Spring AOP and apache shiro configuration.Annotations not been scanned - spring

I've been struggling with a configuration which requires a knowledge in AOP.
i must admit that AOP is that part i'm trying to get for a while without success.
It seems that my shiro annotations are not scanned and thus are ignored.
i've tried using shiro 1.1.0+ maven3+spring 3.0.5.RELEASE, hibernate 3.6.1.Final with ZK 5.0.6.
i got my hibernaterealm working , talking to database, i got the authentication working, i successfully(i believe) get the roles and permission loaded.
so to test the authorization side i have somewhere in my code this :
Subject currentUser = SecurityUtils.getSubject();
if (!currentUser.isPermitted("businessaccount:list")) {
throw new AuthorizationException("User not authorized");
}
and it works fine.
So i know my permissions were loaded.i'll be convenient for me using annotations to i've put it in implementation class, because i didn't plan on using interface at first place with my controller classes which are extending ZK GenericForwardController.
i've seen this bug and i've decided to do a try with one interface with the #RequiresPersmissions on methods.
apparently it's still not working as in it's giving access to unauthorized subject.there is no error in my log.Maybe i'm doing something wrong here are snippet of the codes:
#Component("layouteventhandler")
public class LayoutEventHandlerImpl extends GenericForwardComposer implements LayoutEventHandler {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(LayoutEventHandlerImpl.class);
Menuitem logout;
//...
#Override
public void onClick$pAccounts() {
try {
execution.sendRedirect("/accounts/personal/list");
} catch (Exception ex) {
logger.info("Error redirecting to personal accounts", ex);
}
}
#Override
public void onClick$bAccounts() {
try {
execution.sendRedirect("/accounts/business/list");
} catch (Exception ex) {
logger.info("Error redirecting to business accounts", ex);
}
}
//.....
}
its interface it :
public interface LayoutEventHandler {
#RequiresPermissions(value="personalaccount:list")
public void onClick$pAccounts();
#RequiresPermissions(value="businessaccount:list")
public void onClick$bAccounts();
//.....
}
here is my shiro applicationcontext
<bean id="hibernateRealm" class="com.personal.project.admin.webapp.security.DatabaseRealm" />
<bean id="securityManager" class="org.apache.shiro.web.mgt.DefaultWebSecurityManager">
<property name="realm" ref="hibernateRealm" />
</bean>
<bean id="lifecycleBeanPostProcessor" class="org.apache.shiro.spring.LifecycleBeanPostProcessor" />
<bean class="org.springframework.aop.framework.autoproxy.DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator"
depends-on="lifecycleBeanPostProcessor">
<!-- <property name="proxyTargetClass" value="true" />-->
</bean>
<bean class="org.apache.shiro.spring.security.interceptor.AuthorizationAttributeSourceAdvisor">
<property name="securityManager" ref="securityManager"/>
</bean>
<!-- Secure Spring remoting: Ensure any Spring Remoting method invocations can be associated
with a Subject for security checks. -->
<bean id="secureRemoteInvocationExecutor" class="org.apache.shiro.spring.remoting.SecureRemoteInvocationExecutor">
<property name="securityManager" ref="securityManager"/>
</bean>
<!-- ... -->
is it in there something that i should do? thanks for reading and helping out

I don't know Shiro, but I'm guessing that you've put annotations on your bean classes which implement interfaces and then you're proxying them for security, transactions, and/or something else. When that happens, the object that's returned is a JDK dynamic proxy, which isn't an instance of your bean's concrete class, only of the interface it implements. Therefore any annotation scanning that depends on annotations in the concrete class won't find them.

To expand on Ryan Stewart's answer, you need to add
#Scope(proxyMode = ScopedProxyMode.TARGET_CLASS)
to the implementing class (not the interface) and move the Shiro annotations to it.

