Spring 3.0 RC 2 and JSR-330 (Dependency Injection for Java)

SpringSource has published release candidate 2 of the upcoming 3.0 release of their Spring Framework. New Feature is the compliance with JSR-330 (“Dependency Injection for Java”). The JSR was developed together by Google (for their Guice Framework and SpringSource (for their Spring Framework) and is finally approved since 14.10.2009.

A little example shows how to develop services with interfaces and implementations without dependencies to Spring Framework or Google Guice:

a simple encode/decode interface

package de.schaeftlein.dev.spring;

public interface Encryption
{
  String encode(String value);
  String decode(String value);
}

a simple implementation for Encryption

package de.schaeftlein.dev.spring;

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;
import java.net.URLDecoder;
import java.net.URLEncoder;

import javax.inject.Named;

@Named // service name is the name of the class
public class URLEncoderEncyrption implements Encryption
{

  @Override
  public String decode(String value)
  {
    try
    {
      return URLDecoder.decode(value, "UTF-8");
    }
    catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
    {
      return null; // never happen
    }
  }

  @Override
  public String encode(String value)
  {
    try
    {
      return URLEncoder.encode(value, "UTF-8");
    }
    catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
    {
      return null; // never happen
    }
  }

}

a more secure implementation for Encryption

package de.schaeftlein.dev.spring;

import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
import javax.crypto.SecretKeyFactory;
import javax.crypto.spec.DESKeySpec;
import javax.inject.Named;

import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;

import com.sun.org.apache.xml.internal.security.utils.Base64;

@Named("secure") // named service bean
public class Base64Encyption implements Encryption
{
  private sun.misc.BASE64Encoder base64encoder;
  private SecretKey key;

  public Base64Encyption()
  {
    try
    {
      DESKeySpec keySpec = new DESKeySpec("Your secret Key phrase".getBytes("UTF8"));
      SecretKeyFactory keyFactory = SecretKeyFactory.getInstance("DES");
      key = keyFactory.generateSecret(keySpec);
      base64encoder = new BASE64Encoder();
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }

  @Override
  public String decode(String input)
  {
    try
    {
      Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES"); // cipher is not thread safe
      cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
      byte[] bOut = cipher.doFinal(Base64.decode(input.getBytes("UTF-8")));
      return new String(bOut, "UTF-8");
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
  }

  @Override
  public String encode(String plainTextPassword)
  {
    try
    {
      byte[] cleartext = plainTextPassword.getBytes("UTF8");

      Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DES"); // cipher is not thread safe
      cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
      return base64encoder.encode(cipher.doFinal(cleartext));
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
    return null;
  }

}

a small interface for a service

package de.schaeftlein.dev.spring;

public interface SecureUtil
{
  void compareEncryption(String input);
}

a implementation for our service

package de.schaeftlein.dev.spring;

import javax.inject.Inject;
import javax.inject.Named;

@Named("SecureUtil")
public class SecureUtilImpl implements SecureUtil
{
  @Inject // automatically set by DI framework
  @Named("secure") // get the namend bean
  private Encryption secureEncryption;
  
  @Inject // automatically set by DI framework
  @Named("URLEncoderEncyrption") // get the bean by its classname
  private Encryption unsecureEncryption;
  
  public void compareEncryption(String input){
    
    String encodedSecure = secureEncryption.encode(input);
    System.out.println("Secure encoded: "+encodedSecure);
    String encodeUnsecure = unsecureEncryption.encode(input);
    System.out.println("Unsecure encoded: "+encodeUnsecure);
    System.out.println("Secure decoded: "+secureEncryption.decode(encodedSecure));
    System.out.println("Unsecure decoded: "+unsecureEncryption.decode(encodeUnsecure));
  }
}

finally a main class for testing

package de.schaeftlein.dev.spring;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.AnnotationConfigApplicationContext;

public class Main
{

  /**
   * main method
   */
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    ApplicationContext ctx = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(Main.class.getPackage().getName()); // new way to get Application context without applicationContext.xml available
    SecureUtil util = ctx.getBean("SecureUtil", SecureUtil.class); // get bean with new generics method
    util.compareEncryption("an sample input string 1234567890");
  }

}

output of our Main class
