How to integrate Atmosphere with Spring and Jersey? - spring

Currently I have a Jersey-Spring application with the following configuration.
<servlet>
<description>JAX-RS Tools Generated - Do not modify</description>
<servlet-name>JAX-RS Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>com.sun.jersey.spi.spring.container.servlet.SpringServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>javax.ws.rs.Application</param-name>
<param-value>com.company.sample.WebServiceApplication</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>com.sun.jersey.spi.container.ContainerRequestFilters</param-name>
<param-value>com.sun.jersey.api.container.filter.PostReplaceFilter</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
Now, I need to add some Atmosphere Comet capabilities into the scene. How can I achieve this? Atmosphere's docs explain how to integrate Atmosphere with Jersey or Atmosphere with Spring MVC (thus Spring), but how to integrate the three, Jersey+Spring+Atmosphere?

Difference between "dispatcherServlet" and "appServlet" in spring MVC

Difference between "dispatcherServlet" and "appServlet" in spring MVC. Can I get any samples or references?
Technically both are HttpServlet implementation to handle incoming requests. DispatcherServlet is Spring provided servlet implemenation having all essential features like exception handling ..
You have to just write your Request mappers ,it will handle all request.
AppServlet is nothing different, just your implementation for specific handling of requests.
Both will work in same way .If you dont have any specific handling than you can just go with Spring DispatcherServlet.
For example..
<servlet>
<servlet-name>DispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
<!-- Custom Servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>CustomServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.abc.CustomServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>any-other-Parameter</param-name>
<param-value>false</param-value>
</init-param>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>DispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>/myapp/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>CustomServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/myapp2/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
For reference of DispatcherServlet you can see http://www.mkyong.com/spring-mvc/spring-mvc-hello-world-example/
to understand this, you can have a look on below configuration :
<servlet>
<servlet-name>appServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/servlet-context.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
In above configuration DispatcherServlet is the servlet class provided by spring framework.
The job of the DispatcherServlet is to take an incoming URI and find the
right combination of handlers (generally methods on Controller classes)
and views (generally JSPs) that combine to form the page or resource
that's supposed to be found at that location.
while appServlet is the custom name given by you in your web.xml file.

Spring mvc configuration to integrate with a custom SSO authentication

I'm failing to integrate an existing custom Single-sign-on service (for the authentication of my spring mvc application -aka. myApp-).
Once I map the spring DispatcherServlet to "/", myApp skips the authentication process against the SSO application, no matter if there's session or not.
Web.xml (Spring Configuration)
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- Spring MVC DispatcherServlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
Here is the configuration that I need to integrate in myApp web.xml, to integrate the SSO authentication:
Web.xml (Custom SSO Configuration)
<filter>
<filter-name>SSOAuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>custom.sso.SSOAuthenticationFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>SSOAuthenticationFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/WEB-INF/views/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
<!-- Context Params -->
<context-param>
<param-name>myAppId</param-name>
<param-value>65asd5a4sd65asd65a4sd65asd4</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>loginPath</param-name>
<param-value>login.jsp</param-value>
</context-param>
<context-param>
<param-name>ssoAppPath</param-name>
<param-value>http://localhost:8080/SSO_AuthenticationApp</param-value>
</context-param>
<!-- SSO Login Servlet -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SSOloginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>custom.sso.SSOLoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SSOloginServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<!-- SSO properties (myAppId, ssoAppPath, loginPath) -->
<listener>
<listener-class>custom.sso.SSOPropertiesRetriever</listener-class>
</listener>
How can I configurate spring to let the SSO servlet to do the authentication process?
I was thinking if there's a way of declaring the customSSO servlet as a bean in the spring dispatcher-servlet-config.xml?
Or maybe implementing it in a #Controller?
(My hands are tied about the sso, I'm forced to use it for the authentication, cause myApp will be just another in a family of applications login through this custom sso... I would prefer to use spring security instead).
Thanks.
EDITED:
I finally opted for a migration to Spring Boot, seems way more clear to configure a project that way.
For the filter you can use a SpringFilter and implement the logic in a bean:
<filter>
<filter-name>springFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>org.springframework.web.filter.DelegatingFilterProxy</filter-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>targetBeanName</param-name>
<param-value>authenticationFilter</param-value>
</init-param>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>springFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/some-url</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
For the servlet I guess you may have to change your mappings to something that looks like the following:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>loginServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>my.package.LoginServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>loginServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/login</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/mvc-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcherServlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/app/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Here I'm assuming that everything goes in the same WEB.xml file

