errors in GWT Hibernate program 2 - mysql

I manage to solve this problem getting hint from post stackoverflow post about GWT. The post tells that as JDBC shouldn'e be on client side, rather on server side.
I am trying to make a simple web application that adds a user to database using GWT RPC with Hibernate, MySql & eclipse IDE. I have already a simple version of hibernate program running & now I am trying to do same using GWT RPC.
Though probably there are certain different practices when using hibernate with RPC. Firstly I had to put jars/libs to war/web.inf/lib add before adding them to classpath, while I made a simple folder in src, put all jars/libraries to that & then added to classpath for simple hibernate app. It continues, compiler then raised error about unavailability of cfg.xml & mapping files which were in the hibernate files package(that contain pojo files). I moved them to src folder & error gone. But now error is about session creation. This time moving Util file to src did not work.
This is directory structure of my project:
src
hbm.xml
cfg.xml
hibDomain(hibernate package)
rppctest.client (GWT package)
rppctest.server (GWT package)
I am using MySQL on Windows 7.
Here are the error messages & my code.

Your hibernate class file (User) is in "hibDomain" package. where as the mapping you are making is for "com.hib.User". change this to hibDomain.User and it might work.

Null pointer while inserting in database

I need to set cookie and store cookie - key, value and timestamp in MYSQL.
Hence, i have a CookieUtil.java to set(addCookie) and get cookie. Then I created a CookieEntity.java and mapped it with a DAO layer - interface and implementation. I have nullpointer at int noOfRows = namedParameterJdbcTemplate.update(SQL,namedParameters);.
It seems namedParameterJdbcTemplate is null. But I really can't figure out why?
CookieEntity.java
import java.sql.Timestamp;
public class EWPCookieEntity {
private String key;
private String value;
private Timestamp timeStamp;
//.... setters and getters
}

public boolean saveCookie(CookieEntity reqCookie);

int noOfRows = namedParameterJdbcTemplate.update(SQL,namedParameters);
System.out.println(noOfRows);
logger.info("Cookie Details Saved: [ " + reqCookie.toString() + " ]");
return noOfRows > 0 ? true : false;

You can add <context:annotation-config /> in your root_context.xml to get #Autowired working.
Or you add <context:component-scan base-package="your.package"/> in root_context.xml if you plan to use annotations like #Service, #Component etc. The latter one has the first one already included.

#ManagedBean issues getting relational data

I have this weird problem that throws not really useful errors. I'm trying to display data from Entity Bean in Primefaces table. I have two projects, one for front end, other one for backend. Thing is, the Entity Bean has #OneToMany and #ManyToOne relation, and they seem to cause the problems, because if I null them no errors happen, but I need that data so it's not a solution.
BACKEND:
Key parts of entity:
#Entity
#Table(name = "business_process_tasks")
public class BusinessProcessTasks implements java.io.Serializable {
....
#ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.EAGER)
#JoinColumn(name="process")
public Process getProcess() {
return process;
}
public void setProcess(Process process) {
this.process = process;
}
#OneToMany(mappedBy = "processTask")
public List<BusinessProcessTasksMeta> getMeta() {
return meta;
}
public void setMeta(List<BusinessProcessTasksMeta> meta) {
this.meta = meta;
}
}
Key parts of EJB:
#Override
public List<BusinessProcessTasks> getList(int processId) {
EntityManager em = emf.createEntityManager();
String q = "SELECT t from " + BusinessProcessTasks.class.getName() + " t where process="+processId;
Query query = em.createQuery(q);
List<BusinessProcessTasks> items = query.getResultList();
for(int i = 0;i<items.size();i++){
BusinessProcessTasks t = (BusinessProcessTasks) items.get(i);
//IF I SET THESE TO NULL NO ERRORS SHOW
t.setProcess(null);
t.setMeta(null);
}
em.close();
return items;
}
FRONTEND:
Key parts of #ManagedBean:
#ManagedBean(name = "processTasksTableBean")
#ViewScoped
public class ProcessTasksTableBean {
.....
#PostConstruct
void initialiseSession() {
System.out.println("Bean running");
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getSession(true);
//GETTING ID FROM URL
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) FacesContext
.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getRequest();
pageProcessId = Integer.parseInt(request.getParameter("id"));
processTasksBeanRemote = doLookup();
//ONLY PLACE IN PROJECT WHERE ERROR IS REFERENCED IN CONSOLE IS HERE
processTasksList = processTasksBeanRemote.getList(pageProcessId);
}
.....
}
Eclipse console - log is very long, if required I will post it all, now just key parts:

Issue resolved, I downloaded latest Hibernate core from http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core/4.3.4.Final and all seems fine. Quite wierd, since I add my Jboss runtime libs to each project through build path.

