there in the new
instance.</p>

<h3>Running the Java Client</h3>

<p>Open up the LibraryServiceClient java class in your favorite IDE and run
the main class. And you can comment out the methods you do not wish to invoke
while un-commenting the method(s) you want to invoke.</p>

<p>Java client also can be run using <a
href="http://ant.apache.org/">Ant</a>. You can execute the client and invoke
service typing <code>ant run.client</code> command in the
Axis2_HOME/samples/servicelifecycle</p>

<p>And then follow the instructions as mentioned in the console.</p>
