The sses Map has been moved from MessageController class to a class annotated with #Service MessageTemplate.class . Now we need a way to add SseEmitter instances (created inside openConn()) to the sses map inside MessageTemplate class.
Map may not be the best choice here, if so, what other cache alternatives available because I need a away to send messages back to individual clients?
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value="/")
public class MessageController{
#Autowired MessageOperations mesgOps;
//Moved to MessageTemplate
Map<String, SseEmitter> sses = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
#GetMapping(value = "/conn/{username}")
public SseEmitter openConn(#PathVariable("username") String username){
SseEmitter sseEmitter = new SseEmitter(3600000L);
sses.put(username, sseEmitter);
return sseEmitter;
}
#Service
public class MessageTemplate implements MessageOperations{
//The above map now resides here.
Map<String, SseEmitter> sses = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
..
}
Assuming, all the presented abstraction in the question are “custom” (the code that was written in your organization) and do not belong to spring ecosystem by themselves, I see the following:
A MessageTemplate is a singleton-scoped bean driven by spring
The controller is also a singleton bean.
MessageOperations interface is your custom interface that you’re using for injection.
In this case the obvious change would be:
interface MessageOperations {
SseEmitter associateSseEmitterWithUser(String userName);
}
#Service
public class MessageTemplate implements MessageOperations {
private Map<String, SseEmitter> sses = new ConcurrentHashMap<>();
// other existing code you might already have
public SseEmitter associateSseEmitterWithUser(String username) {
SseEmitter sseEmitter = new SseEmitter(3600000L);
sses.put(username, sseEmitter);
return sseEmitter;
}
}
#Controller
#RequestMapping(value = “/“)
public class MessageController {
#Autowired MessageOperations mesgOps;
#GetMapping(value=“/conn/{username})
public SseEmitter openConn(#PathVariable(“username”) String username) {
return mesgOps.associateSseEmitterWithUser(username);
}
}
Transaction is not rolling back in spring batch. I am throwing exception intentionally to test transaction roll back. Database transaction is committing even with exception thrown from the item writer.Below is the method in writer which is saving into DB. compEvent object is jpa repository injected into this class
private void writeCEs(Map> agentMap) throws FailedCompensationException, Exception {
for (Entry> agent : agentMap.entrySet()) {
agent.getValue().stream().forEach((ce) -> {
compEvent.save(ce);
});
updateRecordFileStatus(agent.getKey());
//postToAccounting(agent.getKey(), agent.getValue());
}
throw new Exception("Testing XA roolback.... ");
}
I tried marking transaction for the above method with
#Transactional(propagation = Propagation.REQUIRES_NEW,rollbackFor = Exception.class)
Still it is committing the transaction. I am sure I am missing something. any help would be appreciated.
Below is my batch configuration
#EnableBatchProcessing
#EnableTransactionManagement #Configuration #ComponentScan({ "com.pm.*" })
public class TrueBatchConfig extends DefaultBatchConfigurer {
#Autowired
private JobBuilderFactory jobs;
#Autowired
private StepBuilderFactory steps;
#Autowired
EventReader reader;
#Autowired
private EventProcessor processor;
#Autowired
private EventWriter writer;
#Bean
protected Step step1(ThreadPoolTaskExecutor executor) {
DefaultTransactionAttribute attribute = new DefaultTransactionAttribute();
attribute.setPropagationBehavior(Propagation.REQUIRED.value());
attribute.setIsolationLevel(Isolation.DEFAULT.value());
attribute.setTimeout(30);
return steps.get("step1")., Map>>chunk(10).reader(reader)
.processor(processor).writer(writer).transactionAttribute(attribute).build();
}
#Bean(name = "firstBatchJob")
public Job job(#Qualifier("step1") Step step1) {
return jobs.get("firstBatchJob").start(step1).build();
}
}
According to your configuration, Spring Batch is not configured to use your JpaTransactionManager, you need to override getTransactionManager, see example here. In your case it should be something like:
public class TrueBatchConfig extends DefaultBatchConfigurer {
// ..
#Override
public PlatformTransactionManager getTransactionManager() {
return new JpaTransactionManager(); // TODO set entity manager factory
}
}
I have a spring application in which I am trying to inject many beans of the same type. I do not know how many of these beans there will be before runtime, so it seems natural to use the factory pattern, as I cannot configure each bean in my java config class. However, these beans need to have some of their fields wired by Spring, and when I create them with "new" in my factory, they are of course not Spring managed.
