Adding #JobScope on an ItemReader makes it fail - spring-batch

I have an issue with the #JobScope annotation.
I'm using spring-batch, with spring-boot, so no xml. I'm also using hibernate, and wish to use it in my readers.
Here is my item reader :
#Bean(name = "readerFactures")
public ItemReader<XFctFacture> readerFactures(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
HibernateCursorItemReader itemReader = new HibernateCursorItemReader();
itemReader.setQueryString("from XFctFacture where typeFacture=1 and statut=1");
itemReader.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory);
return itemReader;
}
And everythink works fine, so far ... :)
But now I want to access to a parameter from my job, so I need to annotate my reader with the #JobScope.
So my new code is :
#Bean(name = "readerFactures")
#JobScope
public ItemReader<XFctFacture> readerFactures(SessionFactory sessionFactory) {
HibernateCursorItemReader itemReader = new HibernateCursorItemReader();
itemReader.setQueryString("from XFctFacture where typeFacture=1 and statut=1");
itemReader.setSessionFactory(sessionFactory);
return itemReader;
}
And with this, when I execute the job, I have the following exception
java.lang.NullPointerException: null
at org.springframework.batch.item.database.HibernateCursorItemReader.doRead(HibernateCursorItemReader.java:155) ~[spring-batch-infrastructure-3.0.4.RELEASE.jar:3.0.4.RELEASE]

The cursor is null, it appears that my ItemReader had never been opened.
Any clues ?
Thanks

NullPointer while using JPA EntityManager in a ThredPoolExecutor

I'm implementing a JavaEE8 application using CDI and running on an Open Liberty (v20.0.0.4). The application has a event-triggered job, which runs some code in an separate thread using the ThreadPoolExecutor like this:
#Singleton
public class MyJobExecutorService {
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
thredPoolExecutor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(1, 1,
0L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, new LinkedBlockingQueue<>());
}
public void runJob(MyConfigs configs) {
thredPoolExecutor.submit(() -> new MyJobRunnable(configs).run());
}
}
The job gets data from the underlying sql database using an EntityManager, which is injected in the data access class and produced like following. My querys are written using querydsl (which should not be relevant).
public class EntityManagerProducer {
#PersistenceContext(unitName = "my-unit")
private EntityManager entityManager;
#Produces
#Dependent
public EntityManager getEntityManager() {
return entityManager;
}
}
My persistence.xml looks like this:
<persistence ...>
<persistence-unit name=my-unit">
<jta-data-source>jdbc/datasource</jta-data-source>
</persistence-unit>
</persistence>
I have no issues accessing the database from the main thred, but the job throws a NullPointerException with the following stacktrace (and no further information):

Why am I getting this exception and how can I fix this? Activating the jpa an concurrency features in the server.xml of the application server didnt help. Thanks a lot.
Enabling the concurrent-1.0 feature alone doesn't do anything unless you are using the managed resources that it provides which capture the context of the application component (such as its java:comp name space and so forth) and makes it available when running the tasks that are submitted to it.
If you must use a ThreadPoolExecutor in order to manipulate its queue in some way beyond enforcing concurrency constraints (ManagedExecutorService can impose concurrency constraints via a configurable concurrencyPolicy), the simplest way to continue using a ThreadPoolExecutor is by supplying it with a ManagedThreadFactory,
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
ManagedThreadFactory threadFactory = InitialContext.doLookup(
"java:comp/DefaultManagedThreadFactory");
thredPoolExecutor = new ThreadPoolExecutor(1, 1,
0L, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS, new LinkedBlockingQueue<>(),
threadFactory);
}
ManagedThreadFactory captures the context that is present on the thread from which it is initially looked up. You'll need to decide if there is a better place for it than your init() method based on what context you want it to provide to your ThreadPoolExecutor tasks.
You should also be aware that any use of ThreadPoolExecutor (even in combination with a ManagedThreadFactory or ContextService) bypasses use of the Liberty global thread pool.