Jackson fails to detect JAXB annotation even after adding the Object Mapper

I am trying to configure a simple example for REST service using CXF + Jackson with JaxB #XmlRootElement annotation. I have already gone through various similar questions in stack overflow as well as blogs like this and have come up with the below solution:
Created a custom object mapper as follows:
public class CustomObjectMapper extends ObjectMapper{
public CustomObjectMapper() {
super();
super.configure(SerializationConfig.Feature.WRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);
super.setSerializationInclusion(JsonSerialize.Inclusion.NON_NULL);
AnnotationIntrospector primary = new JaxbAnnotationIntrospector();
AnnotationIntrospector secondary = new JacksonAnnotationIntrospector();
AnnotationIntrospector pair = new AnnotationIntrospector.Pair(primary, secondary);
super.setAnnotationIntrospector(pair);
}
}
Passed this to Json provided's constructor in spring config
<bean id="jacksonMapper" class="com.myorg.test.CustomObjectMapper" />
<jaxrs:providers>
<bean class="org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJsonProvider">
<constructor-arg ref="jacksonMapper" />
</bean>
</jaxrs:providers>
Added a simple class JsonBean with JAXB Root element annotation
#XmlRootElement(name = "JsonBean")
public class JsonBean {
private String val1;
private String val2;
public String getVal1() {
return val1;
}
public void setVal1(String val1) {
this.val1 = val1;
}
public String getVal2() {
return val2;
}
public void setVal2(String val2) {
this.val2 = val2;
}
}
When I pass the below json,
{
"JsonBean": {
"val1": "Hello",
"val2": "Hi"
}
}
it's throwing below exception:

Am I missing something here? Please help.
I got it right.
I missed to add unwrap for de-serialization in the custom mapper:
added the below line in CustomObjectMaller
super.configure(DeserializationConfig.Feature.UNWRAP_ROOT_VALUE, true);
also, modified the spring config file as:
<jaxrs:providers>
<bean id="jsonProvider" class="org.codehaus.jackson.jaxrs.JacksonJaxbJsonProvider">
<property name="mapper" ref="jacksonMapper" />
</bean>
</jaxrs:providers>
It started working as expected..

