Apache Deltaspike is a collection of CDI extensions that provide features like configuration, exception handling, internationalization, metadata builders, and more. It includes modules for container control, testing, security, scheduling, and data access using repositories. The data module implements the repository pattern and supports JPA out of the box to provide common data access methods and remove boilerplate JPA code.

4. WHAT IS APACHE DELTASPIKE

5. CDI & DELTASPIKE
• CDI is a specification. It doesn’t provide business features
• but it includes a powerful hook to add these business features
• The “portable extensions” feature is this hook
• Thanks to it, CDI can be easily enhanced with new high level features

6. APACHE DELTASPIKE IS…
• A collection of ready to use extensions to help you in your projects
• A toolbox to help you develop new CDI portable extensions
• A great way to learn how to develop your own extension by
browsing the source code
• The most obvious entry point to CDI eco-system

13. DELTASPIKE CORE

14. CONFIGURATION 1/2
• DeltaSpike provides a powerful configuration API / SPI
• It doesn’t depend on CDI, thus it can be used in portable extension
• The entry point is the ConfigResolver class
• ConfigSource SPI allows to add new configuration source
• Each config has a priority (ordinal).This highest is picked first

15. CONFIGURATION 2/2
Out of the Box Config Sources
ConfigSource Priority Notes
System properties 400
Environment properties 300
JNDI values 200 java:comp/env/deltaspike
Properties files value 100 META-INF/apache-deltaspike.properties

16. CONFIGURATION USAGE
//ConfigResolver can be used directly without CDI dependency (useful in extensions)
String dbUserName = ConfigResolver.getPropertyValue("databaseconfig.username");
…
//Config can also be used in CDI mode and typeSafe config
@Inject
@ConfigProperty(name = "endpoint.poll.interval")
private Integer p; // DS provides conversion for String, Integer, Long, Boolean, Float
…
//But you can provide your own ConfigProperty producer to perform custom conversion
@ApplicationScoped
public class MyConfigPropertyProducer extends BaseConfigPropertyProducer {
@Produces @ConfigProperty(name = "ignored")
public MyType produceStringConfiguration(InjectionPoint injectionPoint) {
String strValue = getStringPropertyValue(injectionPoint);
…
}
}

17. PROJECT STAGES
• Allows to use implementations depending on current environment
• You can defined your owned stage or used the provided ones
• Pre-defined project stages:
• UnitTest, Development, SystemTest, IntegrationTest, Staging, Production
• Project Stage is configured thru DS configuration mechanism

18. PROJECT STAGE EXAMPLE
//Setting project stage with environment property
-Dorg.apache.deltaspike.ProjectStage=Development
…
//Using project stage
@Inject
private ProjectStage projectStage;
boolean isDevProjectStage = ProjectStage.Development.equals(this.projectStage);

19. BEAN EXCLUSION WITH @EXCLUDE
@Exclude //like CDI 1.1+ @Vetoed but limited to a class
@Exclude(ifProjectStage=Production.class) //based on project stage
@Exclude(exceptIfProjectStage=UnitTest.class) //based on project stage
@Exclude(onExpression="myProperty==myValue") //based on config value
@Exclude(onExpression="[cust exp]", interpretedBy=CustomExpInterpreter.class) //custom

20. EXCEPTION HANDLERS
• Based on CDI event
• ExceptionToCatchEvent class sends the exception to DS
• @ExceptionHandler marks a class as handlers container
• @Handles and ExceptionEvent<T> handle an exception

21. EXCEPTION HANDLER EXAMPLE
public class InventoryActions {
@PersistenceContext
private EntityManager em;
@Inject
private Event<ExceptionToCatchEvent> catchEvent;
public Integer queryForItem(Item i) {
try {
Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT i from Item i where i.id = :id");
q.setParameter("id", item.getId());
return q.getSingleResult();
} catch (PersistenceException e) {
catchEvent.fire(new ExceptionToCatchEvent(e));
}
}
}
…
@ExceptionHandler
public class MyHandler {
void handleTheException(@Handles ExceptionEvent<Throwable> exEvent) {
// Do anything with the exception
exEvent.handleAndContinue();
}
}

22. INJECTABLE RESOURCE
@Inject
@InjectableResource(location = "/version.txt")
private InputStream is; //Can be customised for alternate sources
public String getVersion() throws IOException {
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is))) {
return br.readLine();
}
}

