Intellij / TomEE tutorial? documentation? anything?

[Jason Zwolak <jz...@gmail.com>]

I'm looking for a good tutorial or documentation on creating a web
application using Intellij that will run on top of TomEE.

It seems that this would be easy given the TomEE website (
http://tomee.apache.org/tomee-and-intellij.html ) saying

"Intellij is the preferred editor of most of the developers on Apache
TomEE."

"The evolving TomEE/Intellij integration sets the pace for all other IDE
integrations."

"TomEE is to Intellij what GlassFish is to NetBeans and your feedback is a
critcal part of that."

Well, my feedback is: create some documentation on how to use Intellij and
TomEE together! :-)

Does anyone know of good tutorials or documentation?

["Howard W. Smith, Jr." <sm...@gmail.com>]

I would start here[1], because TomEE's JIRA site says the following (look
for the last word)...

All-Apache Java EE 6 Web Profile stack based on Tomcat

NetBeans/TomEE works, because NetBeans see TomEE as 'tomcat7' server, so it
works, but so far, i can only deploy WAR to this tomcat7 (tomEE) server.
Netbeans sees Glassfish as a true 'Java EE' server, but netbeans does 'not'
see 'tomcat7' as a Java EE server.

Does IntelliJ see tomcat7 as a Java EE server? are you able to deploy EAR,
EJBs, etc... to tomcat7 via IntelliJ? If so, then there is hope. :)

[Romain Manni-Bucau <rm...@gmail.com>]

think there is a misreading of the page, tomee doesn't recommand intellij,
it is said it is one of the most appreciated IDE for dev.

that said the integration is probably the most advanced since ear and jar
are supported out of the box.

that said mvn plugin is still the more efficient way to dev with tomee.

Re: Intellij / TomEE tutorial? documentation? anything?

["Leonardo K. Shikida" <sh...@gmail.com>]

speaking about books and tutorials, I'd love to buy a tomEE+ book if there
was any :-(

it's a great project, but it's still starting and it needs our help to get
traction.

so let's write lots of blog posts and tutorials and share

;-)

Re: Intellij / TomEE tutorial? documentation? anything?

[Jason Zwolak <jz...@gmail.com>]

Yeah, it does seem to be IDE related... I'm posting here because the TomEE
documentation recommends IntelliJ and I spent about 30 hours working with
IntelliJ and TomEE before I could get things working.  I would like the
TomEE team to revise the documentation at
http://tomee.apache.org/tomee-and-intellij.html to clearly state that
IntelliJ has limited support for TomEE.  Or at least state that they
believe TomEE will be to IntelliJ what Glassfish is to Netbeans.  That's my
request.  I won't hold it against the developers if they decide not to do
this.

I'll end this thread here with a tutorial I wrote after 30 hours of work
understanding TomEE, IntelliJ and the integration of the two.  This is the
documentation I've been looking for!!  I hope it's useful to someone else.
 I am a little embarrassed that it took 30 hours to figure this out... it
seems so simple.  Alas... it did and I may not be the only one.

Re: Intellij / TomEE tutorial? documentation? anything?

[Romain Manni-Bucau <rm...@gmail.com>]

which version of intellij do you have?

in the ultimate one you can generate stubs etc...

thinking to it i wonder if this thread shouldn't move over idea forum (you
can still ask us for tomee specific things but it looks like an IDE issue
more than a server one)

wdyt?

Re: Intellij / TomEE tutorial? documentation? anything?

[Jason Zwolak <jz...@gmail.com>]

Thank you, Romain!

Romain, I canot say that I don't like the integration of TomEE with
IntelliJ, because I don't know what the integration can do!  This is my
problem.  I don't know how to leverage the integration of TomEE with
IntelliJ.

Is the only thing that IntelliJ has is a item to select TomEE as the
application server?  There must be more.

Here's what I'm looking for:
Buttons/menu items that create boiler plate code for a web service, for a
restful service, for an entity tied to a database, WSDL, and other JavaEE
related application code.

I would like to, in 5 minutes or less, click a couple buttons and make a
few selections and have a RESTful service up and running that does
essentially nothing, but has all the boilerplate code.  I don't want to
type a single line of code in this process, but I do expect to be able to
name a few things.  Then, I want to be able to hit "Run" and see the
results of this essentially empty RESTful service.  After that, I'll type
the code that does my application specific functions and modify boilerplate
code if necessary (but probably not).

Here's a little more of my frustrating rant, with a few suggestions for
TomEE documentation changes.  I wish I had the energy to edit this and trim
it down to the essential things I want to say, but I'm feeling so
frustrated with my experience with IntelliJ and TomEE.  I like to think I'm
a competent developer and I've developed all sorts of web applications in
Rails, I've developed a really fast biological simulator that has a
built-in custom interpreter and compiler that are optimized to the problem
domain, but for some reason I find myself feeling isolated and alone when I
try to look for documentation and support for TomEE and IntelliJ.  That
said, I really appreciate your reply Romain, and don't want you to think
that I'm ungrateful.

Hmm... so on to some more documentation and other frustrations:

I was under the impression that IntelliJ IDEA was the IDE of choice for
TomEE web application developers.  I guess that isn't the case.