Issue with projection when using #Lob and #Query

Entity:
#Entity
public class Item {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
private Integer price;
#Lob
private String description;
}
Interface for Projection:
public interface NameAndDesc {
String getAlias();
String getDesc();
}
Repository:
public interface ItemRepository extends JpaRepository<Item, Long> {
#Query(value = "SELECT NAME AS ALIAS, DESCRIPTION AS DESC FROM ITEM WHERE ID IS :#{#id}",nativeQuery = true)
NameAndDesc findNameAndDesc(#Param("id") Long id);
}
When I try to call .getDesc() on the query above, I get this exception:

When I remove the "#Lob" annotation from "description" the projection is working without any problem.
It seems that the problem is the CLOB what returns from the DB. When I change the projection interface method to clob "java.sql.Clob getDesc();" it seems to start working again, but not the best solution.
Is it right behaviour when using projections, like this?
I found a somewhat similar issue when it was a bug in ProxyProjectionFactory:
Issue with projection in SpringDataRest and #Lob attribute
The idea behind a projection is to limit the columns returned and (ideally requested) from the database.
There isn't much conversion support build in because this is normally handled by JPA but this doesn't happen because you are using a native query.
I therefore see two options how to solve the issue:
Convert the LOB into a VARCHAR2 or similar in the database.
How this is done depends on your database.
This answer seems to work for SQL Server.
I'm sure you'll find an alternative for whatever database you are using.
Get JPA back in the game by using a JPQL query.
That should be database independent but I assume you had a reason for using a native query, to begin with.
One way around this is to use the Spring Content community project. This project allows you to associate content with Spring Data entities. The content is managed separately leaving only "managed" content-related metadata on the Entity. This won't mess your projections. Think Spring Data but for Content (or Unstructured data).
This is pretty easy to add to your existing projects. I am not sure if you are using Spring Boot, or not. I'll give a non-spring boot example:
pom.xml
<!-- Java API -->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.paulcwarren</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-content-jpa</artifactId>
<version>0.5.0</version>
</dependency>
<!-- REST API (if desired)-->
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.paulcwarren</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-content-rest</artifactId>
<version>0.5.0</version>
</dependency>
Configuration
#Configuration
#EnableJpaStores
#Import("org.springframework.content.rest.config.RestConfiguration.class")
public class ContentConfig {
// schema management
//
#Value("/org/springframework/content/jpa/schema-drop-mysql.sql")
private Resource dropContentTables;
#Value("/org/springframework/content/jpa/schema-mysql.sql")
private Resource createContentTables;
#Bean
DataSourceInitializer datasourceInitializer() {
ResourceDatabasePopulator databasePopulator =
new ResourceDatabasePopulator();
databasePopulator.addScript(dropContentTables);
databasePopulator.addScript(createContentTables);
databasePopulator.setIgnoreFailedDrops(true);
DataSourceInitializer initializer = new DataSourceInitializer();
initializer.setDataSource(dataSource());
initializer.setDatabasePopulator(databasePopulator);
return initializer;
}
}
To associate content, add Spring Content annotations to your account entity.
Item.java
#Entity
public class Item {
#Id
#GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String name;
private Integer price;
// replace #Lob field with
#ContentId
private String contentId;
#ContentLength
private long contentLength = 0L;
// if you have rest endpoints
#MimeType
private String mimeType = "text/plain";
}
Create a "store":
ItemContentStore.java
#StoreRestResource(path="itemsContent)
public interface ItemContentStore extends ContentStore<Item, String> {
}
This is all you need to create REST endpoints # /itemsContent. When your application starts, Spring Content will look at your dependencies (seeing Spring Content JPA/REST), look at your ItemContentStore interface and inject an implementation of that interface for JPA. It will also inject a #Controller that forwards http requests to that implementation. This saves you having to implement any of this yourself whch I think is what you are after.
So...
For to access content through a Java API, auto-wire ItemContentStore and use its methods.
Or to access content through a REST API:
curl -X POST /itemsContent/{itemId}
with a multipart/form-data request will store the image in the database and associate it with the account entity whose id is itemId.
curl /itemsContent/{itemId}
will fetch it again and so on...supports full CRUD.
There are a couple of getting started guides here. The reference guide is here. And there is a tutorial video here. The coding bit starts about 1/2 way through.

