Is there the notion of an #RequestScope post-refresh hook?
Use Case:
We need to push config changes. Currently, this is manual and fires as a part of the app restart. However, if we can trigger a /bus/refresh, once the Environment gets refreshed, not destroy the bean (an #Service in this case), yet fire some config changes once the new environment value gets updated? Is something like this possible?
The solution I used was to make my #Service implement ApplicationListener and override onApplicationEvent(RefreshRemoteApplicationEvent event). This is already performed in RefreshListener, but my implementation was able to inspect the changed keys and react according to the rules the client setup for the specific key changes.

I have a problem with #TransactionalEventListener.
Given:
Kotlin 1.3.50
Spring Webflux
Spring Data
Hibernate 5
Postgres JDBC (not RDBC!)
What happens:
Request to controller was made.
Service did some job within method marked as #Transactional an event and published event.
Response returned to client
Event listener marked as #Async, #TransactionalEventListener and #Transactional doesn't kick in.
What I did:
I have debugged into service method which publishes an event to find out whether an actual transaction is in progress with the help of some static utility method I don't remember, which told me what I suspected - it is in progress.
Then I enabled debug output to see log saying: No transaction is in progress. Discarding event.
I mean, both publishing and consuming sides do have annotation #Transactional on them. No alterations to default params of annotations were made.
I have found similar situation in this question question but no one answered that.
Also, I have read an article at dzone but there seems to be no mentioning of my case.
Workaround:
I can avoid this by either replacing #TransactionalEventListener to #EventListener (alas, remove transaction bound processing) or by changing param fallbackExecute to true which effectively is the same as first solution.
Suspected parties:
Possibly absence of reactive transaction manager in an webflux environment could be the case? And some weird bug not accounting JpaTransactionManager?
In a Spring Boot application how do you register custom converts to be used when processing application configuration?
I have made a custom convert (org.springframework.core.convert.converter.Converter) so it can be used by the ApplicationConversionService/Binder to parse #ConfiguraitonProperties defined in application.properties and application.yaml configuration files but do not know how to register it.
I have tried the solution here https://stackoverflow.com/a/41205653/45708 but it creates an instance of my converter after the application configuration parameters have been processed.
I ran into this issue myself recently. From what I can tell, the key issue is that binding to configuration properties occurs very early in the Spring startup process, before the Application Context is fully initialized. Therefore the usual methods for registering a converter are not reliable. In fact the ConversionService used for configuration binding appear to be a one-off and not really connected to the ConversionService that is stored in the Application Context.
I was able to get something working but it feels like a hack, as it relies on internal implementation details that may work today but not tomorrow. In any case, this is the code I used:
((ApplicationConversionService) ApplicationConversionService.getSharedInstance()).addConverter(myCustomConverter);
The trick I found was to make sure this gets called as soon as possible at application startup so that it gets called before the configuration binding where it's needed. I put it in a #PostConstruct block inside my main #SpringBootApplication class as this seemed to get invoked early on, at least in my case.
referring to quesition/answer in How to log MDC with Spring Sleuth?
I think this has/will change(d) with spring-cloud 2.0 as there is no SpanLogger or Slf4jSpanLogger anymore (or I don't find it)
Wouldn't it be nice if application properties spring.sleuth.baggage-keys and spring.sleuth.propagation-keys if set would also be put in MDC I think inside Slf4jCurrentTraceContext (as this class is currently final I cannot subclass it)
If not, how could I achieve this with spring-cloud 2.0 accordingly?
We don't want to put all entries in MDC (that really doesn't make a lot of sense). You can however either copy the Slf4jCurrentTraceContext and extend it in the way you want to (and register it as a bean) or maybe create your own implementation of CurrentTraceContext that would wrap the existing CurrentTraceContext via a Bean Post Processor and perform additional logic. I guess the first option is more preferable.
In version 2.1.0, Slf4jScopeDecorator was introduced and it will automatically add baggage values to MDC as long as they are whitelisted in the spring.sleuth.log.slf4j.whitelisted-mdc-keys configuration.
For example, if you have the following configuration:
spring.sleuth.baggage-keys=key1,key2
spring.sleuth.log.slf4j.whitelisted-mdc-keys=key2
Only the value of key2 will be automatically added MDC, but not the value of key1.
For more info, see: https://cloud.spring.io/spring-cloud-sleuth/reference/html/#prefixed-fields
I have develop a new Connector. This connector requires to be configured with two parameters, lets say:
default_trip_timeout_milis
default_trip_threshold
Challenge is, I want read ${myValue_a} and ${myValue_a} from an API, using an HTTP call, not from a file or inline values.
Since this is a connector, I need to make this API call somewhere before connectors are initialized.
FlowVars aren't an option, since they are initialized with the Flows, and this is happening before in the Mule app life Cycle.
My idea is to create an Spring Bean implementing Initialisable, so it will be called before Connectors are init, and here, using any java based libs (Spring RestTemplate?) , call API, get values, and store them somewhere (context? objectStore?) , so the connector can access them.
Make sense? Any other ideas?
Thanks!
mmm you could make a class that will create the properties in the startup and in this class obtain the API properties via http request. Example below:
public class PropertyInit implements InitializingBean,FactoryBean {
private Properties props = new Properties();
#Override
public Object getObject() throws Exception {
return props;
}
#Override
public Class getObjectType() {
return Properties.class;
}
}
Now you should be able to load this property class with:
<context:property-placeholder properties-ref="propertyInit"/>
Hope you like this idea. I used this approach in a previous project.
I want to give you first a strong warning on doing this. If you go down this path then you risk breaking your application in very strange ways because if any other components depend on this component you are having dynamic components on startup, you will break them, and you should think if there are other ways to achieve this behaviour instead of using properties.
That said the way to do this would be to use a proxy pattern, which is a proxy for the component you recreate whenever its properties are changed. So you will need to create a class which extends Circuit Breaker, which encapsulates and instance of Circuit Breaker which is recreated whenever its properties change. These properties must not be used outside of the proxy class as other components may read these properties at startup and then not refresh, you must keep this in mind that anything which might directly or indirectly access these properties cannot do so in their initialisation phase or your application will break.
It's worth taking a look at SpringCloudConfig which allows for you to have a properties server and then all your applications can hot-reload those properties at runtime when they change. Not sure if you can take that path in Mule if SpringCloud is supported yet but it's a nice thing to know exists.
I am using Struts 2 v 2.3.16.3 with tomcat 6.
A user will click on an action which finds an object by id and the page displays it. I have encountered a sporadic bug where the user will all of a sudden get the id of another lookup from another user on another machine. So effectively they are both calling the same action but passing different id to the request, but both end up viewing the same id.
This is obviously disastrous, and the data is totally corrupted as both users think they are editing a different record. Any ideas how make sure session/request activity is kept secure to each session?
I am also using spring and am using the #Transactional annotation in my Service layer, which returns the objects from the DAO. Is there something I need to do with this annotation to make it secure for each session ?
I am using org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.HibernateTransactionManager
Classic Thread-UnSafe problem.
Since you nominated Spring, my first guess is that you have not specified the right scope for your action beans in Spring xml configuration.
Be sure you are using scope="prototype" because otherwise the default scope of Spring is Singleton, and you don't want a single(ton) instance of an Action, that would not be ThreadLocal (and hence ThreadSafe) anymore.
If it is not that, it could be something on an Interceptor (that, differently from an action, is not Thread Safe), or you are using something static (in your Business / DAO layer, or in the Action itself) that should be not.
