I have two custom annotation as described below.
CustomAnnotationMain is a Spring Component based annotation.
CustomAnnotationChild is a Spring Bean based annotation.
Below is the code snippet which uses the 2 custom annotations.
#CustomAnnotationMain(value = "parent")
public class MainClass{
#CustomAnnotationChild(value = "child1")
public ObjectBuilder getObject1() {
// logic
}
#CustomAnnotationChild(value = "child2")
public ObjectBuilder getObject2() {
// logic
}
}
Question: How can I get the list of all CustomAnnotationMain annotated classes and also all the beans + annotation infos that are available as part of the component?
I did the following to get all the beans annotated with #CustomAnnotationChild. But I am not sure how to access the class in which the bean is available. I need to access #CustomAnnotationMain for a given bean.
allBuilders = context.getBeansOfType(ObjectBuilder.class);
PS: This is not Spring Boot based project. I use only the spring core libs.
I did something similar. Introduced an interface Proxyable and need to find all the beans annotated with the interface or create proxy s for all defined interfaces.
https://github.com/StanislavLapitsky/SpringSOAProxy/blob/master/core/src/main/java/org/proxysoa/spring/service/ProxyableScanRegistrar.java
In your case you should replace Proxyable with your CustomAnnotationMain.
The logic of ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider definition can be changed to reflect your filter (I need there interfaces only).
public void registerBeanDefinitions(AnnotationMetadata metadata, BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) {
LOG.debug("Registering #Proxyable beans");
// Get the ProxyableScan annotation attributes
Map<String, Object> annotationAttributes = metadata.getAnnotationAttributes(ProxyableScan.class.getCanonicalName());
if (annotationAttributes != null) {
String[] basePackages = (String[]) annotationAttributes.get("value");
if (basePackages.length == 0) {
// If value attribute is not set, fallback to the package of the annotated class
basePackages = new String[]{((StandardAnnotationMetadata) metadata).getIntrospectedClass().getPackage().getName()};
}
// using these packages, scan for interface annotated with Proxyable
ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider provider = new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(false, environment) {
// Override isCandidateComponent to only scan for interface
#Override
protected boolean isCandidateComponent(AnnotatedBeanDefinition beanDefinition) {
AnnotationMetadata metadata = beanDefinition.getMetadata();
return metadata.isIndependent() && metadata.isInterface();
}
};
provider.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(Proxyable.class));
ControllerFactory factory = getControllerFactory((DefaultListableBeanFactory) registry);
// Scan all packages
for (String basePackage : basePackages) {
for (BeanDefinition beanDefinition : provider.findCandidateComponents(basePackage)) {
try {
Class c = this.getClass().getClassLoader().loadClass(beanDefinition.getBeanClassName());
if (!hasImplementingClass(c, basePackages)) {
//creating missing beans logic is skipped
}
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new SOAControllerCreationException("cannot create proxy for " + beanDefinition.getBeanClassName());
}
}
}
}
}
Hope it helps
I have been evaluating to adopt spring-data-mongodb for a project. In summary, my aim is:
Using existing XML schema files to generate Java classes.
This is achieved using JAXB xjc
The root class is TSDProductDataType and is further modeled as below:
The thing to note here is that ExtensionType contains protected List<Object> any; allowing it to store Objects of any class. In my case, it is amongst the classes named TSDModule_Name_HereModuleType and can be browsed here
Use spring-data-mongodb as persistence store
This is achieved using a simple ProductDataRepository
#RepositoryRestResource(collectionResourceRel = "product", path = "product")
public interface ProductDataRepository extends MongoRepository<TSDProductDataType, String> {
TSDProductDataType queryByGtin(#Param("gtin") String gtin);
}
The unmarshalled TSDProductDataType, however, contains JAXBElement which spring-data-mongodb doesn't seem to handle by itself and throws a CodecConfigurationException org.bson.codecs.configuration.CodecConfigurationException: Can't find a codec for class java.lang.Class.
Here is the faulty statement:
TSDProductDataType tsdProductDataType = jaxbElement.getValue();
repository.save(tsdProductDataType);
I tried playing around with Converters for spring-data-mongodb as explained here, however, it seems I am missing something since the exception is about "Codecs" and not "Converters".
Any help is appreciated.