JPA static metamodel classes in EclipseLink throw NullPointerException when accessing attributes

I have a problem with generated static metamodel classes in EclipseLink.
In my project I firstly generated static metamodel classed for my entities using:
1) org.hibernate.jpamodelgen.JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor and IntelliJ IDEA
and this classes have been generated to: target/generated-sources
Then I try to use such Hibernate generated metamodel classes (ex. below) with EclipseLink (GlassFish embedded), but lines of code that contains references to metamodel attributes throws NullPointerException exception:
SingularAttribute<Employee, String> descriptionAttr = Employee_.description;
predicates.add(criteriaBuilder.like(employee.get(descriptionAttr), "%" + description + "%"));
Here emploee.get( >> null << ) throws exception.
#Generated(value = "org.hibernate.jpamodelgen.JPAMetaModelEntityProcessor")
#StaticMetamodel(Employee.class)
public abstract class Employee_ extends pl.salonea.entities.NaturalPerson_ {
public static volatile SetAttribute<Employee, Skill> skills;
public static volatile SetAttribute<Employee, ProviderService> suppliedServices;
public static volatile SetAttribute<Employee, EmployeeRating> receivedRatings;
public static volatile SingularAttribute<Employee, String> description;
public static volatile SetAttribute<Employee, Education> educations;
public static volatile SingularAttribute<Employee, String> jobPosition;
public static volatile SetAttribute<Employee, TermEmployeeWorkOn> termsOnWorkStation;
}
2) Next I thought that this metamodel classes maybe are implementation specific. So I generated them analogically with EclipseLink using
org.eclipse.persistence.internal.jpa.modelgen.CanonicalModelProcessor and target/generated-sources-eclipselink (as on picture)
At the end I have something like this directory stracture with metamodel:
3) I am also using in build.gradle such configuration to as I think include this generated sources in project:
if(hasProperty('jboss')) {
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir 'target/generated-sources/'
}
}
}
} else {
sourceSets {
main {
java {
srcDir 'target/generated-sources-eclipselink/'
}
}
}
}
This way I want to use Hibernate generated classes with Jboss and EclipseLink generated classes with EclipseLink.
4) Such configuration works only if running on WilfFly/Hibernate but not on GlassFish/EclipseLink here is this NullPointerException
5) In persistence.xml I have more over EclipseLink generation using such property for one Persistence Unit
<property name="eclipselink.canonicalmodel.subpackage" value="metamodel" />
and such property for second Persistence Unit (to avoid duplicate conflict)
<property name="eclipselink.canonicalmodel.subpackage" value="metamodel_local" />
But I'm trying not to use this generation. It is in subpackage and in my code I only import previously generated metamodel classes.
The reason is that I would like to have in the same namespace metamodel classes generated by Hibernate/Eclipse and use them appropriately.
However if Hibernate generated metamodel classes could be also work with EclipseLink there won't be problem to using only one generation.
6) Moreover I cant use metamodel classes generated by EclipseLink persistence.xml property as they are regenerated each time I run/build my project. And I need in my code to manually modify two metamodel classes as they are inherited from single abstract metamodel class. Here I am overriding in subclasses AbstractType with ConcreteType on SetAttribute of metamodel class.
7) At the end I paste error I'm getting while running integration test with such configuration of metamodel classes

It would be good if you'll file a bug against EclipseLink on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/enter_bug.cgi?product=EclipseLink
Component is JPA. Please copy-paste this description there and provide some test-case (sample application with this metamodel) to let us reproduce it and develop some fix.
The problem can be in the failed initialization Canonical Metamodel.
You can investigate yours eclipselink log for checking something like that:
Could not load the field named [...] on the class [...]
IllegalArgumentException: Can not set static ... field ... to ...
In my case after fixing initialization, NPE had gone.
I know this is an old ticket but i still wanted to let you guys know how we fixed the problem. Especially the last nullpointer exception.
The problem is that your entitimanager is not loaded when you are using your Criteriabuilder for the first time.
To solve this problem you can set following in you persistence.xml
<property name="eclipselink.deploy-on-startup" value="true" />