Location of groovy based bean definition configuration in a Spring MVC application

I have seen that Spring 4 has a feature to define / having a groovy file for bean definitions instead of an XML file. I already have a Spring MVC application with mvc-dispatcher-servlet.xml for my bean definitions. But I want to go with Groovy based bean definition for my Spring MVC application. But, I am not sure where to place the groovy file and where do I need to refer it/ configure it to Load the bean definitions properly. Can somebody help or provide refrence?
use the GroovyWebApplicationContext ,
Web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>mvc-dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>
org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet
</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextClass</param-name>
<param-value>
org.springframework.web.context.support.GroovyWebApplicationContext
</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:/spring/dispatcherServlet.groovy</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
this is not a full example, but it is a good start

How to make Spring MVC and plain JSP live together in one application

Say I have a Spring MVC application with JPA as backend. Now here we want to provide simple UI to user to perform simple configuration to some properties file. It would make sense to make it separate from the main Spring application because some configuration is related to Spring MVC so it will fail when start the main application by the main UI through Spring MVC.
But how to register both servlet(Spring and plain JSP)in the same web application?
<!-- Handles Spring requests -->
<servlet>
<servlet-name>SpringApplication</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/spring/mvc-config.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>SpringApplication</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>PlainJSPApplication</servlet-name> <!--Is it ok to separate request to different servlet like this?-->
<servlet-class>com.app.plainJSP</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>PlainJSPApplication</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/config</url-pattern> <!--How to handle mapping so not conflict to Spring main application-->
</servlet-mapping>
I think it is common to register another servlet class to in the SAME web.xml, is it OK? and also how to handle that request URL pattern, as "/" has been assign to Spring servlet?
Any advice would be appreciated.
You can separate Spring managed controllers and your own servlet by mapping both with different url patterns.
The requests for Spring controllers are managed by DispatcherServlet. Basically, it is just a Servlet that, when you map urls to it, it will automatically be seen by Spring, thus mapping it to the right controller, views etc.
web.xml
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.do</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
<servlet>
<servlet-name>PlainJSPApplication</servlet-name> <!--Is it ok to separate request to different servlet like this?-->
<servlet-class>com.app.plainJSP</servlet-class>
<load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>PlainJSPApplication</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>*.htm</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.html</url-pattern>
<url-pattern>*.bmk</url-pattern>
<!-- other url pattern ... -->
<!-- other url pattern ... -->
<!-- other url pattern ... -->
</servlet-mapping>
Here, all the requests end with .do will be seen by Spring. Others will then be seen by your servlets.
So, as long as you don't harm this mapping, Spring MVC & your normal servlets will integrate gracefully.

DWR File Upload Size Limit

I did plenty of research on DWR (www.directwebremoting.org) to understand how the 'fileUploadMaxBytes' initialization parameter can be used to limit file upload sizes without success.
Here is what I have in my web.xml:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dwr</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>classpath:dwr-servlet.xml</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>fileUploadMaxBytes</param-name>
<param-value>5000</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
You will not that I am not overriding the default FileUpload implementations and according to the DWR site: (http://directwebremoting.org/dwr/documentation/server/configuration/dwrxml/converters/file.html), this is all I need to do.
I would appreciate any help.
I don't think you have the right configuration. Here is my configuration that works fine:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>dwr</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.directwebremoting.spring.DwrSpringServlet</servlet-class>
<init-param>
<param-name>debug</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>allowScriptTagRemoting</param-name>
<param-value>true</param-value>
</init-param>
<init-param>
<param-name>fileUploadMaxBytes</param-name>
<param-value>5242880</param-value>
</init-param>
</servlet>
Note that I have the configuration under DwrSpringServlet. However, if you are using Spring framework MVC + DWR annotations...then you are on the same boat as me. Have a look at this qustion I posted just now
fileUploadMaxBytes for DWR + MVC annotation