EDIT:
Adding converters for JAXBElement
Note: Works with version 1.5.6.RELEASE of org.springframework.boot::spring-boot-starter-parent. With version 2.0.0.M3, hell breaks loose
It seems that I missed something while trying to add converter earlier. So, I added it like below for testing:
#Component
#ReadingConverter
public class JAXBElementReadConverter implements Converter<DBObject, JAXBElement> {
//#Autowired
//MongoConverter converter;
#Override
public JAXBElement convert(DBObject dbObject) {
Class declaredType, scope;
QName name = qNameFromString((String)dbObject.get("name"));
Object rawValue = dbObject.get("value");
try {
declaredType = Class.forName((String)dbObject.get("declaredType"));
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
if (rawValue.getClass().isArray()) declaredType = List.class;
else declaredType = LinkedHashMap.class;
}
try {
scope = Class.forName((String) dbObject.get("scope"));
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
scope = JAXBElement.GlobalScope.class;
}
//Object value = rawValue instanceof DBObject ? converter.read(declaredType, (DBObject) rawValue) : rawValue;
Object value = "TODO";
return new JAXBElement(name, declaredType, scope, value);
}
QName qNameFromString(String s) {
String[] parts = s.split("[{}]");
if (parts.length > 2) return new QName(parts[1], parts[2], parts[0]);
if (parts.length == 1) return new QName(parts[0]);
return new QName("undef");
}
}
#Component
#WritingConverter
public class JAXBElementWriteConverter implements Converter<JAXBElement, DBObject> {
//#Autowired
//MongoConverter converter;
#Override
public DBObject convert(JAXBElement jaxbElement) {
DBObject dbObject = new BasicDBObject();
dbObject.put("name", qNameToString(jaxbElement.getName()));
dbObject.put("declaredType", jaxbElement.getDeclaredType().getName());
dbObject.put("scope", jaxbElement.getScope().getCanonicalName());
//dbObject.put("value", converter.convertToMongoType(jaxbElement.getValue()));
dbObject.put("value", "TODO");
dbObject.put("_class", JAXBElement.class.getName());
return dbObject;
}
public String qNameToString(QName name) {
if (name.getNamespaceURI() == XMLConstants.NULL_NS_URI) return name.getLocalPart();
return name.getPrefix() + '{' + name.getNamespaceURI() + '}' + name.getLocalPart();
}
}
#SpringBootApplication
public class TsdApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(TsdApplication.class, args);
}
#Bean
public CustomConversions customConversions() {
return new CustomConversions(Arrays.asList(
new JAXBElementReadConverter(),
new JAXBElementWriteConverter()
));
}
}
So far so good. However, how do I instantiate MongoConverter converter;?
MongoConverter is an interface so I guess I need an instantiable class adhering to this interface. Any suggestions?
I understand the desire for convenience in being able to just map an existing domain object to the database layer with no boilerplate, but even if you weren't having the JAXB class structure issue, I would still be recommending away from using it verbatim. Unless this is a simple one-off project, you almost definitely will hit a point where your domain models will need to change but your persisted data need to remain in an existing state. If you are just straight persisting the data, you have no mechanism to convert between a newer domain schema and an older persisted data scheme. Versioning of the persisted data scheme would be wise too.
The link you posted for writing the customer converters is one way to achieve this and fits in nicely with the Spring ecosystem. That method should also solve the issue you are experiencing (about the underlying messy JAXB data structure not converting cleanly).
Are you unable to get that method working? Ensure you are loading them into the Spring context with #Component plus auto-class scanning or manually via some Configuration class.
EDIT to address your EDIT:
Add the following to each of your converters:
private final MongoConverter converter;
public JAXBElement____Converter(MongoConverter converter) {
this.converter = converter;
}
Try changing your bean definition to:
#Bean
public CustomConversions customConversions(#Lazy MongoConverter converter) {
return new CustomConversions(Arrays.asList(
new JAXBElementReadConverter(converter),
new JAXBElementWriteConverter(converter)
));
}
I have several beans in my Spring context that have state, so I'd like to reset that state before/after unit tests.
My idea was to add a method to a helper class which just goes through all beans in the Spring context, checks for methods that are annotated with #Before or #After and invoke them.
How do I get a list of instantiated beans from the ApplicationContext?
Note: Solutions which simply iterate over all defined beans are useless because I have many lazy beans and some of them must not be instantiated because that would fail for some tests (i.e. I have a beans that need a java.sql.DataSource but the tests work because they don't need that bean).