I encountered a similar problem when I was running two spring contexts. There is a parent root context that defined Database, Service, Security and non-SpringMVC web beans and a child web context for a Spring MVC REST api which contained the Controllers I want to proxy. The Configuration for each context was class path scanning separate packages.
In this case make sure that the DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator and the AuthorizationAttributeSourceAdvisor beans that are requied are defined in the child web context (i.e. where the Rest Controllers are class path scanned) as defining them in the parent context does not work (the documentation on the DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreate is quite clear about this in hindsight!).
Posting this in case someone else encounters the same issue.

what is the usage of new keyword while using java configuration in spring

I have a question around the usage of new keyword being used when using java configuration in spring. What is the need of using new keyword
Refer below mentioned example:
Code implemented using Java Config
#Configuration
public class HelloWorldConfig {
#Bean
public HelloWorld helloWorld(){
return new HelloWorld();
}
}
The above code will be equivalent to the following XML configuration
<beans>
<bean id = "helloWorld" class = "com.test.HelloWorld" />
</beans>
In XML config, we do not use new keyword whereas in java config we are using new keyword. can someone please explain the difference
In the XML configuration, you explain to the system what class should be instanciated (there is a "new" but it is behind the scene) but in the Java Config you actually have to return an instance so that is why we use the 'new' keyword. 'new' simply creates an instance of your class.
The two examples shown in question are not really equivalent.
What the
<beans>
<bean id="helloWorld"
class="com.test.HelloWorld" />
</beans>
really does, is it tells Spring to instantiate class com.test.HelloWorld, and name the resulting bean "helloWorld".
Then the java-config approach is not really doing this. Instead this follows the factory-method pattern, when we tell Spring, that the return value of the method is the bean, and the method name is the name of that bean.
An equivalent of that in XML would be the mentioned factory-method approach, which in this case would look something like this:
<beans>
<bean id="helloWorldConfig"
class="com.test.HelloWorldConfig" />
<bean id="helloWorld"
factory-bean="helloWorldConfig"
factory-method="helloWorld" />
</beans>
Note that there are several approaches to factory-method. In the above, we are assuming, the `helloWorldConfig" is the factory, and we're specifying the method on that bean. Theare are cases with static factory methods too. See here for more examples.
<beans>
<bean id = "helloWorld" class = "com.test.HelloWorld" />
</beans>
This XML configurations tells Spring to "create an instance of com.test.HelloWorld and put it in the bean context with bean id helloWorld".
#Configuration
public class HelloWorldConfig {
#Bean
public HelloWorld helloWorld(){
return new HelloWorld();
}
}
In this Java configuration, we are returning an instance of com.test.HelloWorld. Because of the #Bean annotation, this instance is put into the bean context. As no specific bean id is given, the bean id is derived from the method hellowWorld() and thus becomes helloWorld.
As you can see, both configurations require an instance of com.test.HelloWorld. The XML configuration implicitly creates the instance whereas in the Java configuration you have to explicitly do it yourself.

Grails initialization

In my Grails app, I need access to configuration exposed by a Java class similar to the below
public class Config {
private Properties properties = new Properties();
static load(String path) {
File configFile = new File(path);
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(configFile);
properties.load(fileReader);
}
String getProperty(String name) {
properties.getProperty(name);
}
}
I trigger the initialisation of this class in the first line of Bootstrap.groovy by calling Config.load("/conf.properties"). However, the initialization of various Spring beans needs properties that are exposed by Config, but by the time Bootstrap.groovy is executed, Spring initialization has already completed.
So I need to find a way to call Config.load() before construction of the Spring beans, is this possible? I guess there might be an event handler available in /script/_Events.groovy that I could invoke it from, but I'm not sure which handlers are available.
Unfortunately, changing the source code of Config.java isn't an option, and neither is eliminating my usage of this class.
You could try declaring a suitable bean in web-app/WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml, which is the definition of the root web application context as opposed to the GrailsApplication's internal context.
<bean id="initConfig" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
<property name="targetClass" value="com.example.Config" />
<property name="targetMethod" value="load" />
<property name="arguments">
<list><value>/conf.properties</value></list>
</property>
</bean>
and modify the grailsApplication bean to depend on that:
<bean id="grailsApplication" depends-on="initConfig" class="...">

