Spring + Hibernate Search dynamic configuraion - spring

I'm currently trying to configure hibernate search via spring across 3 machines for the purpose of using a JMS distributed index. Due to the way we deploy our software I have to use the same configuration across all three machines but I need a way to set one of them to be the JMS Master.
Currently hibernate is being configured via Spring using the following bean declaration:
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate3.annotation.AnnotationSessionFactoryBean"
id="productSessionFactory">
<property name="dataSource">
<ref local="productDataSource"/>
</property>
<property name="configLocation">
<value>classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml</value>
</property>
<property name="entityInterceptor" ref="builderInterceptor"/>
<property name="eventListeners">
<map key-type="java.lang.String" value-type="java.lang.Object">
<entry key="save" value-ref="saveEventListener"/>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
On one of the three machines I need to set the property hibernate.search.default.directory_provider to filesystem-master and on the other two I need to set it to filesystem-slave.
I have the ability to set flags on the individual machines to identify which machine should be the master but due to all the configuration being XML I dont have any ability to add logic to set the parameters correctly.
Is there an way to set this parameter programmatically while leaving the rest of the configuration alone?
Thanks!

A programmatic way is generally possible, but I am not sure exactly how you do that in Spring. Instead of putting your properties into a config file you would have to build the properties dynamically (or at least partly dynamically) and pass it to AnnotationSessionFactoryBean. If I am not mistaken there are hooks in the Spring SPI which should allow you to do that, eg BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor.
The other approach would be to write your own DirectoryProvider. Have a look at org.hibernate.search.store.impl.FSMasterDirectoryProvider and org.hibernate.search.store.impl.FSSlaveDirectoryProvider and write a provider which can act as slave or master depending on the flag you can read on the machine.

Spring Cloud AWS: optional cache manager

Spring cache configuration allows to fall back to no cache using CompositeCacheManager with fallbackToNoOpCache property set to true. How could this be used with spring-cloud-aws cache manager so that, when a non-existing cache cluster is specified, the composite cache manager falls back to no cache? With an example configuration like this:
<aws-cache:cache-manager>
<aws-cache:cache-cluster name="CacheCluster" />
</aws-cache:cache-manager>
the application just won't start when there's no cluster named CacheCluster configured. When a CompositeCacheManager is configured like this:
<aws-cache:cache-manager id="elasticacheManager">
<aws-cache:cache-cluster name="CacheCluster" />
</aws-cache:cache-manager>
<bean id="cacheManager" class="org.springframework.cache.support.CompositeCacheManager">
<property name="cacheManagers">
<list>
<ref bean="elasticacheManager" />
</list>
</property>
<property name="fallbackToNoOpCache" value="true"/>
</bean>
with a non-existing cache CacheCluster, then the application fails to start up complaining: "No bean named 'elasticacheManager' is defined".
Is there a way to create an AWS cache manager programmatically and use something like a FactoryBean for this?
Currently Spring Cloud AWS does not support the configuration of a fallback cache. I will add it to our backlog as a feature request. In the meantime you could use the same workaround I did in the reference application using spring profiles (see ReferenceApplication.java).

how to connect multiple redis instances through spring data redis?

I am trying to connect multiple redis instances via spring. But I did not find any documentation.
Here is how I am using it currently. I am using Jedis as the client and I plan on using Jedis only as I might require support for sentinel.
<bean id="jedisConnFactory"
class="org.springframework.data.redis.connection.jedis.JedisConnectionFactory">
<property name ="hostName" value ="localhost"/>
<property name="port" value="6379" />
</bean>
<bean id="stringRedisSerializer"
class="org.springframework.data.redis.serializer.StringRedisSerializer" />
<!-- redis template definition -->
<bean id="redisTemplate" class="org.springframework.data.redis.core.RedisTemplate"
p:connection-factory-ref="jedisConnFactory"
p:keySerializer-ref="stringRedisSerializer"
p:hashKeySerializer-ref="stringRedisSerializer"
p:ValueSerializer-ref="stringRedisSerializer" />
I want to add multiple redis instances to the connection pool. Like..
<property name ="hosts" value ="localhost:6379,localhost:6380"/>
After researching , I found, there is no support for client side partitioning currently in spring-data-redis.
In future the partitioning technique in redis shall move to redis-cluster permanently.
At present, To use partition along with spring-data-redis, the best way is to use twemproxy and point JedisConnectionFactory host and port to twemproxy.
In case you're looking for support of JedisSentinelPool then have a look at does-spring-data-redis-1-3-2-release-support-jedissentinelpool-of-jedis.

