Spring Boot Custom Bean Loader

I am using JDBI in tandem with Spring Boot. I followed this guide which results in having to create a class: JdbiConfig in which, for every dao wanted in the application context, you must add:
#Bean
public SomeDao someDao(Jdbi jdbi) {
return jdbi.onDemand(SomeDao.class);
}
I was wondering if there is some way within Spring Boot to create a custom processor to create beans and put them in the application context. I have two ideas on how this could work:
Annotate the DAOs with a custom annotation #JdbiDao and write something to pick those up. I have tried just manually injecting these into the application start up, but the problem is they may not load in time to be injected as they are not recognized during the class scan.
Create a class JdbiDao that every repository interface could extend. Then annotate the interfaces with the standard #Repository and create a custom processor to load them by way of Jdbi#onDemand
Those are my two ideas, but I don't know of any way to accomplish that. I am stuck with manually creating a bean? Has this been solved before?

The strategy is to scan your classpath for dao interface, then register them as bean.
We need: BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor to register additional bean definition and a FactoryBean to create the jdbi dao bean instance.
Mark your dao intercface with #JdbiDao
#JdbiDao
public interface SomeDao {
}
Define a FactoryBean to create jdbi dao
public class JdbiDaoBeanFactory implements FactoryBean<Object>, InitializingBean {
private final Jdbi jdbi;
private final Class<?> jdbiDaoClass;
private volatile Object jdbiDaoBean;
public JdbiDaoBeanFactory(Jdbi jdbi, Class<?> jdbiDaoClass) {
this.jdbi = jdbi;
this.jdbiDaoClass = jdbiDaoClass;
}
#Override
public Object getObject() throws Exception {
return jdbiDaoBean;
}
#Override
public Class<?> getObjectType() {
return jdbiDaoClass;
}
#Override
public void afterPropertiesSet() throws Exception {
jdbiDaoBean = jdbi.onDemand(jdbiDaoClass);
}
}
Scan classpath for #JdbiDao annotated interfaces:
public class JdbiBeanFactoryPostProcessor
implements BeanDefinitionRegistryPostProcessor, ResourceLoaderAware, EnvironmentAware, BeanClassLoaderAware, BeanFactoryAware {
private BeanFactory beanFactory;
private ResourceLoader resourceLoader;
private Environment environment;
private ClassLoader classLoader;
#Override
public void setResourceLoader(ResourceLoader resourceLoader) {
this.resourceLoader = resourceLoader;
}
#Override
public void setEnvironment(Environment environment) {
this.environment = environment;
}
#Override
public void setBeanClassLoader(ClassLoader classLoader) {
this.classLoader = classLoader;
}
#Override
public void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
}
#Override
public void postProcessBeanFactory(ConfigurableListableBeanFactory configurableListableBeanFactory) throws BeansException {
}
#Override
public void postProcessBeanDefinitionRegistry(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry) throws BeansException {
ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider scanner = new ClassPathScanningCandidateComponentProvider(false) {
#Override
protected boolean isCandidateComponent(AnnotatedBeanDefinition beanDefinition) {
// By default, scanner does not accept regular interface without #Lookup method, bypass this
return true;
}
};
scanner.setEnvironment(environment);
scanner.setResourceLoader(resourceLoader);
scanner.addIncludeFilter(new AnnotationTypeFilter(JdbiDao.class));
List<String> basePackages = AutoConfigurationPackages.get(beanFactory);
basePackages.stream()
.map(scanner::findCandidateComponents)
.flatMap(Collection::stream)
.forEach(bd -> registerJdbiDaoBeanFactory(registry, bd));
}
private void registerJdbiDaoBeanFactory(BeanDefinitionRegistry registry, BeanDefinition bd) {
GenericBeanDefinition beanDefinition = (GenericBeanDefinition) bd;
Class<?> jdbiDaoClass;
try {
jdbiDaoClass = beanDefinition.resolveBeanClass(classLoader);
} catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
beanDefinition.setBeanClass(JdbiDaoBeanFactory.class);
// Add dependency to your `Jdbi` bean by name
beanDefinition.getConstructorArgumentValues().addGenericArgumentValue(new RuntimeBeanReference("jdbi"));
beanDefinition.getConstructorArgumentValues().addGenericArgumentValue(Objects.requireNonNull(jdbiDaoClass));
registry.registerBeanDefinition(jdbiDaoClass.getName(), beanDefinition);
}
}
Import our JdbiBeanFactoryPostProcessor
#SpringBootApplication
#Import(JdbiBeanFactoryPostProcessor.class)
public class Application {
}

