Spring annotation based SAP connector

I'm trying to move from a xml based config to java annotations
I need your help getting this to work:
Obviously I can't set the RemoteJco interface to my SapConnector but what can I do to get this xml-config working?
#Bean
public RmiProxyFactoryBean jcoPool(){
RmiProxyFactoryBean jcoPool = new RmiProxyFactoryBean();
jcoPool.setServiceUrl("rmi://localhost/CH");
jcoPool.setServiceInterface(RemoteJco.class);
jcoPool.setRefreshStubOnConnectFailure(true);
return jcoPool;
}
#Bean
public SapConnector SapConnector(){
SapConnector sapConnector = new SapConnector();
sapConnector.setJcoPool(jcoPool());
return sapConnector;
}
this in the XML-Config works just fine:
<!-- JCO-Pool RMI Service -->
<bean id="jcoPool" class="org.springframework.remoting.rmi.RmiProxyFactoryBean">
<property name="serviceUrl" value="rmi://localhost/CH"/>
<property name="serviceInterface" value="com.itensis.jco.common.RemoteJco"/>
<property name="refreshStubOnConnectFailure" value="true" />
</bean>
<bean id="SapConnector" class="com.itensis.core.SapConnector">
<property name="jcoPool">
<ref bean="jcoPool" />
</property>
</bean>
this is my SAP-Connector
#Service
public class SapConnector {
#Autowired private RemoteJco jcoPool;
public RemoteJco getJcoPool() {
return jcoPool;
}
public void setJcoPool(RemoteJco jcoPool) {
this.jcoPool = jcoPool;
}
}

You have to make some changes on the jcoPool bean:
#Bean
public RemoteJco jcoPool(){
RmiProxyFactoryBean jcoPool = new RmiProxyFactoryBean();
jcoPool.setServiceUrl("rmi://localhost/CH");
jcoPool.setServiceInterface(RemoteJco.class);
jcoPool.setRefreshStubOnConnectFailure(true);
jcoPool.afterPropertiesSet();
return (RemoteJco) jcoPool.getObject();
}
Make sure that you return value has the same class as you used as service interface. And you have to call afterPropertiesSet() before calling getObject on the RmiProxyFacotoryBean instance.

Invoke static method from spring config

Is it possible to invoke static method in Spring configuration file?
public MyClass {
public static void staticMethod() {
//do something
}
}
<bean id="myBean" class="MyClass">
<!-- invoke here -->
</bean>

When the static method creates an instance of MyClass you an do it like this
config
<bean id="myBean" class="MyClass" factory-method="staticMethod">
<!-- invoke here -->
</bean>
code
public static MyClass staticMethod() {
//create and Configure a new Instance
}
If you want the method only to be called on bean instantiation spring can't do it this way.
config
<bean id="myBean" class="MyClass" init-method="init">
<!-- invoke here -->
</bean>
code
public static void staticMethod() {
//create and Configure a new Instance
}
public void init() {
staticMethod();
}

try this
<bean id="b1" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingBean">
<property name="staticMethod" value="MyClass.staticMethod" />
</bean>
see http://docs.spring.io/spring/docs/current/javadoc-api/org/springframework/beans/factory/config/MethodInvokingBean.html

Try something like this:
<!-- call static method -->
<bean id="test" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.MethodInvokingFactoryBean">
<property name="targetClass" value="MyClass" />
<property name="targetMethod" value="staticMethod" />
<property name="arguments">
<list>
<value>anArgument</value>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
Remove arguments as you might not need them.

I was needing to call a static method. The above code worked fine.
This might be useful as well: How to make spring inject value into a static field.

If you are using annotations for spring configuration you can add the following method into your #Configuration class:
#Bean
public MethodInvokingFactoryBean methodInvokingFactoryBean() {
MethodInvokingFactoryBean methodInvokingFactoryBean = new MethodInvokingFactoryBean();
methodInvokingFactoryBean.setStaticMethod("MyClass.staticMethod");
return methodInvokingFactoryBean;
}

Spring message source, getMessage in bean XML?

I have set up my resources like this:
<bean id="messageSource"
class="org.springframework.context.support.ResourceBundleMessageSource">
<property name="basename">
<value>locale\\messages</value>
</property>
</bean>
My propertyFile:
battle.name=TestBattle
I would like to reach the text "TestBattle" when I use a bean:
<bean id="battlefield" class="com.mypackage.Battlefield" scope="prototype">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="battle.name" />
<constructor-arg index="1" ref="armies" />
</bean>
I want to refeer the message in the propertyFile in this line
<constructor-arg index="0" value="battle.name" />
Is there a way to do it without going into java using the
getMessage("battle.name",...
code in java?

At least, you could use spel to do it.
for example
<bean id="messageSourceAccessor" class="org.springframework.context.support.MessageSourceAccessor">
<constructor-arg ref="messageSource" />
</bean>
<bean id="battlefield" class="com.mypackage.Battlefield" scope="prototype">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="#{messageSourceAccessor.getMessage('battle.name')}" />
<constructor-arg index="1" ref="armies" />
</bean>
However it seems cumbersome if you have to translate many codes.
Other option is using a String to String PropertyEditor to do the translation.
public class MessageSourcePropertyEditor extends PropertyEditorSupport {
private MessageSourceAccessor messageSourceAccessor;
public MessageSourcePropertyEditor(MessageSource messageSource) {
this.messageSourceAccessor = new MessageSourceAccessor(messageSource);
}
#Override
public void setAsText(String text) throws IllegalArgumentException {
String value = text;
if (text.startsWith("i18n:")) {
value = messageSourceAccessor.getMessage(text.substring(5));
}
setValue(value);
}
}
public class MessageEditorRegistrar implements PropertyEditorRegistrar {
private MessageSource messageSource;
#Override
public void registerCustomEditors(PropertyEditorRegistry registry) {
registry.registerCustomEditor(String.class, new MessageSourcePropertyEditor(messageSource));
}
public MessageSource getMessageSource() {
return messageSource;
}
public void setMessageSource(MessageSource messageSource) {
this.messageSource = messageSource;
}
}
And use the prefix i18n: to translate codes, ie
<bean id="propertyEditorConfigure" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.CustomEditorConfigurer">
<property name="propertyEditorRegistrars">
<list>
<bean class="message.MessageEditorRegistrar">
<property name="messageSource" ref="messageSource" />
</bean>
</list>
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="battlefield" class="com.mypackage.Battlefield" scope="prototype">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="i18n:battle.name" />
<constructor-arg index="1" ref="armies" />
</bean>

