2. Spring Overview
“Lightweight Container”
Very loosely coupled
Components widely reusable and separately
packaged
Created by Rod Johnson
Based on “Expert one-on-one J2EE Design and
Development”
Currently on version 1.1.1
3. Why Use Spring?
Wiring of components (Dependency Injection)
Promotes/simplifies decoupling, design to interfaces, TDD
Declarative programming without J2EE
Easily configured aspects, esp. transaction support
Simplify use of popular technologies
Abstractions insulate application from specifics, eliminate
redundant code, and handle common error conditions
Underlying technology specifics still accessible (closures)
4. Why Use Spring?
Conversion of checked exceptions to
unchecked
(Or is this a reason not to use it?)
Not an all-or-nothing solution
Extremely modular and flexible
Well designed
Easy to extend
Many reusable classes
7. Spring Dependency Injection
Inversion of Control (IoC)
“Hollywood Principle”
Don't call me, I'll call you
“Container” resolves (injects) dependencies of
components by setting implementation object (push)
As opposed to component instantiating or Service
Locator pattern where component locates
implementation (pull)
Martin Fowler calls Dependency Injection
8. Dependency Injection Variants
Variations on dependency injection
Interface based (Avalon)
Constructor-based (PicoContainer, Spring)
Setter-based (Spring)
BeanFactory provides configuration framework to
initialize and “wire” JavaBeans
org.springframework.beans and
org.springframework.context
Typically use the XmlBeanFactory, employing XML
configuration files
9. Dependency Injection (cont'd)
BeanFactory configured components need have
no Spring dependencies
Simple JavaBeans
Beans are singletons by default
Properties may be simple values or references to
other beans
Built-in support for defining Lists, Maps, Sets,
and Properties collection types.
Custom PropertyEditors may be defined to
convert string values to other, arbitrary types.
11. Bean Creation
Direct instantiation
<bean id=“beanId” class=“className”>
BeanFactory instantiation
Same syntax but class is subclass of BeanFactory
getObject() called to obtain Bean
Static Factory
<bean id=“beanId” class=“className" factory-method="
staticCreationMethod“>
Instance Factory Method
<bean id=“beanId” factory-bean=“existingBeanId" factory-
method=“nonStaticCreationMethod">
12. Bean Creation
Beans may be singletons or “prototypes”
Attribute singleton=“false” causes instantiation
with each getBean() lookup
Singleton is default
XmlBeanFactory pre-instantiates singletons
May be overridden on per-instance basis by lazy-
init=“true”
Beans may also be marked abstract, allowing
reuse of attribute values through inheritance
13. Autowiring Properties
Beans may be auto-wired (rather than using <ref>)
Per-bean attribute autowire
Explicit settings override
autowire=“name”
Bean identifier matches property name
autowire=“type”
Type matches other defined bean
autowire=”constructor”
Match constructor argument types
autowire=”autodetect”
Attempt by constructor, otherwise “type”
14. Dependency Checking
Ensures properties are defined
Per-bean attribute dependency-check
None required by default
Verifies autowiring succeeded
“simple”
all but collaborators
“object”
collaborators only
“all”
Collaborators, primitive types, and collections
15. Lifecycle Customization
Can define init method called after properties set
init-method=”<method-name>”
Can define destroy method as shutdown hook
destroy-method=”<method-name>”
May alternatively implement InitializingBean
and/or DisposableBean
At cost of Spring dependency
16. BeanFactory Miscellany
BeanFactoryAware interface provides BeanFactory for
bean
setBeanFactory(BeanFactory)
BeanNameAware interface provides bean name
setBeanName(String)
FactoryBean for beans which are themselves factories
Object getObject()
Boolean isSingleton()
Class getObjectType()
17. BeanFactory Usage
InputStream is = new FileInputStream("beans.xml");
XmlBeanFactory factory = new XmlBeanFactory(is);
MyBeanClass bean = (MyBeanClass)factory.getBean(“myBean”);
ApplicationContext ctx = new
ClassPathXmlApplicationContext("beans.xml");
MyBeanClass bean = (MyBeanClass)ctx.getBean(“myBean”);
OR
18. ApplicationContext
Extends functionality of BeanFactory
Pre-instantiates singleton beans
Detects and registers BeanPostProcessors and
BeanFactoryPostProcessors
Supports nesting of contexts
ApplicationListener and ApplicationEvents
Initialized and closed predefined
Custom may be created
MessageSource provides i18n messaging
<bean id=”messageSource”
class=”...ResourceBundleMessageSource”/>
Contains list of bundle base names
19. Web Initialization
Web applications may use
ContextLoaderListener to initialize Spring
<context-param>
<param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
<param-value>/WEB-INF/daoContext.xml /WEB-INF/applicationContext.xml
</param-value>
</context-param>
<listener>
<listener-class>org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener</listener-class>
</listener>
web.xml
Automatically done by Spring DispatcherServlet
20. Specialized Beans
MethodInvokingFactoryBean
Invokes method on registered beans or any static
methods
Stores return value
SingletonBeanFactoryLocator and
ContextSingletonBeanFactoryLocator
Useful for sharing BeanFactories
Eliminate duplication of beans in multiple similar
factories or contexts
21. ApplicationContext customization
Defined beans inheriting from
BeanFactoryPostProcessor are detected and invoked
CustomEditorConfigurer
Registers custom PropertyEditors for converting
configuration string values to specific types
AutoProxyCreators
Wrap beans in proxies based on various criteria (name,
metadata, etc)
PropertyResourceConfigurer
Sets from property file and/or system properties
24. AOP Fundamentals
Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) provides for
simplified application of cross-cutting concerns
Transaction management
Security
Logging
Auditing
Locking
AOP sometimes (partially) achieved via Decorators or
Proxies
CORBA Portable Interceptors
Servlet Filters
25. AOP Fundamentals
Aspect - Implementation of a cross-cutting concern.
