deltaspike-projectstage: Demonstrate usage of DeltaSpike project stage and shows usage of a conditional @Exclude

Demonstrate usage of DeltaSpike project stage and shows usage of a conditional @Exclude

What is it?

Project stages provide a way to customize the implementation based on the type of deployment environment. For example, you may want to generate sample data for system testing, but not for production. You can create a bean that generates sample data and activate it only for project stage SystemTest

Besides custom project stages it’s possible to use the following pre-defined project stages:

UnitTest
Development
SystemTest
IntegrationTest
Staging
Production

Furthermore, with @Exclude, it is possible to annotate beans which should be ignored by CDI, even if they are in a CDI enabled archive.

This project has a interface called MyBean that has 4 different implementations:

ExcludedExceptOnDevelopment - Uses the annotation @Exclude(exceptIfProjectStage=Development.class) to exclude the implementation if the project stage is anything other than Development..
ExcludedOnDevelopment - Uses the annotation @Exclude(ifProjectStage=Development.class) to exclude the implementation for project stage Development.
MyExcludedBean - Uses the annotation @Exclude to exclude the implementation for all project stages.
NoExcludedBean - The implementation is always available because this bean does not use any annotation.

System Requirements

The application this project produces is designed to be run on WildFly Application Server 13 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

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

Run the Arquillian Tests

This quickstart provides Arquillian tests. By default, these tests are configured to be skipped since Arquillian tests require the use of a container.

Note	The Arquillian tests deploy the application, so make sure you undeploy the quickstart before you begin.

Follow these steps to run the tests.

Start the WildFly server as described above.
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
Type the following command to run the verify goal with the arq-remote profile activated.
```
$ mvn clean verify -Parq-remote
```

Note

You can also let Arquillian manage the WildFly server by using the arq-managed profile, meaning the tests will start the server for you. This profile requires that you provide Arquillian with the location of the WildFly server, either by setting the JBOSS_HOME environment variable, or by setting the jbossHome property in the arquillian.xml file. For more information, see Run the Arquillian Tests.

Build and Deploy the Quickstart

Make sure you start the WildFly server as described above.
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
Type the following command to build the artifacts.
```
$ mvn clean package wildfly:deploy
```

This deploys the deltaspike-projectstage/target/deltaspike-projectstage.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/deltaspike-projectstage/.

You are presented with a simple page that shows the current project stage: Staging. You will also see the List of available CDI instances for MyBean table with two available implementations.

Edit the file src/main/resources/META-INF/apache-deltaspike.properties and change the org.apache.deltaspike.ProjectStage property to Development. Deploy the application again

$ mvn clean package wildfly:deploy

Access the application again at the same URL: http://localhost:8080/wildfly-deltaspike-projectstage

Review the List of available CDI instances for MyBean table to verify that the available implementations have changed.

Undeploy the Quickstart

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

Make sure you start the WildFly server as described above.
Open a terminal and navigate to the root directory of this quickstart.
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.

Debug the Application

If you want to debug the source code or look at the Javadocs of any library in the project, run either of the following commands to pull them into your local repository. The IDE should then detect them.

$ mvn dependency:sources
$ mvn dependency:resolve -Dclassifier=javadoc