Issues with updating a JPA entity from a Spring mvc controller method and using hidden input fields to store an ID

Say I have an entity/javabean that has a substantial number of properties.
Furthermore, I have a html form (in jsp or thymeleaf) that I use to update that entity.
As my application stands here is how I proceed to update the entity:
I set the JPA ID of the entity in a hidden html field in the form
in the Spring controller, I retrieve the entity from the database using that hidden ID
still in the controller method I then set each field of the previously retrieved entity using the fields of the spring mvc ModelAttribute passed as an argument to the controller method.
I then persist/update the entity using the entityManager.
Here is a sample from my controller method:
#RequestMapping(value = "/family/advertisement/edit", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "text/html")
public String editFamilyAdvertisement(#ModelAttribute #Validated(value = Validation.AdvertisementCreation.class) FamilyAdvertisement familyAdvertisement,
BindingResult bindingResult, Model model) {
FamilyAdvertisement advertisementForUpdate = advertisementService.findFamilyAdvertisement(familyAdvertisement.getId());
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
populateModel(model, familyAdvertisement);
return "family/advertisement/edit";
}
advertisementForUpdate.setNeeds(familyAdvertisement.getNeeds());
advertisementForUpdate.setChildcareTypes(familyAdvertisement.getChildcareTypes());
advertisementForUpdate.setDayToTimeSlots(familyAdvertisement.getDayToTimeSlots());
...
advertisementService.editFamilyAdvertisement(advertisementForUpdate);
return "redirect:/some/url";
}
I have two problems with the application as it currently stands:
Firstly a clever hacker can easily tamper with the ID and update someone else's advertisement.
Secondly, I have to update each field of the attached entity manually using those from the spring mvc model attribute: this is tedious and ugly.
Can anyone please suggest a better pattern or solution?
edit 1: I followed the provided advice.
Here is my modified controller method:
#RequestMapping(value = "/family/advertisement/edit", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "text/html")
public String editFamilyAdvertisement(#ModelAttribute #Validated(value = Validation.AdvertisementCreation.class) FamilyAdvertisementInfo familyAdvertisementInfo,
BindingResult bindingResult, Model model) {
Member member = memberService.retrieveCurrentMember();
FamilyAdvertisement advertisementForCheck = advertisementService.findFamilyAdvertisement(familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement().getId());
if (!member.getAdvertisements().contains(advertisementForCheck)) {
throw new IllegalStateException("advertisement does not belong to member");
}
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
populateModel(model, familyAdvertisementInfo);
return "family/advertisement/edit";
}
advertisementService.editFamilyAdvertisement(familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement());
return "redirect:/family/advertisement/edit/" + familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement().getId();
}
You see that I have to fetch the Family advertisement entity from db in order to check it belongs to the current member in session. Then when I try to save the entity as advised I get a StaleObjectStateException as follows:
SEVERE: Servlet.service() for servlet [bignibou] in context with path [/bignibou] threw exception [Request processing failed; nested exception is org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaOptimisticLockingFailureException: org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [com.bignibou.domain.FamilyAdvertisement#1]; nested exception is javax.persistence.OptimisticLockException: org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [com.bignibou.domain.FamilyAdvertisement#1]] with root cause

edit 2: the issue I have if I don't fetch the entity from the db, is that the above call to contains is always going to evaluate to false because it uses the equals method internally and the entity may have changed (after all that's the purpose of the method).
if (!member.getAdvertisements().contains(familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement())) {
throw new IllegalStateException("advertisement does not belong to member");
}
edit 3:
I still have the same issue with the StaleObjectStateException because it seems that my controller method does two saves/transactions.
#RequestMapping(value = "/family/advertisement/edit", method = RequestMethod.POST, produces = "text/html")
public String editFamilyAdvertisement(#ModelAttribute #Validated(value = Validation.AdvertisementCreation.class) FamilyAdvertisementInfo familyAdvertisementInfo,
BindingResult bindingResult, Model model) {
Member member = memberService.retrieveCurrentMember();//ONE
if (!advertisementService.advertisementBelongsToMember(familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement(), member)) {
throw new IllegalStateException("advertisement does not belong to member");
}
if (bindingResult.hasErrors()) {
populateModel(model, familyAdvertisementInfo);
return "family/advertisement/edit";
}
familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement().setMember(member);
advertisementService.editFamilyAdvertisement(familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement());//TWO
return "redirect:/family/advertisement/edit/" + familyAdvertisementInfo.getFamilyAdvertisement().getId();
}
See exception:
org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [com.bignibou.domain.FamilyAdvertisement#1]

