Flyway Spring JPA2 integration - possible to keep schema validation? - spring

Hy, i have a webapplication where i am trying to integrate JPA2(Hibernate)+Spring+Flyway
I added flyway to my ApplicationContext like this:
<bean id="flyway" class="org.flywaydb.core.Flyway" init-method="migrate">
<property name="baselineOnMigrate" value="true" />
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
</bean>
Theoretically this works fine and updates the schema with scripts that i save under db/migration. So far so good.
The one problem that is left for me is that if i change something (e.g. adding a String field to an Entity) the application won't even get this far because Hibernates Schema-Validator will throw something like this: Caused by: org.hibernate.HibernateException: Missing column: showCaseField in demo.testEntity. This happens because i have set "hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto" to "validate"
Now i have read about Hibernate failing to recognize perfeclty valid schemas in some (rare?) cases and i MAY (or not) reach a point someday where i disable this feature altogether. But as of now i actually like the extra-validation and don't want to turn it off.
Is it possible to integrate Spring and Flyway while still keeping Hibernates-Schema-Validation? I guess this could be a problem, because Flyway probably depends on a DataSource-bean or something and in conclusion requires the applicationContext to be completely initialized, which in turn Hibernate prevents because of the schema mismatch..
Any ideas?

Found the answer now. Basically all you have to do is letting your entityManagerFactory-bean depend on your Flyway bean (there's an attribute for that). Now Flyway (and in turn your dataSource) is initialized first and the Flyway-Scripts are executed before Hibernates schema-validation
<bean id="entityManagerFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean"
depends-on="flyway"> ....
</bean>
<bean id="flyway" class="org.flywaydb.core.Flyway" init-method="migrate">
<property name="baselineOnMigrate" value="true"/>
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
</bean>

hibernate annotatedClasses in external file

I'm using spring + hibernate in my application.
I need to map the entities that are annoted by hibernate annotations.
I have this configuartion.
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>com.example.repositoryComment.Model1</value>
<value>com.example.repositoryControlUpload.Model2</value>
<value>com.example.repositoryCycleTicketSummary.Model3</value>
</list>
</property>
I'd like that the entities configuration stay in another file.
Exemplo:
<bean id="sessionFactory" class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
filesThatContainsModels
</list>
</property>
This classes (Model1, Model2, Model3) are annoted by hibernate.
I don't use packagesToScan, because my warmup need to be fast.
There is way for configuration only the class that annoted, but not using packagesToScan?
Thanks
One option at build-time would be to take advantage of annotation processing.
Basically a custom annotation processor will scan your source files at build time and generate a list of all files found to be annotated with #Entity. It takes this list of classes along with an external property file that describes your static SessionFactory configuration and it generates your spring XML file as applicationContext-persistence.xml.
You then just make sure your main applicationContext.xml imports that file for runtime.
Another alternative would actually to use the packagesToScan property. But rather than do what a lot of developers do and point it to the root package of your application, provide the property with a more restrictive list of packages that represent exactly where it should look, helping it avoid inspecting unnecessary classes. For example:
<property name="packagesToScan">
<array>
<value>com.company.application.feature1.persistence</value>
<value>com.company.application.feature2.persistence</value>
...
</array>
</property>
But I honestly think you're over optimizing. If you have this type of bootstrap performance issues, there has to be something else going wrong here to give you cause for concern.
I have worked on a monolithic application with tens of thousands of class files where the scan pointed to the package root of the application and it didn't take any more than a few seconds to bootstrap the Hibernate persistence classes.

Strange error occured in shiro doGetAuthorizationInfo method

I am encountered with a strange error for a few days,and still in puzzled,details are below:
I'm using apache shiro with spring,
after some work,I got ready to setup "doGetAuthorizationInfo" method,because I'm using "#RequiresRoles" in my controller,
I found if I invoke XXXService(or any service) more than once,the exception occur(first time invoke XXXService,everything work fine),so,I'm try to test "doGetAuthenticationInfo" in same Realm which used for login,I invoked XXXService or other services several times in the method,it works fine,
and I also tried to change different datasource component,
so I think it's not datasource component bug,
I didn't find the reason.
When I was using dbcp datasource,exception like below:
com.mysql.jdbc.exceptions.jdbc4.MySQLNonTransientConnectionException: No operations allowed after connection closed.
No others are causing exception.
Any other place didn't found this problem.
Thanks for any help.
Through the efforts more than one day,I find something,
I was using dataSourceProxy:
<bean id="dataSourceProxy"
class="org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.TransactionAwareDataSourceProxy">
<property name="targetDataSource" ref="dataSource" />
</bean>
<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSourceProxy" />
...
</bean>
When I change to ref original datasource bean for entityManagerFactory:
<bean id="entityManagerFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
...
</bean>
The error disappear.

