Spring deployment-level configuration - spring

When I wrote Java EE apps, I used JBoss Datasources to control which databases the deployment used. E.g. the dev versions would use a throwaway hibernate db, the ref and ops would use stable MySQL deployments. I also used MBeans to configure various other services and rules.
Now that I'm using Spring, I'd like the same functionality - deploy the same code, but with different configuration. Crucially, I'd also like Unit Tests to still run with stub services. My question is this - is there a way, in JBoss, to inject configuration with files which live outside of the WAR/EAR, and also include these files in test resources.

It is possible to add objects into the JNDI context by placing a file named xxx-service.xml into jboss's deploy directory. The app could then lookup the values via JNDI. In the example below the string "development" is added at java:/modes/deployment. To use JNDI in your unit tests use the org.springframework.mock.jndi package.

Configure default data source for Arquillain Test in OpenLiberty

I started a new ejb branch to add some simple Ejb and JPA codes.
Java EE 6/7 should include a default data source via java:comp/DefaultDataSource, but it is not available in OpenLiberty by default.
I added the following config to server.xml to provide a DefaultDataSource.
<!-- Derby Library Configuration -->
<library id="derbyJDBCLib">
<fileset dir="${shared.resource.dir}" includes="derby*.jar"/>
</library>
<!-- Datasource Configuration -->
<!-- remove jndiName="" to serve java:comp/DefaultDataSource for Java EE 7 or above -->
<dataSource id="DefaultDataSource">
<jdbcDriver libraryRef="derbyJDBCLib" />
<properties.derby.embedded databaseName="ExampleDb" createDatabase="create"/>
</dataSource>
The derby lib is prepared by Maven dependency plugin, see here.
When running the codes, I got a deployment Timeout exception.
Check the details here.
Update: resolved via issue OpenLiberty/liberty-arquillian#94.
Add an appDeployTimeout into arquillian.xml.
<property name="appDeployTimeout">120</property>

Unable to write application logs using externalized Log4j2 XML configuration using Red Hat EAP 7.1.5

I have an application made of Spring Boot WAR packages that need to be migrated to Red Hat EAP 7.1.5.
In my current setup I do the following:
Each WAR has a dedicated log4j2 XML per environment.
This XML file name is defined in the web.xml
The folder containing the log4j2_xxxx.xml is added to the classpath in the JVM startup script.
The WARs are distributed across multiple run-time instances, with a possibility of one run-time hosting more than one WAR.
I would like to replicate the same using EAP. I do see the external log4j2 XML configuration being successfully loaded, however do not see any log statements being written at all.
I am using the following dependencies for packaging log4j2
org.springframework.boot.spring-boot-starter-log4j2 (version 1.5.7)
org.apache.logging.log4j.log4j-web (version 2.10.0)
I have tried the following:
Define a custom module under $JBOSS_HOME/modules/
Add the log4j2 XML in the same folder.
Refer this as global-module in standalone.xml
When I deploy a WAR I can see that the expected log file is created, which means the log4j2 XML configuration is being read successfully. However no logs get written at all in the application log file.
I have tried to get past this by defining a jboss-deployment-structure XML as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure>
<deployment>
<exclusions>
<module name="org.apache.log4j" />
<module name="org.jboss.log4j.logmanager" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging.commons.logging" />
<module name="org.jboss.logging.jul-to-slf4j-stub" />
</exclusions>
<exclude-subsystems>
<subsystem name="logging"/>
</exclude-subsystems>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
This results in the application logging being removed from the default JBOSS log (server.log) altogether but it does not write the logs to the designated log as well.
I would expect all the logging being done within the application to be written into the file defined by the external log4j2 XML configuration. Any idea what I am missing?

JBoss 7 EAP Application Specific Logging with Shared Modules

Maybe I am just completely missing something but I am trying to configure log4j in JBoss 7 EAP with the main goal of isloating application ( WAR ) log messages to unique files.
Our environment has Spring ( 3.X ) configured as a module, and each WAR ( let's call them WAR A and WAR B ) has its own jboss deployment descriptor for Spring as well as a log4j.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss-deployment-structure xmlns="urn:jboss:deployment-structure:1.2">
<deployment>
<dependencies>
<module name="org.springframework.spring" slot="3.2" meta-inf="export" export="true" />
</dependencies>
</deployment>
</jboss-deployment-structure>
log4j.rootLogger = INFO, FILE
log4j.category.org.springframework=DEBUG
log4j.appender.FILE=org.apache.log4j.DailyRollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.FILE.File=${jboss.server.log.dir}/webapp_a.log
log4j.appender.FILE.ImmediateFlush=true
log4j.appender.FILE.Threshold=debug
log4j.appender.FILE.Append=true
log4j.appender.FILE.DatePattern='.' yyyy-MM-dd-a
log4j.appender.FILE.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.FILE.layout.conversionPattern=%d %-5p (%-6t) [%X{IP}] [%c] %m%n
Each application creates its own log files, however all the Spring logs are written to the JBoss server.log, and not the application specific log as I would expect. The idea is I would like to see only the spring logs that are relevant to the application in its log file
Am I missing something completely obvious, or really just not understanding how the classloading is working in JBoss 7 where this isn't even possible. Thanks
This is because you have Spring installed as a module. Modules log via the system log context which is configured via the logging subsystem.
Since the org.springframework.spring uses it's own class loader you really wouldn't want the org.springframework.spring module to log with an applications log context. The reason is any static loggers would be configured on whichever application configures the logger first.

