Why Are We Here?

“ Software entities (classes,
modules, functions, etc.) should
be open for extension, but closed
for modification.
”
-Bob Martin

5

Why Are We Here?

do NOT reinvent
the Wheel!

6


Spring’s aim:
bring simplicity to java development

data
web tier
batch integration & access
& service tier mobile Security
processing messaging / NoSQL /
RIA
Big Data

The Spring framework
the cloud: lightweight traditional

CloudFoundry tc Server WebSphere
Google App Engine Tomcat JBoss AS
Amazon BeanStalk Jetty WebLogic
(on legacy versions, too!)

7


The Spring Framework

Framework Description

Spring Core The foundation

Spring @MVC the web leading framework (comes with the core framework)

Spring Security Extensible framework providing authentication, authorization

Spring Webflow An excellent web framework for building multi-page flows

Spring Web Services Contract-first, document–centric SOAP and XML web services

Spring Batch Powerful batch processing framework

Spring Integration Implements enterprise integration patterns

Spring BlazeDS Support for Adobe BlazeDS

Spring AMQP interface with AMQP message brokers, like RabbitMQ

Spring Data NoSQL options: MongoDB, Redis, Riak, CouchDB, Neo4J, etc.

Spring Social integrate Twitter, Facebook, Tripit, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.
Provides a POJO-centric approach to building
Spring Hadoop
Hadoop applications. Supports HBase, others
provides first-class support for service
Spring Mobile, Spring Android
creation and consumption for iPhone, Android
Spring GemFire Provides the easiest interface for the GemFire enterprise data grid technology

8


Wide Variety of Data and Data Stores
§ Not all data resides in relational databases
l cloud environments often suggest alternatives for scalability reasons
l HBase, Redis, Mongo, etc

§ Distributed caches add challenges as well
l not least of it all in terms of application-level access patterns
l GemFire, Coherence, etc

§ Hardly any standardization available
l JSR-107 – for caching – did not make progress for a long, long time
l finally getting picked up in Java EE 7, but again only for caching
l alternative datastore space is too diverse for standardization


Wide Variety of Web Clients
§ More and more client-side web technologies
l HTML 5 as a next-generation browser standard

§ Server-side state to be minimized or even removed completely
l in particular: no server-side user interface state
l strictly controlled user session state

§ JSF's state-centric approach not a great fit anymore
l except for special kinds of applications (which it remains very useful for)
l web application backends and web services based on JAX-RS / MVC style
l nevertheless: JSF keeps evolving – JSF 2.2 coming up in 2012

10


Current and Upcoming: 3.1, 3.2, and 3.2

§ Spring Framework 3.1 (Dec 2011)
• Environment profiles, Java-based configuration, declarative caching
• Initial Java 7 support, Servlet 3.0 based deployment

§ Grouping bean definitions for activation in specific environments
• e.g. development, testing, production
• possibly different deployment environments
§ Custom resolution of placeholders
• dependent on the actual environment
• hierarchy of property sources

15



§ Injectable environment abstraction API
• org.springframework.core.env.Environment

15



§ Injectable environment abstraction API
• org.springframework.core.env.Environment
§ Unified property resolution SPI
• org.springframework.core.env.PropertyResolver

Bean Definition Profiles
<beans proﬁle="production">
<bean id="dataSource" class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource"
destroy-method="close">
<property name="driverClass" value="${database.driver}"/>
<property name="jdbcUrl" value="${database.url}"/>
<property name="username" value="${database.username}"/>
<property name="password" value="${database.password}"/>
</bean>
</beans>

<beans proﬁle="embedded">
<jdbc:embedded-database id="dataSource" type="H2">
<jdbc:script location="/WEB-INF/database/schema-member.sql"/>
<jdbc:script location="/WEB-INF/database/schema-activity.sql"/>
<jdbc:script location="/WEB-INF/database/schema-event.sql"/>
<jdbc:script location="/WEB-INF/database/data.sql"/>
</jdbc:embedded-database>
</beans>

16


Environment Configuration

17


§ Associating specific bean definitions with specific environments
• XML 'profile' attribute on <beans> element
• @Profile annotation on configuration classes
• @Profile annotation on individual component classes

17



§ Activating specific profiles by name
• e.g. through a system property
• -Dspring.proﬁles.active=development
• or other means outside of the deployment unit
• according to environment conventions