best approach for setting hibernate/spring project

I have a project with spring and hibernate in GWT,
I am using below applicationcontext.xml,
I was just looking for some best approach of making this file
like all the annotated classes below i.e entity.user, entity.secretQuestion and many more , they all get called when my application runs even if i don't need them , which i guess makes my application quite slow,
so is it possible that only the class which i am calling is getting load in applicationcontext.xml and if yes then would it be a better approach as well ?
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="annotatedClasses">
<list>
<value>com.cricsite.persistence.entity.User</value>
<value>com.cricsite.persistence.entity.SecretQuestion</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id ="ManagerAdmin" class= "com.persistence.MySQLRdbHelper">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
</bean>

What is the issue with the following configuration? will having the same DAO at the different levels cause concurency issues?
We found that we get lots of weblogic connection releases when we have high load.
How is this related to the connection release issue?
We use Hibernate for DAO operations.
First, analyse the logs to see when spring creates and closes transactions.
Set the logger for org.springframework.transaction to DEBUG for this.
Next my guess is you need to examine your #Transactional annotations (which I assume you use on your managers (=services?). Make sure the propagation is set correctly because this might be related to your issue (hard to say without seeing your manager's code of course).
To answer your question directly:
What is the issue with the following configuration? will having the same DAO at the different levels cause concurency issues?
Nothing, and no. I don't see anything wrong with this. Not sure what you mean about 'same DAO' - you don't have the same DAO. You have the same parent, but 3 distinct DAOs.
If you're asking, then, why is weblogic closing your DB connections before your transaction completes, we wouldn't be able to answer that with the information above.

spring transactional cpool. Which one do I use?

I originally set up spring with xapool, but it turns out that's a dead project and seems to have lots of problems.
I switched to c3p0, but now I learn that the #Transactional annotations don't actually create transactions when used with c3p0. If I do the following it will insert the row into Foo even through an exception was thrown inside the method:
#Service
public class FooTst
{
#PersistenceContext(unitName="accessControlDb") private EntityManager em;
#Transactional
public void insertFoo() {
em.createNativeQuery("INSERT INTO Foo (id) VALUES (:id)")
.setParameter("id", System.currentTimeMillis() % Integer.MAX_VALUE )
.executeUpdate();
throw new RuntimeException("Foo");
}
}
This is strange because if I comment out the #Transactional annotation it will actually fail and complain about having a transaction set to rollback only:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot get Transaction for setRollbackOnly

So, clearly it notices the #Transactional annotation. But, it doesn't actually set autocommit to off at the start of the method.
Here is how I have transactional stuff setup up in the applicationContext.xml. Is this correct? If not, what is this supposed to be?
<bean id="jotm" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JotmFactoryBean"/>
<bean id="txManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="jotm"/>
<property name="userTransaction" ref="jotm"/>
<property name="allowCustomIsolationLevels" value="true"/>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="txManager" proxy-target-class="false"/>
After a bunch of searching I found a connection pool called Bitronix, but their spring setup page describes stuff about JMS which doesn't even make any sense. What does JMS have to do with setting up a connection pool?
So I'm stuck. What am I actually supposed to do? I don't understand why the connection pool needs to support transactions. All connections support turning autocommit on and off, so I have no idea what the problem is here.
It took a lot of searching and experimentation, but I finally got things working. Here are my results:
enhydra xapool is a terrible connection pool. I won't enumerate the problems it caused because it doesn't matter. The latest version of that pool hasn't been updated since Dec 2006. It's a dead project.
I put c3p0 into my application context and got it working fairly easily. But, for some reason it just doesn't seem to support rollback even inside a single method. If I mark a method as #Transactional then do an insert into a table and then throw a RuntimeException (one that's definitely not declared in the throws list of the method because there is no throws list on the method) it will still keep the insert into that table. It will not roll back.
I was going to try Apache DBCP, but my searching turned up lots of complaints about it, so I didn't bother.
I tried Bitronix and had plenty of trouble getting it to work properly under Tomcat, but once I figured out the magic configuration it works beautifully. What follows is all the things you need to do to set it up properly.
I dabbled briefly with the Atomkos connection pool. It looks like it should be good, but I got Bitronix working first, so I didn't try using it much.
The configuration below works in standalone unit tests and under Tomcat. That was the major problem I had. Most of the examples I found about how to set up Spring with Bitronix assume that I'm using JBoss or some other full container.
The first bit of configuration is the part that sets up the Bitronix transaction manager.
<!-- Bitronix transaction manager -->
<bean id="btmConfig" factory-method="getConfiguration" class="bitronix.tm.TransactionManagerServices">
<property name="disableJmx" value="true" />
</bean>
<bean id="btmManager" factory-method="getTransactionManager" class="bitronix.tm.TransactionManagerServices" depends-on="btmConfig" destroy-method="shutdown"/>
<bean id="transactionManager" class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager">
<property name="transactionManager" ref="btmManager" />
<property name="userTransaction" ref="btmManager" />
<property name="allowCustomIsolationLevels" value="true" />
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager" />
The major difference between that code and the examples I found is the "disableJmx" property. It throws exceptions at runtime if you don't use JMX but leave it enabled.
The next bit of configuration is the connection pool data source. Note that the connection pool classname is not the normal oracle class "oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver". It's an XA data source. I don't know what the equivalent class would be in other databases.
<bean id="dataSource" class="bitronix.tm.resource.jdbc.PoolingDataSource" init-method="init" destroy-method="close">
<property name="uniqueName" value="dataSource-BTM" />
<property name="minPoolSize" value="1" />
<property name="maxPoolSize" value="4" />
<property name="testQuery" value="SELECT 1 FROM dual" />
<property name="driverProperties"><props>
<prop key="URL">${jdbc.url}</prop>
<prop key="user">${jdbc.username}</prop>
<prop key="password">${jdbc.password}</prop>
</props></property>
<property name="className" value="oracle.jdbc.xa.client.OracleXADataSource" />
<property name="allowLocalTransactions" value="true" />
</bean>
Note also that the uniqueName needs to be different than any other data sources you have configured.
The testQuery of course needs to be specific to the database that you are using. The driver properties are specific to the database class that I'm using. OracleXADataSource for some silly reason has different setter names for OracleDriver for the same value.
The allowLocalTransactions had to be set to true for me. I found recommendations NOT to set it to true online. But, that seems to be impossible. It just won't work if it's set to false. I am not sufficiently knowledgeable about these things to know why that is.
Lastly we need to configure the entity manager factory.
<util:map id="jpa_property_map">
<entry key="hibernate.transaction.manager_lookup_class" value="org.hibernate.transaction.BTMTransactionManagerLookup"/>
<entry key="hibernate.current_session_context_class" value="jta"/>
</util:map>
<bean id="dataSource-emf" name="accessControlDb" class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource"/>
<property name="persistenceXmlLocation" value="classpath*:META-INF/foo-persistence.xml" />
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter">
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaVendorAdapter">
<property name="showSql" value="true"/>
<property name="databasePlatform" value="org.hibernate.dialect.Oracle10gDialect"/>
</bean>
</property>
<property name="jpaPropertyMap" ref="jpa_property_map"/>
<property name="jpaDialect"><bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.vendor.HibernateJpaDialect"/></property>
</bean>
Note the dataSource property refers to the id of the dataSource I declared. The persistenceXmlLocation refers to a persistence xml file that exists in the classpath somewhere. The classpath*: indicates it may be in any jar. Without the * it won't find it if it's in a jar for some reason.
I found util:map to be a handy way to put the jpaPropertyMap values in one place so that I don't need to repeat them when I use multiple entity manager factories in one application context.
Note that the util:map above won't work unless you include the proper settings in the outer beans element. Here is the header of the xml file that I use:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:p="http://www.springframework.org/schema/p"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"

