spring boot - integration test autowired interface no such bean found

I have a spring-boot app that now needs to support multiple Object stores and selectively use the desired store based on the environment. Essentially what i have done is create an interface that each store repository then implements.
I have simplified the code for the examples.
I have created 2 beans for each store type based on the spring profile determining the env:
#Profile("env1")
#Bean
public store1Sdk buildClientStore1() {
return new store1sdk();
}
#Profile("env2")
#Bean
public store2Sdk buildClientStore2() {
return new store2sdk();
}
in the service layer I have autowired the interface and then in the repositories i have used #Profile to specify which instance of the interface to use.
public interface ObjectStore {
String download(String fileObjectKey);
...
}
#Service
public class ObjectHandlerService {
#Autowired
private ObjectStore objectStore;
public String getObject(String fileObjectKey) {
return objectStore.download(fileObjectKey);
}
...
}
#Repository
#Profile("env1")
public class Store1Repository implements ObjectStore {
#Autowired
private Store1Sdk store1client;
public String download(String fileObjectKey) {
return store1client.getObject(storeName, fileObjectKey);
}
}
When I start the application with the configured "env" this actually runs as expected. however when running the test I get the "no qualifying bean of type ObjectStore. expected at least 1 bean which qualifies as autowire candidate."
#ExtendWith({ SpringExtension.class })
#SpringBootTest(classes = Application.class)
#ActiveProfiles("env1,test")
public class ComposerServiceTest {
#Autowired
private ObjectHandlerService service;
#Test
void download_success() {
String response = service.getObject("testKey");
...
}
}
As noted in the #ActiveProfile on the test class there are some other environments e.g. dev,test,prod. I have tried playing around with Component scan, having impl and interface in the same package, etc, to no success. I feel like I am missing something obvious with the test setup. But could be something with my overall application config? my main aim with the solution is to avoid having something a long the lines of
if (store1Sdk != null) {
store1Sdk.download(fileObjectKey);
}
if (store2Sdk != null) {
store2Sdk.download(fileObjectKey);
}

Try #ActiveProfiles({"env1", "test"}).
Activate multiple profiles using #ActiveProfiles and specify profiles as an array.

this probrom because Store1Repository use #Profile("env1"), when you use #test,this class not invoke. try delete #Profile("env1") of Store1Repository.
if you use #test, both of store1Sdk/store2Sdk don't instanse, try add default instanse.eg:
#Bean
public store2Sdk buildClientStoreDefault() {
return new store2sdk();
}

Class based on factory class not available for autowiring

I'm trying to learn the basics of Spring and have defined this class?
public class Processor {
public Processor() {
this.setup();
}
private void setup(){
//run some setup code
}
public String processString(String str) {
// process the string
return str;
}
}
I want to Spring enable this class so I use a factory bean:
Reading https://www.baeldung.com/spring-factorybean I use:
public class Processor implements FactoryBean<Processor> {
#Override
public Processor getObject() throws Exception {
return new Processor();
}
#Override
public Class<?> getObjectType() {
return Processor.class;
}
}
To Test:
#RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
#ContextConfiguration(classes = ProcessorFactory.class)
public class ProcessorTest {
#Autowired
private Processor processor;
#Test
public void testProcessor() {
//Some tests
}
}
This works as expected.
When I try to use
#Autowired
private Processor processor;
elsewhere in my project I receive compile-time error :
Could not autowire. No beans of 'Processor' type found.
Have I not setup the factory correctly? I should annotate the Processor object to indicate it is to be autowired ? Perhaps this is not a valid use case for Factory ?

