I have this entry in application.properties of my spring boot app:
myapp.urls = url1,url2,url3
In a method in my component, I am creating an array like below:
String myArray[] = properties.getmyAppUrls().split(",");
I want this array creation logic execute only once. I know we can achieve this using post construct. Is there any other way we could achieve this like during server start up?
I want this array constructed reading from a properties file during server start up and i want to use this in my component.
You can use Spring EL to do the job:
#Value("#{'${myapp.urls}'.split(',')}")
private List<String> myAppUrls;
I'd recommend to move this to a Configuration class, then you can autowire it everywhere you need it.

We are using the OptaPlanner Spring Boot starter to create a vehicle routing problem solver based on the example in the OptaPlanner quickstarts:
https://github.com/kiegroup/optaplanner-quickstarts/tree/stable/use-cases/vehicle-routing
So we do not have an solveConfig.xml file. We would like to define a filter for ListChangeMoves but it's not clear how we would register this without using an XML file. We have tried using a solverConfig.xml e.g.
<localSearch>
<unionMoveSelector>
<listChangeMoveSelector>
<filterClass>my.filter.Class</filterClass>
</listChangeMoveSelector>
</unionMoveSelector>
</localSearch>
But this is not working. Is there an example of setting up a filter for list moves?
This is a XML solver config using a a swap move selector and a change move selector with move filtering:
<constructionHeuristic/>
<localSearch>
<unionMoveSelector>
<changeMoveSelector>
<filterClass>org.acme.vehiclerouting.solver.ChangeMoveSelectorFilter</filterClass>
</changeMoveSelector>
<swapMoveSelector/>
</unionMoveSelector>
</localSearch>
If you don't want to use swap moves, then you don't need the union move selector and the configuration can be simplified to:
<constructionHeuristic/>
<localSearch>
<changeMoveSelector>
<filterClass>org.acme.vehiclerouting.solver.ChangeMoveSelectorFilter</filterClass>
</changeMoveSelector>
</localSearch>
A few comments:
I'm including the CH phase because it is necessary in a typical case. See OptaPlanner terminates immediately if I add constructionHeuristic config for an explanation.
The ChangeMoveSelector is automatically configured to produce ListChangeMoves if the planning entity has a #PlanningListVariable. There is no <listChangeMoveSelector> config element.
More information including how to implement the move selection filter can be found in the documentation.
UPDATE: No XML configuration
It's possible to inject SolverConfig, modify it and then use it to create other objects, for example Solver, SolverManager, and ScoreManager.
The code would look something like this:
#Component
class MyService {
// Don't inject these.
private final SolverManager<VrpSolution, Long> solverManager;
private final ScoreManager<VrpSolution, HardSoftScore> scoreManager;
// But inject the SolverConfig.
public MyService(SolverConfig solverConfig) {
// And instantiate SolverManager and ScoreManager manually.
this.solverManager = SolverManager.<VrpSolution, Long>create(
solverConfig.withPhaseList(Arrays.asList(
new ConstructionHeuristicPhaseConfig(),
new LocalSearchPhaseConfig().withMoveSelectorConfig(
new ChangeMoveSelectorConfig()
.withFilterClass(MyFilter.class)))));
this.scoreManager = ScoreManager.create(SolverFactory.create(solverConfig));
}
}
Pros:
SolverConfig will be initialized by OptaPlannerAutoConfiguration (from optaplanner-spring-boot-starter) before it's injected into your component. That means:
The solution and entity classes will be auto-discovered and you don't have to specify them (which you have to in solverConfig.xml).
You can use application.properties to do minor solver config tweaks, for example set time-spent termination.
Cons:
You have to create Solver,SolverManager, and ScoreManager instances manually. Specifically, you can't have a #Bean method producing an instance of one of the types above because that would deactivate OptaPlannerAutoConfiguration, which creates the SolverConfig bean.
