Transforming JPA related beans to JavaConfig

There is no equivalent as yet to jee:jndi-lookup, though it is planned for. It would be helpful if you would create a feature request in JIRA for this. You can follow the example of http://jira.springframework.org/browse/SJC-96 when you do this.

In the meantime, you can directly use http://static.springframework.org/sp...ctoryBean.html. This is a more low-level approach, but will work just fine.

Chris,

I submitted a reply and it did not show up till now. So re-posting it.

I logged a JIRA for this issue (jira.springframework.org/browse/SJC-197).

Do you think the following should work?

Code:

---

  public @Bean EntityManagerFactory entityManagerFactory() {
    LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean em = new LocalContainerEntityManagerFactoryBean();
    em.setPersistenceUnitName("flux");
    em.setJpaProperties(getJpaProperties());
    em.setDataSource(jndiDataSource());
    em.setJpaVendorAdapter(jpaVendorAdapter());
    em.setLoadTimeWeaver(loadTimeWeaver());
    return (EntityManagerFactory) this.getObject(em);
  }

  public @Bean DataSource jndiDataSource() {
    JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiObjectFactoryBean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySqlDataSource");
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setCache(true);
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setLookupOnStartup(false);
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setProxyInterface(javax.sql.DataSource.class);
    return (DataSource) this.getObject(jndiObjectFactoryBean);
  }

Thanks!

At a glance, yes it should work. Also note that ConfigurationSupport.getObject() now has a generics-enabled variant. See the last line below (saves you the cast):

public @Bean DataSource jndiDataSource() {
JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiObjectFactoryBean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
jndiObjectFactoryBean.setJndiName("java:comp/env/jdbc/MySqlDataSource");
jndiObjectFactoryBean.setCache(true);
jndiObjectFactoryBean.setLookupOnStartup(false);
jndiObjectFactoryBean.setProxyInterface(javax.sql. DataSource.class);
return this.getObject(jndiObjectFactoryBean, DataSource.class);
}

Thanks Chris for the tip.

I currently have the following bean configurations.

Code:

---

  @Bean
  public DataSource dataSource() {
    ComboPooledDataSource dataSource = new ComboPooledDataSource();
    try {
      dataSource.setDriverClass(driverClass());
    } catch (PropertyVetoException pve) {

    }
    dataSource.setJdbcUrl(jdbcUrl());
    dataSource.setUser(user());
    dataSource.setPassword(password());
    dataSource.setMinPoolSize(minPoolSize());
    dataSource.setAcquireIncrement(acquireIncrement());
    dataSource.setMaxPoolSize(maxPoolSize());
    return dataSource;
  }

  @Bean
  public DataSource jndiDataSource() {
    JndiObjectFactoryBean jndiObjectFactoryBean = new JndiObjectFactoryBean();
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setJndiName(dataSourceJndiName());//dynamic
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setCache(true);
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setLookupOnStartup(false);
    jndiObjectFactoryBean.setProxyInterface(javax.sql.DataSource.class);
    return this.getObject(jndiObjectFactoryBean, DataSource.class);
  }

Is it possible to dynamically use one of these configuration at runtime? If the user provide standalone datasource, I need to use dataSource() config. If the user provides jndi datasource, I need to use jndiDataSource() config.

Please clarify.

I have the following bean configuration.

Code:

---

@EnvironmentValueSource
@Configuration
public abstract class ApplicationConfiguration {

    abstract
    @ExternalValue("database_type")
    String databaseType();
}

@Configuration
@AnnotationDrivenTx
@PropertiesValueSource(locations = "classpath:config.properties")
@Import({DataSourceConfiguration.class, ApplicationConfiguration.class})
@ComponentScan({"dao.impl", "service.impl"})
public abstract class JpaConfiguration extends ConfigurationSupport {

    abstract
    @ExternalBean
    String databaseType();
    //omitted other methods for clarity
}

---

I am getting the following error when I try to access the bean which uses databaseType(). I have imported the external bean too. Not sure what I am missing here.

Code:

Appreciate any help.

Thanks!

Arul,

@ExternalValue methods are not registered as beans, so they will not be resolved by trying to reference them with @ExternalBean.

I understand what you're trying to do here, but it's not supported. Feel free to add a request in JIRA so we can keep tabs on this.

In the meantime, one option would be to use a base class approach:

Code:

---

@Configuration
@EnvironmentVariableSource
public class BaseConfig {
    protected @ExternalValue("database_type") String databaseType;
}

@Configuration
public class ConcreteConfig extends BaseConfig {
    public @Bean Foo beanThatNeedsDatabaseType() {
        return new Foo(this.databaseType);
    }
}

---

Also, please post any future new questions in a new forum thread so that others can easily find answers to similar questions.

Thanks Chris. I will post my further questions in new forum thread.

Created a JIRA for this issue: jira.springframework.org/browse/SJC-198

Thanks!