Custom HttpMessageConverter with #ResponseBody to do Json things

I don't like Jackson.
I want to use ajax but with Google Gson.
So I'm trying to figure out how to implement my own HttpMessageConverter to use it with #ResponseBody annotation.
Can someone take a time to show me the way I should go? What configurations should I turn on?
Also I'm wondering if I can do this and still use <mvc:annotation-driven />?
Thanks in advance.
I've already asked it in Spring Community Foruns about 3 days ago with no answer so I'm asking here to see if I get a better chance.
Spring Community Forums link to my question
I've also made an exhaustive search on the web and found something interesting on this subject but it seems they're thinking to put it in Spring 3.1 and I'm still using spring 3.0.5:
Jira's Spring Improvement ask
Well... now I'm trying to debug Spring code to find out myself how to do this, but I'm having some problems like I've said here:
Spring Framework Build Error
If there is another way to do this and I'm missing it, please let me know.
Well... it was so hard to find the answer and I had to follow so many clues to incomplete information that I think it will be good to post the complete answer here. So it will be easier for the next one searching for this.
First I had to implement the custom HttpMessageConverter:
package net.iogui.web.spring.converter;
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.InputStream;
import java.io.InputStreamReader;
import java.io.Reader;
import java.io.StringWriter;
import java.io.Writer;
import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import org.springframework.http.HttpInputMessage;
import org.springframework.http.HttpOutputMessage;
import org.springframework.http.MediaType;
import org.springframework.http.converter.AbstractHttpMessageConverter;
import org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotReadableException;
import org.springframework.http.converter.HttpMessageNotWritableException;
import com.google.gson.Gson;
import com.google.gson.JsonSyntaxException;
public class GsonHttpMessageConverter extends AbstractHttpMessageConverter<Object> {
private Gson gson = new Gson();
public static final Charset DEFAULT_CHARSET = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
public GsonHttpMessageConverter(){
super(new MediaType("application", "json", DEFAULT_CHARSET));
}
#Override
protected Object readInternal(Class<? extends Object> clazz,
HttpInputMessage inputMessage) throws IOException, HttpMessageNotReadableException {
try{
return gson.fromJson(convertStreamToString(inputMessage.getBody()), clazz);
}catch(JsonSyntaxException e){
throw new HttpMessageNotReadableException("Could not read JSON: " + e.getMessage(), e);
}
}
#Override
protected boolean supports(Class<?> clazz) {
return true;
}
#Override
protected void writeInternal(Object t,
HttpOutputMessage outputMessage) throws IOException, HttpMessageNotWritableException {
//TODO: adapt this to be able to receive a list of json objects too
String json = gson.toJson(t);
outputMessage.getBody().write(json.getBytes());
}
//TODO: move this to a more appropriated utils class
public String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) throws IOException {
/*
* To convert the InputStream to String we use the Reader.read(char[]
* buffer) method. We iterate until the Reader return -1 which means
* there's no more data to read. We use the StringWriter class to
* produce the string.
*/
if (is != null) {
Writer writer = new StringWriter();
char[] buffer = new char[1024];
try {
Reader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is, "UTF-8"));
int n;
while ((n = reader.read(buffer)) != -1) {
writer.write(buffer, 0, n);
}
} finally {
is.close();
}
return writer.toString();
} else {
return "";
}
}
}
Then I had to strip off the annnotaion-driven tag and configure all by my own hands on the spring-mvc configuration file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:context="http://www.springframework.org/schema/context"
xmlns:mvc="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc http://www.springframework.org/schema/mvc/spring-mvc-3.0.xsd

<bean id="conversionService" class="org.springframework.format.support.FormattingConversionServiceFactoryBean" />
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
<property name="webBindingInitializer">

</property>
<property name="messageConverters">

<bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.SourceHttpMessageConverter" />

