| J2EE Server Module provides support for development of J2EE modules and |
| framework for J2EE server management and for J2EE deployment in IDE. |
| |
| There are two separate api/spi sets in j2eeserver. The devmodules |
| api/spi is for j2ee development modules (web, j2ee app, etc). The |
| plugins api/spi is for server plugins. |
| <h2> devmodules |
| </h2> |
| The spi classes are to be subclassed by dev modules and to be provided |
| as cookies on the development nodes. The api classes are to be used to |
| add actions/properties/additional cookies to those nodes. |
| <h2> plugins |
| </h2> |
| |
| A jsr88 plugin needs to be wrapped in a module with an entry in the |
| /J2EE/DeploymentPlugins folder in the default filesystem, so the server |
| registry can pick it up. In addition to that plugin is also |
| required to provide a J2EE Platform. In order to do it, plugin must implement the |
| {@link org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.plugins.spi.J2eePlatformImpl} |
| interface and register it via the |
| {@link org.netbeans.modules.j2ee.deployment.plugins.spi.J2eePlatformFactory} |
| whose instance must be registered in the module |
| <a href="org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/deployment/plugins/api/doc-files/plugin-layer-file.html">layer file</a>. |
| |
| Plugin may also provide some additional functionality outside the |
| deployment spec through use of the |
| api/spi classes. These additional functionality neeed to be |
| declared through the plugin module |
| <a href="org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/deployment/plugins/api/doc-files/plugin-layer-file.html">layer file</a>. |
| <h2> test plugin |
| </h2> |
| The j2eeserver/test directory contains the source to a sample plugin |
| containing both jsr88 classes and the wrapper to install this into the |
| registry. |
| <h2> user view and design |
| </h2> |
| <p>Documents are available <a href="http://j2eeserver.netbeans.org">online</a>. |