What is the difference : BasicDataSource and JOnASDataBaseManagerService

We have a web site using spring.
I found in the code 2 ways of connecting to the oracle database, both use a bean called phareDataSource :
1st method :
<bean id="phareDataSource"
class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClassName"
value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />
<property name="url"
value="${hibernate.connection.url}" />
<property name="username" value="${hibernate.connection.username}" />
<property name="password" value="${hibernate.connection.password}" />
</bean>
and 2nd method :
<bean id="phareDataSource"
class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiName">
<value>jdbc/PHARE</value>
</property>
</bean>
In Jonas Directory : jonas.properties
jonas.service.dbm.class org.ow2.jonas.dbm.internal.JOnASDataBaseManagerService
jonas.service.dbm.datasources PHARERH
PHARERH.properties :
datasource.name jdbc/PHARE
datasource.url jdbc\:oracle\:thin\:#blabla\:1521\:R59A001
datasource.classname oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver
datasource.username bla
datasource.password bla
The first method or the second one is picked when we are building (maven active profile).
The first uses a simple configuration file, the second uses a configuration file located in jonas conf directory.
Since we use tomcat in our dev environment, we picked the first method.
But in our int and prod environment with Jonas installed, shouldn't we use the second method ?
Is it better in performance ?
Both will use a JDBC connection pool to manage your connections so I would not expect there to be a major difference in performance.
Method 1 doesn't use any of the JOnAS features to create or manage the JDBC connections + pool. The same configuration will work outside of the application server. This is useful for testing without the requirement to deploy to the application server.
Method 2 will use the JDBC connection pool configured and managed by JOnAS (the application server).
Typically, if you have made the decision to go with an application container (e.g. JOnAS, JBoss, Websphere, etc) it is usually a good idea to let the container manage the resources that you use. That's what they are designed to do, and you may require some of the advanced features for managing the configured resources. There is also the benefit that your application doesn't have to know what implementation/driver is being used (or username/password, so you can deploy your EAR/WAR to different application servers without having to change your application configuration. These details are configured in the server instance instead.
If using Method 1 inside an application server, the server will have no control over the threads being created, because it knows nothing about them.

Multi-tenant webapp using Spring MVC and Hibernate 4.2.0.Final

I have developed a small webapp using and SpringMVC(3.1.3.RELEASE) and Hibernate 4.2.0.Final.
I'm trying to convert it to be a multi-tenant application.
Similar topics have been covered in other threads, but I couldn't find a definitive solution to my problem.
What I am trying to achieve is to design a web app which is able to:
Read a datasource configuration at startup (an XML file containing multiple datasource definitions, which is placed outside the WAR file and it's not the application-context or hibernate configuration file)
Create a session factory for each one of them (considering that each datasource is a database with a different schema).
How can i set my session factory scope as session? ( OR Can i reuse the same session factory ?) .
Example:
Url for client a - URL: http://project.com/a/login.html
Url for client b - URL: http://project.com/b/login.html
If client "a" make request,read the datasource configuration file and Create a session factory using that XML file for the client "a".
This same process will be repeating if the client "b" will send a request.
What I am looking, how to implement datasource creation upon customer subscription without editing the Spring configuration file. It needs to be automated.
Here is my code ,that i have done so far.
Please anyone tell me,What modifications i need to be made?
Please give an answer with some example code..I am quite new in spring and hibernate world.
Spring.xml
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
destroy-method="close" p:driverClassName="${jdbc.driverClassName}"
p:url="${jdbc.databaseurl}"
p:username="${jdbc.username}" p:password="${jdbc.password}" />
<bean id="sessionFactory"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSource" />
<property name="configLocation">
<value>classpath:hibernate.cfg.xml</value>
</property>
<property name="hibernateProperties">
<props>
<prop key="hibernate.dialect">${jdbc.dialect}</prop>
<prop key="hibernate.show_sql">true</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="transactionManager"
class="org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name="sessionFactory" ref="sessionFactory" />
JDBC.properties File
jdbc.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.dialect=org.hibernate.dialect.MySQLDialect
jdbc.databaseurl=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/Logistics
jdbc.username=root
jdbc.password=rot#pspl#12

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Thanks,
First create a table for Tenant with tenant_id and associate it with all users.Now, you can fetch this details while the user logs in and set it in session.
We are using AbstractRoutingDataSource to switch DataSource for every request on Spring Boot. I think it is Hot Swapable targets/datasource mentioned by #bhantol above.
It solves our problems but I don't think it is sound solution. I guess JNDI could be a better one than AbstractRoutingDataSource.
Wondering what you ended up with.
Here are some ideas for you.
Option 1) Single Application Instance.
It is somewhat ambitious to to this using what you are actually trying to achieve.
The gist is to simply deploy the same exact application with different context root on the same JVM. You can still tune the JVM as a whole like you would have if you had a truely multi-tenant application. But this comes at the expense of duplication of classes, contexts, local caching, start up times etc.
But as of today the Spring Framework 4.0 does not provide much of an multi-tenancy support (other than Hot Swapable targets/datasource) etc. I am looking for a good framework but it may be a wash to move away from Spring at this time for me.
Option 2) Multiple deployments of same application (more practical as of today)
Just have your same exact application deploy to the same application server JVM instance or even different.
If you use the same instance you may now need to bootstrap your app to pickup a DataSource based on what the instance should serve e.g. client=a property would be enough to pickup a **a**DataSource" or **b**DataSource I myself ended up going this approach.
If you have a different application server instance you could just configure a different JNDI path and treat things generically. No need for client="a" property because you have liberty to define your datasource differently with the same name.

Good example of Spring Configuration using java.util.prefs or Commons Configuration

One application I'm working on has several URLs and other information that is instance specific. The first pass uses a typical Spring PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer with a properties file:
<bean id="propertyConfigurer" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="classpath:application.properties"/>
</bean>
The main issue with this is of course the property file is an artifact that must be checked in, and for starting a new instance would require updating that artifact. For a streamline deployment, I would like to have the ApplicationContext bootstrap itself based on database table(s). I have seen solutions like this forum post, does anyone here know of better tools or is this defacto approach to this problem? I would also like to be able to update/reload the settings at runtime using JMX or other facilities, but having to restart the app after changes to the database would still be a better solution to the current one.
The way we did it was to put some configuration information in the environment and then pull the relevant info from there.
<bean class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.PropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="searchSystemEnvironment" value="true" />
</bean>
If configuration changes then the app will need to be restarted. Can also put all the different configurations into the environment and nest the variables like the following:
<bean id="db" class="org.DataSource"
p:databaseServer="${${MODE}_DBSERVER}"
p:databaseName="${${MODE}_DBNAME}" />
where $MODE = dev, qa, etc.