Dynamic Dependency Injection Spring

I have following code inside my class
public void startListeners() throws Exception {
List<QueueConfiguration> queueConfigs = queueConfigResolver.getQueueConfigurations();
for(QueueConfiguration queueConfig : queueConfigs){
//TODO : work on this make it more testable
ICustomListener readerListener = new MyCustomListener(queueConfig);
readerListeners.add(readerListener);
readerListener.start();
}
}
I am using Spring for dependency injection(not in this case but overall). Now there two problems with this code.
I cannot put mock for each of the listeners created, while testing.
I dont want to use ApplicationContext.getBean() because it will have same affect. AFAIK spring cannot do this dynamically , but any other pointers?
As far as I can understand, you want to create a new bean instead of
ICustomListener readerListener = new MyCustomListener(queueConfig);
If that is the case, creating a factory for mycustomlistener and using
public abstract TestClient createTestClient();
to create your beans, and defining
<bean id="testClient" class="com.myproject.testbeans.TestClient" scope="prototype">
</bean>
<bean id="testClientFactory" class="com.myproject.testbeans.TestClientFactory">
<lookup-method name="createTestClient" bean="testClient" />
</bean>
in your context will solve your problem. This way, every time the createTestClient method of the factory is called, a new bean is created and given to your code. However, you have to give the config object via a setter instead of the constructor.

Another question on Spring 3, servlet, #autowired

I think I've read every question and answer on Spring and autowiring a servlet, both here and at springsource.org, and I still can't get it working.
All I want to do is have the datasource automatically set in my servlets. I understand that the container creates the servlet and not Spring.
Here is code from my test servlet:
package mypackage.servlets;
imports go here...
#Service
public class TestServlet extends HttpServlet
{
private JdbcTemplate _jt;
#Autowired
public void setDataSource(DataSource dataSource)
{
_jt = new JdbcTemplate(dataSource);
}
etc etc
In my applicationContext.xml I have:
<context:annotation-config />
<context:component-scan base-package="mypackage.servlets />
<import resource="datasource.xml" />
and in my datasource.xml:
<jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/db" />
If I can't get this working I'll just use WebApplicationContextUtils in the servlet's init method but I'd really like to make this work after all the reading I've been doing.
I'm using Spring 3, Java 1.6.
Thanks,
Paul
You need to replace your Servlets by Spring MVC contollers. Because Spring will not inject anything the classes (servlets) created by someone else then Spring itselfe (except #Configurable).
(To get an very simple example, take a look at the STS Spring Template Project: MVC).
What I wanted to do was get a DataSource reference in my Servlet for free, i.e. not calling a static getDatasource method on some class.
Here's what I learned and how I got it working:
Servlets cannot be configured or autowired by Spring. Servlets are created before Spring's app context is loaded. See issue SPR-7801: https://jira.springsource.org/browse/SPR-7801
What I did was create a DataSource in my applicationContext.xml and export that as a property:
<jee:jndi-lookup id="dataSource" jndi-name="java:comp/env/jdbc/db" />
<bean class="org.springframework.web.context.support.ServletContextAttributeExporter">
<property name="attributes">
<map>
<entry key="myDatasource">
<ref bean="dataSource"/>
</entry>
</map>
</property>
</bean>
In my servlet's init method I read the property:
public void init(ServletConfig config)
{
Object obj = config.getServletContext().getAttribute("myDatasource");
setDataSource((DataSource)obj);
}
public void setDataSource(DataSource datasource)
{
// do something here with datasource, like
// store it or make a JdbcTemplate out of it
}
If I'd been using DAOs instead of hitting the database from the servlets it would have been easy to wire them up for #Autowired by marking them #Configurable, and also be able to use #Transactional and other Spring goodies.

