Overview and update JSR Expert Group JSR 350 State Management
Overview • Background • Why a JSR for State Management • Key concepts • Relationship to other standards • Example API • Demo • Timeline • Q & A
In a nutshell… JSR-350 is an API for finding and using state management services to save and retrieve data independent of the storage method.
Background • Standard formed through JCP (2.8 2.9) • Oracle lead (Mitch Upton), participation from Red Hat, IBM and independents • Expert group activated April 2012 • Some existing proprietary solutions in WebLogic, Tomcat and JBoss
Requirements • “…develop an API that applications and JavaEE containers can use to offload the responsibility of state management into third party providers with different quality of service characteristics” (JSR) • Standardize existing APIs • Support a wider variety of data representations (JSON, XML, name value) • Expand storage mechanisms (NoSQL, Graph DB, In Memory)
Use Cases • Cloud - loose coupling of apps to state management facilities • Mobile - cross platform state handling • Integration - Transfer of state between platforms • Capability based provider querying • Transient data e.g. session state • Non relational data e.g. JSON, XML, JavaScript
Value of State Management (over Existing APIs) • Independent storage mechanism – not specific to DBMS, file, etc. • Access service by capability instead of low level configuration • Manage state with strongly or weakly-typed approach • Pluggable marshalling of types
Contrast to Persistence APIs • JPA • Strongly typed • Assumes relational storage • JDBC • SQL access but must manage ORM, integrity, transactions • Deep technical knowledge • EJB • Complex • Java I/O • Complex, low level
Design Goals • Store and retrieve state independent of mechanism • Modular and consistent implementation • Capability based matching of client and provider • Support innovation and the cloud • Easy to use interfaces – user, provider, platform
API to Multiple Providers JEE Client JSE Client State Management API Built-in Provider Custom Provider 3rd party Provider
Key Concepts • State (State Container) • State Connection Factory • State Connection • State Container • State Map • Capability
State • Unit of data • Uniquely identified within a scope • Persistent for a business period • Used by web apps, web services, JSF, CDI • Currently implemented via in memory, file, database, cluster
State Container • Container for a user-defined state value that allows a State Management provider to present and track system-level details about the value • An instance of State contains a single user-specified value
State Connection Factory • Create one or more State Connections based on required capabilities • Associated to single provider • Typed e.g. Java class (…probably)
State Connection • Connection to state management services provided by some provider • Expose capabilities • Contains configuration • Controls the transaction – either local or distributed using JTA • Use directly or to get a StateMap
State Map • Exposes only entries with a given key and value type in StateConnection • Convenience interface - clients deal directly with user-specified key and value types, no need to see containing structures such as Key and StateContainer • Contains: • globally unique key • value of a user-defined type • tracking information • Key • User defined + GUID • Values • Java type (e.g. Person class) • Streams? • XML?
Capability - QoS • Behaviour offered by a provider • Durability • Transactions • Isolation and concurrency control • Supported by configuration • Described by a unique name

Using a StateMap State Map Client Application Dog State Connection new (“fido”, “Sheperd”) getStateMap(String.class, Dog.class) create Store StateMapdogMap put(fidoKey, fido) get(fidoKey) Retrieve fido copy

Roles • Provider • Implement the specification • Innovate with new capabilities • Administrator / Developer • Configure the state connection factory • Make a State Connection available • Developer • Use State Connection and State to accelerate development
Design Debates • Typing • Strong versus weak • Is StateMap necessary / desirable?
