Technotrance, Illusions and Perspectives

Following suggestions from James Stratchan and Catagay Civici, I set my foot to integrate GuiceyFruit with JPA for the PrimeFaces tutorial I wrote.  You could download the example hosted there and try it. Here are the steps I followed on that Book-Store example and ended up with a cool working code.

1) Add the following repository to pom.xml

<repository>
 <id>guiceyfruit.release</id>
 <name>GuiceyFruit Release Repository</name>
 <url>http://guiceyfruit.googlecode.com/svn/repo/releases/</url>
 <snapshots>
 <enabled>false</enabled>
 </snapshots>
 <releases>
 <enabled>true</enabled>
 </releases>
 </repository>

2) Add the following dependencies

<dependency>
 <groupId>org.guiceyfruit</groupId>
 <artifactId>guiceyfruit-jpa</artifactId>
 <version>2.0-beta-7</version>
 </dependency>

3)  Comment/remove the following dependency

<!--dependency>
 <groupId>com.google.code.guice</groupId>
 <artifactId>guice</artifactId>
 <version>1.0</version>
 </dependency>

 <dependency>
 <groupId>aopalliance</groupId>
 <artifactId>aopalliance</artifactId>
 <version>1.0</version>
 </dependency-->

4) Open the dataservice bould concrete implementation (e.g. BookStoreImpl in the example) and replace @Inject with @javax.persistence.PeristenceContext.

public class BookStoreImpl implements BookStore
{  @PersistenceContext()
   private EntityManager em;
}

5)  Open the WEB-INF/web.xml and modify the context-param ‘optimus.CONFIG_MODULES’  like this

<context-param>
 <param-name>optimus.CONFIG_MODULES</param-name>
 <param-value>com.ts.pfaces.core.BookStoreModule
 ,org.primefaces.optimus.persistence.JPAModule
 ,org.guiceyfruit.jpa.JpaModule
 </param-value>
 </context-param>

And voila it works!