17



§ Activating specific profiles by name
• e.g. through a system property
• -Dspring.proﬁles.active=development
• or other means outside of the deployment unit
• according to environment conventions

§ Ideally: no need to touch deployment unit across different stages/environments

17


Java-Based Application Configuration

18


§ Application-specific container configuration
• aligned with Spring 3.0's @Conﬁguration style
• focus on customizing the annotation-based processing parts of Spring

18



§ Equivalent to XML namespace functionality
• but not a one-to-one mapping
• 'natural' container configuration from an annotation-oriented perspective

§ Equivalent to XML namespace functionality
• but not a one-to-one mapping
• 'natural' container configuration from an annotation-oriented perspective

§ Typical infrastructure setup
• transactions
• scheduling
• MVC customization

So, What’s All of This Look Like in Code?

Not confidential. Tell everyone. 19


I want Database Access ... with Hibernate 4 Support

@Service
public class CustomerService {

public Customer getCustomerById( long customerId) {
...
}

public Customer createCustomer( String ﬁrstName, String lastName, Date date){
...
}

}




@Service

@Inject
private SessionFactory sessionFactory;

public Customer createCustomer(String ﬁrstName,
String lastName,
Date signupDate) {
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.setFirstName(ﬁrstName);
customer.setLastName(lastName);
customer.setSignupDate(signupDate);

sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(customer);
return customer;
}

}




@Service

@Inject

@Transactional
public Customer createCustomer(String ﬁrstName,
String lastName,
Date signupDate) {
Customer customer = new Customer();
customer.setFirstName(ﬁrstName);
customer.setLastName(lastName);
customer.setSignupDate(signupDate);

sessionFactory.getCurrentSession().save(customer);
return customer;
}

}



I want Declarative Cache Management...

@Service

@Inject

@Transactional(readOnly = true)
@Cacheable(“customers”)
public Customer getCustomerById( long customerId) {
...
}

...

}



I want a RESTful Endpoint...

package org.springsource.examples.spring31.web;
..

@Controller
public class CustomerController {

@Inject
private CustomerService customerService;

@RequestMapping(value = "/customer/{id}" )
@ResponseBody
public Customer customerById( @PathVariable("id") Integer id ) {
return customerService.getCustomerById(id);
}
...
}



...But Where’d the SessionFactory come from?



The Spring ApplicationContext

§ Spring Manages the beans you tell it to manage (Implicitly, Explicitly)
• use annotations (JSR 250, JSR 330, native)
• XML
• Java configuration
• component scanning

§ You can of course use all of them! Mix ‘n match

§ All configuration styles tell the ApplicationContext how to manage your beans

26



§ Annotations (component-scanning)
• best when you want Spring to sort it all out in the wash, no need for explicit configuration
§ Java Configuration
• type-safe, and explicit - all configuration is centralized. Provides a good birds-eye view of your application
§ XML
• explicit - namespaces still provide the most punch in a lot of cases
§ All together
• use Java configuration for your regular third party beans (like a DataSource)
• XML namespaces for DSLs and higher level functionality (Spring Integration, Batch, etc.)
• annotations for your components (a @Service, or a Spring MVC @Controller)

27



From XML:
public class Main {
public static void main(String [] args) throws Throwable {
ApplicationContext ctx =
new ClassPathXmlApplication( “my-conﬁg.xml” );
CustomerService serviceReference = ctx.getBean( CustomerService.class );
Customer customer = serviceReference.createCustomer( "Juergen", "Hoeller");
}
}

28



From XML:
public class Main {
new ClassPathXmlApplication( “my-config.xml” );
}
}

From Java Configuration
public class Main {
new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext( ServicesConfiguration.class );
}
}

A Quick Primer on Configuration in Spring 3.1

....
<beans>

<tx:annotation-driven transaction-manager = "txManager" />

<context:component-scan base-package = "org.springsource.examples.spring31.services" />

<context:property-placeholder properties = "conﬁg.properties" />

<bean id = "txManager" class = "org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.HibernateTransactionManager">
<property name = "sessionFactory" ref = "sessionFactory" />
</bean>

<bean id = "sessionFactory" class = "org.springframework.orm.hibernate4.LocalSessionFactoryBean">
...
</bean>

<bean id = "dataSource" class = "..SimpleDriverDataSource">
<property name= "userName" value = "${ds.user}"/>
...
</bean>

</beans>

new ClassPathXmlApplication( “service-conﬁg.xml” );

Not confidential. Tell everyone.