Spring Advisors or Interceptors
Joinpoint - Execution point to target
Typically, methods
Advice - Action taken at a particular joinpoint.
Pointcut - A set of joinpoints specifying where advice
should be applied (e.g. Regular expression)
Introduction/Mixin - Adding methods or fields to an
advised class.
Weaving - Assembling aspects into advised objects.
26. Spring AOP
Generally, applies aspects to beans using BeanFactory
Uses Dynamic Proxies if interface available
otherwise CGLIB
CGLIB creates derived class which proxies requests
Bean class may not be final
Less capable than AspectJ
does not have field interception
only runtime weaving solution is available
Closer integration with AspectJ anticipated
27. Spring Pointcuts
Pointcut applicability to a class may be evaluated
statically or dynamically
Spring only creates proxies where necessary
public interface Pointcut {
ClassFilter getClassFilter();
MethodMatcher getMethodMatcher();
}
public interface ClassFilter {
boolean matches(Class clazz);
}
28. Pointcuts (cont'd)
public interface MethodMatcher {
boolean matches(Method m, Class targetClass);
boolean isRuntime();
boolean matches(Method m, Class targetClass, Object[] args);
}
Pointcut may be statically or dynamically
evaluated based on isRuntime()
Abstract class StaticMethodMatcherPointcut
requires override of 1st
method only
Only called if isRuntime() == true
29. Pointcuts (cont'd)
Spring predefined pointcuts
In org.springframework.aop.support package
RegexpMethodPointcut
Union of multiple regular expressions
Uses Jakarta ORO package
ControlFlowPointcut
Similar to AspectJ cflow
Applied if call stack includes specific class and, optionally,
method
UnionPointcut
Merges pointcuts
30. Spring Advice
Can have per-class or per-instance Advice
Spring provides several Advice types
Around Advice
AOP Alliance compliant
Must call invocation.proceed() to call target
public class MyAdvice implements AroundAdvice {
Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) {
// change arguments, start transaction, lock, etc.
invocation.proceed();
// change return value, stop transaction, unlock,etc.
}
}
31. Spring Advice
MethodBeforeAdvice
void before(Method m, Object[] args, Object target)
Cannot alter return type
ThrowsAdvice
Marker interface
Implementors define methods of form:
afterThrowing([Method], [args], [target], subclassOfThrowable)
AfterReturningAdvice
void afterReturning(Object returnValue, Method, m,
Object[] args, Object target)
Cannot modify return value
32. Spring Advice
IntroductionInterceptor provides ability to define
mixins
public class RollbackAdvice extends DelegatingIntroductionInterceptor
implements RollbackSupport {
Map map = new HashMap();
void rollback(Date date) {
// rollback to state at given time
}
public Object invoke(MethodInvocation invocation) {
// record change and time of change
}
}
34. Injecting Advice (cont'd)
<bean id=“meeting"
class="org.springframework.aop.framework.ProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="proxyInterfaces">
<value>ex.Meeting</value>
</property>
<property name="target"><ref local=“meetingTarget"/></property>
<property name="interceptorNames">
<list>
<value>myAdvisor</value>
<value>debugInterceptor</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
Advisors applied in order
All methods
using CGLib
if none defined
35. Autoproxying
Autoproxy bean definitions automatically proxy
selected beans.