I would like to point out that the TomEE documentation says this:

"Intellij is the preferred editor of most of the developers on Apache TomEE
... TomEE is to Intellij what GlassFish is to NetBeans"

At this URL: http://tomee.apache.org/tomee-and-intellij.html

This statement seems to be misleading given what you said and my
experience.  TomEE is NOT to IntelliJ what Glassfish is to Netbeans.  I
think what this should read is "TomEE developers aspire for TomEE to be to
IntelliJ what Glassfish is to Netbeans and are really excited about
IntelliJ support for TomEE and the future of this relationship."  I'm just
saying.  My experience with Netbeans has been really nice and pleasant.
 The documentation has got me up and running quickly with all kinds of
tools, including JavaEE application development.  IntelliJ has not.  Using
the IntelliJ and TomEE documentation, I have not been able to get an
application running in IntelliJ (unless you count the application where
IntelliJ acted as a text editor).  On the other hand, I have been able to
build applications in Netbeans with just a couple hours of documentation
reading and work.  In Netbeans, boilerplate code is generated by clicking a
menu item labelled "New RESTful service".  Perhaps this can be done in
IntelliJ and I just cannot figure it out.

Or perhaps, expert developers for JavaEE web applications on TomEE use
Eclipse and WTP.  If this is the case, then I request the documentation be
updated on the TomEE website to reflect this.  I understand the developers
of TomEE are excited about first class support in a leading IDE.  As a user
of TomEE I've spent an estimate of 30 hours trying to get IntelliJ to work
with TomEE under the impression that if I get this to work, I'll be
leveraging powerful tools to enhance my ability to develop quality
applications quickly.  I was under the impression that I just needed to
learn the tools... now I'm realizing that in fact, these are the wrong
tools to be using if what I want is powerful tools to increase the speed of
development and quality of the applications I develop.

Are the tools to use: Eclipse + WTP?  Is this what the gurus use?  As a
budding Java EE developer... should I use TomEE + Eclipse + WTP?  I'm
willing to invest the time to learn the tools... I do need good
documentation, though.

Thanks,
Jason

Hi

writing your experience is always important, for us and for Intellij to see
how to improve it (feel free to open an issue on their bugtracker to ask
for a better integration if you don't like it).

About what users do: webapp dev uses often eclipse + wtp, personally i love
tomee mvn plugin (ok ok i'm for a big part of this tool :p) which makes the
container config and the deployment very easy to handle and close to what
you have in prod (opposed to WTP which is just wrong even if it works).

Hi Everyone, I'm still looking for good tutorials or documentation on using
Intellij with TomEE.  I have a long story below of my experiences and
frustrations... but you can stop reading after this paragraph if you aren't
interested in that and just know that I'm looking for documentation,
tutorials, and a community of users for support.  If you know of any of
those, please send them my way. At the end of this message, I volunteer my
time to help with documentation.

I'm feeling sad that I haven't found any tutorials or documentation on
creating a web service or RESTful application in IntelliJ and haven't been
able to get past a simple jury rigged web service.  I want to use the tools
that everyone else is using and recommending (that seems to be IntelliJ).
 I am looking for support in learning about TomEE and getting in touch with
a community of folks that answer each others questions.  In the past I
found this with Rails through IRC, StackOverflow, meet ups, and friends.
 I'm feeling really isolated with TomEE and IntelliJ, but I just know there
must be lots of people out there using these tools.

Will you help me get in touch with the community of developers that uses
TomEE and IntelliJ?  Is this mailing list the place to go for questions and
support?  Is there an IRC?  I didn't see much on StackOverflow, so I'm
guessing not many people go there.

Is there documentation?  Tutorials?

I'm working on a project that has an existing tool to model biological
systems and the tool is slow.  I'm confident that the use of TomEE... or
Rails (if it comes down to it) will greatly improve the performance of the
application.  See http://integrativebioinformatics.com/processdb.html for
more about the tool I'm working on, in case you're curious.  I'm excited to
be part of several projects in computational biology and bringing cutting
edge technology and performance to theoretical biologists.  And I just have
this gut feeling that TomEE is a great tool to bring to this problem domain.

I just need more documentation and support to be successful.

I have created a web service and RESTful application running in TomEE in
several different development environments... I used Maven on the command
line with Vim and other command line tools.  I used NetBeans.  I manually
downloaded the examples and (compiled only) with maven and installed
(deployed) manually.  I've spent the last 3-4 months working with TomEE and
various tools.  I've even integrated our database with a custom EJB running
in the TomEE container and benchmarked the results to tell my client that
"Yes, this will speed things up... a lot!"

As for IntelliJ... not so productive or lucky.  I managed... after days of
work... to get a the simple Calculator web service example to work... it
took hand editing of lots of files within IntelliJ which essentially turned
IntelliJ (I'm talking about IDEA here, of course) into a text editor with
the ability to start and stop the application server.  I cannot believe
that how I'm using IntelliJ is how expert TomEE/IntelliJ developers use
it... and would like to see a tutorial that walks through how I should be
using these tools to maximize the power of the tools.

I can actually write a tutorial on what I did to get a web service running
in TomEE using IntelliJ IDEA... I'm embarrassed to do so :-) and expose my
ignorance, lol.

However... I will do so if you request it, so that you can see what I'm
doing and give me feedback on the proper way to do things... and in fact...
I would actually modify the tutorial per your advice until it's a valuable
asset to the community... and then I will publish it on my blog (or you
could use it on the tomee.apache.org website, if you feel the quality and
usefulness of the tutorial would benefit the larger community that much).

Thanks!
Jason
