Override Built-in Principal Bean - java-ee-6

In Java EE 6, there is a built in bean type javax.security.Principal which is available for injection like #Inject Principal principal;.
This is by default and I'm wondering if there is a way to change it, say, by supplying a producer method instead.
As it stands, writing a producer method will cause a deployment exception.
Example Producer:
my.package;
import javax.security.Principal;
public class MyProducer {
...
#Produces
public Principal obtainPrincipal() {
return getMyPrincipal();
}
}
The exception:
org.jboss.weld.exceptions.DeploymentException: WELD-001409 Ambiguous dependencies for type [Principal] with qualifiers [#Default] at injection point [[parameter 1] of [constructor] #Inject public my.package.MyType(Principal, SomeOtherType)]. Possible dependencies [[Producer Method [Principal] with qualifiers [#Any #Default] declared as [[method] #Produces #SessionScoped protected my.package.MyProducer.obtainPrincipal()], Built-in Bean [java.security.Principal] with qualifiers [#Default]]]

So the question is - is there any way to replace the default built in types in CDI?
To give you an idea of why I need this, my project is switching from JAAS to Apache Shiro. There is a good amount of existing code that does something based on the injected principal. Shiro in a web environment however, only wraps the HttpServlet request / response and overrides the appropriate security related methods. That however does not propagate to CDI, which in that case always returns the anonymous principal.
Update
I also tried the following:
my.package;
import javax.security.Principal;
#Alternative
public class MyPrincipal implements Principal {
...
#Override
public String getName() {
return getMyPrincipalName();
}
}
Then enabling the alternative in beans.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaeehttp://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd">
<alternatives>
<class>my.package.MyPrincipal</class>
</alternatives>
</beans>
In this case, there are no deployment errors, but the injected principal is still the default one, not my enabled alternative.

The guys at Weld helped me out. My deployment structure was something like:
-- app.war
|-- module0.jar (beans.xml)
|-- module1.jar (beans.xml)
|-- ...
|-- other-lib.jar
But in CDI 1.0, alternatives are anabled per bean archive only. So, adding
<alternatives>
<class>my.package.MyPrincipal</class>
</alternatives>
in each beans.xml makes it all work.

Spring Boot Geode Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'sessionRegion'

The correct dependencies for my gradle.build are driving me crazy!
In order to access an Apache Geode 1.10 server, I am using:
// Geode client dependency
implementation 'org.springframework.geode:spring-geode-starter:1.2.13.RELEASE'
implementation 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-geode:2.2.12.RELEASE'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat:2.2.13.RELEASE'
This fails with the error:

What is there to tell me the dependency missing for the UnsatisfiedDependencyException for 'ClusteredSpringSessions'?
If I remove the #EnableGemFireHttpSession annotation then I get the error