For example:
public static List<Object> getInstantiatedSigletons(ApplicationContext ctx) {
List<Object> singletons = new ArrayList<Object>();
String[] all = ctx.getBeanDefinitionNames();
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory clbf = ((AbstractApplicationContext) ctx).getBeanFactory();
for (String name : all) {
Object s = clbf.getSingleton(name);
if (s != null)
singletons.add(s);
}
return singletons;
}
I had to improve it a little
#Resource
AbstractApplicationContext context;
#After
public void cleanup() {
resetAllMocks();
}
private void resetAllMocks() {
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = context.getBeanFactory();
for (String name : context.getBeanDefinitionNames()) {
Object bean = beanFactory.getSingleton(name);
if (Mockito.mockingDetails(bean).isMock()) {
Mockito.reset(bean);
}
}
}
I am not sure whether this will help you or not.
You need to create your own annotation eg. MyAnnot.
And place that annotation on the class which you want to get.
And then using following code you might get the instantiated bean.
ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider scanner = new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(false);
scanner.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(MyAnnot.class));
for (BeanDefinition beanDefinition : scanner.findCandidateComponents("com.xxx.yyy")){
System.out.println(beanDefinition.getBeanClassName());
}
This way you can get all the beans having your custom annotation.
applicationContext.getBeanDefinitionNames() does not show the beans which are registered without BeanDefinition instance.

System.out.println(singleton);
}
}

I've created a gist ApplicationContextAwareTestBase.
This helper class does two things:
It sets all internal fields to null. This allows Java to free memory that isn't used anymore. It's less useful with Spring (the Spring context still keeps references to all the beans), though.
It tries to find all methods annotated with #After in all beans in the context and invokes them after the test.
That way, you can easily reset state of your singletons / mocks without having to destroy / refresh the context.
Example: You have a mock DAO:
public void MockDao implements IDao {
private Map<Long, Foo> database = Maps.newHashMap();
#Override
public Foo byId( Long id ) { return database.get( id ) );
#Override
public void save( Foo foo ) { database.put( foo.getId(), foo ); }
#After
public void reset() { database.clear(); }
}
The annotation will make sure reset() will be called after each unit test to clean up the internal state.
Using the previous answers, I've updated this to use Java 8 Streams API:
#Inject
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
#Before
public void resetMocks() {
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = ((AbstractApplicationContext) applicationContext).getBeanFactory();
Stream.of(applicationContext.getBeanDefinitionNames())
.map(n -> beanFactory.getSingleton(n))
// My ConfigurableListableBeanFactory isn't compiled for 1.8 so can't use method reference. If yours is, you can say
// .map(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory::getSingleton)
.filter(b -> Mockito.mockingDetails(b).isMock())
.forEach(Mockito::reset);
}
I want to search for some annotations in a Spring based web application, like #Entity. Therefore I need the same functionality like Spring involves when the server starts up and it looks for all classes that are annotated with #Component. In my case I don't create singleton's, it's just important for me to collect all those classes annotated with #Entity.
Is there any possibility to use existing Spring tools for that? I want to search exactly in the same namespace as Spring does for the #Component annotations.
Sure, look at parse() method in org.springframework.context.annotation.ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser. This method is called when Spring encounters <context:component-scan/> in the XML configuration. Probably You can strip it a bit to better suit your needs, but it should serve as a comprehensive example.
The class You should be particularly interested in is org.springframework.context.annotation.ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner. From JavaDoc:
Candidate classes are detected through configurable type filters. The default filters include classes that are annotated with Spring's #Component, #Repository, #Service, or #Controller stereotype.
BTW if you need less general solution, maybe your persistence provider has some API to fetch all entity classes?
Spring's built-in classpath scanning infrastructure (ClassPathBeanDefinitionScanner/ ComponentScanBeanDefinitionParser) is geared up for registering classes as BeanDefinitions within an Spring appcontext.
If you're just looking to obtain a list of classes annotated with a given annotation (rather than actually register them in Spring as bean definitions) take a look at the Google Reflections library.
Reflections allows you to scan your classpath using various filters, including an annotation filter.