Unable to use JCA CICS resource with IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Profile

I'm trying to setup WLP for an existing EAR application.
This setup works fine with WAS 9 traditional.
The problem is the JCA CICS Resource Adapter call.
The server.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server description="new server">
<!-- Enable features -->
<featureManager>
<feature>javaee-7.0</feature>
</featureManager>
<!-- To access this server from a remote client add a host attribute to the following element, e.g. host="*" -->
<httpEndpoint id="defaultHttpEndpoint"
host="*"

httpsPort="9443" />
<!-- Automatically expand WAR files and EAR files -->
<applicationManager autoExpand="true"/>
<library id="sharedLibs">
<fileset dir="/work/sharedlibs" includes="*.jar"/>
<folder dir="/work" />
</library>
<resourceAdapter
autoStart="true"
id="eciResourceAdapter"
location="/work/cicseci.rar">
</resourceAdapter>

</connectionFactory>
<application type="ear" id="app" location="app.ear" name="app">
<classloader
commonLibraryRef="sharedLibs"
classProviderRef="eciResourceAdapter" />
</application>
</server>
in ibm-web-bnd.xml :
<resource-ref name="cicsjca" binding-name="jca/CTGDV06"></resource-ref>
in web.xml :
<resource-ref id="ResourceRef_Cics_Jca">
<description>Acces CICS</description>

<res-type>javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory</res-type>
<res-auth>Application</res-auth>
<res-sharing-scope>Shareable</res-sharing-scope>
</resource-ref>
Startup is Ok, but access to JCA fail with :
java.lang.Exception: Lookup for java:comp/env/cicsjca failed. Exception: javax.naming.NamingException: CWNEN1001E: The object referenced by the java:comp/env/cicsjca JNDI name could not be instantiated. If the reference name maps to a JNDI name in the deployment descriptor bindings for the application performing the JNDI lookup, make sure that the JNDI name mapping in the deployment descriptor binding is correct. If the JNDI name mapping is correct, make sure the target resource can be resolved with the specified name relative to the default initial context.
[Root exception is com.ibm.wsspi.injectionengine.InjectionException: CWNEN0030E: The server was unable to obtain an object instance for the java:comp/env/cicsjca reference. The exception message was: CWNEN1003E: The server was unable to find the jca/CTGDV06 binding with the javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory type for the java:comp/env/cicsjca reference.]
I don't understand what's wrong with this setup, any help would be apreciated !
The correct configuration depends on how many connection factory implementations are provided by the resource adapter.
If the resource adapter provides only a single connection factory (which is commonly the case for many resource adapters), then configuration would be:
<connectionFactory id="CTGDV06" jndiName="jca/CTGDV06" >
<properties.eciResourceAdapter
connectionUrl="tcp://*******"
serverName="*******"
userName="*******"
portNumber="2006"
/>
</connectionFactory>
Full detail on how to specify configuration for JCA resource adapters in Liberty can be found here in the knowledge center.

jetty load multiple context

We have an maven+springMVC application that uses maven jetty plugin to start the app up when we do development. We use a jetty-env.xml file to set a context and JNDI config. The application will be part of a bigger portal.
We are using maven jetty plugin
<groupId>org.mortbay.jetty</groupId>
<artifactId>jetty-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<version>7.2.0.v20101020</version>
with config
<webAppConfig>
<contextPath>/ASX/mainApp</contextPath>
<jettyEnvXml>src/main/resources/jetty-env.xml</jettyEnvXml>
</webAppConfig>
and use jetty-env.xml
<Configure id='jms-webapp-wac' class="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<Set name="contextPath">/ASX/mainApp</Set>
...
...
</Configure>
Our dir structure is:
MainApp
/forms
page1.html
page2.html
etc...
/WEB-INF
web.xml
PortalApp
/BAL_S
/css
/images
/js
etc...
Now the PortalApp only has static files and is not really a web application i.e. it doesn't have web.xml
The application is dependent on javaScripts from the portal. The location of some of the javaScript are like:
<script src="/BAL_S/js/portal-jquery-lib.js"></script>
<script src="/BAL_S/js/libs/foundation.js"></script>
etc...
As you can see that the location starts with /BAL_S which we are finding tricky to get working as it's like referring to another webapp context. When we start the application with jetty we get javaScript errors because it cannot find /BAL_S
If we deploy our app in tomcat and configure it, as below, the application works fine without any javaScript errors.
<Context path="/" docBase="PortalApp"/>
So the question is how can I do the similar configuration in Jetty so when the application starts up it detects /BAL_S context?
I guess we need to have two contexts in Jetty. How do I configure that?
What is the webConfig for maven jetty plugin to refer to this config?
Hope someone can help. Example would be useful.
Thanks in advance.
GM
OK All I had to do was add to maven jetty plugin configuration, the following:
<contextHandlers>
<contextHandler implementation="org.eclipse.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext">
<contextPath>/</contextPath>
<resourceBase>src/main/PortalApp/</resourceBase>
</contextHandler>
</contextHandlers>
So this configures context path '/' to 'src/main/PortalApp/' and now we are able to get to /BAL_S in the tag.
