Title: Singleton Example
-{tip:title=OpenEJB 3.1 or later required}
-<a name="SingletonExample-Overview"></a>
-# Overview
-
-As the name implies a javax.ejb.Singleton is a session bean with a
-guarantee that there is at most one instance in the application.
-
-What it gives you that is completely missing in EJB 3.0 and prior versions
-is the ability to have an EJB that is notified when the application starts
-and notified when the application stops. So you can do all sorts of things
-that you previously could only do with a load-on-startup servlet. It also
-gives you a place to hold data that pertains to the entire application and
-all users using it, without the need for a static. Additionally, Singleton
-beans can be invoked by several threads at one time similar to a Servlet.
-
-_See the [Singleton Beans](singleton-beans.html)
- page for a full description of the javax.ejb.Singleton api._

-<a name="SingletonExample-PropertyRegistryBean"></a>
-## PropertyRegistryBean
-
-Here we see a bean that uses the Bean-Managed Concurrency option as well as
-the *@Startup* annotation which causes the bean to be instantiated by the
-container when the application starts. Singleton beans with
-*@ConcurrencyManagement(BEAN)* are responsible for their own thread-safety.
- The bean shown is a simple properties "registry" and provides a place
-where options could be set and retrieved by all beans in the application.

-
-<a name="SingletonExample-ComponentRegistryBean"></a>
-## ComponentRegistryBean
-
-Here we see a bean that uses the Container-Managed Concurrency option, the
-default. With *@ConcurrencyManagement(CONTAINER)* the container controls
-whether multi-threaded access should be allowed to the bean (*@Lock(READ)*)
-or if single-threaded access should be enforced (*@Lock(WRITE)*).
-
-{snippet:url=openejb3/examples/simple-singleton/src/main/java/org/superbiz/registry/ComponentRegistryBean.java|lang=java|id=code}
-
-Unless specified explicitly on the bean class or a method, the default
-@Lock value is @Lock(WRITE). The code above uses the @Lock(READ)
-annotation on bean class to change the default so that multi-threaded
-access is granted by default. We then only need to apply the @Lock(WRITE)
-annotation to the methods that modify the state of the bean.
-
-Essentially @Lock(READ) allows multithreaded access to the Singleton bean
-instance *unless* someone is invoking an @Lock(WRITE) method. With
-@Lock(WRITE), the thread invoking the bean will be guaranteed to have
-exclusive access to the Singleton bean instance for the duration of its
-invocation. This combination allows the bean instance to use data types
-that are not normally thread safe. Great care must still be used, though.
-
-In the example we see ComponentRegistryBean using a java.util.HashMap which
-is not synchronized. To make this ok we do three things:
-
-1. Encapsulation. We don't expose the HashMap instance directly; including
-its iterators, key set, value set or entry set.
-1. We use @Lock(WRITE) on the methods that mutate the map such as the put()
-and remove() methods.
-1. We use @Lock(READ) on the get() and values() methods as they do not
-change the map state and are guaranteed not to be called at the same as any
-of the @Lock(WRITE) methods, so we know the state of the HashMap is no
-being mutated and therefore safe for reading.
-
-The end result is that the threading model for this bean will switch from
-multi-threaded access to single-threaded access dynamically as needed
-depending on the which methods are being invoked. This gives Singletons a
-bit of an advantage over Servlets for processing multi-threaded requests.
-
-_See the [Singleton Beans](singleton-beans.html)
- page for more advanced details on Container-Managed Concurrency._

+Test Case
+
+<pre><code>

+ public void test() throws Exception {
+ Properties props = new Properties();
+ props.setProperty(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY, "org.apache.openejb.client.LocalInitialContextFactory");
+ InitialContext context = new InitialContext(props);
+ // Both references below will point to the exact same instance
+ ComponentRegistry one = (ComponentRegistry) context.lookup("ComponentRegistryBeanLocal");
+ ComponentRegistry two = (ComponentRegistry) context.lookup("ComponentRegistryBeanLocal");
+ URI expectedUri = new URI("foo://bar/baz");
+ one.setComponent(URI.class, expectedUri);
+ URI actualUri = two.getComponent(URI.class);
+ assertSame(expectedUri, actualUri);
+ Date expectedDate = new Date();
+ two.setComponent(Date.class, expectedDate);
+ Date actualDate = one.getComponent(Date.class);
+ assertSame(expectedDate, actualDate);
+ }
+}
+</pre></code>
+
+#Running
+
+Running the example is fairly simple. In the "simple-singleton" directory run:
$ mvn clean install
Which should create output like the following.