A Quick Primer on Configuration in Spring 3.1

@Configuration
@PropertySource("/config.properties")
@EnableTransactionManagement
@ComponentScan(basePackageClasses = {CustomerService.class})
public class ServicesConfiguration {

@Inject private Environment environment;

@Bean
public PlatformTransactionManager txManager() throws Exception {

Test Context Framework
@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration(
loader=AnnotationConfigContextLoader.class,
classes={TransferServiceConfig.class, DataConfig.class})
@ActiveProfiles("dev")
public class TransferServiceTest {

@Autowired
private TransferService transferService;

@Test
public void testTransferService() {
...
}
}

40


"c:" Namespace
§ New XML namespace for use with bean configuration
• shortcut for <constructor-arg>
• inline argument values
• analogous to existing "p:" namespace
• use of constructor argument names
• recommended for readability
• debug symbols have to be available in the application's class files

<bean class="…" c:age="10" c:name="myName"/>

<bean class="…" c:name-ref="nameBean" c:spouse-ref="spouseBean"/>

41


Cache Abstraction

42


Cache Abstraction
§ CacheManager and Cache abstraction
• in org.springframework.cache
• which up until 3.0 just contained EhCache support
• particularly important with the rise of distributed caching
• not least of it all: in cloud environments

42


Cache Abstraction

§ Backend adapters for EhCache, GemFire, Coherence, etc
• EhCache adapter shipping with Spring core

42


Cache Abstraction

§ Backend adapters for EhCache, GemFire, Coherence, etc
• EhCache adapter shipping with Spring core

§ Specific cache setup per environment – through profiles?
• potentially even adapting to a runtime-provided service

42


Cache Abstraction

43


Cache Abstraction
@Cacheable ( name = “@(sessionKeyUtil).getCurrentSession() + owner”)
public Owner loadOwner(int id);

43


Cache Abstraction

@Cacheable(name = “owners”, condition="name.length < 10")

43


Cache Abstraction

public Owner loadOwner(String name);

43


Cache Abstraction


@CacheEvict (name = “owners”)

43


Cache Abstraction


@CacheEvict (name = “owners”)
public void deleteOwner(int id);

43


Servlet 3.0 Based Web Applications
§ Explicit support for Servlet 3.0 containers
• such as Tomcat 7 and GlassFish 3
• while at the same time preserving compatibility with Servlet 2.4+

§ Support for XML-free web application setup (no web.xml)
• Servlet 3.0's ServletContainerInitializer mechanism
• in combination with Spring 3.1's AnnotationConﬁgWebApplicationContext
• plus Spring 3.1's environment abstraction

§ Exposure of native Servlet 3.0 functionality in Spring MVC
• standard Servlet 3.0 file upload behind Spring's MultipartResolver abstraction
• support for asynchronous request processing coming in Spring 3.2

44


WebApplicationInitializer Example
/**
* Automatically detected and invoked on startup by Spring's
ServletContainerInitializer. May register listeners, filters,
servlets etc against the given Servlet 3.0 ServletContext.
*/
public class MyWebAppInitializer implements WebApplicationInitializer {

public void onStartup(ServletContext sc) throws ServletException {
// Create the 'root' Spring application context
AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext root =
new AnnotationConfigWebApplicationContext();
root.scan("com.mycompany.myapp");
root.register(FurtherConfig.class);

// Manages the lifecycle of the root application context
sc.addListener(new ContextLoaderListener(root));
...
}
}
45


@MVC Processing & Flash Attributes

46


§ RequestMethodHandlerAdapter
l arbitrary mappings to handler methods across multiple controllers
l better customization of handler method arguments
− HandlerMethodArgumentResolver
− HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler
− etc

46


§ RequestMethodHandlerAdapter
l arbitrary mappings to handler methods across multiple controllers
l better customization of handler method arguments
− HandlerMethodArgumentResolver
− HandlerMethodReturnValueHandler
− etc

§ FlashMap support and FlashMapManager abstraction
l with RedirectAttributes as a new @MVC handler method argument type
− explicitly calling addFlashAttribute to add values to the output FlashMap
l an outgoing FlashMap will temporarily get added to the user's session
l an incoming FlashMap for a request will automatically get exposed to the model