Instantiating an object from bean using constructor args and refs

I've a class which takes in 2 Object Injections. 1 of them is to be injected through other bean ref whereas the other injected based on bean call. I want to instantiate an object using spring. How can I do this ?
I tried doing this:
MyBean Class:
class MyBean{
Injection1 ijn1;
MyBean(Injection1 ijn1,Injection2 ijn2){
this.ijn1=ijn1;
this.ijn2=ijn2;
}
}
Beans.xml
<bean name="myBean" class="MyBean" scope="prototype">
<constructor-arg>
<null />
</constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg>
<ref bean="injection2" />
</constructor-arg>
</bean>
<bean name="injection2" class="Injection2">
</bean>
Application Code:
MyBean getMyBean(Injection ijn1) {
return (MyBean)context.getBean("myBean", new Object[] { ijn1 })
}
But this doesn't works.
Any tips ?

You code doesn't work because spring looks for a MyBean's constructor like MyBean(Injection1 ijn1); you have to pass injection2 in this way.
MyBean getMyBean(Injection ijn1) {
return (MyBean)context.getBean("myBean", new Object[] { ijn1, context.getBean("injection2") })
}
If you want to use your code another way is to have partial inject in this way:
class MyBean{
Injection1 ijn1;
Injection2 ijn2;
MyBean(Injection1 ijn1){
this.ijn1=ijn1;
}
public void setIjn2(Injection2 ijn2I ) {
this.ijn2 = ijn2;
}
}
and in xml
<bean name="myBean" class="MyBean" scope="prototype">
<property name="inj2" ref="injection2" />
</bean>
<bean name="injection2" class="Injection2">
</bean>

NPE when injection class in spring

I have problem when injection class.
In my configuration I have one class which setting level of login and then one variable for setting level:
<bean id="config" class="..." init-method="init">
<property name="log4jConfig" ref="log4j" />
<property name="levelLogging" value="9" />
</bean>
and code:
public void setlevelLogging(Integer level) {
if (level == null) {
set0();
} else {
switch (level) {
case 0:
set0();
break;
case 9:
set9();
}
}
this.level = level;
}
private void set0() {
log4jConfig.setLoggerLevel("org.springframework.ws.server.MessageTracing", "OFF");
log4jConfig.setLoggerLevel("org.app", "INFO");
log4jConfig.setLoggerLevel("org.springframework.ws.client.MessageTracing", "OFF");
}
public void setLog4jConfig(Log4jConfigJmx log4jConfig) {
this.log4jConfig = log4jConfig;
}
when I want to run this code I got NPE because log4jConfig is null when is setlevelLogging calling.
How I can solve this exception ?
now I exclude this class from properties and creating new class in configClass:
Log4jConfigJmx log4jConfig = new Log4jConfigJmx()
but I dont think this is good idea
EDIT:
I try example below but I have still some problem:
first I got this exception:
[ERROR] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Superclass has no null constructors but no arguments were given
because I am using transactional and AOP so I add default constructor to the class so I have two of them:
public Config() {
}
public Config(Log4jConfigJmx log4jConfig, Integer level) {
this.log4jConfig = log4jConfig;
setlevelLoggin(level);
}
setlevelLogging ...
<bean id="config" class="..." init-method="init">
<constructor-arg index="0" ref="log4j" />
<constructor-arg index="1" value="9" />
</bean>
but now I have still NPE
pls help

You should place the code from the method setLoggingLevel in the init method.
Only leave this.level = level so it is a plain setter.
The init method is called after all the properties have been set.
----EDIT after comment----
After you comment I suggest you use a constructor:
public Class(Integer level, Log4jConfigJmx log4jConfig){
this.log4jConfig = log4jConfig;
setLevelLogging(level);
}
<bean id="config" class="..." init-method="init">
<constructor-arg index="0" value="9"/>
<constructor-arg index="1" ref="log4j"/>
</bean>

You can use constructor-args like this:
<bean id="config" class="..." init-method="init">
<constructor-arg><ref bean="anotherExampleBean"/></constructor-arg>
<constructor-arg type="int"><value>9</value></constructor-arg>
</bean>
Then your constructor can initialise both variables whilst keeping your setter methods in place.
E.g.
public MyClass(Log4jConfigJmx log4jConfig, Integer level) {
this.log4jConfig = log4jConfig;
this.setLevelLogging(level);
}
You can also try making the log4jConfig autowired.
Change your bean config back to:
<bean id="config" class="..." init-method="init">
<property name="levelLogging" value="9" />
</bean>
And then simply annotate a field in your class to be autowired:
#Autowired
private Log4jConfigJmx log4jConfig;
Add this at the top of your spring context to enable annotations:
<context:annotation-config />
