here i created a java ee 6 based web application to perform CRUD operation on weblogic embedded ldap. JSF 2.0 and Spring ldapTemplate has been used.
the applicationContext.xml is the same as described in my previous post on weblogic embedded ldap. injection of Spring ldapTemplate via CDI is also similar to that post.
lets look at the codes as they speak a lot more than normal explanation,
the model person is a simple pojo
package model;
import java.io.Serializable;
import javax.inject.Named;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;
import org.hibernate.validator.constraints.NotEmpty;
/**
* @author nayef
*/
@Named
public class Person implements Serializable {
@NotEmpty(message = "the uid cant be empty")
private String uid;
@NotEmpty(message = "full name cant be empty")
@Size(max =20, min =5, message="you must provide a full name between 5 to 20 characters")
private String fullName;
@NotEmpty(message = "short name cant be empty")
@Size(max =10, min =3, message="you must provide a short name between 3 to 10 characters")
private String shortName;
@NotEmpty(message = "the password cant be empty")
private String password;
public String getFullName() {
return fullName;
}
public void setFullName(String fullName) {
this.fullName = fullName;
}
public String getPassword() {
return password;
}
public void setPassword(String password) {
this.password = password;
}
public String getShortName() {
return shortName;
}
public void setShortName(String shortName) {
this.shortName = shortName;
}
public String getUid() {
return uid;
}
public void setUid(String uid) {
this.uid = uid;
}
@Override
public String toString() {
return "Person{" + "uid=" + uid + ", fullName=" + fullName + ", shortName=" + shortName + '}';
}
}
the index page contains links of all the other pages,
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?>

the create.xhtml contains a simple form to create

the modify.xhtml is like the following. it contains both options for update and delete.