Reflections reflections = new Reflections("my.project.prefix");
Set<Class<? extends SomeClassOrInterface>> subTypes = reflections.getSubTypesOf(SomeClassOrInterface.class);
Set<Class<?>> annotated = reflections.getTypesAnnotatedWith(SomeAnnotation.class);
Spring based solution
Use spring AnnotationTypeFilter and pass Entity.class as annotationType
using ResourcePatternResolver load all resouces(.class) under given pacakage
Use SimpleMetadataReaderFactory to get MetadataReader
for each resource you can call match on AnnotationTypeFilter using MetadataReader
metadataReader.getAnnotationMetadata().getClassName() will provide FQN of class
usage
AnnotatedClassFinder entityScanner = new AnnotatedClassFinder(Entity.class);
entityScanner.setPackages(Arrays.asList("org.myapp.domain"));
Collection<Class<?>> entities = entityScanner.findMarkedClassOfType();
public class AnnotatedClassFinder {
private static final String CLASS_RESOURCE_PATTERN = "**/*.class";
private List<String> packages;
private final ResourceLoader resourceLoader = new DefaultResourceLoader();
private final ResourcePatternResolver resourcePatternResolver = ResourcePatternUtils
.getResourcePatternResolver(resourceLoader);
private final MetadataReaderFactory metadataReaderFactory = new SimpleMetadataReaderFactory();
private final TypeFilter annotationFilter;
public AnnotatedClassFinder(final Class<? extends Annotation> annotationToScanFor) {
annotationFilter = new AnnotationTypeFilter(annotationToScanFor);
}
public Set<Class<?>> findMarkedClassOfType() {
if (packages == null) {
return new HashSet<Class<?>>();
}
final Set<Class<?>> annotatedClasses = new HashSet<Class<?>>();
try {
for (final String p : packages) {
final String packageSearchPath = ResourcePatternResolver.CLASSPATH_ALL_URL_PREFIX
+ ClassUtils.convertClassNameToResourcePath(SystemPropertyUtils.resolvePlaceholders(p)) + "/"
+ CLASS_RESOURCE_PATTERN;
final Resource[] resources = resourcePatternResolver.getResources(packageSearchPath);
for (final Resource resource : resources) {
if (resource.isReadable()) {
final MetadataReader metadataReader = this.metadataReaderFactory.getMetadataReader(resource);
if (annotationFilter.match(metadataReader, metadataReaderFactory)) {
annotatedClasses.add(Class.forName(metadataReader.getAnnotationMetadata().getClassName()));
}
}
}
}
return annotatedClasses;
} catch (final IOException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("I/O failure during classpath scanning", ex);
} catch (final ClassNotFoundException ex) {
throw new RuntimeException("Class loading failure during classpath scanning", ex);
}
}
public void setPackages(final List<String> packages) {
this.packages = packages;
}
}
I am using a properties File to store some configuration properties, that are accessed this way:
#Value("#{configuration.path_file}")
private String pathFile;
Is it possible (with Spring 3) to use the same #Value annotation, but loading the properties from a database instead of a file ?
Assuming you have a table in your database stored key/value pairs:
Define a new bean "applicationProperties" - psuedo-code follows...
public class ApplicationProperties {
#AutoWired
private DataSource datasource;
public getPropertyValue(String key) {
// transact on your datasource here to fetch value for key
// SNIPPED
}
}
Inject this bean where required in your application. If you already have a dao/service layer then you would just make use of that.
Yes, you can keep your #Value annotation, and use the database source with the help of EnvironmentPostProcessor.
As of Spring Boot 1.3, we're able to use the EnvironmentPostProcessor to customize the application's Environment before application context is refreshed.
For example, create a class which implements EnvironmentPostProcessor:
public class ReadDbPropertiesPostProcessor implements EnvironmentPostProcessor {
private static final String PROPERTY_SOURCE_NAME = "databaseProperties";
private String[] CONFIGS = {
"app.version"
// list your properties here
};
#Override
public void postProcessEnvironment(ConfigurableEnvironment environment, SpringApplication application) {
Map<String, Object> propertySource = new HashMap<>();
try {
// the following db connections properties must be defined in application.properties
DataSource ds = DataSourceBuilder
.create()
.username(environment.getProperty("spring.datasource.username"))
.password(environment.getProperty("spring.datasource.password"))
.url(environment.getProperty("spring.datasource.url"))
.driverClassName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver")
.build();
try (Connection connection = ds.getConnection();
// suppose you have a config table storing the properties name/value pair
PreparedStatement preparedStatement = connection.prepareStatement("SELECT value FROM config WHERE name = ?")) {
for (int i = 0; i < CONFIGS.length; i++) {
String configName = CONFIGS[i];
preparedStatement.setString(1, configName);
ResultSet rs = preparedStatement.executeQuery();
while (rs.next()) {
propertySource.put(configName, rs.getString("value"));
}
// rs.close();
preparedStatement.clearParameters();
}
}
environment.getPropertySources().addFirst(new MapPropertySource(PROPERTY_SOURCE_NAME, propertySource));
} catch (Throwable e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
}
Finally, don't forget to put your spring.factories in META-INF. An example:
org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.EnableAutoConfiguration=
com.baeldung.environmentpostprocessor.autoconfig.PriceCalculationAutoConfig
Although not having used spring 3, I'd assume you can, if you make a bean that reads the properties from the database and exposes them with getters.