Autowired object populated using ThreadLocalTargetSource does not populate for every class

My Spring Boot application implements the TenantStore example for storing data in ThreadLocalTargetSource detailed in this link
#Bean(destroyMethod = "destroy")
public ThreadLocalTargetSource threadLocalTenantStore() {
ThreadLocalTargetSource result = new ThreadLocalTargetSource();
result.setTargetBeanName("tenantStore");
return result;
}
The working example allows for the TenantStore object to be set and injected by the Spring Framework. My version of the TenantFilter class described in that article sets the properties of the TenantStore object whenever a Servlet request is made
#Autowired
private TenantStore tenantStore;
#Override
public void doFilter(ServletRequest request, ServletResponse response, FilterChain chain)
throws IOException, ServletException {
try {
Authentication authentication = SecurityContextHolder.getContext().getAuthentication();
if (authentication != null) {
String token = (String) request.getAttribute(ACCESS_TOKEN_VALUE);
if (token != null) {
OAuth2AccessToken oAuth2AccessToken = tokenStore.readAccessToken(token);
if (oAuth2AccessToken.getAdditionalInformation() != null) {
String tenantName = (String) oAuth2AccessToken.getAdditionalInformation().get("tenant");
storeTenantInThread(tenantName);
}
}
}
chain.doFilter(request, response);
} catch (ResourceNotFoundException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage());
} finally {
clearTenant();
}
}
private void storeTenantInThread(String tenantName) {
tenantStore.setName(tenantName);
}
private void clearTenant() {
tenantStore.clear();
}
I then have a number of services where TenantStore is autowired and in each of these services the TenantStore contains the information that was populated in the doFilter() method. Except for one class. For some reason the properties of the TenantStore in this class are still null. The name of the class affected is MyCacheService and the architecture is as follows:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/here")
public class MyController {
#Autowired
private MyService myService
#GetMapping
public ResponseEntity myGetMethod(#RequestParam("text") String text) {
myService.myMethod(text);
return new ResponseEntity(Http.OK);
}
}
#Service
public class MyService {
#Autowired
private TenantStore tenantStore;
#Autowired
private MyOtherService myOtherService;
public void myMethod(String text) {
System.out.println(tenantStore.getName()); //works - prints name
myOtherService.myOtherMethod(text);
}
}
#Service
public class MyOtherService {
#Autowired
private TenantStore tenantStore;
#Autowired
private Map<String, MyComponent> myComponents;
public void myOtherMethod(String text) {
System.out.println(tenantStore.getName()); //works - prints name
MyComponent useThisComponent = myComponents.get("componentName");
useThisComponent.myComponentMethod(text);
}
}
#Component("componentName")
public class MyComponent {
#Autowired
private TenantStore tenantStore;
#Autowired
private MyCacheService myCacheService;
public void myComponentMethod(String text) {
System.out.println(tenantStore.getName()); //works - prints name
entityAliasCacheService.myCacheMethod(String text);
}
}
#Service
public class MyCacheService {
#Autowired
private TenantStore tenantStore;
public void myCacheMethod(String text) {
System.out.println(tenantStore.getName()); //DOES NOT WORK - tenantStore object is not null but the name property is
}
}
From what I can guess, for some reason the TenantStore in MyCacheService is being populated in a different thread, though I've no idea why.

I noticed similar behaviour. I fixed the issue by adding a bean dependancy
#Service
#DependsOn("proxiedThreadLocalTargetSource") // asks Spring to first load proxy bean
public class MyCacheService {
where proxiedThreadLocalTargetSource bean is defined like in the OP's example -
#Primary
#Bean(name = "proxiedThreadLocalTargetSource")
public ProxyFactoryBean proxiedThreadLocalTargetSource(ThreadLocalTargetSource threadLocalTargetSource) {
ProxyFactoryBean result = new ProxyFactoryBean();
result.setTargetSource(threadLocalTargetSource);
return result;
}
So, by adding the dependancy, Spring knows that it should load MyCacheService bean after the proxiedThreadLocalTargetSource. Without this dependancy, I noticed that TenantStore got injected instead of the proxy bean.

