Migrating a Hibernate Application from JPA 1.0 to 2.0

Spring 3.0.1 explicit supports the second release candidate of hibernate 3.5 aka 3.5-CR-2. Migration is very easy with maven:

old pom.xml (part) for hibernate 2.3 and jpa 1.0

		
		
			cglib
			cglib-nodep
			2.1_3
		
		
			org.hibernate
			hibernate-annotations
			3.2.0.ga
		
		
			org.hibernate
			hibernate
			3.2.6.ga
		
		
			javax.persistence
			persistence-api
			1.0

new pom.xml (part) for hibernate 3.5 and jpa 2.0

		
			org.hibernate
			hibernate-entitymanager
			3.5.0-CR-2
		
		
			org.hibernate.java-persistence
			jpa-api
			2.0-cr-1

Tomcat 6 Problems on Ubuntu 9.10

The default behavior of the tomcat6 server installed from the ubuntu repository is to forbid any read operation of System.getProperty(). I used tomcat6 as deployment target for the hudson builds on the same machine. AspectJ is used in a sample Spring 3 REST application. Tomcat6 logs (catalina-…log) shows the following exception

Caused by: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.util.PropertyPermission org.aspectj.tracing.debug read)
        at java.security.AccessControlContext.checkPermission(AccessControlContext.java:323)
        at java.security.AccessController.checkPermission(AccessController.java:546)
        at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPermission(SecurityManager.java:532)
        at java.lang.SecurityManager.checkPropertyAccess(SecurityManager.java:1285)
        at java.lang.System.getProperty(System.java:686)

        at org.aspectj.weaver.tools.TraceFactory.(TraceFactory.java:21)
        ... 68 more

Updating aspectj in the maven pom to the latest version 1.6.8 doesn’t solve
the problem. The same war file works under windows with tomcat 6.0.24 without any problems. An Forum entry shows the right hint. Inside the init script
/etc/init.d/tomcat6 is default TOMCAT_SECURITY set to true, which forces the /etc/tomcat6/policy.d/* policies to be used in every web
application inside tomcat. 

# Use the Java security manager? (yes/no)
TOMCAT6_SECURITY=yes

So the solution can be quick (set the TOMCAT_SECURITY property inside the init script to no) or a bit more complicated (set a new policy for your web application as new file inside the policy.d folder). The problem with the more complicated one is that you need to know every security relevant operation to write the policy file).

JUnit Tests for Spring 3 Rest Services

SpringSource has recently released 3.0.1 of their Spring Framework. Spring 3 extended the REST functionalities inside the Web MVC part of the Framework. Rest Service are defined as Controller and can be tested with the new Resttemplate. In this little sample project is Spring 3 combined with JUnit 4, Maven, Hibernate 3.2, Jetty, MySQL, JPA, JAXB and AspectJ. Additional tests was made with Poster as a Firefox Plugin to test REST bases Webservices. Jetty 6.1 is used as embedded container for the web application as backend for the seperated maven integration tests. Jetty can be started with mvn jetty:run for tests with Poster or will be started before the integration tests runs with mvn integration-test. The Project is configured via Maven pom.xml as seen later in this post. Via mvn eclipse:eclipse will the eclipse settings generated to use the project as WTP project. I used Maven 2.2.1 in combination with eclipse 3.5.2.. As backend infrastructure runs inside Ubuntu 9.1 Server a Bugzilla 3, Artifactory 2.2.1, Subversion 1.6 and a Hudson 1.348.

REST as representational state transferr has less protocol overhead as SOAP. It heavily depends on HTTP mechanism like PUT, GET, DELETE or POST method calls or HTTP accept header definition of the mime type like ‘text/xml’, ‘text/plain’ or ‘image/jpeg’ to define delivered and expected content. So you make a HTTP GET request with an accept header ‘image/jpeg’ with a url like http://myserver/restservice/1 in firefox to see their a picture of catalog item with id 1. A HTTP Post send data to the server as new data and a PUT override existing data. HTTP 1.1 defines a list of methods to use in your REST based Service.

The whole project is Java annotation driven and use JDK 1.6 but can easily switched to run with JDK 1.5 as well. Configuration is Spring based as IOC pattern and as annotations inside the Java classes. XML content is converted by JAXB Marshaller to use only domain objects inside your business logic. Persistence is defined as JPA annotations with Hibernate as implementation against a MySQL 5 database. The code was inspired by a blog from Solomon Duskis.

ide for testing JDK 7 features (Milestone 5: Build b76)

Sun has published milestone 5 (b76) of the upcoming Java JDK 7. JDK 7 release is currently scheduled for September 2010. My standard IDE is eclipse but the current production version 3.5 SR 1 support only Java up to JDK 6. I tried the new eclipse e4 1.0 milestone 2 (status: technical preview) which has JDK support up to JDK 7. You can define a JDK 7 as new JRE and create a new Java project with that JRE and compiler compliance level JDK 1.7. According to Joseph Darcy from SUN is a developer build of Netbeans available with support for JDK 7. I tested with code from CertPal which includes several features of JDK 7. Eclipse e4 still complain about compiler errors but the developer build of netbeans can compile and run the sample code. Check in netbeans under tools -> Java platform the availability of JDK 7 and create a new java project. Set in the java project under properties the source/binary format to jdk 1.7 (sources tab) and choose as java platform JDK 1.7 (libraries tab). On OpenJDK is a overview of the current implemented features of JDK 7 in the M5 version. Mark Reinhold from sun blogs as well about the new features. A more complete list of features which was formerly planned shows Alex Miller in his blog.

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