23. INTERNATIONALISATION (I18N)
package org.apache.deltaspike.example
@MessageBundle // Can only be applied on an interface
public interface SimpleMessage
// Will map the org/apache/deltaspike/example/SimpleMessage bundle
{
@MessageTemplate(“{my_message}”) // Will map my_message key in bundle
String welcomeToDeltaSpike();
// For value with parameter i.e welcome_to = Welcome to %s
@MessageTemplate("{welcome_to}")
String welcomeTo(String name);
}

24. CDI METADATA BUILDERS
• Creating CDI SPI metadata for you extension can be cumbersome
• Deltaspike provides builder to ease the work and reduce code verbosity
• Major builder are
• AnnotatedTypeBuilder
• BeanBuilder
• WrapperBeanBuilder

25. BUILDING META DATA EXAMPLES
void addTimedBinding(@Observes BeforeBeanDiscovery bbd) {
AnnotationLiteral<Nonbinding> nonbindingLiteral = new AnnotationLiteral<Nonbinding>(){};
AnnotatedTypeBuilder<Timed> atb = new AnnotatedTypeBuilder<Timed>()
.readFromType(Timed.class)
.addToMethod(Timed.class.getMethod("name"), nonbindingLiteral)
.addToMethod(Timed.class.getMethod(“absolute"),nonbindingLiteral);
bbd.addInterceptorBinding(atb.create());
}
…
public void registerGenericBeans(@Observes AfterBeanDiscovery abd) {
BeanBuilder<User> ubb = new BeanBuilder<User>(beanManager)
.readFromType(User.class)
.passivationCapable(true)
.addTypes(otherTypes);
if (weAreOnWeb)
ubb.scope(SessionScoped.class);
else
ubb.scope(ApplicationScoped.class);
abd.addBean(ubb.create());
}

26. DELTASPIKE MODULES

27. CONTAINER CONTROL
public class MainApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
CdiContainer cdiContainer = CdiContainerLoader.getCdiContainer();
cdiContainer.boot();
// Starting the application-context enables use of @ApplicationScoped beans
ContextControl contextControl = cdiContainer.getContextControl();
contextControl.startContext(ApplicationScoped.class);
// You can use CDI here
cdiContainer.shutdown();
}
}

28. TEST CONTROL EXAMPLES
@RunWith(CdiTestRunner.class)
public class MyCdiTest {
@Inject
private MyBean bean;
}
…
@RunWith(CdiTestSuiteRunner.class)
@Suite.SuiteClasses({ TestX.class, TestY.class})
public class SuiteLevelContainerControl{}
…
@RunWith(CdiTestRunner.class)
@TestControl(projectStage = CustomTestStage.class)
public class TestStageControl {
@Test
@TestControl(projectStage = ProjectStage.Development.class)
public void checkDevEnv(){}
}

29. SECURITY
@Retention(value = RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
@Target({ ElementType.TYPE, ElementType.METHOD })
@Documented
@SecurityBindingType
public @interface AdminOnly {}
…
@ApplicationScoped
public class ApplicationAuthorizer {
@Secures
@AdminOnly // Binding security to permission verifier
public boolean verifyPermission(InvocationContext invocationContext,
BeanManager manager, @Logged User user) throws Exception {
return user.getRole().equalsIgnoreCase("Admin");
}
}
…
@AdminOnly
public void startAdministrativeTask() {
// Only admins can start admin tasks
}

30. SCHEDULER
@Scheduled(cronExpression = "0 0/10 * * * ?")
public class CdiAwareQuartzJob implements org.quartz.Job
{
@Inject
private MyService service;
@Override
public void execute(JobExecutionContext context) throws JobExecutionException
{
//...
}
}

31. DATA MODULE

32. DATA MODULE
• Data module is an implementation of the repository pattern
• At the moment it only support RDBMS thru JPA
• But it could be extended to support other data services
• It uses the “partial bean” module to dynamically create
implementation at runtime

33. -Eric Evans (in Domain Driven Design)
« A Repository represents all objects of a certain
type as a conceptual set. It acts like a collection,
except with more elaborate querying capability.»
REPOSITORY PATTERN DEFINITION

34. SIMPLE EXAMPLE
@Repository //Repo definition to put an interface
public interface UserRepository extends EntityRepository<User, Long> {
// method signature creates the JPQL with the partial bean mechanism
public User findByUsernameAndPassword(String username, char[] password);
}
…
@Repository
public interface PostRepostiory extends EntityRepository<Post, Long> {
@Query("SELECT p FROM Post AS p WHERE p.author in (?1)")
public List<Post> findByFollowing(List<User> following);
}

35. JPA FUNCTIONS SUPPORTED
• count();
• findAll();
• findBy(PK);
• flush();
• refresh();
• remove();
• save();
• saveAndFlush();
