Javaee Angularjs Bootstrap Integration

By Damien · 2015-10-13 ·

alt text

This tutorial is a basic integration of AngularJS, Bootstrap3, JavaEE JAX-RS, Maven and WebJars. Usefull for replacing your old JSF or GWT application from intranet.

Why?

Because AngularJs is not a web framework anymore and tends to replace GWT in intranet web applications. And because most of these team have a Java legacy, it’s sometimes more productive to build on top of a well known Java Server instead of jumping in a new system like NodeJs in addition to migrating to a new MVC framework (like from JSF to AngularJs).

How?

By using:

  • Bootstrap for UI
  • AngularJS for MVC
  • AngularUIBootstrap for Bootstrap Javascript support in AngularJS
  • WebJars to manage web dependencies
  • Maven to manage java dependencies
  • JavaEE to provide REST web services
  • Tomcat to contain the webapp

And you’ll have a simple project like this:

#

Demo

Run this project on your webapp server (Tomcat for example), and test on:

http://localhost:8080/20151013-javaee-angularjs-bootstrap/ http://localhost:8080/20151013-javaee-angularjs-bootstrap/

The main page test all frameworks.

Here is AngularJS MVC

Here is UI Bootstrap for AngularJS

Here is AngularJS REST Client and JavaEE REST Server

Conclusion

It’s a step by step approach. Maybe later you will have some NodeJS backend and a team full of webdeveloper.

Pros: simple approach for Java developer (productivity)

Cons: not so shiny from a web developer point of view (legacy, performance)