First question: when you retrieve the entity from the database, specify the id and the user. If no entity is found with the id and the user, it means that the user doesn't own the entity.
Second question: several solutions, depending of your requierements
Expose your entity directly instead of a dedicated form object
Encapsulate your entity in the form and use delegate methods (your IDE can generate them)
Use Dozer

Using #EJB injection in an Application Client, both in same EAR

I've searched now for days to find some solution for my, in my opinion not too hard but obviously unsolvable problem.
I have an EAR project containing Some EJB, a web client (works fine) and now I added an Application Client Module.
As everything is in the same project, I thought a simple #EJB injection in the main class of the application client would do. I also tried a JNDI lookup.
I use eclipse and glassfish as a server and tried to run the application 1. in eclipse (there my injected bean is just null) and 2. downloaded the client-stub from the glassfish administration and tried to start it with sh appclient -client (or -jar) OmazanClient.jar (and also the other two jars hidden in the client-stub folder). There I get mostly a "ClassNotFoundExeption:Main" like
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Main

So for the injection, my code looks like:
public class Main {
#EJB (mappedName="ejb/customerBean")
public static CustomerInterface customerBean;
#EJB (mappedName="ejb/productBean")
public static ProductInterface productBean;
public static void main(String[] args) {
try{
Main m = new Main();
m.runDialog();
}
catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
/* (non-Java-doc)
* #see java.lang.Object#Object()
*/
public Main() {
super();
}
private void runDialog() throws Exception{
System.out.println("Test");
List<ProductDTO> productList = productBean.getAllProducts();
...
My remote interface looks like this:
#Remote
public interface ProductInterface {
public int addProduct(String productName);
public void deleteProduct(int prodid);
public void updateProduct(int prodid, String newName);
List<ProductDTO> getAllProducts();
...
My implementation is this:
/**
* Session Bean implementation productInterface
* */
#Stateless(mappedName="ejb/productBean")
#LocalBean
#WebService
public class ProductBean implements ProductInterface {
#EJB ProductEAO eao;
#EJB Conversion conv;
/**
* Default constructor.
*/
public ProductBean() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
}
#Override
public int addProduct(String prodName) {
return eao.addProduct(prodName);
}
#Override
public List<ProductDTO> getAllProducts() {
List<ProductDTO> result = new ArrayList<ProductDTO>();
List<Product> allProducts = eao.allProducts();
for (Product pr : allProducts) {
ProductDTO ci = conv.fromProduct(pr);
result.add(ci);
}
return result;
}
... and so on (all methods required by the interface are implemented, just try to keep it shorter here)
and the MANIFEST.MF is just
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Main-Class: Main
I've tried a lot like JNDI lookup, giving the bean names (see example) etc. But either the interface is not found (lookup) or the bean simply null.
How ever I am also not quite sure how to run the application client. I thought glassfishs appclient is the right starting point? It shall be a console-interaction so no swing components or anything similar.
Now I'd be thankful for any suggestions what I might have missed.
Cheers :)
Found a solution. Somehow, JNDI works now. Another problem was that my db query returned an Object and not primitive value or string - this caused a buffer error.
However, I am still confused on how to export an run an application client correctly. Maybe someone has an idea?!
There is a good example here: Create and Run a JEE6 Client Application with Netbeans 6.8 and Glassfish V3 - Part 2: Enhancing and Deploying the Application. It is a few years old, but it does give a pretty good overview.
