Web Materialize

This is a sample project that demonstrates the integration of materialize css into a common JSF application. The project serves as minimal template to demonstrate the following things:

  1. A simple user interface based on JSF. Primefaces and MaterializeCSS are used to implement material design.
  2. Some simple CDI beans that are used via Unified Expression Language (UEL) in conjunction with the user interface.
  3. A simple stateless session bean (UserController). This bean is also exposed as REST service.
  4. Exemplary integration tests based on Failsafe, Cargo and JUnit. This includes:
    • Web-based interface tests performed with Web Driver. For an easy setup, a GitHub project by Boni Garcia is included.
    • Simple web service tests with the help of RestEasy.

Current Status

The application includes a landing page with some sample content and a typical navbar, some links in it and a login page (called from the button in the navbar). The login is a dummy login just used to illustrate some layout functionality.

The example serves as a minimum example. To limit the scope to the essentials, the example does not include the user control or security mechanisms you would expect from a production-ready application.

Build & Deployment

The project is configured to be built and deployed by means of common maven goals. More convenience may be reached by using an IDE such as NetBeans, IntelliJ oder eclipse.

  1. In order to enable a quick build and installation, tests may be skipped during clean, install and package commands.
  2. The project is ready to be executed on Payara 182.
  3. For the first application start, create an empty derby database called material.
  4. You will also need to install the basic theme which is included as basetheme.jar. You simply have to install it to your maven repository. Todo so, just cd to your project folder and then execute the following command:
foo@bar:~$ mvn install:install-file -Dfile=basetheme.jar -DgroupId=de.hspf.sysdev \ 
           -DartifactId=basetheme -Dversion=1.0 -Dpackaging=jar 

Execution of Integration Tests

Two profiles are prepared in order to execute the integration tests. One profile does execute all tests against a remote payara server, the other profile executes all tests against wildfly. The second profile will utilize maven to download and fire up wildfly as test environment.

To execute integration tests against payara and skip unit tests, execute the following maven command

foo@bar:~$ mvn verify -Dskip.surefire.tests -P payaratest 

Keep in mind that you need to have payara up and running. In addition payara connection is defined by the project's pom-file as:

<payara.adminPort>50192</payara.adminPort>
<payara.username></payara.username>
<payara.password></payara.password>
<payara.hostname>localhost</payara.hostname>
<payara.domainName>domain1244</payara.domainName>
<payara.home></payara.home>
<payara.domainDir>${payara.home}/glassfish/domains</payara.domainDir>

feel free to change this configuration or alter your payara configuration to match to it. If you intend to test on wildfly, you may call instead

foo@bar:~$ mvn verify -Dskip.surefire.tests -P wildflytest
