Understanding CDI (Contexts and Dependency Injection) Part 3

This is Third  part of CDI discussion.Please visit first part and part two,


@Alternative
In part two we seen @qualifier 's to resolve the unambiguous problem for one interface and more than on implementation. In qualifier helps to solve in development time. (i.e all meta information is stored in class files).
Another solution is @Alternative annotation solve the problem in deployment time. all configuration is stored in beans.xml in WEB-INF folder


We take same example what we discussed in last part 


one interface (Hello) and two implementation(HelloImplOne, HelloImplTwo)
here i marked @Alternative in both implementation




Hello Interface



HelloImplOne Implementation




HelloImplTwo Implementation


and go and modify the beans.xml in WEB_INF folder



In <alternatives> tag in beans.xml we need specify which one need to inject.

See the screen cast for demo

Docker : Tomcat Clustering with Load Balancer (Tomcat and Nginx)

In this post i will show Tomcat Clustering in Docker Container. In  my previous post i discussed how to achieve tomcat clustering with Nginx Front end . Its almost same scenario, but this time we will achieve via docker container. Docker Docker  is an  open-source  project that automates the deployment of  applications  inside  software containers , by providing an additional layer of abstraction and automation of  operating-system-level virtualization  on  Linux . [4]  Docker uses resource isolation features of the Linux kernel  such as  cgroups  and kernel  namespaces  to allow independent "containers" to run within a single Linux instance, avoiding the overhead of starting and maintaining  virtual machine   --Wikipedia

Understanding Virtual Host Concept in Tomcat

Hi in this post we will see how to setup virtual host in Apache Tomcat server. Virtual Host is in-built feature that allows to deploy multiple website(domains) in single instance of tomcat server. The main benefit in this way is its cost effective. Scenario: I am going to deploy 3 website with following domain names in single tomcat http://www.ramki.com http://www.krishnan.com http://www.blog.ramki.com The following diagram is my outline. Outline structure of Virtual Host Concept in Tomcat Here my tomcat IP address 192.168.1.15. or any IP address allocated my ISP. but it should be public IP address. How all domain names are pointing to my Tomcat?                   When we purchase the domain name we need to update the our tomcat IP address to it. like or we can simulate same DNS Setup through hosts file in both Linux and Windows. In Linux tha file is located at /etc/hosts Now How Setup...

File Upload is Easy in JSF2.2

To bring the File Upload feature in Java based web application is one of the difficult and complex job, we need to dependent on 3rd party libraries like Apache Commons FileUpload  Libraries. These libraries codes are complex and most of them boilerplate code. If we are using Java Server Faces (JSF), we have the page with some fields and file upload menu the its add more complexity, fields are binded to backing bean but these file uploads components are need to tie up with some 3rd party file upload libraries. In Primefaces provide easy way to do the file upload in JSF web application, even though primefaces internally used the same Apache Commons FileUpload Libraries, but provide simple JSF tags. We need configure  some listeners.
