13.1  Overview	To top of page
JCodeBox allows you to add standard Java code throughout your applications using the JCodeBox GUI. This code can then be used as you would use it in any other Java application i.e. classes can be instantiated, methods can be invoked, interfaces can be implemented, etc. This feature is particularly useful for adding business functionality to your J2EE components and adding supporting classes to your application. Currently the following are supported: Classes Interfaces Methods Variables Imports
13.2  Classes	To top of page
Classes can be defined for the web and business tiers. Classes defined in the business tier are also available to components in the web tier. See chapter 7. Tiers for further information. The define class dialog is used to add/edit/remove a class (Tier properties, code tab). This dialog is described in further detail below. Visibility Select the visibility of the class from the visibility dropdown. Imports Use the import buttons to add/edit/remove imports for the class via the enter import dialog. The application button allows you to add imports for other components in your application. Modifiers Use the modifiers buttons to add/remove modifiers for the class via the select modifier dialog. Interfaces Use the interfaces buttons to add/edit/remove any interfaces the class will implement via the enter interface dialog. Variables Use the variables buttons to add/edit/remove variables for the class via the define variable dialog (described in more detail later in this chapter). Methods Use the methods buttons to add/edit/remove methods for the class via the define method dialog (described in more detail later in this chapter). Package Enter the package for the class in the package text field. Class name Enter the class name in the class name text field. Parent class name Enter the parent class for the class in the parent class name text field. Class description Enter a description for the class in the class description text field.
13.3  Interfaces	To top of page
Interfaces can be defined for the web and business tiers. Interfaces defined in the business tier are also available to components in the web tier. See chapter 7. Tiers for further information. The define interface dialog is used to add/edit/remove an interface (Tier properties, code tab). This dialog is described in further detail below. Visibility Select the visibility of the interface from the visibility dropdown. Imports Use the import buttons to add/edit/remove imports for the interface via the enter import dialog. The application button allows you to add imports for other components in your application. Interfaces Use the interfaces buttons to add/edit/remove any interfaces the interface will extend via the enter interface dialog. Methods Use the methods buttons to add/edit/remove methods for the interface via the define method dialog (described in more detail later in this chapter). Package Enter the package for the interface in the package text field. Interface name Enter the interface name in the interface name text field. Interface description Enter a description for the interface in the interface description text field.
13.4  Methods	To top of page
Visibility Select the visibility of the method from the visibility dropdown. Return Type Enter the return type in the return type text field. Modifiers Use the modifiers buttons to add/remove modifiers for the method via the select modifier dialog. Parameters Use the parameters buttons to add/remove parameters for the method via the define parameter dialog. Exceptions Use the exceptions buttons to add/remove exceptions for the method via the select exception dialog. Method description Enter a description for the method in the method description text field. Method name Enter the method name in the method name text field. Method Implementation Enter the method implementation in the method implementation text area. If you right mouse click on the method implementation text area you will be presented with the auto-code menu. This menu allows you to insert commonly used fragments of code (i.e. bean lookup code, environment entry lookup code, etc) into your method implementation. Note that auto-code is not available when defining methods for interfaces as interface methods do not contain a method body.
13.5  Variables	To top of page
Visibility Select the visibility of the variable from the visibility dropdown. Modifiers Use the modifiers buttons to add/remove modifiers for the variable via the select modifier dialog. Variable description Enter a description for the variable in the variable description text field. Variable type Enter the variable type in the variable type text field. Variable name Enter the variable name in the variable name text field.
13.6  Imports	To top of page
Import Enter the import (i.e. java.util.ArrayList) into the import text field