UPDATE The App is run like Spring Boot #ComponentScan finds candidate component class but does not inject #Configuration beans but more specifically
#SpringBootApplication
#ComponentScan({"api", "rsocket", "pricing", "listeners", "dealing", "web"}) // scans packages for # components
#EnableLogging(logLevel="debug", logFile="geodeApi.log")
public class Api {
private static final Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(Api.class);
public static void main(String[] args) {
log.info("In Main");
SpringApplication app = new SpringApplication(Api.class);
app.setWebApplicationType(WebApplicationType.REACTIVE);
SpringApplication.run(Api.class, args);
log.info("Out Main");
}
}
The component scan finds various #Component annotated classes for example
#Component
#EnableClusterDefinedRegions(clientRegionShortcut=ClientRegionShortcut.PROXY)
public class ClientCache {
private static final Logger log = LogManager.getLogger(ClientCache.class);
#Resource
private Region<String, String> admin;
#Autowired
LQuote lQuote;
#Autowired
LReject lReject;
#Autowired
LDeal lDeal;
#Autowired
DealNumber dealNumber;
#Autowired
PriceService priceService;
#PreDestroy
public void onDestroy() throws Exception {
log.info("onDestroy");
String guid = UUID.randomUUID().toString().substring(0, 8).toUpperCase();
admin.put(guid, "API Shutdown");
// TODO: Cancel all open quote streams
log.traceExit();
}
#Bean
ApplicationRunner StartedUp(){
log.traceEntry("StartedUp");
return args -> {
String guid = UUID.randomUUID().toString().substring(0, 8).toUpperCase();
admin.put(guid, "API Started");
lQuote.addListener();
lReject.addListener();
lDeal.addListener();
// Get latest deal number
int currentId = dealNumber.readCurrentId();
// Set it + 1 in case the web server was reboot on the fly
priceService.setCurrentId(currentId + 1);
log.traceExit();
};
}
A lot of the problem was using Java JDK version 15.
The correct versions require Java 11.
// Geode client dependency
implementation 'org.springframework.geode:spring-geode-starter:1.2.8.RELEASE'
implementation 'org.springframework.data:spring-data-geode:2.2.8.RELEASE'
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat'
Technically, it is not necessary to explicitly declare the SDG dependency.
The SBDG dependency (i.e. org.springframework.geode:spring-geode-starter) already includes SDG (org.springframework.data:spring-data-geode). You can follow the dependency trail starting here, then here and finally, here.
As the Version Compatibility Matrix for SBDG specifies, SBDG 1.2.13.RELEASE specifically includes, and is based on, SDG 2.2.12.RELEASE (already), which is (technically) based on Apache Geode 1.9.2.
However, if you need to use Apache Geode 1.10, then you could (recommended) simply declare dependency management to enforce the use of Apache Geode 1.10 in your Gradle build:
plugins {
id 'org.springframework.boot' version '2.2.13.RELEASE'
id 'io.spring.dependency-management' version '1.0.10.RELEASE'
id 'java'
}
dependencyManagement {
dependencies {
dependency 'org.apache.geode:geode-core:1.10.0'
dependency 'org.apache.geode:geode-cq:1.10.0'
dependency 'org.apache.geode:geode-lucene:1.10.0'
dependency 'org.apache.geode:geode-wan:1.10.0'
}
}
dependencies {
implementation 'org.springframework.geode:spring-geode-starter:1.2.13.RELEASE`
implementation 'org.springframework.boot:spring-boot-starter-tomcat'
}
...
WARNING: SDG 2.2.12.RELEASE is officially based on Apache Geode 1.9.2, and though it should work reasonably well with Apache Geode 1.10, there could expectedly be limitations in certain use cases.
This is not unlike what Spring Initializer conveniently generates for you. Of course, Spring Initializer now uses the new SBDG BOM that makes managing individual SBDG module dependencies even easier, which is not unlike how Spring Boot's dependency management manages transitive dependencies, including 3rd party libs.
Regarding the Exceptions...
It really seems to me like you are having configuration problems rather than dependency problems, actually.
Of course, it is hard to say for certain given you shared very minimal Gradle build configuration and no code snippets from your Spring Boot application configuration, only mentions and what I am able to derive from the Exception messages. So, for now, I'll proceed based on what you provided and what I know or could derive.
Looking at this part of the (first) Exception message:
Error creating bean with name 'ClusteredSpringSessions' defined in class path resource
[org/springframework/session/data/gemfire/config/annotation/web/http/GemFireHttpSessionConfiguration.class]:
Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'sessionRegion' parameter 0
And, specifically:
Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'sessionRegion' parameter 0
This message refers to the (Spring Java) configuration provided by SSDG and imported/auto-configured by SBDG.
The "Unsatisfied dependency", or "parameter 0", is the 1st method parameter in the sessionRegion(..) (Spring JavaConfig-based) #Bean definition method declared in SSDG's configuration. It is the dependency on the GemFire cache instance (e.g. ClientCache) required to create the "ClusteredSpringSessions" Region.
So now, the question becomes, how is the cache created?
Well, this is what the framework is trying to do next... resolve the cache bean dependency (instance reference), which necessary triggers the cache creation first (due to dependency order)...
Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.ClientCacheConfiguration':
Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessError
We see that an IllegalAccessError occurred (O.o) which already smells like a version problem to me, but...
The ClientCacheConfiguration is provided by SDG.
Finally, we arrive at the underlying cause...
class org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.AbstractCacheConfiguration$$Lambda$703/0x0000000801025d10
tried to access protected method 'boolean org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport.hasValue(java.lang.Number)'
NOTE: ClientCacheConfiguration extends AbstractCacheConfiguration, which extends AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport, and therefore should have "access" to the protected hasValue(:Number) method.
The main Thread appears to be in one of these Lambdas where the AbstractAnnotationConfig.hasValue(:Number) method is used.
I am no entirely sure what this means...
org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.AbstractCacheConfiguration$$Lambda$703/0x0000000801025d10
and org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport are in unnamed module of loader 'app'
Are you possibly using Spring Boot's new (Layered) Docker Image support by chance?
The 2nd Exception message (involving the cacheManager bean this time) leads to the same outcome, actually. It is no different, but simply involves another bean (i.e. cacheManager bean) with the same dependency on the cache instance:
Error creating bean with name 'cacheManager' defined in class path resource
[org/springframework/data/gemfire/cache/config/GemfireCachingConfiguration.class]
: Unsatisfied dependency expressed through method 'cacheManager' parameter 0;
nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException:
Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.ClientCacheConfiguration':
Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessError:
class org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.AbstractCacheConfiguration$$Lambda$679/0x00000008010306b8
tried to access protected method 'boolean org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport.hasValue(java.lang.Number)'
(org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.AbstractCacheConfiguration$$Lambda$679/0x00000008010306b8
and org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
And, specifically:
Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalAccessError:
tried to access protected method 'boolean org.springframework.data.gemfire
.config.annotation.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport
.hasValue(java.lang.Number)'
And:
(org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.AbstractCacheConfiguration$$Lambda$679/0x00000008010306b8
and org.springframework.data.gemfire.config.annotation.support.AbstractAnnotationConfigSupport
are in unnamed module of loader 'app')
I am not familiar with this error messages (basically, said class(es) "are in unnamed module of loader 'app'.") What?
How is this Spring Boot app being run?
Definitely providing a sample app, one or more tests, your configuration, logs, Stack Traces in addition to Exception messages, setup, runtime environment, etc, etc, will go along way in trying to understand the context of this problem.
At this point, I am really trying to point you in a direction to start untangling the problem.
Sorry, I cannot (currently) be of more help in this case.