Is there a way to have the beans I create in my factory class be managed by Spring? Or is the factory pattern the wrong way to go about this?
I am fairly new to posting, so please let me know if any more information is necessary.
You can define a beanFactory wired with the dependencies needed for your bean, then manually injected them in each new bean created by the beanFactory. For example:
public class MyBean {
private Dependency1 dep1;
private Dependency2 dep2;
public MyBean(Dependency1 dep1, Dependency2 dep2) {
this.dep1 = dep1;
this.dep2 = dep2;
}
}
#Component
public class MyBeanFactory {
#Autowired
private Dependency1 dep1;
#Autowired
private Dependency2 dep2;
public MyBean createInstance() {
return new MyBean(dep1, dep2);
}
}
#Component
public class MyBeanConsumer {
#Autowired
private MyBeanFactory myBeanFactory;
public void foo() {
final MyBean bean = myBeanFactory.createInstance();
}
}
You can't use #Autowired because of the variable number of beans, but you can still make use of ApplicationContextAware to create obtain the beans.
Using that you can programmatically create prototype beans from your Java code if the type of bean has been defined before in the configuration, or alternatively you can create the new object in your factory using new, and then set the dependencies by using this same method.
This is an example of an implementation:
public final class ApplicationContextProvider implements ApplicationContextAware {
private static ApplicationContext CONTEXT;
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext context) throws BeansException {
CONTEXT = context;
}
public static Object getBean(String beanName) {
return CONTEXT != null ? CONTEXT.getBean(beanName) : null;
}
public static <T> T getBean(Class<T> objectClass) {
return CONTEXT != null ? CONTEXT.getBean(objectClass) : null;
}
}
I need to inject an object into my No XML Spring #Configuration object as follows:
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackages = "web.client")
public class WebApplicationConfiguration extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(WebApplicationConfiguration.class);
#Inject
private MonitoringExceptionResolver resolver; // always null
#Override
public void configureHandlerExceptionResolvers(List<HandlerExceptionResolver> exceptionResolvers) {
log.debug("configuring exception resolvers");
super.configureHandlerExceptionResolvers(exceptionResolvers);
exceptionResolvers.add(new DefaultHandlerExceptionResolver());
exceptionResolvers.add(new AnnotationMethodHandlerExceptionResolver());
exceptionResolvers.add(new ResponseStatusExceptionResolver());
exceptionResolvers.add(resolver); // passing null ref here
}
}
Where MonitoringExceptionResolver is defined as follows:
#Service
public class MonitoringExceptionResolver implements HandlerExceptionResolver {
private final Counters counters;
#Inject
public MonitoringExceptionResolver(Counters counters) {
super();
this.counters = counters;
}
public ModelAndView resolveException(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response, Object handler, Exception ex) {
Counter counter = counters.getCounterFor(ex.getClass());
if(counter != null) {
counter.increment();
}
return null;
}
}
However, I get NPE later in the execution chain because the "resolver" field above is null, even if I use #Autowired.
Other classes are being successfully wired in elsewhere using component scanning. Why is it always null in the above? Am I doing something wrong?
#Inject and #Autowired should work very similar in Spring.
Make sure that *BeanPostProcessor in use is aware of MonitoringExceptionResolver: mark it as #Component and make is subject of some #ComponentScan or make a #Bean factory method is some #Configuration class in use.
I am trying to inject a Spring dependency into an JPA EntityListener. Here is my listener class:
#Configurable(autowire = Autowire.BY_TYPE, dependencyCheck = true)
public class PliListener {
#Autowired
private EvenementPliRepository evenementPliRepository;
#PostPersist
void onPostPersist(Pli pli) {
EvenementPli ev = new EvenementPli();
ev.setPli(pli);
ev.setDateCreation(new Date());
ev.setType(TypeEvenement.creation);
ev.setMessage("Création d'un pli");
System.out.println("evenementPliRepository: " + evenementPliRepository);
evenementPliRepository.save(ev);
}
}
Here is my Entity class:
#RooJavaBean
#RooToString
#RooJpaActiveRecord
#EntityListeners(PliListener.class)
public class Pli implements Serializable{
...
However, my dependency (i.e. evenementPliRepository) is always null.
Can anyone please help?
A hack to inject dependencies on stateless beans, is to define the dependency as "static", create a setter method so that Spring can inject the dependency (assigning it to the static dependency).
