The guessnumber Source Files

The four source files for the guessnumber example include the following:

The source files are located in the following directory:

tut-install/examples/cdi/guessnumber/src/java/guessnumber

The @MaxNumber and @Random Qualifier Interfaces

The @MaxNumber qualifier interface is defined as follows.

package guessnumber;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.FIELD;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.METHOD;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.PARAMETER;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE;
import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import javax.inject.Qualifier;

@Target( { TYPE, METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Qualifier
public @interface MaxNumber {

}

The @Random qualifier interface is defined as follows.

package guessnumber;

import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.FIELD;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.METHOD;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.PARAMETER;
import static java.lang.annotation.ElementType.TYPE;
import static java.lang.annotation.RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME;

import java.lang.annotation.Documented;
import java.lang.annotation.Retention;
import java.lang.annotation.Target;

import javax.inject.Qualifier;

@Target( { TYPE, METHOD, PARAMETER, FIELD })
@Retention(RUNTIME)
@Documented
@Qualifier
public @interface Random {

}

The Generator Managed Bean

The Generator managed bean contains the two producer methods for the application. The bean has the @ApplicationScoped annotation to specify that its context extends for the duration of the user's interaction with the application.

package guessnumber;

import java.io.Serializable;

import javax.enterprise.context.ApplicationScoped;
import javax.enterprise.inject.Produces;

@ApplicationScoped
public class Generator implements Serializable {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = -7213673465118041882L;

    private java.util.Random random = 
        new java.util.Random( System.currentTimeMillis() );

    private int maxNumber = 100;

    java.util.Random getRandom() {
        return random;
    }

    @Produces @Random int next() {
        return getRandom().nextInt(maxNumber);
    }

    @Produces @MaxNumber int getMaxNumber() {
        return maxNumber;
    }

}

The UserNumberBean Managed Bean

The UserNumberBean managed bean, the backing bean for the JavaServer Faces application, provides the basic logic for the game. It implements setter and getter methods for the bean fields and injects the two qualifier objects. It provides a reset method that allows you to begin a new game after you complete one. It also provides a check method that determines whether the user has guessed the number, and a validateNumberRange method that determines whether the user's input is correct.

package guessnumber;