Unable to autowire the Processor after adding User-defined message converters

On Finchley.SR2, here is the code
#Configuration
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#SpringBootApplication
#EnableBinding(Processor.class)
#RestController
public class Application {
private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
#Autowired
private Processor processor;
#Autowired
MappingJackson2MessageConverter testConverter;
#Bean
#StreamMessageConverter
MappingJackson2MessageConverter createTestConverter(){
return new MappingJackson2MessageConverter();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
When I start up, I got
Caused by: org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'org.springframework.cloud.stream.messaging.Processor' available: expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate. Dependency annotations: {#org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired(required=true)}
But if I take out #StreamMessageConverter, the Processor can be autowired successfully.
What should I do to keep my customized message converter and autowired Processor at the same time? Thanks!
There is a lot going on there, so lets try to parse it put. . .
First question, why do you need to autowire the following?
#Autowired
private Processor processor;
You, generally don't need to interact with Processor directly since it is used bt the framework to provide a delegation/connectivity model between remote destinations exposed by the binders and your message handlers
Further more, your actual issue is related to a lifecycle which may be a minor yet harmless bug on our end and probably relates to configuring and autowiring Processor in the same configuration class.
Second:
#Configuration
#EnableAutoConfiguration
#SpringBootApplication
You only need one
#SpringBootApplication
Third:
Why do you need to configure MappingJackson2MessageConverter? Content type conversion is a transparent feature of he framework and while we do provide an ability to configure custom message converters, the one you are configuring is already configured by the framework and in fact is the first in the stack of seven pre-configured message converters
The final question:
What is it that your are trying to do? Can you explain your use case?

Cglib proxy errors using and Spring Data when moving from Spring XD M5 to Release 1.0.0

We're moving a number of batch jobs from Spring XD M5 to the 1.0.0 release.

The Spring Data repository interface is annotated with #Repository as follows:
#Repository
public interface DatasetRepository extends GraphRepository<Dataset>
{
public Dataset findOneById(String id);
public Dataset findOneByName(String name);
}
And the corresponding autowired attribute in our bean class which triggers the exception:
#Autowired
private DatasetRepository datasetRepo;
The bean itself is defined in our XD job XML as follows:
<bean id="myBean" class="com.mycompany.MyBean"/>
And the configuration bean (component scanned in the job cfg XML):
#Configuration
#EnableNeo4jRepositories({ "com.mycompany.repositories" })
public class CustomNeo4jConfiguration implements InitializingBean
The versions of Spring Data Neo4J which we deploy into the XD lib folder are as follows:
spring-data-neo4j : 3.2.0.RELEASE
spring-data-neo4j-rest : 3.2.0.RELEASE
The setup is all on a dev PC (for now) with XD running in distributed mode:
redis server
Zookeeper server (1x)
Oracle job repository (local XE instance for now)
1x admin and 1x container
Any help around configuration of the job, Spring Data repository or XD container would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Remove the #Repository annotation on your GraphRepository and you should be fine. Don't forget to enable component scanning.