Declare the dependency as static.
static private EvenementPliRepository evenementPliRepository;
Create a method so that Spring can inject it.
#Autowired
public void init(EvenementPliRepository evenementPliRepository)
{
MyListenerClass.evenementPliRepository = evenementPliRepository;
logger.info("Initializing with dependency ["+ evenementPliRepository +"]");
}
More details at: http://blog-en.lineofsightnet.com/2012/08/dependency-injection-on-stateless-beans.html
This is actually an old question but I found an alternative solution :
public class MyEntityListener {
#Autowired
private ApplicationEventPublisher publisher;
#PostPersist
public void postPersist(MyEntity target) {
SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnCurrentContext(this);
publisher.publishEvent(new OnCreatedEvent<>(this, target));
}
#PostUpdate
public void postUpdate(MyEntity target) {
SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnCurrentContext(this);
publisher.publishEvent(new OnUpdatedEvent<>(this, target));
}
#PostRemove
public void postDelete(MyEntity target) {
SpringBeanAutowiringSupport.processInjectionBasedOnCurrentContext(this);
publisher.publishEvent(new OnDeletedEvent<>(this, target));
}
}
Probably not the best one but better than static variables w/o AOP + weaving.
I annotated the listener with #Component annotation, then created a non static setter to assign the injected Spring bean, it works well
My code looks like :
#Component
public class EntityListener {
private static MyService service;
#Autowired
public void setMyService (MyService service) {
this.service=service;
}
#PreUpdate
public void onPreUpdate() {
service.doThings()
}
#PrePersist
public void onPersist() {
...
}
}
Since Spring V5.1 (and Hibernate V5.3) it should work out of the box as Spring registers as the provider of those classes.
see documentation of SpringBeanContainer
And what about this solution?
#MappedSuperclass
#EntityListeners(AbstractEntityListener.class)
public abstract class AbstractEntity {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.AUTO)
#Column(name = "id")
private Long id;
#Column(name = "creation_date")
private Date creationDate;
#Column(name = "modification_date")
private Date modificationDate;
}
Then the Listener...
#Component
public class AbstractEntityListener {
#Autowired
private DateTimeService dateTimeService;
#PreUpdate
public void preUpdate(AbstractEntity abstractEntity) {
AutowireHelper.autowire(this, this.dateTimeService);
abstractEntity.setModificationDate(this.dateTimeService.getCurrentDate());
}
#PrePersist
public void prePersist(AbstractEntity abstractEntity) {
AutowireHelper.autowire(this, this.dateTimeService);
Date currentDate = this.dateTimeService.getCurrentDate();
abstractEntity.setCreationDate(currentDate);
abstractEntity.setModificationDate(currentDate);
}
}
And the helper...
/**
* Helper class which is able to autowire a specified class. It holds a static reference to the {#link org
* .springframework.context.ApplicationContext}.
*/
public final class AutowireHelper implements ApplicationContextAware {
private static final AutowireHelper INSTANCE = new AutowireHelper();
private static ApplicationContext applicationContext;
private AutowireHelper() {
}
/**
* Tries to autowire the specified instance of the class if one of the specified beans which need to be autowired
* are null.
*
* #param classToAutowire the instance of the class which holds #Autowire annotations
* #param beansToAutowireInClass the beans which have the #Autowire annotation in the specified {#classToAutowire}
*/
public static void autowire(Object classToAutowire, Object... beansToAutowireInClass) {
for (Object bean : beansToAutowireInClass) {
if (bean == null) {
applicationContext.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory().autowireBean(classToAutowire);
}
}
}
#Override
public void setApplicationContext(final ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
AutowireHelper.applicationContext = applicationContext;
}
/**
* #return the singleton instance.
*/
public static AutowireHelper getInstance() {
return INSTANCE;
}
}
Works for me.

http://guylabs.ch/2014/02/22/autowiring-pring-beans-in-hibernate-jpa-entity-listeners/
I started to go down the path of using AOP to inject a spring bean into an Entity listener. After a day and a half of research and trying different things I came across this link which stated:
It is not possible to inject spring managed beans into a JPA EntityListener class. This is because the JPA listener mechanism should be based on a stateless class, so the methods are effectively static, and non-context aware. ... No amount of AOP will save you, nothing gets injected to the ‘object’ representing the listener, because the implementations don’t actually create instances, but uses the class method.
