BMP implementation may vary from one vendor to another. The purpose of this section is to provide a BMP specific feature-to-feature comparison between JBoss v4 and Apache Geronimo so you can clearly identify the differences and plan accordingly before migration.

Sample application

Anchor
sampleApp sampleApp

The Loan BMP application is very simple. When the command line client is run, an entry is made into the database. The findByPrimaryKey() method of the CustomerHomeRemote interface is called and the field values of the returned CustomerRemote object are printed to the console. This is followed by a call to the findBySssNo() method after which the field values of the returned CustomerRemote object are printed to the console.

The following figure illustrates the application flow:

The user runs the command line client which then either creates an entity bean (which then adds itself to the datasource) or asks for one, by primary key, which is created from information that is stored in the database.

...

In order to build the loan application a Maven script has been provided. Download the Loan application from the following URL:link:

Loan BMP Samplehttp://opensource2.atlassian.com/confluence/oss/download/attachments/1148/loan-bmp.zip

After extracting the zip file, a loan-bmp directory will be created. From now on, this directory will be referred as <bmp_home>. In that directory open the project.properties file. Edit the maven.jboss.home property to match your environment.

...

To test the sample client application type the following command from the <bmp_home> directory:

maven run:client

The result of this command is a list of loans that were retrieved from the database similar to the list shown following in the follow:

When you run this command, you will receive a list of all the loans that were retireved from the database, you should see a screen similar to the one shown in the following example:

...

You should see the following screen:

Click on Add Customer. Enter the new customer information then click Create, this will take you to the first page showing the updated list of customers.

...

CREATE TABLE CUSTOMER(ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,NAME VARCHAR(45),BIRTHDATE DATE,SSS_NO VARCHAR(25),ADDRESS VARCHAR(60),ANNUAL_SALARY DOUBLE,LOAN_AMOUNT DOUBLE)

Configure Maven

You should set the maven.geronimo.home property in project.properties to point to your <geronimo_home> directory.

            <resource-link>SystemDatasource</resource-link>
        </resource-ref>
    </entity>
 </enterprise-beans>
</openejb-jar>

This plan sets orggeronimo/apache/geronimo/SystemDatabasesystem-database/1.0/car as the parent. What follows is the definition of the entity bean. The jndi-name element indicates the jndi name of the entity bean's home interface CustomerHomeRemote. This is the name that the Loan BMP sample applicationwill application will lookup in the jndi context. The element local-jndi-name indicates the jndi name of the local interface, which in this case happens to be a remote interface, CustomerRemote. Next, a reference to the SystemDatasource is defined giving the application access to the database.

The Web Application client can be direclty directly deployed in Geronimo. This is because the build step packages both the JBoss jboss-web.xml and Geronimo geronimo-web.xml specific deployment plans in the war file. You can see both of these files in the <bmp_home>\src\webapp\WEB-INF directory.