BeanNameAutoProxyCreator
Adds listed advisors/interceptors to beans
with names matching regular expression
DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator
Generic autoproxy infrastructure support
Applies all advisors defined in the context to
all beans, proxying appropriately
36. Metadata support
Spring supports obtaining meta data Object
attributes at class, method, and field level
Not yet argument level (as JSR-175)
Currently supports Jakarta Commons Attributes
Support for JSR-175 in work
Metadata support provided via Attributes
interface
Amenable to mocking unlike JDK reflection and
Commons static methods
37. Metadata autoproxying
Configuration of autoproxying based on metadata
attributes simplifies configuration
Define custom attribute class
Define Advisor with pointcut based on custom attribute
Add Advisor in ApplicationContext with autoproxy
Examples
Transaction Attributes
Security Attributes
Pooling
Mapping of controllers to URLs
39. AOP Transactions
Spring provides AOP support for declarative
transactions
Delegates to a PlatformTransactionManager
instance
DataSourceTransactionManager
HibernateTransactionManager
JdoTransactionManager
JtaTransactionManager
41. Declarative Transactions
Declarative transactional support can be added to
any bean by using TransactionProxyFactoryBean
Similar to EJB, transaction attributes may be
defined on a per-method basis
Also allows definition of pre- and post-
interceptors (e.g. for security)
42. Injecting Transaction Support
<bean id=“reservationService"
class="org.springframework.transaction.interceptor.TransactionProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="transactionManager">
<ref bean="transactionManager"/>
</property>
<property name="target"><ref local=“reservationServiceTarget"/></property>
<property name="transactionAttributes">
<props>
<prop key=“reserveRoom*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED</prop>
<prop key="*">PROPAGATION_REQUIRED,readOnly</prop>
</props>
</property>
</bean>
Declarative transaction support for single bean
43. Transaction Autoproxy
<bean id="autoproxy"
class="org...DefaultAdvisorAutoProxyCreator">
</bean>
<bean id="transactionAdvisor"
class="org...TransactionAttributeSourceAdvisor"
autowire="constructor" >
</bean>
<bean id="transactionInterceptor"
class="org...TransactionInterceptor"
autowire="byType">
</bean>
<bean id="transactionAttributeSource"
class="org...AttributesTransactionAttributeSource"
autowire="constructor">
</bean>
<bean id="attributes"
class="org...CommonsAttributes"
/>
Caches metadata
from classes
Generic autoproxy
support
Applies transaction
using transactionManager
Invokes interceptor
based on attributes
45. Data Access
DAO support provides pluggable framework for
persistence
Currently supports JDBC, Hibernate, JDO, and
iBatis
Defines consistent exception hierarchy (based on
RuntimeException)
Provides abstract “Support” classes for each
technology
Template methods define specific queries
46. Hibernate DAO Example
public class ReservationDaoImpl extends HibernateDaoSupport
implements ReservationDao {
public Reservation getReservation (Long orderId) {
return (Reservation)getHibernateTemplate().load(Reservation .class,
orderId);
}
public void saveReservation (Reservation r) {
getHibernateTemplate().saveOrUpdate(r);
}
public void remove(Reservation Reservation) {
getHibernateTemplate().delete(r);
}
47. Hibernate DAO (cont’d)
public Reservation[] findReservations(Room room) {
List list = getHibernateTemplate().find(
"from Reservation reservation “ +
“ where reservation.resource =? “ +
“ order by reservation.start",
instrument);
return (Reservation[]) list.toArray(new Reservation[list.size()]);
48. Hibernate DAO (cont’d)
public Reservation[] findReservations(final DateRange range) {
final HibernateTemplate template = getHibernateTemplate();
List list = (List) template.execute(new HibernateCallback() {
public Object doInHibernate(Session session) {
Query query = session.createQuery(
"from Reservation r “ +
“ where r.start > :rangeStart and r.start < :rangeEnd “);
query.setDate("rangeStart", range.getStartDate()
query.setDate("rangeEnd", range.getEndDate())
return query.list();
}
});
return (Reservation[]) list.toArray(new Reservation[list.size()]);
}
}
50. JDBC Support
JDBCTemplate provides
Translation of SQLExceptions to more meaningful
Spring Runtime exceptions
Integrates thread-specific transactions
MappingSQLQuery simplifies mapping of
ResultSets to Java objects
52. DispatcherServlet
The DispatcherServlet is the Spring Front
Controller
Initializes WebApplicationContext
Uses /WEB-INF/[servlet-name]-servlet.xml by
default
WebApplicationContext is bound into
ServletContext
53. DispatcherServlet Configuration
HandlerMapping
Routing of requests to handlers
HandlerAdapter
Adapts to handler interface. Default utilizes Controllers
HandlerExceptionResolver
Maps exceptions to error pages
Similar to standard Servlet, but more flexible
ViewResolver
Maps symbolic name to view
55. Controllers
Controller interface defines one method
ModelAndView handleRequest(HttpServletRequest
req, HttpServletResponse resp) throws Exception
ModelAndView consists of a view identifier and
a Map of model data
