JavaScript Frameworks and Java EE – A Great Match
JavaScript frameworks are becoming more popular for building rich clients. Java EE is well-positioned as a backend for JavaScript rich clients, providing capabilities like JAX-RS for REST, the Java API for WebSocket, and JSON processing. The document presents an architecture with the client handling UI rendering and basic logic and the server managing business logic, data, and communication via REST, WebSocket, and server-sent events. It provides a demo on GitHub showing how Java EE can integrate with JavaScript frameworks.

- 4. JavaScript Frameworks inPerspective • Thin client vs. rich client debate is very old • Server-side web frameworks have ruled for a while • JSF, Spring MVC • AJAX mild shift to client • PrimeFaces, GWT • Rich clients powered by JavaScript frameworks making a comeback • Improving JavaScript engines • Better tools (jQuery, MV* frameworks, Chrome, FireFox) • Standards advancement (CSS3, HTML5, WebSocket, HTML Components…) Copyright © 2015 CapTech Ventures, Inc. All rights reserved.
- 5. Computer Science isAbout Tradeoffs • Rich clients clearly better at some things • Complex, dense, dynamic interfaces • “Single page applications” (Applets ;-)) • Not a panacea • Heavily form, workflow driven applications • Server-side rendering still better in terms of maturity, reliability, security, accessibility, internationalization, SEO • JavaScript development not without it’s pains… • Likely co-existence in the long term • Maybe even in the same application!

- 6. My Big FatRich-Client Architecture • Very similar to client/server architecture of lore • Client responsible for UI rendering, basic input validation, logic and state • Server responsible for business logic, domain model, persistence • Communication protocols • REST for majority of cases • WebSocket when full-duplex communication needed • Server-Sent Events (SSE) when only server streaming needed • JavaScript frameworks support REST well, but not WebSocket/SSE • Typical interchange format is JSON Java EE is a great server-side platform for this architecture.

Summary • JavaScript frameworksgaining traction • Java EE well positioned as a JavaScript rich client backend, especially with JAX-RS, the Java API for WebSocket and JSON-P • Support will be even stronger with Java EE 8 • You can use demo code as a starting point Copyright © 2015 CapTech Ventures, Inc.