46


Refined JPA Support
§ Package scanning without persistence.xml
l 'packagesToScan' feature on LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean
− building a persistence unit from @Entity classes within specific application packages
l similar to AnnotationSessionFactoryBean for Hibernate 3
− rolled into core LocalSessionFactoryBean for Hibernate 4
l ideal for applications with a single default persistence unit

§ Consistent JPA setup by persistence unit name
l JPA specification quite strongly based on the notion of persistence unit names
− @PersistenceContext / @PersistenceUnit referring to persistence unit names
l now Spring's JpaTransactionManager and co. support setup by unit name as well
− as an alternative to referring to EntityManagerFactory beans directly
−

47


Third-Party Support Updates
§ Hibernate 4.0
l natively and through JPA
l native support in a dedicated org.springframework.orm.hibernate4 package
− dealing with package rearrangements in the Hibernate API
l preserving compatibility with Hibernate 3.2+ in o.sf.orm.hibernate3

§ Quartz 2.0
l JobDetail and Trigger are now interfaces in the Quartz 2.0 API
− whereas they traditionally were base classes in Quartz 1.x
l SchedulerFactoryBean now auto-adapts to Quartz 2.0 if present
− JobDetail/CronTrigger/SimpleTriggerFactoryBean variants for Quartz 2.0
l preserving compatibility with Quartz 1.5+ in the same support package

48


Java SE 7

49


Java SE 7
§ Spring 3.1 introduces Java SE 7 support
l making best use of JRE 7 at runtime
l support for JDBC 4.1
l support for fork-join framework

49


Java SE 7

§ Oracle's OpenJDK 7 released in summer 2011
l IBM JDK 7 following not much later
l Java 7 could be the norm for new Java based projects soon

49


Java SE 7

§ Oracle's OpenJDK 7 released in summer 2011
l IBM JDK 7 following not much later
l Java 7 could be the norm for new Java based projects soon

§ Spring Framework not being built against Java 7 yet
l build upgrade coming in Spring 3.3

Spring 3.2

51




52


Change of Plans

§ We originally meant to have Java SE 8 and Java EE 7 themes in Spring 3.2
§ However, Java EE 7 got pushed out further and further: Q2 2013
• eventually descoped and delayed (no cloud focus anymore)
§ And Java SE 8 (OpenJDK 8) got rescheduled as well: September 2013
• once again, descoped and delayed (no module system anymore)
• feature-complete developer preview expected for February 2013
§ Our solution: Spring 3.2 ships in Q4 2012 with core framework refinements
• Spring 3.3 will ship in Q4 2013 with Java SE 8 and Java EE 7 support

53


So what’s in 3.2?

§ Gradle-based build
§ Binaries built against Java 7
§ Inlined ASM 4.0 and CGLIB 3.0
§ Async MVC processing on Servlet 3.0
§ Spring MVC test support
§ MVC configuration refinements
§ SpEL refinements
§ Also including many runtime refinements
• partially back-ported to 3.1.2/3.1.3
§ General Spring MVC niceties
• Servlet 3 async support
• error reporting in REST scenarios
• content negotiation strategies
• matrix variables

54


Spring 3.2

§ Spring 3.1 came with early support for Java 7
• JDBC 4.1, ForkJoinPool, etc
• framework itself still compiled on Java 6
§ Spring 3.2 is now being built on Java 7
• CI builds running against Java 5, 6 and 7
§ enabled through our new Gradle build
§ Spring 3.2 comes with ASM 4.0 and CGLIB 3.0
• fully supporting the Java 7 byte code format
• ASM and CGLIB inlined into Spring module jars now

55


Async MVC Processing: Callable

@RequestMapping(name =“/upload”,
method=RequestMethod.POST)
public Callable<String> processUpload(MultipartFile ﬁle) {

return new Callable<String>() {
public String call() throws Exception {
// ...
return "someView";
}
};

}

- thread managed by Spring MVC
- good for long running database jobs, 3rd party REST API calls, etc

56


Async MVC Processing: DeferredResult

@RequestMapping("/quotes")
@ResponseBody
public DeferredResult quotes() {
DeferredResult deferredResult = new DeferredResult();
// Add deferredResult to a Queue or a Map...
return deferredResult;
}

// In some other thread:
// Set the return value on the DeferredResult deferredResult.set(data);

- thread managed outside of Spring MVC
- JMS or AMQP message listener, another HTTP request, etc.