In general, factory beans are pretty outdated, first spring versions indeed used this approach, but spring has evolved since that time.
The Factory bean itself should be registered in the spring configuration (the very first versions of spring used xml based configuration because Java Annotation did not exist at that time) so the tutorial contains the XML configuration example. Anyway, that's probably the reason of failure. In the test you should also specify the path to the xml configuration otherwise the factory bean won't be loaded.
You can use these factory beans (they're still supported) but they have the following downsides:
They couple your code to the spring framework
A lot of boilerplate (usually in typical application there can be hundreds of beans, so creating a Factory Bean for each one is an overkill).
So you can:
Instead of using Factory Beans, annotate the Processor with #Component annotation (or more specialized #Service).
Alternatively Use Java configuration:
#Configration
public class MyConfig {
#Bean
public Processor processor() {
// optionally slightly customize the creation of the class if required;
return new Processor();
}
}

#Producer annotation in Java EE

I am learning Java EE CDI, dependency injection, and #Produces in particular. I am wondering why in getGreedingCard() method, it needs a #Produces annotation at all, since the two classes GreetingCardImpl and AnotherGreetingCardImpl are already imported into the space. This is just like the regular package/class dependency and a simple import solves the problem. Why does it need a dependency injection through a #producer annotation?
Thanks for explanation in advance.
public interface GreetingCard {
void sayHello();
}
public class GreetingCardImpl implements GreetingCard {
public void sayHello() {
System.out.println("Hello!!!");
}
}
public class AnotherGreetingCardImpl implements GreetingCard {
public void sayHello() {
System.out.println("Have a nice day!!!");
}
}
import com.javacodegeeks.snippets.enterprise.cdibeans.impl.AnotherGreetingCardImpl;
import com.javacodegeeks.snippets.enterprise.cdibeans.impl.GreetingCardImpl;
#SessionScoped
public class GreetingCardFactory implements Serializable {
private GreetingType greetingType;
#Produces
public GreetingCard getGreetingCard() {
switch (greetingType) {
case HELLO:
return new GreetingCardImpl();
case ANOTHER_HI:
return new AnotherGreetingCardImpl();
default:
return new GreetingCardImpl();
}
}
}

I am wondering why in getGreedingCard() method, it needs a #Produces
annotation at all, since the two classes GreetingCardImpl and
AnotherGreetingCardImpl are already imported into the space.
Well, it's not that getGreetingCard needs the #Produces annotation. The point is to enable other classes to recieve GreetingCards via Dependency Injection.
public class Foo {
#Inject // <--- will invoke #Producer method
GreetingCard foosGreetingCard
...
}
See here for more details:
A producer method is a method that acts as a source of bean instances.
The method declaration itself describes the bean and the container
invokes the method to obtain an instance of the bean when no instance
exists in the specified context.

In your case it doesn't need #Produces as you will be injecting factory bean and using its method directly to create instances, and not injecting the greetingCard beans themseleves.
#Inject
GreetingCardFactory factory;
...
GreetingCard card = factory.getGreetingCard();
If you would define it as #Produces method, and the try to inject GreetingCard, then you would get exception that I've described in the comment.
However, if you would additionally create qualifier, like this:
#Qualifier
#Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME)
#Target({ElementType.METHOD, ElementType.FIELD, ElementType.PARAMETER, ElementType.TYPE})
public #interface ProducedCard {}
and add it to the producer method:
#Produces #ProducedCard
public GreetingCard getGreetingCard() {
...
then you would be able to inject just GreetingCard beans using your producer method like this:
#Inject #ProducedCard
GreetingCard card;
since now there is no ambiguity, as there is only one place to create greeting cards marked with #ProducedCard :-)

How to provide a default bean in Spring by condition?

I'd like to provide a default bean by a custom jar. Only if the user implements a specific abstract class the default bean injection should be skipped.
The following setup already works fine, except one thing: any injected classes within the default wired class are null! What might I be missing?
#Configration
public class AppConfig {
//use the default service if the user does not provide an own implementation
#Bean
#Conditional(MissingServiceBean.class)
public MyService myService() {
return new MyService() {};
}
}
#Component
public abstract class MyService {
#Autowired
private SomeOtherService other;
//default impl of the method, that may be overridden
public void run() {
System.out.println(other); //null! Why?
}
}
public class MissingServiceBean implements Condition {
#Override
public boolean matches(ConditionContext context, AnnotatedTypeMetadata metadata) {
return context.getBeanFactory().getBeansOfType(MyService.class).isEmpty();
}
}
The MyService bean is created and can also be injected. But contained classes are null.
If I remove the #Conditioanl annotation everything works as expected.