<!-- bean class="org.springframework.http.converter.xml.Jaxb2RootElementHttpMessageConverter" /-->
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="handlerMapping" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping" />
<context:component-scan base-package="net.iogui.teste.web.controller"/>
<!-- Forwards requests to the "/" resource to the "login" view -->
<mvc:view-controller path="/" view-name="home"/>
<!-- Handles HTTP GET requests for /resources/** by efficiently serving up static resources in the ${webappRoot}/resources/ directory -->
<mvc:resources mapping="/resources/**" location="/resources/" />
<bean id="viewResolver" class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.InternalResourceViewResolver">
<property name="viewClass" value="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.JstlView"/>
<property name="prefix" value="/WEB-INF/view/"/>
<property name="suffix" value=".jsp"/>
</bean>
</beans>
See that, to make the Formater and Validator to work, we have to build a custom webBindingInitializer too:
package net.iogui.web.spring.util;
import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.core.convert.ConversionService;
import org.springframework.validation.Validator;
import org.springframework.web.bind.WebDataBinder;
import org.springframework.web.bind.support.WebBindingInitializer;
import org.springframework.web.context.request.WebRequest;
public class CommonWebBindingInitializer implements WebBindingInitializer {
#Autowired(required=false)
private Validator validator;
#Autowired
private ConversionService conversionService;
#Override
public void initBinder(WebDataBinder binder, WebRequest request) {
binder.setValidator(validator);
binder.setConversionService(conversionService);
}
}
An Interesting thing to see is that In order to make the configuration work without the annotaion-driven tag, we have to manually configure a AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter and a DefaultAnnotationHandlerMapping. And in order to make the AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter capable of handling formatting and validation, we had to configure a validator, a conversionService and to build a custom webBindingInitializer.
I hope all this helps someone else besides me.
On my desperate search, this #Bozho post was extremely util. I am also grateful to #GaryF couse his answer took me to the #Bozho post.
To you that are trying to do this in Spring 3.1, see #Robby Pond answer.. A lot easier, isn't it?
You need to create a GsonMessageConverter that extends AbstractHttpMessageConverter and use the mvc-message-converters tag to register your message converter. That tag will let your converter take precedence over the Jackson one.
If you want to add a message converter without messing with xml here is a simple example
#Autowired
private RequestMappingHandlerAdapter adapter;
#PostConstruct
public void initStuff() {
List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> messageConverters = adapter.getMessageConverters();
BufferedImageHttpMessageConverter imageConverter = new BufferedImageHttpMessageConverter();;
messageConverters.add(0,imageConverter);
}
I had situation where usage of Jackson would require me to alter other group's (in the same company) code. Didn't like that. So I chose to use Gson and register TypeAdapters as needed.
Hooked up a converter and wrote a few integration tests using spring-test (used to be spring-mvc-test). No matter what variation I tried (using mvc:annotation-driven OR manual definition of the bean). None of them worked. Any combination of these always used the Jackson Converter which kept on failing.
Answer> Turns out that MockMvcBuilders' standaloneSetup method "hard" coded the message converters to default versions and ignored all my changes above. Here is what worked:
#Autowired
private RequestMappingHandlerAdapter adapter;
public void someOperation() {
StandaloneMockMvcBuilder smmb = MockMvcBuilders.standaloneSetup(controllerToTest);
List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters = adapter.getMessageConverters();
HttpMessageConverter<?> ary[] = new HttpMessageConverter[converters.size()];
smmb.setMessageConverters(conveters.toArray(ary));
mockMvc = smmb.build();
.
.
}
Hope this helps someone, in the end I used annotation-driven and re-purposing android's converter
Notice that GsonHttpMessageConverter was added recently to Spring (4.1)
Robby Pond is basically correct, but note that his suggestion to use the mvc:message-converters tag requires that you use 3.1. Since 3.1 is currently only a milestone release (M1), I'd suggest registering your converter this way after creating it:
<bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.mvc.annotation.AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter">
<property name="messageConverters">
<util:list id="beanList">
<ref bean="someMessageConverter"/>
<ref bean="someOtherMessageConverter"/>
</util:list>
</property>
</bean>
Or as mentioned in Jira's Spring Improvement ask, write a BeanPostProcessor that adds your HttpMessageConvertor to the AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter
You can do this by writing the WebConfig file as a Java File. Extend your config file with WebMvcConfigurerAdapter and override extendMessageConverters method to add your intented Message Convertor. This method will retain the default converters added by Spring and will add your convertor at the end. Apparently you have full control with the list and you can add where ever you want in the list.
#Configuration
#EnableWebMvc
#ComponentScan(basePackageClasses={WebConfig.class})
public class WebConfig extends WebMvcConfigurerAdapter {
#Override
public void extendMessageConverters(List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
converters.add(new GsonHttpMessageConverter());
}
}