Getting instance of TenantStore from org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext
First implement ApplicationContextAware like as below
#Component
public class ApplicationContextUtil implements ApplicationContextAware {
private static ApplicationContext context;
#Override
public void setApplicationContext(ApplicationContext applicationContext) throws BeansException {
context = applicationContext;
}
public static ApplicationContext context() {
return context;
}
}
And your MyCacheService Will be like this:
public class MyCacheService {
public void myCacheMethod(String text) {
TenantStore tenantStore = ApplicationContextUtil.context().getBean(TenantStore.class);
System.out.println(tenantStore.getName());
}
}

How to add HttpServletRequest param to complex RestController bean?

I have a complex bean holding the rest parameters, eg:
public class MyRestParams {
private HttpServletRequest req;
private #NotBlank String name;
//getter, setter
}
Usage:
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/xml")
public class MyServlet {
#RequestMapping(value = "/")
public void getTest(#Valid MyRestParams p) {
Sysout(p.getName()); //works when invoked with /xml?name=test
Sysout(p.getReq()); //always null
}
}
Problem: the HttpServletRequest is always null. Isn't it possible to add this parameter within the bean itself?

You can provide an implementation for HandlerMethodArgumentResolver to resolve your MyRestParams:
public class MyRestParamsArgumentResolver implements HandlerMethodArgumentResolver {
#Override
public boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter parameter) {
return parameter.getParameterType().equals(MyRestParams.class);
}
#Override
public Object resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter,
ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer,
NativeWebRequest webRequest,
WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory) throws Exception {
MyRestParams restParam = new MyRestParams();
restParam.setReq((HttpServletRequest) webRequest.getNativeRequest());
return restParam;
}
}
Then register it in your WebMvcConfigurerAdapter:
#EnableWebMvc
#Configuration
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addArgumentResolvers(List<HandlerMethodArgumentResolver> argumentResolvers) {
argumentResolvers.add(new MyRestParamsArgumentResolver());
}
}

When using that form of method signature Spring will use your bean as a model attribute. Spring will bind your request parameters to bean properties of matching names using a WebDataBinder e.g ServletRequestDataBinder.
Since there is no request parameter which matches your bean property req the field will never be set. Even if the request parameter with name req existed in your request it wont be convertible to a HttpServletRequest.
To receive the actual request add a parameter of type HttpServletRequest to your handler method
#RequestMapping(value = "/")
public void getTest(#Valid MyRestParams p , HttpServletRequest request) {
Sysout(p.getName()); //works when invoked with /xml?name=test
Sysout(request); //always null
}
Or a parameter of type WebRequest if you dont want to tie yourself to the Servlet API.

How to inject ANY information about test in spring testing?