Interceptors are not intercepting

I am having problems setting up a Java EE 6 CDI interceptors. I am using embedded glassfish, I have specified the interceptor in beans.xml in the web application.
<beans
xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/beans_1_0.xsd">
<interceptors>
<class>ServiceInterceptor</class>
</interceptors>
</beans>
I am trying to secure this bean:
#Named
//#Stateless
#RequestScoped
public class SecuredMethodJSFBean /*implements Serializable*/{
#Inject
protected SecuredMethodSample securedMethodSample;
/*
#CurrentUser
#SessionScoped
#Inject
protected RuntimePrincipalAware principal;
//protected JSFLoginBean jsfLoginBean;
*/
public SecuredMethodJSFBean()
{
super();
System.out.println("creating secured method jsf bean");
}
#Secured("adfadfafd")
public void doSomething()
{
//System.out.println("\n\n\n\nprincipal:" + principal);
//System.out.println("principal:" + jsfLoginBean.getPrincipal());
//securedMethodSample.doSomething(jsfLoginBean.getPrincipal().getName());
//return(jsfLoginBean.getPrincipal().getName());
//securedMethodSample.doSomething(principal.getName());
//return(principal.getName());
//return("secured-method");
securedMethodSample.doSomething("testing ...");
}
}
What do I need to do to get my interceptors running?
Also, I am trying to use interceptors to intercept method invocations on beans used by servlets. Since those beans are beans, I should be able to intercept them. However, I am unable to do so. I was originally trying to intercept method invocations in servlets directly, but they're not CDI beans so that does not make sense.
Thanks,
Walter
"I have specified the interceptor in beans.xml in the web application"
Is #Secured defined in another project / jar? In that case you need to enable it in that beans.xml.
To answer my question better, I did the following:
I made the project ejb instead of jar (inside maven).
I created an ejb-jar.xml file specifying / declaring my interceptor (src/main/resources/META-INF).
in projects using this interceptor, I specified the type as ejb to it would pick it up correctly.

Configuring one ear to call remote ejb3 on another ear in JBoss

I am new to EJB3 and am missing something when it comes to accessing a #Remote #Stateless bean deployed as an ejb module inside an ear file. I want to access a remote bean in lima.ear from soup.ear.
Here is what I am doing now (somewhat abbreviated):
//deployed under lima.ear
#Remote
#Stateless
public interface LimaBean {
String sayName();
}
I want to put LimaBean in the Soup:
//deployed in soup.ear
#Stateless
public class Soup implements SoupLocal {
#EJB
private LimaBean limaBean;
public String taste() {
return limaBean.sayName();
}
}
When I start JBoss I get the following error:
java.lang.RuntimeException: could not resolve global JNDI name for #EJB for container Soup: reference class: com.example.LimaBean ejbLink: not used by any EJBs
I have had a hard time finding out what this ejbLink is about, if that is the right path to go down.
If I deploy LimaBean as a jar file in jboss then everything works great!
I ran accross an article that had a section called "2.5.3. References between beans in different jars and different ears"
(http://jonas.ow2.org/doc/howto/jboss2_4-to-jonas3_0/html/x111.html)
Example of jboss.xml file for SB_BrowseRegions:
<jboss>
<session>
<ejb-name>SB_BrowseRegions</ejb-name>
<ejb-ref>
<ejb-ref-name>ejb/Region</ejb-ref-name>
<jndi-name>protocol://serverName/directory/RegionHome</jndi-name>
</ejb-ref>
</session>
</jboss>
If I touch the soup.ear, after JBoss starts up then it deploys fine, so I am assuming I need to specify a dependency like the above article says.
But even after it deploys then I get an error when accessing the remote LimaBean:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Can not set com.soup.LimaBean field com.soup.Soup.limaBean to $Proxy147
at sun.reflect.UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.throwSetIllegalArgumentException(UnsafeFieldAccessorImpl.java:146)

at java.lang.reflect.Field.set(Field.java:657)
at org.jboss.injection.JndiFieldInjector.inject(JndiFieldInjector.java:115)
... 49 more
I have tried a few things but, if anyone can point me in the right direction about this I would appreciate it.
It looks like the JNDI properties need to be set as if it were a remote client outside of the app server because of the ear isolation we have setup.
properties.put(Context.PROVIDER_URL, url);
InitialContext ctx = new InitialContext(properties);
Just specify the URL for the InitialContext and that should do the trick.