At this point I regrouped and stumbled across the EclipseLink DescriptorEventAdapter. Using this information I created a listener class that extended the Descriptor Adapter.
public class EntityListener extends DescriptorEventAdapter {
private String injectedValue;
public void setInjectedValue(String value){
this.injectedValue = value;
}
#Override
public void aboutToInsert(DescriptorEvent event) {
// Do what you need here
}
}
In order to use the class I could have used the #EntityListeners annotation on my entity class. Unfortunately, this method would not allow Spring to control the creation of my listener and as a result would not allow for dependency injection. Instead I added the following 'init' function to my class:
public void init() {
JpaEntityManager entityManager = null;
try {
// Create an entity manager for use in this function
entityManager = (JpaEntityManager) entityManagerFactory.createEntityManager();
// Use the entity manager to get a ClassDescriptor for the Entity class
ClassDescriptor desc =
entityManager.getSession().getClassDescriptor(<EntityClass>.class);
// Add this class as a listener to the class descriptor
desc.getEventManager().addListener(this);
} finally {
if (entityManager != null) {
// Cleanup the entity manager
entityManager.close();
}
}
}
Add a little Spring XML configuration
<!-- Define listener object -->
<bean id="entityListener" class="EntityListener " init-method="init">
<property name="injectedValue" value="Hello World"/>
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="emf"/>
</bean>
Now we have a situation where Spring creates a entity listener, injects it with whatever dependencies are needed, and the listener object registers itself with the entity class to which it intends to listen.
I hope this helps.
try use ObjectFactory like this
#Configurable
public class YourEntityListener {
#Autowired
private ObjectFactory<YourBean> yourBeanProvider;
#PrePersist
public void beforePersist(Object target) {
YourBean yourBean = yourBeanProvider.getObject();
// do somthing with yourBean here
}
}
I found this solution in org.springframework.data.jpa.domain.support.AuditingEntityListener from spring-data-jpa.
demo: https://github.com/eclipseAce/inject-into-entity-listener
I tested out the approach suggested in https://guylabs.ch/2014/02/22/autowiring-pring-beans-in-hibernate-jpa-entity-listeners/ and worked. Not very clean but does the job. Slightly modified AutowireHelper class for me looked like this:
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContextAware;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;
#Component
public class AutowireHelper implements ApplicationContextAware {
private static ApplicationContext applicationContext;
private AutowireHelper() {
}
public static void autowire(Object classToAutowire) {
AutowireHelper.applicationContext.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory().autowireBean(classToAutowire);
}
#Override
public void setApplicationContext(final ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
AutowireHelper.applicationContext = applicationContext;
}
}
Then called this from entity listener like this:
public class MyEntityAccessListener {
#Autowired
private MyService myService;
#PostLoad
public void postLoad(Object target) {
AutowireHelper.autowire(this);
myService.doThings();
...
}
public void setMyService(MyService myService) {
this.myService = myService;
}
}
The problem with JPA Listeners is that:
they are not managed by Spring (so no injections)
they are (or might be) created before Spring's Application Context is ready (so we can't inject beans on a constructor call)
My workaround to deal with the issue:
1) Create Listener class with public static LISTENERS field:
public abstract class Listener {
// for encapsulation purposes we have private modifiable and public non-modifiable lists
private static final List<Listener> PRIVATE_LISTENERS = new ArrayList<>();
public static final List<Listener> LISTENERS = Collections.unmodifiableList(PRIVATE_LISTENERS);
protected Listener() {
PRIVATE_LISTENERS.add(this);
}
}
2) All JPA listeners that we want to be added to Listener.LISTENERS has to extend this class:
public class MyListener extends Listener {
#PrePersist
public void onPersist() {
...
}
...
}
3) Now we can get all listeners and inject beans just after Spring's Application Context is ready
#Component
public class ListenerInjector {
#Autowired
private ApplicationContext context;
#EventListener(ContextRefreshedEvent.class)
public void contextRefreshed() {
Listener.LISTENERS.forEach(listener -> context.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory().autowireBean(listener));
}
}
I believe it is because this listener bean is not under control of Spring. Spring is not instantiating it, how can Spring know how to find that bean and do the injection?
I haven't tried on that, but seems that you can make use of AspectJ Weaver with Spring's Configurable annotation to have Spring control non-Spring-instantiated beans.
http://static.springsource.org/spring/docs/3.1.2.RELEASE/spring-framework-reference/html/aop.html#aop-using-aspectj
Since version 5.3 of Hibernate and version 5.1 of Spring (that's version 2.1 of Spring Boot), there's an easy solution.