Ability to switch Persistence Unit dynamically within the application (JPA)

My application data access layer is built using Spring and EclipseLink and I am currently trying to implement the following feature - Ability to switch the current/active persistence unit dynamically for a user. I tried various options and finally ended up doing the following.
In the persistence.xml, declare multiple PUs. Create a class with as many EntityManagerFactory attributes as there are PUs defined. This will act as a factory and return the appropriate EntityManager based on my logic
public class MyEntityManagerFactory {
#PersistenceUnit(unitName="PU_1")
private EntityManagerFactory emf1;
#PersistenceUnit(unitName="PU_2")
private EntityManagerFactory emf2;
public EntityManager getEntityManager(int releaseId) {
// Logic goes here to return the appropriate entityManeger
}
}
My spring-beans xml looks like this..
<!-- First persistence unit -->
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean" id="emFactory1">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="PU_1" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager" id="transactionManager1">
<property name="entityManagerFactory" ref="emFactory1"/>
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="transactionManager1"/>
The above section is repeated for the second PU (with names like emFactory2, transactionManager2 etc).
I am a JPA newbie and I know that this is not the best solution. I appreciate any assistance in implementing this requirement in a better/elegant way!
Thanks!
First of all thanks to user332768 and bert. I tried using AbstractRoutingDataSource as mentioned in the link provided by bert, but got lost trying to hook up my jpa layer (eclipselink). I reverted to my older approach with some modifications. The solution looks cleaner (IMHO) and is working fine. (switching database at runtime and also writing to multiple databases in the same transaction)
public class MyEntityManagerFactoryImpl implements MyEntityManagerFactory, ApplicationContextAware {
private HashMap<String, EntityManagerFactory> emFactoryMap;
public EntityManager getEntityManager(String releaseId) {
return SharedEntityManagerCreator.createSharedEntityManager(emFactoryMap.get(releaseName));
}
#Override
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext)
throws BeansException {
Map<String, LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean> emMap = applicationContext.getBeansOfType(LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean.class);
Set<String> keys = emMap.keySet();
EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory = null;
String releaseId = null;
emFactoryMap = new HashMap<String, EntityManagerFactory>();
for (String key:keys) {
releaseId = key.split("_")[1];
entityManagerFactory = emMap.get(key).getObject();
emFactoryMap.put(releaseId, entityManagerFactory);
}
}
}
I now inject my DAO's with an instance (singleton) of MyEntityManagerFactoryImpl. The dao will then simply call createSharedEntityManager with the required release and will get the correct EntityManager for that database. (Note that i am now using application managed EntityManager and hence i have to explicitly close them in my dao)
I also moved to jta transaction manager (to manage transaction across multiple databases)
This is how my spring xml looks like now.
...
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean" id="em_Rel1">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="PU1" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean" id="em_Rel2">
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="PU2" />
</bean>
<bean class="org.springframework.transaction.jta.JtaTransactionManager" id="jtaTransactionManager">
</bean>
<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager="jtaTransactionManager"/>
....
Cheers! (comments are welcome)
I am not sure if this is a clean method. Instead of declaring the enitiymanagerfactory multiple times, we can use the spring application context to get the entitymanagerfactory declared in the spring application.xml.
hm = applicationContext.getBeansOfType(org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean.class);
EntityManagerFactory emf = ((org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean) hm.get("&emf1")).getNativeEntityManagerFactory();
EntityManagerFactory emf2 = ((org.springframework.orm.jpa.LocalEntityManagerFactoryBean) hm.get("&emf2")).getNativeEntityManagerFactory();
This is something i need to do in the future too, for this i have bookmarked Spring DynamicDatasourceRouting
http://blog.springsource.com/2007/01/23/dynamic-datasource-routing/
As far as i understand, this is using one PU, which gets assigned different DataSources. Perhaps it is helpful.