http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx
http://www.springframework.org/schema/tx/spring-tx-2.5.xsd http://www.springframework.org/schema/util http://www.springframework.org/schema/util/spring-util.xsd">
Lastly, in order for Bitronix (or apparently any cpool which supports two phase commit) to work with Oracle you need to run the following grants as user SYS. (See http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.express.doc/info/exp/ae/rtrb_dsaccess2.html and http://docs.codehaus.org/display/BTM/FAQ and http://docs.codehaus.org/display/BTM/JdbcXaSupportEvaluation#JdbcXaSupportEvaluation-Oracle)
grant select on pending_trans$ to <someUsername>;
grant select on dba_2pc_pending to <someUsername>;
grant select on dba_pending_transactions to <someUsername>;
grant execute on dbms_system to <someUsername>;
Those grants need to be run for any user that a connection pool is set up for regardless of whether you actually do any modifying of anything. It apparently looks for those tables when a connection is established.
A few other misc issues:
You can't query tables which are remote synonyms in Oracle while inside a Spring #Transactional block while using Bitronix (you'll get an ORA-24777). Use materialized views or a separate EntityManager which directly points at the other DB instead.
For some reason the btmConfig in the applicationContext.xml has problems setting config values. Instead create a bitronix-default-config.properties file. The config values you can use are found at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/BTM/Configuration13 . Some other config info for that file is at http://docs.codehaus.org/display/BTM/JdbcConfiguration13 but I haven't used it.
Bitronix uses some local files to store transactional stuff. I don't know why, but I do know that if you have multiple webapps with local connection pools you will have problems because they will both try to access the same files. To fix this specify different values for bitronix.tm.journal.disk.logPart1Filename and bitronix.tm.journal.disk.logPart2Filename in the bitronix-default-config.properties for each app.
Bitronix javadocs are at http://www.bitronix.be/uploads/api/index.html .
That's pretty much it. It's very fiddly to get it to work, but it's working now and I'm happy. I hope that all this helps others who are going through the same troubles I did to get this all to work.
When I do connection pooling I tend to use the one provided by the app server I'm deploying on. It's just a JNDI name to Spring at that point.
Since I don't want to worry about an app server when I'm testing, I use a DriverManagerDataSource and its associated transaction manager when I'm unit testing. I'm not as concerned about pooling or performance when testing. I do want the tests to run efficiently, but pooling isn't a deal breaker in that case.
