Set keep-alive in HttpClient in Spring xml - httpclient

We are using the apache HttpClient library to manage a pool of connections for some Java remoting.
Looking at the TCP traffic, it appears that the keep-alive flag is NOT being set, and our firewall is chopping off these connections.
Our spring config looks like this:
<bean name="httpClient" class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpClient">
<property name="timeout" value="${pdcCreditCheck.maxTimeout}"/>
<property name="httpConnectionManager" ref="remotingConnectionManger"/>
</bean>
<bean id="remotingConnectionManger"
class="org.apache.commons.httpclient.MultiThreadedHttpConnectionManager">
<property name="maxTotalConnections" value="5"/>
<property name="maxConnectionsPerHost" value="5"/>
</bean>
I was hoping that there might be some flag I could set here, which corresponds to the TCP keep-alive flag.
Any help would be appreciated.

You might try to use the JVM flag http.keepAlive. For more info:

StrategySelectionException using HikariCP with hibernate

I am new to hibernate, and I have been tasked with changing the ConnectionProvider from the hibernate default CP to either Hikari (preferred) or C3P0 in a legacy Java application that does not use maven as a repository. The database is PostgreSQL. The hibernate version is hibernate-release-5.2.10.Final. I have added hibernate-hikaricp-5.2.10.Final.jar to the classpath.
I have a pre-existing xml configuration file for hibernate. This has been working for several years, but the project wants to change to a "production ready connection pool". I have added/modified properties for the connection provider as follows:
<property name="hibernate.connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.minimumIdle">5</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize">20</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.idleTimeout">30000</property>
I am getting the following StrategySelectionException (long stack trace reduced to exceptions/causes ... more information available if necessary).
Exception in thread "DatabaseCache initialize thread" org.hibernate.service.spi.ServiceException: Unable to
create requested service [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.connections.spi.ConnectionProvider]
...
Caused by: org.hibernate.boot.registry.selector.spi.StrategySelectionException: Unable to resolve name [org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider] as strategy [org.hibernate.engine.jdbc.connections.spi.ConnectionProvider]
I made one other change, after first seeing the exception. I added the following property, but it made no difference.
<property name="hibernate.implicit_naming_strategy">default</property>
The full configuration, with some information provided as variables replaced during build, is:
<hibernate-configuration>
<session-factory>
<property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
<property name="hibernate.implicit_naming_strategy">default</property>

<property name="hibernate.connection.provider_class">org.hibernate.hikaricp.internal.HikariCPConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.minimumIdle">5</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.maximumPoolSize">20</property>
<property name="hibernate.hikari.idleTimeout">30000</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.username">${db_user_name}</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.password"></property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.url">${db_connection_url}</property>
<property name="hibernate.hbm2ddl.auto">none</property>
<property name="hibernate.connection.autocommit">false</property>
<property name="hibernate.bytecode.use_reflection_optimizer">false</property>

<property name="hibernate.generate_statistics">false</property> <!-- This affects performance, use only in development -->
<property name="show_sql">false</property>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
Any strategies :D to address this would be welcome. Thanks.

propagation NOT_SUPPORTED creates failing transaction in JDBC when using ChainedTransactionManager (JDBC + JPA)