Your simplest possibility is the usage of the #Primary annotation. You define your interface/abstract class and build a default implementation. Until here thats the basic spring autowiring.
Now you create another implementation with #Primary and make it available in the application context. Spring will now pick up the primary implementation for the autowiring.
Another possibilty in Spring 4.1+ would be to autowire an ordered List<Intf> and ask the interface with a supports(...) call to fetch the current implementation for whatever parameter you give into supports. You give the default implementation a low priority and the more detailed ones a higher priority. Like this you can even build a more detailed default behavior. I'm using this approach for several configurations to handle different classes with default and specific implementations.
One example would be during permission evaluation where we have a default config for the base classes, another higher one for domain classes, and a even higher possible one for specific domain entities. The permission evaluator goes through the list and checks each implementation if it supports that class and delegates to the implementation in that case.
I dont have the code here but i could share it later if desired to make that more clear.

Change your code to the following:
public abstract class MyService {
private final SomeOtherService other;
public MyService(SomeOtherService other) {
this.other = other;
}
//default impl of the method, that may be overridden
public void run() {
System.out.println(other);
}
}
#Configration
public class AppConfig {
#Autowired
private SomeOtherService other;
//use the default service if the user does not provide an own implementation
#Bean
#Condition(MissingServiceBean.class)
public MyService myService() {
return new MyService(other) {};
}
}

Reflection + spring dependency injection

I'm trying to understand if I can combine reflection with spring dependency injection as the following:
public interface ClientCommand {
public void execute(...);
public static enum Command {
SomeCommand(SomeCommand.class);
private Class<? extends ClientCommand> clazz;
private Command(Class<? extends ClientCommand> clazz) {
this.clazz = clazz;
}
public Class<? extends ClientCommand> getClazz() {
return clazz;
}
public static ClientCommand getClientCommand(String name) {
Command command = Enum.valueOf(Command.class, name);
return command.getClazz().newInstance();
}
}
}
This will create an instance of a command class based on the name passed in getClientCommand.
This is an example of class extending ClientCommand:
public class LoginCommand implements ClientCommand {
#Autowired
private UserRepository userRepository;
public void setUserRepository(#Qualifier("userRepository")UserRepository userRepository) {
this.userRepository = userRepository;
}
public void execute(...) {
...
}
}
And the repository is something like:
#Repository("userRepository")
public class UserRepositoryImpl implements UserRepository {
....
}
When the LoginCommand.execute() method is executed, the UserRepository is null.
If I use the newInstance() to create the object, does spring care at all to inject the dependencies?
More than for practical use, is to understand if is theoretically possible to get this code working.
Thanks in advance

To answer this question:
If I use the newInstance() to create the object, does spring care at all to inject the dependencies?
I will answer with no, not by default. Spring will only inject dependencies on objects that Spring is in control of, and if you are using reflection to instantiate it, or the new operator, then you are the one in control, not Spring.
But, there is hope. You can use AspectJ to do bytecode weaving when the new operator is used, or even when Class.newInstance() is used.
Take a look at this Spring documentation for more on this approach.

Since you're creating the object on your own Spring will not do dependency injection on the object. It will also not add any AOP proxies for it if its configured to do that.
You can either use AspectJ to instrument your code by adding the logic necessary to do dependency injection on the instance. This is done completely transparently.
Or you can do it yourself by using AutowireCapableBeanFactory. It's a semi-internal interface that you can use and its intended for just this purpose. It has a set of methods that do various parts of creating and injecting, you'll probably need the createBean() method.
You can get an AutowireCapableBeanFactory by calling getAutowireCapableBeanFactory on your ApplicationContext.
In your case it would probably be a good idea to create a CommandFactory, make that implement ApplicationContextAware and have a method like createCommand() that calls createBean().