Can't Seem to get my data out of MySQL DB with NHibernate

So I have setup a MySQL database with table with one record. My Solution is made up of three projects (1 domain model library, test library and my Web project). In my MVC project I have implemented NHibernate with all necessary Dll's, and
In Web project root:
nhibernate-configuration.xsd
nhibernate-mapping.xsd
nhibernate.config and
<classname>.hbm.xml file - with the class it is mapping
In my Global.asax.cs file I have my event handlers to bind the current session:
public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
public MvcApplication()
{
BeginRequest += (MvcApplication_BeginRequest);
EndRequest += (MvcApplication_EndRequest);
}
void MvcApplication_BeginRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CurrentSessionContext.Bind(BootStrapper.SessionFactory.OpenSession());
}
void MvcApplication_EndRequest(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
CurrentSessionContext.Unbind(BootStrapper.SessionFactory).Dispose();
}
Then I have my BootStrapper class which returns the current session:
public static readonly ISessionFactory SessionFactory = CreateSessionFactory();
private static ISessionFactory CreateSessionFactory()
{
var cfg = new Configuration().Configure(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "nhibernate.config"));
cfg.SetProperty(NHibernate.Cfg.Environment.ConnectionStringName, System.Environment.MachineName);
return cfg.BuildSessionFactory();
}
public static ISession GetSession()
{
return SessionFactory.GetCurrentSession();
}
My Controller is being handed an object by my Ninject IoC
ProductController.cs
public class ProductsController : Controller
{
private readonly IProductsRepository productsRepository;
public ProductsController(IProductsRepository productsRepository)
{
this.productsRepository = productsRepository;
}
public ViewResult List()
{
return View(productsRepository.Products.ToList());
}
}
NinjectControllerFactory.cs
public class NinjectControllerFactory : DefaultControllerFactory
{
//Supplies Object instances
private IKernel kernel = new StandardKernel(new DaisyblossomsServices());
//MVC calls this to get the controller for each requests
protected override IController GetControllerInstance(System.Web.Routing.RequestContext requestContext, Type controllerType)
{
if (controllerType == null)
return null;
return (Controller)kernel.Get(controllerType);
}
}
Which you will sell calls my services class DaisyblossomsServices:
public class DaisyblossomsServices : NinjectModule
{
public override void Load()
{
Bind<IProductsRepository>().To<ProductsRepository>();
}
}
Where you can see IProductsRepository is bound to my ProductsRepository class:
public class ProductsRepository : IProductsRepository
{
public IQueryable Products
{
get { var session = BootStrapper.GetSession();
return session.CreateCriteria(typeof(Product)).List<Product>().AsQueryable();
}
}
}
And my ProductsController is handed an IProductsRepository object
public interface IProductsRepository
{
IQueryable Products { get; }
}
As additional information My Product.hbm.xml file which maps my Product.cs class
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<hibernate-mapping xmlns="urn:nhibernate-mapping-2.2"
assembly="Daisyblossoms.Domain"
namespace="Daisyblossoms">
<class name="Product"
table="product">
<id name="ProductID">
<generator class="assigned" />
</id>
<property name="Name" column="Name" />
<property name="Price" column="Price" />
</class>
</hibernate-mapping>
And my nhibernate.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<hibernate-configuration xmlns="urn:nhibernate-configuration-2.2" >
<session-factory name="Daisyblossoms.Domain">
<property name="connection.provider">NHibernate.Connection.DriverConnectionProvider</property>
<property name="connection.driver_class">NHibernate.Driver.MySqlDataDriver</property>
<property name="generate_statistics">true</property>
<property name="current_session_context_class">web</property>
<property name="proxyfactory.factory_class">NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle.ProxyFactoryFactory, NHibernate.ByteCode.Castle</property>
<property name="dialect">NHibernate.Dialect.MySQL5Dialect</property>
<mapping assembly="Daisyblossoms.WebUI"/>
</session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>
And my connectionsStrings part of Web.config:
<connectionStrings>
<add name="daisyblossoms" connectionString="Server=localhost;Port=3306;Database=dbName;Uid=user;Pwd=somePSWD;pooling=false;"
providerName="MySql.Data.MySqlClient"/>
Any thoughts what might be my issue?
Verify that hibernate.cfg.xml has output set to "Update if newer" and that your *.hbm.xml files are marked as Embedded Resources. Those are the two most common mistakes. It also sounds like you're trying to get a lot of moving parts working at the same time. You might want to simplify things to just get a console app to connect to MySQL using NHibernate. Something like this:
internal class Program {
private static void Main() {
var cfg = new Configuration();
cfg.Configure(); // Uses hibernate.cfg.xml by default.
// cfg.Configure("nhibernate.config"); // Or use this overload if you prefer your own name.
var sessionFactory = cfg.BuildSessionFactory();
using(var session = sessionFactory.OpenSession())
using(var tx = session.BeginTransaction()) {
var query = session.CreateCriteria<Product>().List();
query.ForEach(x => Console.WriteLine(x.Name));
tx.Commit();
}
Console.WriteLine("Press <ENTER> to exit...");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
This would allow you to verify that your mappings and configuration files are correct without worrying about MVC, Ninject, etc. at the same time.