I'm working on an existing Spring application that uses JDBC (DAO's extend NamedParameterJdbcDaoSupport). There were four datasources configured, each with it's own DataSourceTransactionManager. (though only one was registered with tx:annotation-driven for some reason)
I've recently added JPA (Spring-data-JPA) into the application and configured two entityManagerFactories (for now I don't need the other two datasources). I also configured two JpaTransactionManagers and removed the corresponding DataSourceTransactionManagers for these dataSources, since the JpaTransactionManagers can also be used for JDBC transactions. (correct me if I'm wrong)
It appears I need to be able to have distributed transactions, since the two datasources (to two different databases) need to be accessed (through JPA) in one service method. Since I did not have all I need to set up JTA (missing XA-driver for one of the databases) I've decided to give the Spring ChainedTransactionManager a try. Sadly this didn't work out as expected. All works fine if I just call a service method that only uses JPA.
Though when I call an existing service method that uses a JDBC find that has a class level #transactional annotation with it's propagation set to NOT_SUPPORTED and call another service method after that with a JPA call and a #transactional, I get an exception:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Already value [org.springframework.jdbc.datasource.ConnectionHolder#462cf9d9] for key [org.jboss.jca.adapters.jdbc.WrapperDataSource#3fbb4c32] bound to thread [http-/127.0.0.1:8080-5]
at org.springframework.transaction.support.TransactionSynchronizationManager.bindResource(TransactionSynchronizationManager.java:189) [spring-tx-3.2.5.RELEASE.jar:3.2.5.RELEASE]
at org.springframework.orm.jpa.JpaTransactionManager.doBegin(JpaTransactionManager.java:403) [spring-orm-3.2.5.RELEASE.jar:3.2.5.RELEASE]
After some debugging, I found out that the transactions in Spring get added to a map on a ThreadLocal in the "TransactionSynchronizationManager.bindResource" method. The problem is that when using a JDBC call with #transactional and propogation NOT_SUPPORTED, a transaction is made anyway and registered through that method. When the JpaTransactionManager tries to bind it's resource, it is already on the map (and not marked as void) which causes the error to occur.
Changing the propagation to the default "REQUIRED" for the service call that encapsulates the JDBC call fixes the problem.
I have no idea why Spring is still creating that transaction when the transactional annotation is NOT_SUPPORTED. And if it creates that transaction, it should not bypass the JpaTransactionManager.
So what I'd like to know is if there is some way to tell Spring to use the JpaTransactionManager also when it creates a transaction itself inside the NamedParameterJdbcDaoSupport. (Well actually the JdbcDaoSupport... Well actually the DataSourceUtils)
We're using Spring 3.2.5, spring-data-jpa 1.6.0 and I've used Hibernate 4.2.0 as JpaVendor.
This problem doesn't occur without the ChainedTransactionManager.

<bean id="chainedTransactionManager" class="org.springframework.data.transaction.ChainedTransactionManager">

<property name="dataSource" ref="dataSourceUnisys"/>
<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="unisysPU"/>

<property name="persistenceUnitName" value="mysqlPU"/>
<property name="jpaVendorAdapter" ref="jpaVendorAdapter"/>
<property name="jpaProperties">
<!-- properties -->
</property>
</bean>
For now I've "fixed" this, by changing all the class-level transactional annotations to have propagation.REQUIRED (default) instead of NOT_SUPPORTED. Though I do not really like this solutions, since it might be somebody set those propagations to NOT_SUPPORTED with a good reason. I've also tried SUPPORTED, but using that had the same issue as NOT_SUPPORTED: a transaction was being made anyway by the Spring DataSourceUtils when the query was being executed by the NamedParameterJdbcDaoSupport DAO.
When no transactional annotation is set on the service, all works well too.

Spring Integration: Mail error and HTTP gateway response

My use case is simple. I want to handle an exception caused by a system being unreachable, perform a retry based upon a configured retry policy, send an email when the retry threshold has been met, and return a custom response back the caller.
The challenges I am facing is that I cannot both send an email and return a response back to the caller. Since I was using a int-mail:outbound-channel-adapter initially, I would expect this behavior since this is a one-way component:
<int:chain input-channel="defaultErrorChannel">
<int:service-activator id="mailMessageActivator" expression="#mailHandler.process(payload)" />
<int-mail:outbound-channel-adapter mail-sender="mailSender" />
</int:chain>
However, if I introduce a int-amqp:outbound-gateway in front of the int-mail:outbound-channel-adapter (see the Error Handling config below), I would expect to be able to invoke a int:service-activator to construct and return a response to the caller.
Am I thinking about this the wrong way? I see that someone else had a similar question which is still unanswered. Both of the configurations I mentioned send emails, but always block from the caller without receiving a response upon timeout.
Here are the relevant parts of my configuration:
Gateway
<int:gateway id="customerGateway" service-interface="com.uscs.crm.integration.CustomerGateway"
default-request-channel="syncCustomers" default-reply-channel="replySyncCustomers" default-reply-timeout="30000">