I would like some of my beans know something about test. SOMETHING. May be test class name or some of it's methods.
For example, suppose my test class has a method
public String getTestName() {
return getClass().getSimpleName();
}
This method returns test name and can be overridden.
Is it possible to inject this name into some beans of Spring context, to use during test?
For example, with autowire feature:
#Autowired
public String testName;
not only in test class, but in other beans too.
UPDATE
Below are two (failed) attempts to implement injecting testInstance. May be there are some convenient ways to do that?
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = TestClassAwareTry._Config.class)
#TestExecutionListeners(value = { TestClassAwareTry._Listener.class },
mergeMode = TestExecutionListeners.MergeMode.MERGE_WITH_DEFAULTS)
public class TestClassAwareTry {
/**
* Interface to tag beans, who want to know if they are in test
*/
public interface TestInstanceAware {
void setTestInstance(Object value);
}
/**
* Sample bean, which would like to know if it is in test
*/
public static class MyBean implements TestInstanceAware {
private Object testInstance;
{
System.out.println("MyBean constructed");
}
public void setTestInstance(Object value) {
this.testInstance = value;
System.out.println("testInstance set");
}
public Object getTestInstance() {
return testInstance;
}
}
/**
* Attempt to inject testInstance with a bean, implementing {#link BeanPostProcessor}
*/
public static class TestInstanceInjector implements BeanPostProcessor {
public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
if( bean instanceof TestInstanceAware ) {
TestInstanceAware aware = (TestInstanceAware) bean;
// we don't have access to test instance here
// otherwise I would write
//Object testInstance = getTestInstance();
//aware.setTestInstance(testInstance);
}
return bean;
}
public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
return bean;
}
}
/**
* Attempt to inject testInstance with test execution listener
*/
public static class _Listener extends AbstractTestExecutionListener {
#Override
public void prepareTestInstance(TestContext testContext) throws Exception {
Object testInstance = testContext.getTestInstance();
ApplicationContext context = testContext.getApplicationContext();
// we don't have setBean() method
// I would write if I have
// context.setBean("testInstance", context);
}
}
/**
* Java-based configuration
*/
#Configuration
public class _Config {
#Bean
public MyBean myBean() {
return new MyBean();
}
#Bean
public TestInstanceInjector testInstanceInjector() {
return new TestInstanceInjector();
// I would acquire test instance here and pass it to constructor, if I can
}
}
#Autowired
public MyBean myBean;
#Test
public void testInjected() {
assertSame( this, myBean.getTestInstance());
}
}

I've ended up creating ContextCustomizerFactory that registers BeanPostProcessor
package com.company.testing.base.spring;
import java.util.List;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ConfigurableListableBeanFactory;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextConfigurationAttributes;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextCustomizer;
import org.springframework.test.context.ContextCustomizerFactory;
public class TestAwareContextCustomizerFactory implements ContextCustomizerFactory {
#Override
public ContextCustomizer createContextCustomizer(
Class<?> testClass, List<ContextConfigurationAttributes> configAttributes) {
return (context, mergedConfig) -> {
ConfigurableListableBeanFactory beanFactory = context.getBeanFactory();
beanFactory.addBeanPostProcessor(
new TestInstanceAwareBeanPostProcessor(mergedConfig.getTestClass()));
};
}
}
TestInstanceAwareBeanPostProcessor
public class TestInstanceAwareBeanPostProcessor implements BeanPostProcessor {
private final Class<?> testClass;
TestInstanceAwareBeanPostProcessor(Class<?> testClass) {
this.testClass = testClass;
}
#Override
public Object postProcessBeforeInitialization(Object bean, String beanName)
throws BeansException {
if (bean instanceof TestClassAware) {
((TestClassAware) bean).setTestClass(testClass);
}
return bean;
}
#Override
public Object postProcessAfterInitialization(Object bean, String beanName) throws BeansException {
return bean;
}
}
resources/META-INF/spring.factories
# ContextCustomizerFactories for the Spring TestContext Framework
org.springframework.test.context.ContextCustomizerFactory = \
com.company.testing.base.spring.TestAwareContextCustomizerFactory

The only way I've been able to do this is by delaying creation of the subject until you are in the test method and to have the bean in the prototype scope.
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = { LiveConfig.class, DevConfig.class})
#ActiveProfiles("Dev")
public class MeTest {
#Autowired
public ApplicationContext context;
#Autowired
DevConfig devConfig;
#Rule
public TestName nameRule = new TestName();
#Before
public void setName() {
devConfig.setSettings(nameRule.getMethodName());
}
#Test
public void test() {
Bean subject = context.getBean(Bean.class);
System.out.println(subject.settings);
assertThat(subject.settings, is(nameRule.getMethodName()));
}
#Test
public void test2() {
Bean subject = context.getBean(Bean.class);
System.out.println(subject.settings);
assertThat(subject.settings, is(nameRule.getMethodName()));
}
}
#Configuration
class LiveConfig {
#org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean
public String getSettings() {
return "/some/real/file.txt";
}
#org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean
#Scope(value = ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
public Bean getBean() {
return new Bean();
}
}
#Configuration
class DevConfig {
private String settings;
#org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean
#Profile("Dev")
#Scope(value = ConfigurableBeanFactory.SCOPE_PROTOTYPE)
public String getSettings() {
return settings;
}
public void setSettings(String settings) {
this.settings = settings;
}
}
class Bean {
public Bean() {
System.out.println("Bean");
}
String settings;
#Autowired
void setSettings(String settings) {
System.out.println("Settings: " + settings);
this.settings = settings;
}
}
This uses Profiles to change what Live sees and what the tests see, and the a NameRule to get the name. It is clunky.
I would NOT use the TestName rule, but rather the TemporaryFolder rule and use that to set whatever setting your application uses for the output folder. I'd also only use DI in a test in very rare cases (i.e. full blown integration tests).