57


Async MVC Processing: AsyncTask

@RequestMapping(name =“/upload”, method=RequestMethod.POST)
public AsyncTask<Foo> processUpload(MultipartFile ﬁle) {

TaskExecutor asyncTaskExecutor = new AsyncTaskExecutor(...);

return new AsyncTask<Foo>(
1000L, // timeout
asyncTaskExecutor, // thread pool
new Callable<Foo>(){ ..} // thread
);

}

- same as Callable, with extra features
- override timeout value for async processing
- lets you specify a specific AsyncTaskExecutor

58


Content Negotiation Strategies

ContentNegotiationStrategy
• By 'Accept' Header
• By URL extension (.xml, .json, etc)
• By Request parameter, i.e. /accounts/1?format=json
• Fixed content type, i.e. a fallback option

ContentNegotiationManager
• has one or more ContentNegotiationStrategy instances
• works with:
RequestMappingHandlerMapping,
RequestMappingHandlerAdapter,
ExceptionHandlerExceptionResolver
ContentNegotiatingViewResolver

59


Matrix Variables

"Each path segment may include a
sequence of parameters, indicated by the
semicolon ";" character. The parameters
are not signiﬁcant to the parsing of
relativeb references.

RFC 2396, section 3.3

60


Matrix Variables

"The semicolon (";") and equals ("=") reserved characters
are often used to delimit parameters and
parameter values applicable to that segment. The
comma (",") reserved character is often used for
similar purposes."

RFC 3986, section 3.3

61


Matrix Variables

§ Two Types of Usages
§ Path Segment Name-Value Pairs
/qa-releases;buildNumber=135;revision=3.2

§ As delimited list path segment
/answers/id1;id2;id3;id4/comments

62


Matrix Variables: the common case

// GET /pets/42;q=11;r=22

@RequestMapping(value = "/pets/{petId}")
public void findPet(
@PathVariable String petId, @MatrixVariable int q) {

// petId == 42
// q == 11

}

63


Matrix Variables: obtain all matrix variables

// GET /owners/42;q=11;r=12/pets/21;q=22;s=23

@RequestMapping(value = "/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}")
@MatrixVariable Map<String, String> matrixVars) {

// matrixVars: ["q" : [11,22], "r" : 12, "s" : 23]

}

64


Matrix Variables: qualify path segment

// GET /owners/42;q=11/pets/21;q=22

@RequestMapping(value = "/owners/{ownerId}/pets/{petId}")
@MatrixVariable(value="q", pathVar="ownerId") int q1,
@MatrixVariable(value="q", pathVar="petId") int q2) {

// q1 == 11
// q2 == 22

}

65


Spring 3.3...

66




67


Spring Framework 3.3 (Q4 2013)

§ Comprehensive Java 8 support
• Support for Java EE 7 API levels
• Focus on message-oriented architectures
• annotation-driven JMS endpoint model
§ revised application event mechanism
§ WebSocket support in Spring MVC
§ Next-generation Groovy support
§ Grails bean builder finally making it into Spring proper

§ PROBABLY (but can’t say for sure): this will be Spring 4.0

68


The Java SE 8 Story

§ Comprehensive Java 8 support
• lambda expressions a.k.a. closures
• Date and Time API (JSR-310)
• NIO-based HTTP client APIs
• parameter name discovery
• java.util.concurrent enhancements
§ Retaining support for Java 5 and higher
• with Java 6 and 7 as common levels
• Java 8 potentially becoming popular rather quickly...

69


The Java EE 7 Story

§ Support for Java EE 7 API levels
• JCache 1.0
• JMS 2.0
• JPA2.1
• JTA 1.2 (@Transactional)
• Bean Validation 1.1
• Servlet3.1
• JSF 2.2
§ Retaining support for Java EE 5 and higher

70


Annotation Driven JMS Endpoints

@JmsListener(destination="myQueue")
public void handleMessage(TextMessage payload);

@JmsListener(destination="myQueue", selector="...")
public void handleMessage(String payload);

@JmsListener(destination="myQueue")
public String handleMessage(String payload);

71


WebSocket Support

§ WebSocket support in current servers isn't fully standardized yet
§ JSR-356 upcoming within the Java EE 7 timeframe
§ Jetty 9 and co. to adopt it rather quickly
§ Spring Framework 3.3 to research all options for WebSocket support
• primarily in Spring MVC
• but also generally for message-oriented architectures