No hack, no need to use AOP, no helper classes, no explicit autowiring, no init block to force injection.
You just need to:
Make the listener a #Component and declare the autowired bean, as usual.
Configure JPA in your Spring application to use Spring as the bean provider.
Here's how (in Kotlin)...
1) Entity listener
#Component
class EntityXyzListener(val mySpringBean: MySpringBean) {
#PostLoad
fun afterLoad(entityXyz: EntityXyz) {
// Injected bean is available here. (In my case the bean is a
// domain service that I make available to the entity.)
entityXyz.mySpringBean= mySpringBean
}
}
2) JPA datasource config
Get access to LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean in your application. Then add to jpaPropertyMap the following key-value pair: AvailableSettings.BEAN_CONTAINER => the application context's bean factory.
In my Spring Boot application I already had the code below to configure a datasource (boilerplate code found here for example). I only had to add the line of code that puts the BEAN_CONTAINER property in the jpaPropertyMap.
#Resource
lateinit var context: AbstractApplicationContext
#Primary
#Bean
#Qualifier("appDatasource")
#ConfigurationProperties(prefix = "spring.datasource")
fun myAppDatasource(): DataSource {
return DataSourceBuilder.create().build()
}
#Primary
#Bean(name = ["myAppEntityManagerFactory"])
fun entityManagerFactoryBean(builder: EntityManagerFactoryBuilder): LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean {
val localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean =
builder
.dataSource(myAppDatasource())
.packages("com.mydomain.myapp")
.persistenceUnit("myAppPersistenceUnit")
.build()
// the line below does the trick
localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.jpaPropertyMap.put(
AvailableSettings.BEAN_CONTAINER, SpringBeanContainer(context.beanFactory))
return localContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean
}
Another option:
Create a service to make AplicationContext accessible:
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
import lombok.Setter;
#Service
class ContextWrapper {
#Setter
private static ApplicationContext context;
#Autowired
public ContextWrapper(ApplicationContext ac) {
setContext(ac);
}
}
Use it:
...
public class AuditListener {
private static final String AUDIT_REPOSITORY = "AuditRepository";
#PrePersist
public void beforePersist(Object object){
//TODO:
}
#PreUpdate
public void beforeUpdate(Object object){
//TODO:
}
#PreRemove
public void beforeDelete(Object object) {
getRepo().save(getAuditElement("DEL",object));
}
private Audit getAuditElement(String Operation,Object object){
Audit audit = new Audit();
audit.setActor("test");
Timestamp timestamp = new Timestamp(System.currentTimeMillis());
audit.setDate(timestamp);
return audit;
}
private AuditRepository getRepo(){
return ContextWrapper.getContext().getBean(AUDIT_REPOSITORY, AuditRepository.class);
}
}
This class is created as a listener from jpa:
...
#Entity
#EntityListeners(AuditListener.class)
#NamedQuery(name="Customer.findAll", query="SELECT c FROM Customer c")
public class Customer implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
...
Since the listener is not under Spring's control, it can not access the context bean. I have tried multiple options (#Configurable (...)) and none has worked except to create a class that static access to the context. Already in that dilemma I think that this is an elegant option.
Building on the answer of Paulo Merson, here is a variation of how to set the SpringBeanContainer by utilizing JpaBaseConfiguration. Here are both steps:
Step 1: Define the listener as a Spring component. Note that autowiring works through constructor injection.
#Component
public class PliListener {
private EvenementPliRepository evenementPliRepository;
public PliListener(EvenementPliRepository repo) {
this.evenementPliRepository = repo;
}
#PrePersist
public void touchForCreate(Object target) {
// ...
}
#PostPersist
void onPostPersist(Object target) {
// ...
}
}
Step 2: Set the SpringBeanContainer, which enables autowiring in the listener. SpringBeanContainer JavaDoc might be worth a look.
#Configuration
public class JpaConfig extends JpaBaseConfiguration {
#Autowired
private ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory;
protected JpaConfig(DataSource dataSource, JpaProperties properties,
ObjectProvider<JtaTransactionManager> jtaTransactionManager) {
super(dataSource, properties, jtaTransactionManager);
}
#Override
protected AbstractJpaVendorAdapter createJpaVendorAdapter() {
return new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter();
}
#Override
protected Map<String, Object> getVendorProperties() {
Map<String, Object> props = new HashMap<>();
// configure use of SpringBeanContainer
props.put(org.hibernate.cfg.AvailableSettings.BEAN_CONTAINER,
new SpringBeanContainer(beanFactory));
return props;
}
}
The most natural way is, in my opinion, to intervene into the process of instantiating of EntityListener.