I am new to Camunda.I am trying to trigger a event in spring boot application when I perform manual action like retry from Camunda BPM UI.
For that I am using Eventlistner.
#EventListener Public void onExecutionEvent(DelegateEvent executionDelegate){ // printing executionDelegate here }
I need the information present in executionDelegate object.But on printing it is giving me hash value.
Do anybody have complete object information as there are lot of class and interfaces in this Class.It would you be helpful if i am able to get a sample of complete object I information.
Thanks in advance.
The hash value is the default result of the "toString()" method which every class in java implements by default (by extending "Object").
The fact that you see a hash value means, that the DelegateEvent does not overwrite this method in way you maybe used to.
So the question is: what do you want to know from the delegateExecution? MOst often, you will be interested in the process variables ... you can just print out the result of the "getVariables()" method ...
If you want to learn more about the class and its values, put a break point in your eventListener method, start spring boot in debug mode and use the inspect/evaluate code feature of whatever IDE you use to just play around and get familiar.
I have a Spring Batch job that reads in a very large fixed length file and maps it just fine to an object. Validated all of the data in the associated processing task.
Being rather new to Spring and Spring Batch I am wondering if it is possible to get out of the job, a fully populated object to be used in a particular case when I am running the job as part of another process ( that I would like to have access to the data).
I realize that I could do the above without Batch, and it seems to be designed with scope limitations for its purpose.
I could serialize the objects in the processor and go that route but for my immediate satisfaction I am hoping there is a way to get around this.
Thanks
In my #configuration class for the batch processing, I created a class variable (it is a list of the object I want to get back) and instantiated with the no arg constructor.
My Step, ItemReader, LineMapper are setup to use a list for input. The custom FieldSetMapper takes that list instantiated from the constructor as a parameter and adds to the list as the file is read and mapped. Similarly my custom ItemProcessor takes the list as input and returns it.
Finally I created a ReturnObjectList bean that returns the populated list.
In my main I cast the AnnotationConfigApplicationContext getbean to the list of that object type. I am now able to use the list of objects generated from the fixed file in the scope of my main application.
Not sure if this is a healthy work around in terms of how Spring Java config is supposed to work, but it does give me what I need.
I have a servlet based application which currently uses an injected HashMap of command processors to process a user entered command. This works very well but I need to modify this so that each instance of the command processor is unique.
The new requirements comes from the need to "pipe" the output on one command into another so if the command processors remain a single instance "piping" a list into a list would be problematic.
I still need to be able to map the class that handles the command to the command text.
My first thought was the change the HashMap from mapping the command to an instance of the command processor to mapping it to the class name and using that to instantiate an instance of the class. But that does not work due to the need to configure some of the commands with for example a list of options.
I have looked at making the beans prototypes which would seam to do what I want regarding getting a new instance of the configured bean but I am confused as to how I can map this, was thinking I could use the bean ID.
I am now at the stage of complete confusion and cant think how to do this.
I am aware that the explanation is a little light but this is a reflection of my confusion and I suspect that the greatest help will come from request for clarification which will help to get the head in order.
You could use request-scoped beans:
#Component
#Scope(value=WebApplicationContext.SCOPE_REQUEST,proxyMode=ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
public class CommandProcessor {
}
You can just inject CommandProcessor in your code and Spring will make sure you get different instance for every user request. You also will need CGLIB on your classpath.
If I got your requirements right you either need a factory method in your command class, or a FactoryBean that creates the instances.
I have a rather large spring application, and all I'm trying to share is a single Map (using util.ConcurrentMap as implementation).
To do this, I created a bean in my appContext, and I tried to use the following tc-config line:
*/applicationContext.xml
Must I do something else to enable this to work? MyClass is a rather simple domain object that contains only primitives, two constructors, and accessors/mutators.
Must I do something else to get this working? I'm using Terracotta 3.0.0.
You need to create a tc-config.xml config file as described in http://www.terracotta.org/web/display/orgsite/Spring+Integration.
