After a very heavy workload here we are to finish (or start) what we begun.
If you remember we made a user interface that had a VBox named as “vbScores” in that VBox we’ll put our baseball results. but what we will show?
well let’s make our FXML first:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <?import java.lang.*?> <?import java.net.*?> <?import java.util.*?> <?import javafx.geometry.*?> <?import javafx.scene.*?> <?import javafx.scene.control.*?> <?import javafx.scene.image.*?> <?import javafx.scene.layout.*?> <?import javafx.scene.text.*?> <AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="45.0" prefWidth="169.0" styleClass="mainFxmlClass, rootPane" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="com.beisbolicos.scoreboard.GameResultController"> <children> <GridPane AnchorPane.bottomAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.leftAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.rightAnchor="0.0" AnchorPane.topAnchor="0.0"> <children> <Label fx:id="eVisitante" text="Label" textFill="#e0ff66" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="0"> <font> <Font name="Verdana Bold" size="12.0" fx:id="x1" /> </font> </Label> <Label fx:id="eLocal" font="$x1" text="Label" textFill="#52ff00" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="2" /> <Label fx:id="cVisitante" text="Label" textFill="WHITE" GridPane.columnIndex="1" GridPane.rowIndex="0" /> <Label fx:id="cLocal" text="Label" textFill="WHITE" GridPane.columnIndex="1" GridPane.rowIndex="2" /> <Label id="lInning" fx:id="lInning" text="Label" textFill="#ff3d00" GridPane.columnIndex="2" GridPane.rowIndex="0"> <font> <Font name="System Bold" size="12.0" fx:id="x2" /> </font> </Label> <Label fx:id="lStatus" font="$x2" graphicTextGap="0.0" text="Label" textFill="#33ffe7" GridPane.columnIndex="0" GridPane.rowIndex="3"> <GridPane.margin> <Insets fx:id="x3" /> </GridPane.margin> </Label> <ImageView fitHeight="30.0" fitWidth="50.0" pickOnBounds="true" preserveRatio="true" GridPane.columnIndex="2" GridPane.halignment="LEFT" GridPane.hgrow="NEVER" GridPane.margin="$x3" GridPane.rowIndex="1" GridPane.rowSpan="2" GridPane.valignment="TOP" GridPane.vgrow="NEVER" /> </children> <columnConstraints> <ColumnConstraints hgrow="SOMETIMES" minWidth="10.0" prefWidth="100.0" /> <ColumnConstraints hgrow="SOMETIMES" minWidth="10.0" prefWidth="100.0" /> <ColumnConstraints hgrow="SOMETIMES" minWidth="10.0" prefWidth="100.0" /> </columnConstraints> <rowConstraints> <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" vgrow="SOMETIMES" /> <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" vgrow="SOMETIMES" /> <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" vgrow="SOMETIMES" /> <RowConstraints minHeight="10.0" prefHeight="30.0" vgrow="SOMETIMES" /> </rowConstraints> </GridPane> </children> <stylesheets> <URL value="@scoreboard.css" /> </stylesheets> </AnchorPane>
As you can see we will put the game’s local team name and runs, visitor’s name and run and one state and one graphic for the on bases runners.
Now it’s time to connect to the WebService that will provide the data, we will make this from out initial FXML controller, that is the ScoreboardController class and we will read something like:
package com.beisbolicos.scoreboard;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboardWS.Game;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboardWS.ScoreboardWS;
import com.delunasaenz.scoreboardWS.ScoreboardWSService;
import java.io.IOException;import java.net.MalformedURLException;
import java.net.URL;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.ResourceBundle;
import java.util.concurrent.ExecutionException;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javafx.beans.value.ChangeListener;
import javafx.beans.value.ObservableValue;
import javafx.concurrent.Task;
import javafx.event.ActionEvent;
import javafx.fxml.FXML;
import javafx.fxml.FXMLLoader;
import javafx.fxml.Initializable;
import javafx.scene.Node;
import javafx.scene.control.ChoiceBox;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.xml.namespace.QName;
import javax.xml.ws.Service;
public class ScoreBoardController implements Initializable {
public ScoreboardWSService service;
@FXML
private ChoiceBox leagueSelection;
@FXML
private VBox vbScores;
@FXML
private void handleButtonAction(ActionEvent event) {
}
@Override
public void initialize(URL url, ResourceBundle rb) {
URL wsdlLocation = null;
try {
wsdlLocation = new URL("http://localhost:8080/"
+ "ScoreboardApp/ScoreboardWSService?wsdl");
} catch (MalformedURLException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ScoreBoardController.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
service = new ScoreboardWSService(wsdlLocation,
new QName("http://scoreboard.delunasaenz.com/", "ScoreboardWSService"));
leagueSelection.getSelectionModel().select(0);
leagueSelection.getSelectionModel().selectedIndexProperty()
.addListener(new ChangeListener<Number>() {
@Override
public void changed(ObservableValue<? extends Number> ov,
Number t, Number t1) {
actualizaLista(t1);
}
});
actualizaLista(new Integer(0));
}
private void actualizaLista(Number t1) {
ScoreboardWS port = service.getScoreboardWSPort();
String liga;
switch (t1.intValue()) {
case 0:
liga = "MEX";
break;
case 1:
liga = "LMP";
break;
case 2:
liga = "MLB";
break;
case 3:
liga = "SC";
break;
default:
liga = "MEX";
break;
}
List<Game> result = port.league(liga);
vbScores.getChildren().clear();
for (Game item : result) {
FXMLLoader fxml = new FXMLLoader(getClass()
.getResource("/com/beisbolicos/scoreboard/GameResult.fxml"));
try {
fxml.load();
GameResultController grc = fxml.getController();
vbScores.getChildren().add((Node) fxml.getRoot());
grc.setGame(item);
} catch (IOException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(ScoreBoardController.class.getName()).
log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
}
And now the explanation.
if you have used Web Services from servlets or JSP you will find that @WebServiceRef(wsdlLocation = “http://localhost:8080/ScoreboardApp/ScoreboardWSService?wsdl”) is missing, that is because the Service reference for our webservice client (service variable), that is because that annotation only works inside a Webserver container and a JavaFX is not running on the server side, but the client side, then we need to start our WS client using the constructor of the client using the wsdlLocation, new QName(“http://scoreboard.delunasaenz.com/”, “ScoreboardWSService”) as the parameters to start it.
On the initialize method we add a listener to the leagueSelection ChoiceBox making the VBox to be filled with the current games on the league selected, the leagues are obtained thanks to web service we defined.
I hope this can get you a good brief explanation on how to start and use a WebService from a FXML/JavaFX application.