This way significantly differs in Hibernate pre-5.3 versions and post-5.3 ones.
1) In Hibernate versions earlier than 5.3 org.hibernate.jpa.event.spi.jpa.ListenerFactory is responsible for EntityListener instantiation. The instantiation of this factory can be intercepted if you provide your own CDI-based javax.enterprise.inject.spi.BeanManager. The CDI interfaces are (unnecessary for Spring DI world) verbose, but it's not difficult to implement Spring BeanFactory-backed CDI Bean manager.
#Component
public class SpringCdiBeanManager implements BeanManager {
#Autowired
private BeanFactory beanFactory;
#Override
public <T> AnnotatedType<T> createAnnotatedType(Class<T> type) {
return new SpringBeanType<T>(beanFactory, type);
}
#Override
public <T> InjectionTarget<T> createInjectionTarget(AnnotatedType<T> type) {
return (InjectionTarget<T>) type;
}
...
// have empty implementation for other methods
}
and the implementation of type-dependent SpringBeanType<T> will look like this:
public class SpringBeanType <T> implements AnnotatedType<T>, InjectionTarget<T>{
private BeanFactory beanFactory;
private Class<T> clazz;
public SpringBeanType(BeanFactory beanFactory, Class<T> clazz) {
this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
this.clazz = clazz;
}
#Override
public T produce(CreationalContext<T> ctx) {
return beanFactory.getBean(clazz);
}
...
// have empty implementation for other methods
}
Now, the only thing left is to inject into Hibernate Configuration Settings our implementation of BeanManager under a property name javax.persistence.bean.manager. There are, probably, many ways to do so, let me bring just one of them:
#Configuration
public class HibernateConfig {
#Autowired
private SpringCdiBeanManager beanManager;
#Bean
public JpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter() {
HibernateJpaVendorAdapter jpaVendorAdapter = new HibernateJpaVendorAdapter(){
#Override
public Map<String, Object> getJpaPropertyMap(){
Map<String, Object> jpaPropertyMap = super.getJpaPropertyMap();
jpaPropertyMap.put("javax.persistence.bean.manager", beanManager);
return jpaPropertyMap;
}
};
// ...
return jpaVendorAdapter;
}
}
Just remember that two things have to be Spring beans:
a) SpringCdiBeanManager, so that BeanFactory could be injected/autowired to it;
b) your EntityListener class, so that line return beanFactory.getBean(clazz); will be successful.
2) In Hibernate versions 5.3 and later things are much easier for Spring beans, as #AdrianShum very correctly pointed out. Since 5.3 Hibernate uses org.hibernate.resource.beans.container.spi.BeanContainer concept and there is its ready-to-use implementation for Spring Beans, org.springframework.orm.hibernate5.SpringBeanContainer. In this case, just follow its javadoc.
As others have pointed out, it appears SpringBeanContainer is the way to wire up Spring to Hibernate's ManagedBeanRegistryImpl, which is responsible for creating instances of EntityListeners when Hibernate is creating it's callback objects. Calls to create beans are delegated to SpringBeanContainer which can create Spring beans with both constructor injection and autowiring. For example a EntityListener would look like
public class MyEntityListener {
#Autowired
private AnotherBean anotherBean;
private MyBean myBean;
public InquiryEntityListener(MyBean myBean) {
this.myBean = myBean;
}
public MyEntityListener() {
}
}
Note that the EntityListener does NOT require #Component annotation as this only creates an extra instance which is not used by Hibernate.
However when using SpringBeanContainer there are some important limitations and caveats that must be kept in mind. In our use case, instances of our EntityListener were created during the creation of Hibernate EntityManager. As this happened fairly early during the Spring lifecycle, many beans did not exist at this time. This led to the following discovery:
The SpringBeanContainer will only autowire/constructor bean dependencies that exist at the time when the EntityListener is created. Constructor dependencies that don't exist will cause the default constructor to be called. Essentially there is a race condition when using SpringBeanContainer.
The work around for this is to inject a DefaultListableBeanFactory instance into the EntityListener. Later when the EntityListeners lifecycle methods are called (i.e. #PostLoad, #PostPersist, etc.) instances of the desired bean can be pulled out of the BeanFactory as the beans would've been created by Spring at this point.
