Patrick Plate dabdda167f docs(wiki): migrate to git-based workflow with persistent wiki/ clone
- Extract all wiki content from create_wiki_pages.py into docs/wiki/pages/*.md
- Add docs/wiki/deploy_wiki.sh: copies pages to wiki/ repo, commits, pushes
- Add /wiki/ to .gitignore (anchored — does not affect docs/wiki/)
- 12 pages: Home, MCP-Servers-Overview, mcp-image-gen, ComfyUI-Setup,
  mcp-webscraper (8 tools incl. search_hint), BigMind (schema v8),
  Development-Conventions, Java-Projects, Java-wellmann-shop,
  Java-mss-failsafe, Java-Architecture, _Sidebar
- Workflow: edit docs/wiki/pages/*.md → ./docs/wiki/deploy_wiki.sh

# 📐 Java Architecture Patterns
![Java Architecture Banner](http://192.168.188.119:30008/pplate/pi_mcps/raw/branch/main/docs/wiki/images/java-architecture-banner.png)
This page documents the shared architectural patterns used across all Java projects in this monorepo. These patterns also align with Patrick's professional work on the ADP Germany Paisy payroll system.
## JSF MVC Pattern
All projects use JavaServer Faces (JSF) with the MVC pattern:
```
Browser (HTTP) → FacesServlet → XHTML View (Facelets)
CDI Backing Bean (@Named)
Service Layer (EJB / CDI)
JPA Repository / EntityManager
Database (MySQL / H2)
```
## JPA Entity Mapping
Standard JPA annotation patterns used across projects:
```java
@Entity
@Table(name = "users")
public class User implements Serializable {
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@Column(name = "username", nullable = false, unique = true)
private String username;
@OneToMany(mappedBy = "user", cascade = CascadeType.ALL, fetch = FetchType.LAZY)
private List<Order> orders = new ArrayList<>();
// getters/setters
}
```
## Backing Bean Pattern
CDI backing beans power the JSF views:
```java
@Named
@ViewScoped // or @SessionScoped / @RequestScoped
public class UserBean implements Serializable {
@Inject
private UserService userService;
private User currentUser;
public String login() {
currentUser = userService.authenticate(username, password);
return currentUser != null ? "/user/welcome?faces-redirect=true" : null;
}
// getters/setters
}
```
## Security Layers
### Legacy: JAAS (wellmann-shop)
```xml
<!-- web.xml -->
<security-constraint>
<web-resource-collection>
<web-resource-name>Admin Pages</web-resource-name>
<url-pattern>/admin/*</url-pattern>
</web-resource-collection>
<auth-constraint>
<role-name>admin</role-name>
</auth-constraint>
</security-constraint>
```
### Modern: Soteria / Jakarta Security (mss-failsafe)
```java
@ApplicationScoped
public class ApplicationSecurityConfig implements HttpAuthenticationMechanism {
// Soteria CDI-based authentication
}
```
## Maven Multi-Module Pattern (mss-failsafe)
```xml
<!-- Parent pom.xml -->
<modules>
<module>mssfailsafe.datalayer</module>
<module>userdata</module>
<module>userManagement</module>
</modules>
<!-- Dependency ordering: datalayer → userdata → userManagement -->
```
## XHTML Facelets Templating
```xml
<!-- Template: resources/layout/template.xhtml -->
<h:body>
<ui:insert name="content">Default Content</ui:insert>
</h:body>
<!-- Page using template -->
<ui:composition template="/resources/layout/template.xhtml">
<ui:define name="content">
<p:dataTable var="item" value="#{bean.items}">
<p:column headerText="Name">#{item.name}</p:column>
</p:dataTable>
</ui:define>
</ui:composition>
```
## Deployment Descriptor Pattern
All projects target JBoss/WildFly with consistent descriptor files:
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `WEB-INF/web.xml` | Servlet config, security constraints, welcome files |
| `WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml` | Context root, security domain mapping |
| `WEB-INF/jboss-app.xml` | JBoss application descriptor |
| `META-INF/persistence.xml` | JPA datasource JNDI reference |
## persistence.xml Pattern
```xml
<persistence-unit name="mss-failsafe-PU" transaction-type="JTA">
<jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/MySQLDS</jta-data-source>
<properties>
<property name="eclipselink.ddl-generation" value="create-tables"/>
<property name="eclipselink.logging.level" value="FINE"/>
</properties>
</persistence-unit>
```
## Patrick's Java Specializations
Based on professional and homelab experience:
| Domain | Depth | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| JPA / EclipseLink | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Authored custom annotation parsers |
| JSF / PrimeFaces | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Built wellmann-shop solo |
| JAXB | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | XML binding for payroll formats |
| Maven | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | Multi-module, plugins |
| Jakarta EE | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ | CDI, Security, JTA |
| Spring Boot | ⭐⭐⭐ | CannaManage SaaS target stack |