Do you mean like this?
public class MyTest {
#Test
public void testName() {
MyBean b = new MyBean(MyTest.class.getSimpleName());
b.doSomething();
}
}

You can achieve this in a more elegant way using Spring Boot Auto configuration feature by making yours, this way:
define a Configuration class that exposes or registers your bean this way:
#Configuration
public class MyBeanProviderConfiguration {
#ConditionalOnMissingBean
#Bean
public MyBean myBean() {
// return a fully initialised MyBean instance
}
}
Then define a custom annotation Spring Boot like, say #AutoConfigureMyBean this way:
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target(ElementType.TYPE)
#ImportAutoConfiguration(MyBeanProviderConfiguration.class)
public #interface AutoConfigureMyBean {}
Then you can use this in your Spring test, here is an example:
#RunWith(SpringRunner.class)
#AutoConfigureMyBean
public class MyTest {
#Autowired
MyBean myBean;
}
Or also declare your MyBean #Autowired dependent bean in a regular Spring test (using a Config class), A MyBean instance will be automatically injected into it.

Spring PathVariable used outside

I have Spring rest controller that provides operations on Project entity. All methods use same entity accessing code. I don't want to copy&paste #PathVariable parameters in all methods, so I've made something like this.
#RestController
#RequestMapping("/projects/{userName}/{projectName}")
public class ProjectController {
#Autowired
ProjectService projectService;
#Autowired
protected HttpServletRequest context;
protected Project project() {
// get {userName} and {projectName} path variables from request string
String[] split = context.getPathInfo().split("/");
return projectService.getProject(split[2], split[3]);
}
#RequestMapping(method = GET)
public Project get() {
return project();
}
#RequestMapping(method = GET, value = "/doSomething")
public void doSomething() {
Project project = project();
// do something with project
}
// more #RequestMapping methods using project()
}
Is it possible to autowire path variables into controller by annotation so I don't have to split request path and get parts of it from request string for project() method?

In order to do custom binding from request you've got to implement your own HandlerMethodArgumentResolver (it's a trivial example without checking if path variables actually exist and it's also global, so every time you will try to bind to Project class this argument resolver will be used):
class ProjectArgumentResolver implements HandlerMethodArgumentResolver {
#Override
public boolean supportsParameter(MethodParameter methodParameter) {
return methodParameter.getParameterType().equals(Project.class);
}
#Override
public Object resolveArgument(MethodParameter parameter, ModelAndViewContainer mavContainer, NativeWebRequest webRequest, WebDataBinderFactory binderFactory) throws Exception {
Map<String, String> uriTemplateVars = (Map<String, String>) webRequest.getAttribute(HandlerMapping.URI_TEMPLATE_VARIABLES_ATTRIBUTE, RequestAttributes.SCOPE_REQUEST);
return getProject(uriTemplateVars.get("userName"), uriTemplateVars.get("projectName"));
}
private Project getProject(String userName, String projectName) {
// replace with your custom Project loading logic
Project project = new Project(userName, projectName);
return project;
}
}
and register it using WebMvcConfigurerAdapter:
#Component
public class CustomWebMvcConfigurerAdapter extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void addArgumentResolvers(List<HandlerMethodArgumentResolver> argumentResolvers) {
argumentResolvers.add(new ProjectArgumentResolver());
}
}
In your controller you have to put Project as a method argument, but do not annotate it with #PathVariable:
#Controller
#RequestMapping("/projects/{userName}/{projectName}")
public class HomeController {
#RequestMapping(method = RequestMethod.GET)
public void index(Project project){
// do something
}
}
