# payment-cdi-event: Use CDI Events to Process Debit and Credit Operations

Elvadas Nono

> The `payment-cdi-event` quickstart demonstrates how to create credit and debit CDI Events in WildFly, using a JSF front-end client.

## What is it?

The `payment-cdi-event` quickstart demonstrates how to use CDI Events in WildFly Application Server.

The JSF front-end client allows you to create both credit and debit operation events.

To test this quickstart, enter an amount, choose either a Credit or Debit operation, and then click on Pay to create the event.

A Session scoped (`@SessionScoped`) payment event handler catches the operation and produces (`@Produces`) a named list of all operations performed during this session. The event is logged in the WildFly server log and the event list is displayed in a table at the bottom of the form.

The `payment-cdi-event` quickstart defines the following classes and interfaces:

- The `beans` package contains the `PaymentBean` bean class:

- This is a session scoped bean that stores the payment form information:

  - payment amount

  - operation type: debit or credit

- It contains the following utility methods:

  - `private void init()`: This is a PostConstruct (`@PostConstruct`) method that performs initialization before the class is put into service. It resets the `amount` to `$0` and the `paymentOption` to the default type of debit.

  - `public String pay()`: This method processes the operation when the user clicks on submit. We have only one JSF page, so the method does not return anything and the flow of control does not change.

  - `public void reset()`: Reset calls the `init()` method reinitialize the form values.

- The `events` package contains the `PaymentEvent` class and the enum `PaymentTypeEnum`.

- `PaymentEvent`: We have only one event that handles both credit and debit operations. Qualifiers help us to make the difference at injection point.

- `PaymentTypeEnum`: A typesafe enum is used to represent the operation payment type. It contains utility methods to convert between `String` and `Enum`.

- The `qualifiers` package contains the `Credit` and `Debit` interfaces. The annotation determines the operation of the injecting `Event`.

- The `handler` package contains interfaces and implementations of `PaymentEvent` observers.

- `ICreditEventObserver`: Interface to listen to `CREDIT` event only (`@Observes` `@Credit`).

- `IDebitEventObserver`: Interface to listen to `DEBIT` event (`@Observes` `@Debit`).

- `PaymentHandler`: The concrete implementation of the payment handler.

  - It implements both `ICreditEventObserver` and `IDebitEventObserver`.

  - The payment handler exposes the list of events caught during a session (`@Named` `name=payments`).

- The `resources` package contains the `Resources` class that produces the logger for the application.

## System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly Application Server 12 or later.

All you need to build this project is Java 8.0 (Java SDK 1.8) or later and Maven 3.3.1 or later. See Configure Maven to Build and Deploy the Quickstarts to make sure you are configured correctly for testing the quickstarts.

## Use of WILDFLY_HOME

In the following instructions, replace `WILDFLY_HOME` with the actual path to your WildFly installation. The installation path is described in detail here: Use of WILDFLY_HOME and JBOSS_HOME Variables.

## Start the WildFly Standalone Server

1. Open a terminal and navigate to the root of the WildFly directory.

2. Start the WildFly server with the default profile by typing the following command.

       $ WILDFLY_HOME/bin/standalone.sh

   Note | For Windows, use the `WILDFLY_HOME\bin\standalone.bat` script.

## Build and Deploy the Quickstart

1. Make sure you start the WildFly server as described above.

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. Type the following command to build the artifacts.

       $ mvn clean package wildfly:deploy

This deploys the `payment-cdi-event/target/payment-cdi-event.war` to the running instance of the server.

You should see a message in the server log indicating that the archive deployed successfully.

## Access the Application

The application will be running at the following URL: http://localhost:8080/payment-cdi-event/.

## Undeploy the Quickstart

When you are finished testing the quickstart, follow these steps to undeploy the archive.

1. Make sure you start the WildFly server as described above.

2. Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.

3. Type this command to undeploy the archive:

       $ mvn wildfly:undeploy

## Run the Quickstart in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse

You can also start the server and deploy the quickstarts or run the Arquillian tests in Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio or from Eclipse using JBoss tools. For general information about how to import a quickstart, add a WildFly server, and build and deploy a quickstart, see Use JBoss Developer Studio or Eclipse to Run the Quickstarts.

## Deploy the Quickstart to OpenShift Online

Use these instructions to deploy the quickstart to Red Hat OpenShift Online. If you do not yet have an OpenShift Online account and are interested in signing up for one, see Choose a Plan in the OpenShift Online documentation located on the Red Hat Customer Portal. For information about running JBoss EAP on Red Hat OpenShift Online, see Getting Started with JBoss EAP for OpenShift Online, also located on the Red Hat Customer Portal.
