Requirement: “Use-Case-as-service” The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB Usecase Process Service Data Service Business Value

Requirement: Portability The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB Container portability (Java EE) Portability across Web app and Portlet Web-app Portlet

Requirement: Web designer friendly templating technology The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB NetWeaver Design in DreamWeaver Development in XML editor

Major Challenge: Re-use at Use-Case-level The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB Usecase Process Service Data Service Business Value

How will Use-cases become components? The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB Demo

Use-cases as Components The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB Semantically equivalent to calling modal dialog in Swing! Composite Application «webcomp» :Edit Address Entry «webcomp» :NewCategory «webcomp» :AddressList 1: editAddressEntry(long) :entryId of new Entry 1.1: addNewCategory() :CategoryId 1.2: addNewCategory() :CategoryId

“ Remove” inherent web programming issues The web framework dream team , Slide Copyright 2008, Callista Enterprise AB public class Game extends Element { private static Random randomNumbers = new Random(); public void processElement() { Template template = getHtmlTemplate(&quot;game&quot;); int answer = 0, guesses = 0, guess = -1; answer = randomNumbers.nextInt(101); while (guess != answer) { print(template); pause(); template.clear(); guess = getParameterInt(&quot;guess&quot;, -1); if (guess < 0 || guess > 100) { template.setBlock(&quot;warning&quot;, &quot;invalid&quot;); continue; } guesses++; if (answer < guess) template.setBlock(&quot;msg&quot;, &quot;lower&quot;); else if (answer > guess) template.setBlock(&quot;msg&quot;, &quot;higher&quot;); } ContinuationContext.getActiveContext().removeContextTree(); template = getHtmlTemplate(&quot;success&quot;); template.setValue(&quot;answer&quot;, answer); template.setValue(&quot;guesses&quot;, guesses); print(template); } } 0. Get a random number between 0 and 100 1. Show the guess-form 2. Repeat until successful guess: 2.1. The user enters a value and submits the form 2.2. Validate the guess. I error (not between 0 and 100), continue at 2. 2.3. Unless successful guess, show whether the guess was under or above the answer. 2.4. Display guess-form. 3.0 Show congratulations screen with number of guesses.