</rabbit:bindings>

SOLUTION: I was able to get this working with help from #Artem. Below are the changes I made.
Service Activator Implementation (handling ErrorMessage)
The key is the line which returns the reconstructed Message with all of the header information from the ErrorMessage.
#Override
public Message<CustSyncResponseVO> process(Message<MessagingException> errorMessage) {
MessagingException errorException = errorMessage.getPayload();
CustSyncResponseVO custSyncResponse = new CustSyncResponseVO();
custSyncResponse.setResponseMessage(ExceptionUtils
.convertToString(errorMessage.getPayload()));
return MessageBuilder.withPayload(custSyncResponse)
.copyHeaders(errorMessage.getHeaders())
.copyHeadersIfAbsent(errorException.getFailedMessage().getHeaders()).build();
}
Service Activator Config
Used SpEL to reference the #root context to retrieve the ErrorMessage instead of the default which would be MessagingException (payload) and passed it to my process method on the POJO.
<bean id="custSyncResponseHandler" class="com.uscs.crm.integration.handler.CustSyncResponseHandler" />
<int:chain id="errorGatewayResponseChain" input-channel="defaultErrorChannel" output-channel="replySyncCustomers">
<int:service-activator id="custSyncResponseActivator" expression="#custSyncResponseHandler.process(#root)" />
</int:chain>
I don't see reason to introduce the AMQP middleware complexity there just for sending email in the end.
What only you need is <publish-subscribe-channel id="defaultErrorChannel"> with to endpoints as subscribers to it.
The first one is one-way email sending <chain> and the second one is custSyncResponseActivator to reply something to your <int-http:outbound-gateway>.
You can find more info on the matter in the Spring Integration Reference Manual.

apache restlet connector overload

I use restlet in camel route in from("restlet:http/myLink") clause. When user's requests more then ten per second, I begin recieve errors processing request like a "org.restlet.engine.connector.Controller run
INFO: Connector overload detected. Stop accepting new work"
I think, that error is caused by number of threads,request query's size or number,or something like that. I try set to maxThreads param different values in spring config
<bean id="restlet" class="org.apache.camel.component.restlet.RestletComponent">
<property name="maxThreads" value="15"/>
</bean>
but I am not succeed. In documentation http://camel.apache.org/restlet.html I ddin't find ant param for setting size\number of request queue. I need help :(
P.S. camel-restlet version is 2.12.2
Update
I try to set big numbers to maxThreads,maxConnectionsPerHost,maxTotalConnections, but it's useless. If inject org.restlet.Component to camel's config like that:
<bean id="restletComponent" class="org.restlet.Component" />
<bean id="restlet" class="org.apache.camel.component.restlet.RestletComponent">
<constructor-arg index="0">
<ref bean="restletComponent" />
</constructor-arg>
<property name="maxThreads" value="255"/>
<property name="maxConnectionsPerHost" value="1000"/>
<property name="maxTotalConnections" value="1000" />
</bean>
How I can override properties, that use BaseHelper params?
After go through the options of lowThread as well.
But I found current released camel doesn't support it.

Cannot start HornetQ without JMS and JNDI

If I run HornetQ with config\stand-alone\non-clustered config files, the HornetQ server starts up fine.
If I remove the JNDI and JMS sections from the hornetq-beans.xml file:
<!-- JNDI server. Disable this if you don't want JNDI -->
<bean name="JNDIServer" class="org.jnp.server.Main">
<property name="namingInfo">
<inject bean="Naming"/>
</property>
<property name="port">1099</property>
<property name="bindAddress">localhost</property>
<property name="rmiPort">1098</property>
<property name="rmiBindAddress">localhost</property>
</bean>
AND
<!-- The JMS server -->
<bean name="JMSServerManager" class="org.hornetq.jms.server.impl.JMSServerManagerImpl">
<constructor>
<parameter>
<inject bean="HornetQServer"/>
</parameter>
</constructor>
</bean>
I get the server dying immediately. This is the output I get:
