| |
| The Core module provides fundamental and defining DeltaSpike API and utility classes. As such, this module must be included in every project that uses DeltaSpike. |
| Instructions for configuring your projects to use the DeltaSpike Core module are detailed in |
| <<configure#, Configure DeltaSpike in Your Projects>> as part of the general instructions for configuring your projects for DeltaSpike. |
| |
| == Project Setup |
| |
| Add Core-API and Core-Impl to your project as detailed in <<configure#, Configure DeltaSpike Core in Your Projects>>. For Maven-independent projects, see <<configure#config-maven-indep,Configure DeltaSpike Core in Maven-independent Projects>>. |
| |
| == DeltaSpike Configuration |
| |
| DeltaSpike provides a very flexible application configuration mechanism. Its main goal is to make it possible |
| to never have to rebuild a project just for the sake of adjusting configuration values. It respects the usual |
| software development cycle and takes into account project stages, various configuration sources and resolution |
| mechanisms. Configuration can be overridden just by dropping a JAR into the classpath. |
| |
| Detailed documentation is available on a separate page: <<configuration.adoc#,Configuration>>. |
| |
| == DeltaSpike CipherService |
| |
| Apache DeltaSpike also provides an <<encryption#, Encryption>> mechanism for handling secret values within your application. |
| |
| === Internal configuration |
| |
| The functionality of DeltaSpike itself and its modules is adjustable using the same mechanism. There are two main |
| types of internal configuration: |
| |
| * *static configuration:* certain configurable options, like the maximum number of windows in the window scope or the |
| priority for DeltaSpike's global interceptors, are defined using the DeltaSpike configuration mechanism and can be |
| adjusted by redefining their value in the `apache-deltaspike.properties` file, as described in the |
| <<configuration.adoc#,documentation>>. All of these configuration options and their corresponding properties can be |
| found as members of interfaces extending `DeltaSpikeBaseConfig`, e.g. `CoreBaseConfig` which configures the core |
| module. |
| |
| * *dynamic configuration:* certain values can change dynamically during runtime and some may differ even among |
| contexts. For example, much of the behaviour of the JSF module is configured in `JsfModuleConfig`. To override any of |
| the default configuration options, the `JsfModuleConfig` bean can be overridden using a custom implementation of |
| `JsfModuleConfig` which would be annotated `@Alternative` or `@Specializes`. All of the dynamic CDI-based |
| configuration beans can be found as implementations of the `DeltaSpikeConfig` interface. |
| |
| == BeanProvider |
| |
| The `BeanProvider` utility class provides static methods for manual lookup of bean instances in places where |
| standard injection is not available or if the lookup depends on dynamic conditions. |
| |
| WARNING: `BeanProvider` is only used to look up normal-scoped contextual |
| instances. To obtain instances of dependent-scoped beans, use <<_dependentprovider, DependentProvider>>. |
| |
| NOTE: The term 'contextual instance' is used instead of 'bean' because that's the term used by CDI itself. |
| |
| The following example shows a simple lookup. With the second parameter |
| it is possible to specify if the contextual instance is optional. If it |
| is not expected that the contextual instance is optional, but no instance |
| has been found, an `IllegalStateException` will be thrown. |
| |
| .Resolving a Simple Contextual Instance |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MyBean myBean = BeanProvider.getContextualReference(MyBean.class, false); |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Pass `true` as second argument, if you look for an implementation of the |
| given interface and an implementation is not required or it is not |
| required that there is an instance with the given qualifier (see the |
| qualifier example for further details). |
| |
| .Resolving an Optional Contextual Instance |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MyServiceInterface optionalService = BeanProvider.getContextualReference(MyServiceInterface.class, true); |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Optionally you can provide a qualifier for the contextual instance in |
| question. CDI qualifiers are annotations, therefore you need to |
| implement a corresponding literal for providing an instance. |
| |
| .Literal Implementation for '@MyQualifier' |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| import javax.enterprise.util.AnnotationLiteral; |
| //... |
| |
| public class MyQualifierLiteral extends AnnotationLiteral<MyQualifier> implements MyQualifier |
| { |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The following example will return a contextual instance with the |
| qualifier `@MyQualifier`. |
| |
| .Resolving a Simple Contextual Instance with Qualifier |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MyBean myBean = BeanProvider.getContextualReference(MyBean.class, false, new MyQualifierLiteral()); |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The `@Named` qualifier has a special role and allows to specify a string |
| based name (e.g. for referencing CDI beans in EL-expressions). However, |
| the following examples show how to do a manual lookup by name. |
| |
| .Resolving a Simple Contextual Instance by Name |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Object myBean = BeanProvider.getContextualReference("myBean", false); |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| .Resolving a Simple Contextual Instance by Name and Expected Type |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| MyBean myBean = BeanProvider.getContextualReference("myBean", false, MyBean.class); |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Sometimes it is essential to resolve all contextual instances which |
| implement for example an interface or all beans with the same type but a |
| different qualifier. The following example shows how to do such a lookup |
| which returns all contextual instances (independent of the scope -> also |
| dependent scoped instances). |
| |
| .Resolving All Contextual Instances of a Given Type |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| List<MyServiceInterface> myServiceList = BeanProvider.getContextualReferences(MyServiceInterface.class, false); |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Since dependent scoped beans have a special role in CDI (you have to |
| destroy them manually - especially if you get them via a manual lookup), you |
| can also call the previous util method with an additional parameter to |
| filter dependent scoped instances. |
| |
| .Resolving All Contextual Instances of a Given Type without Dependent-scoped Instances |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| List<MyServiceInterface> myServiceList = BeanProvider.getContextualReferences(MyServiceInterface.class, false, false); |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Furthermore, it is possible to trigger the injection of fields of any |
| given instance, if it was not done by the container (e.g. because the |
| class is in a jar-file without beans.xml) and `@Inject` is used for 1-n |
| fields. |
| |
| .Manually Inject Fields |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------ |
| BeanProvider.injectFields(myObject); |
| ------------------------------------ |
| |
| === DependentProvider |
| |
| `DependentProvider` must be used instead of `BeanProvider` to obtain instances of dependent-scoped beans to allow for |
| their proper destruction. |
| |
| When obtaining contextual instances using `@Inject`, the normal-scoped ones get destroyed along with their associated |
| context. However, instances of dependent-scoped beans -- as implied by their name -- depend on the lifecycle of |
| the contextual instance which declares them and get destroyed along with this declaring bean's instance. |
| |
| However, if dependent-scoped instances are obtained programmatically using `DependentProvider`, there's no |
| "declaring bean" to speak of and they *must be destroyed manually*. |
| |
| .Obtaining and destroying an instance of a dependent-scoped bean using DependentProvider |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| DependentProvider<MyBean> myBeanProvider = BeanProvider.getDependent(MyBean.class); |
| MyBean myBean = myBeanProvider.get(); |
| |
| // ...work with myBean... |
| |
| myBeanProvider.destroy(); |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| == BeanManagerProvider |
| |
| This mechanism provides access to the `BeanManager` by registering the |
| current `BeanManager` during the startup. This is really handy if you |
| like to access CDI functionality from places where no CDI based |
| injection is available. If a simple but manual bean-lookup is needed, |
| it is easier to use the `BeanProvider`. |
| |
| .Resolving the BeanManager |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| //in most cases the following works without problems: |
| @Inject |
| private BeanManager beanManager; |
| |
| //use |
| BeanManager beanManager = BeanManagerProvider.getInstance().getBeanManager(); |
| |
| //if CDI based injection is not available. |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| `BeanManagerProvider` uses a different approach to find the correct `BeanManager`, |
| because a portable API for it has only been available from CDI 1.1. |
| However, once you are using CDI 1.1+ DeltaSpike delegates the lookup to the CDI container |
| instead of using its own approach. |
| If you migrate from CDI 1.0 to a later version of CDI and you would like to keep |
| the lookup strategy you used before, you can deactivate the delegation to the container by adding |
| `deltaspike.bean-manager.delegate_lookup=false` to your config-source |
| (e.g. in `/META-INF/apache-deltaspike.properties`). |
| |
| |
| == AnnotationInstanceProvider |
| |
| Java EE provides a standard mechanism for obtaining annotation instances -- the `AnnotationLiteral` class. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| public class CurrentUserLiteral extends AnnotationLiteral<CurrentUser> implements CurrentUser {} |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------- |
| CurrentUser user = new CurrentUserLiteral() {}; |
| ----------------------------------------------- |
| |
| `AnnotationLiteral` can however be used only if the annotation class name is known beforehand. |
| `AnnotationInstanceProvider` is the solution for dynamic creation of annotation instances, with |
| the option to provide a map of values for annotation members. That might be useful in many situations, |
| especially for CDI extension authors. For example: |
| |
| * avoiding a compile-time dependency on an annotation class |
| + |
| [source,java] |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Class<? extends Annotation> priorityAnnotationClass = ClassUtils.tryToLoadClassForName("javax.annotation.Priority"); |
| priorityAnnotationInstance = AnnotationInstanceProvider.of(priorityAnnotationClass, mapOfMemberValues); |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * getting an instance of a dynamically obtained annotation class |
| + |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Annotation exceptionQualifier = AnnotationInstanceProvider.of(jsfModuleConfig.getExceptionQualifier()); |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| * or simply for the sake of a prettier syntax compared to `AnnotationLiteral` |
| + |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| CurrentUser principal = AnnotationInstanceProvider.of(CurrentUser.class); |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| == Type-safe ProjectStage |
| |
| The DeltaSpike <<projectstage.adoc#,ProjectStage>> mechanism allows to use configuration and implementations depending on the server environment you currently run on. |
| |
| DeltaSpike provides some pre-defined <<projectstage.adoc#_introduction,ProjectStages>> but it's also possible to create your own <<projectstage.adoc#_custom_project_stages,Custom Project Stage>>, Please, check the <<projectstage.adoc#,DeltaSpike ProjectStage>> page for more details. |
| |
| == @Exclude |
| |
| With `@Exclude` it is possible to annotate beans which should be ignored |
| by CDI even if they are in a CDI enabled archive. |
| |
| .Excluding a Bean in any Case |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------- |
| @Exclude |
| public class NoBean |
| { |
| } |
| ------------------- |
| |
| .Excluding a Bean in Case of ProjectStageDevelopment |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Exclude(ifProjectStage = ProjectStage.Development.class) |
| public class MyBean |
| { |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| .Excluding a Bean if the ProjectStage is different from Development |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Exclude(exceptIfProjectStage = ProjectStage.Development.class) |
| public class MyDevBean |
| { |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The following usage allows to exclude a bean based on a configured value |
| (see the <<configuration.adocl#_configsources_provided_by_default,supported configuration sources>>). |
| |
| .Excluding a Bean based on an Expression which Evaluates to True |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------- |
| @Exclude(onExpression = "db==prodDB") |
| public class DevDbBean |
| { |
| } |
| ------------------------------------- |
| |
| By default a simple syntax is supported ([TODO]), however, it is possible |
| to provide a custom `ExpressionInterpreter` for interpreting custom |
| expressions. |
| |
| .Excluding a Bean based on a Custom Expression |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| @Exclude(onExpression = "db eq prodDB", interpretedBy = SimpleExpressionInterpreter.class) |
| public class DevDbBean |
| { |
| } |
| |
| public class SimpleExpressionInterpreter implements ExpressionInterpreter<String, Boolean> |
| { |
| @Override |
| public Boolean evaluate(String expression) |
| { |
| if(expression.contains(" eq ")) |
| { |
| //... |
| } |
| //... |
| } |
| } |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| In several cases it is also useful to combine this feature with the `@Alternative` annotation provided by CDI. |
| |
| In addition to the following snippet, it is required to configure the |
| implementation as alternative in the beans.xml file. This configuration entry |
| will not be changed, for example for different environments, because it just gets |
| active if it is not excluded during the bootstrapping process. |
| |
| .Excluding an Alternative implementation if the ProjectStage is different from Development |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Exclude(exceptIfProjectStage = ProjectStage.Development.class) |
| @Alternative |
| public class MyDevBean |
| { |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| === Custom ExpressionInterpreter |
| |
| By default only a very simple and limited syntax is supported. In real |
| projects there are usually quite concrete requirements. Since it would |
| be very complex to support most of them, it is easier for users to |
| implement an optimized syntax. For such cases a custom |
| ExpressionInterpreter is needed: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Alternative |
| @Exclude(onExpression = "environment!=HSQL", interpretedBy = ConfigAwareExpressionInterpreter.class) |
| public class DevDbBean implements DbBean |
| { |
| } |
| |
| public class ConfigAwareExpressionInterpreter implements ExpressionInterpreter<String, Boolean> |
| { |
| public Boolean evaluate(String expression) |
| { |
| if (expression == null) |
| { |
| return false; |
| } |
| |
| String[] values = expression.split("!="); |
| |
| if (values.length != 2) |
| { |
| throw new IllegalArgumentException("'" + expression + "' is not a supported syntax"); |
| } |
| |
| String configuredValue = ConfigResolver.getPropertyValue(values[0], null); |
| |
| //exclude if null or the configured value is different |
| return configuredValue == null || !values[1].trim().equalsIgnoreCase(configuredValue); |
| } |
| } |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| == Type-safe View-Config |
| |
| TODO (Overview) |
| |
| == Literals |
| |
| Literals allow the instantiation of annotations by extending the |
| abstract class `javax.enterprise.util.AnnotationLiteral` |
| |
| .Example |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public abstract class PayByQualifier |
| extends AnnotationLiteral<PayBy> |
| implements PayBy {} |
| |
| PayBy paybyCheque = new PayByQualifier() { public PaymentMethod value() { return CHEQUE; } }; |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| DeltaSpike provides many annotation literals that you can use, including the following: |
| |
| * AlternativeLiteral |
| * AnyLiteral |
| * ApplicationScopedLiteral |
| * ConversationScopedLiteral |
| * DefaultLiteral |
| * DependentScopeLiteral |
| * ModelLiteral |
| * NamedLiteral |
| * NewLiteral |
| * RequestedScopeLiteral |
| * SessionScopeLiteral |
| * Singleton |
| * SpecializesLiteral |
| * TypedLiteral |
| |
| == Messages and i18n |
| |
| The following implementation is the minimal effort to use type-safe |
| messages (which are hardcoded in this case). |
| |
| .Simple Type-safe Message |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| @MessageBundle |
| public interface SimpleMessage |
| { |
| @MessageTemplate("Welcome to DeltaSpike") |
| String welcomeToDeltaSpike(); |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The following implementation uses the key `welcome_to_deltaspike` to do |
| a lookup in the default message bundle. The default bundle has the same |
| name as the interface (but .properties instead of .java (/.class) as |
| file extension). |
| |
| .Internationalized Type-safe Message |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @MessageBundle |
| public interface SimpleMessage |
| { |
| @MessageTemplate("{welcome_to_deltaspike}") |
| String welcomeToDeltaSpike(); |
| } |
| |
| org.apache.deltaspike.example.message.SimpleMessage |
| |
| -> |
| |
| org/apache/deltaspike/example/message/SimpleMessage.properties |
| org/apache/deltaspike/example/message/SimpleMessage_en.properties |
| org/apache/deltaspike/example/message/SimpleMessage_de.properties |
| ... |
| |
| //content (as usual in message bundle files): |
| welcome_to_deltaspike=Welcome to DeltaSpike |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The following implementation uses the key `welcome_to_deltaspike` to do |
| a lookup in a custom message bundle known by `CustomMessageResolver`. |
| |
| .Internationalized Type-safe Message |
| [source,java] |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @MessageBundle |
| @MessageContextConfig(messageResolver = CustomMessageResolver.class) |
| public interface SimpleMessage |
| { |
| @MessageTemplate("{welcome_to_deltaspike}") |
| String welcomeToDeltaSpike(); |
| } |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| `@MessageContextConfig` allows to provide a custom `MessageResolver`, |
| `MessageInterpolator` and `LocaleResolver`. |
| |
| The following implementation shows the usage of an internationalized |
| simple type-safe message. |
| |
| .Internationalized Type-safe Message with Parameter/s |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @MessageBundle |
| @MessageContextConfig(messageInterpolator = CustomMessageInterpolator.class) |
| public interface SimpleMessage |
| { |
| //in the message bundle: welcome_to=Welcome to %s |
| |
| @MessageTemplate("{welcome_to}") |
| String welcomeTo(String name); |
| } |
| |
| //... |
| public class MyBean |
| { |
| @Inject |
| private SimpleMessage messages; |
| |
| public String welcomeToDeltaSpike |
| { |
| return this.messages.welcomeTo("DeltaSpike"); |
| } |
| } |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| === Dynamic Message Builder |
| |
| ==== Creating Message Instances |
| |
| The following implementation creates an instance of `Message` for the |
| key `hello`. The final text will be resolved and interpolated lazily. |
| Later on it might be supported to provide a different `MessageContext` |
| via `#toString(MessageContext)` like it is in MyFaces CODI right now. |
| |
| You can use `#argument(String)` to pass these arguments to the message |
| template specified on `#template(String)` method. The template pattern |
| uses printf-style format strings. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public class MyBean |
| { |
| |
| @Inject |
| private MessageContext messageContext; |
| |
| public void action() |
| { |
| Message message = this.messageContext.message(); |
| write(message.template("Hello %s from %s").argument("World").argument("DeltaSpike")); |
| } |
| //... |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Besides the static configuration via `@MessageContextConfig#messageSource`, you |
| can also specify the message sources dynamically. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Inject |
| private MessageContext messageContext; |
| |
| public void action() |
| { |
| Message message = this.messageContext.messageSource("org.apache.deltaspike.example.message.Messages").message(); |
| write(message.template("{hello}").argument("World").argument("DeltaSpike")); |
| } |
| //... |
| -> |
| |
| org/apache/deltaspike/example/message/Messages.properties |
| org/apache/deltaspike/example/message/Messages_en.properties |
| org/apache/deltaspike/example/message/Messages_de.properties |
| ... |
| |
| //content (as usual) in message bundle files: |
| hello=Hello %s from %s |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| ==== Customizing the Message Context |
| |
| ===== MessageResolver |
| |
| A message-resolver is responsible for creating the message-text based on |
| the message-descriptor (key or inline-text), the current locale (and in |
| some cases the message-payload). (The supported format, for example, if it is |
| required to escape a key, if inline-text is supported,... depends on the |
| concrete implementation.) In case of a message-key, the message-resolver |
| has to transform it to the message-text by looking it up in a message |
| source like a resource-bundle. |
| |
| *Configuration of a message-resolver* |
| |
| Besides the static configuration via `@MessageContextConfig#messageResolver`, |
| you can use it dynamically via passing a custom message-resolver |
| instance to the current messageContext: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Inject |
| private MessageContext messageContext; |
| |
| //... |
| |
| Message message = this.messageContext.messageResolver(new CustomMessageResolver()).message(); |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The result of a `MessageResolver` is the message-text. The text might |
| contain placeholders which are processed by a `MessageInterpolator` |
| |
| ===== MessageInterpolator |
| |
| A `MessageInterpolator` replaces the placeholders in a message-text with |
| the arguments of the message. |
| |
| *Configuration of a message-interpolator* |
| |
| Besides the static configuration via |
| `@MessageContextConfig#messageInterpolator, you can use it dynamically |
| via passing a custom message-interpolator instance to the current |
| messageContext: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Inject |
| private MessageContext messageContext; |
| |
| //... |
| Message message = this.messageContext.messageInterpolator(new CustomMessageInterpolator()).message(); |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| ===== LocaleResolver |
| |
| A locale resolver provides the current locale. The locale is, for example, used |
| to by a `MessageResolver` to choose the correct language for the |
| message-text. |
| |
| *Configuration of a locale-resolver* |
| |
| Besides the static configuration via `@MessageContextConfig#localeResolver, you |
| can use it dynamically via passing a custom locale-resolver instance to |
| the current messageContext: |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Inject |
| private MessageContext messageContext; |
| |
| //... |
| Message message = this.messageContext.localeResolver(new CustomLocaleResolver()).message(); |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| == Injecting Resources |
| |
| DeltaSpike has simple APIs for performing basic resource loading and |
| property file reading. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| @Inject |
| @InjectableResource(location="myfile.properties") |
| private InputStream inputStream; |
| ---------------------------------------- |
| |
| This can be used to read resources from the classpath or from the file |
| system using the two default implementations -- `ClasspathResourceProvider` |
| and `FileResourceProvider` -- or from any other source using a custom provider. |
| |
| === Custom resource providers |
| |
| The `InjectableResourceProvider` interface can be implemented to allow reading from |
| alternate sources if needed (e.g. database LOBs, NoSQL storage areas). A base class called `AbstractResourceProvider` |
| is provided by DeltaSpike and contains most of the methods for potential implementations. The only method which must be |
| provided is the `readStream(InjectableResource)` which returns an InputStream. |
| |
| |
| == Exception Control |
| |
| Exception handling in DeltaSpike is based around the CDI eventing model. |
| While the implementation of exception handlers may not be the same as a |
| CDI event, and the programming model is not exactly the same as |
| specifying a CDI event observer, the concepts are very similar. |
| DeltaSpike makes use of events for many of its features. Eventing is |
| actually the only way to start using DeltaSpike's exception handling. |
| |
| This event is fired either by the application or a DeltaSpike exception |
| handling integration. DeltaSpike then hands the exception off to a chain |
| of registered handlers, which deal with the exception appropriately. The |
| use of CDI events to connect exceptions to handlers makes this strategy |
| of exception handling non-invasive and minimally coupled to the |
| exception handling infrastructure. |
| |
| The exception handling process remains mostly transparent to the |
| developer. In most cases, you register an exception handler simply by |
| annotating a handler method. Alternatively, you can handle an exception |
| programmatically, just as you would observe an event in CDI. |
| |
| === Usage |
| |
| The entire exception handling process starts with an event. This helps |
| keep your application minimally coupled to DeltaSpike, but also allows |
| for further extension. Exception handling in DeltaSpike is all about |
| letting you take care of exceptions the way that makes the most sense |
| for your application Events provide this delicate balance. Firing the |
| event is the main way of starting the exception handling proccess. |
| |
| Manually firing an event to use DeltaSpike's exception handling is |
| primarily used in your own try/catch blocks. It is very painless and also |
| easy. Let's examine a sample that might exist inside of a simple |
| business logic lookup into an inventory database: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public class InventoryActions { |
| @PersistenceContext private EntityManager em; |
| @Inject private Event<ExceptionToCatchEvent> catchEvent; |
| |
| public Integer queryForItem(Item item) { |
| try { |
| Query q = em.createQuery("SELECT i from Item i where i.id = :id"); |
| q.setParameter("id", item.getId()); |
| return q.getSingleResult(); |
| } catch (PersistenceException e) { |
| catchEvent.fire(new ExceptionToCatchEvent(e)); |
| } |
| } |
| } |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The `Event` of generic type `ExceptionToCatchEvent` is injected into |
| your class for use later within a try/catch block. |
| |
| The event is fired with a new instance of `ExceptionToCatchEvent` |
| constructed with the exception to be handled. |
| |
| === Exception Handlers |
| |
| As an application developer (i.e., an end user of DeltaSpike's exception |
| handling), you'll be focused on writing exception handlers. An exception |
| handler is a method on a CDI bean that is invoked to handle a specific |
| type of exception. Within that method, you can implement any logic |
| necessary to handle or respond to the exception. |
| |
| *If there are no exception handlers for an exception, the exception is |
| rethrown - except `ExceptionToCatchEvent#optinal` is set to true* |
| |
| Given that exception handler beans are CDI beans, they can make use of |
| dependency injection, be scoped, have interceptors or decorators and any |
| other functionality available to CDI beans. |
| |
| Exception handler methods are designed to follow the syntax and |
| semantics of CDI observers, with some special purpose exceptions |
| explained in this guide. The advantage of this design is that exception |
| handlers will be immediately familiar to you if you are studying or |
| well-versed in CDI. |
| |
| In this and subsequent sections, you'll learn how to define an exception |
| handler, explore how and when it gets invoked, modify an exception and a |
| stack trace, and even extend exception handling further through events |
| that are fired during the handling workflow. We'll begin by covering the |
| two annotations that are used to declare an exception handler, |
| `@ExceptionHandler` and `@Handles`, and `@BeforeHandles` to create a |
| callback before the handler is called. |
| |
| Exception handlers are considered equal if they both handle the same |
| exception class, have the same qualifiers, the same ordinal and the same |
| value for `isBeforeHandler()`. |
| |
| Exception handlers are contained within exception handler beans, which |
| are CDI beans annotated with `@ExceptionHandler`. Exception handlers are |
| methods which have a parameter which is an instance of |
| `ExceptionEvent<T extends Throwable>` annotated with the `@Handles` |
| annotation. |
| |
| ==== @ExceptionHandler |
| |
| The `@ExceptionHandler` annotation is simply a marker annotation that |
| instructs the DeltaSpike exception handling CDI extension to scan the |
| bean for handler methods. |
| |
| Let's designate a CDI bean as an exception handler by annotating it with |
| `@ExceptionHandler`. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| -------------------------- |
| @ExceptionHandler |
| public class MyHandlers {} |
| -------------------------- |
| |
| That's all there is to it. Now we can begin defining exception handling |
| methods on this bean. |
| |
| ==== @Handles and @BeforeHandles |
| |
| `@Handles` is a method parameter annotation that designates a method as |
| an exception handler. Exception handler methods are registered on beans |
| annotated with `@ExceptionHandler`. DeltaSpike will discover all such |
| methods at deployment time. |
| |
| Let's look at an example. The following method is invoked for every |
| exception that DeltaSpike processes and prints the exception message to |
| stdout. (`Throwable` is the base exception type in Java and thus |
| represents all exceptions). |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @ExceptionHandler |
| public class MyHandlers |
| { |
| void printExceptions(@Handles ExceptionEvent<Throwable> evt) |
| { |
| System.out.println("Something bad happened:" + |
| evt.getException().getMessage()); |
| evt.handleAndContinue(); |
| } |
| } |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| The `@Handles` annotation on the first parameter designates this method |
| as an exception handler (though it is not required to be the first |
| parameter). This parameter must be of type |
| `ExceptionEvent<T extends Throwable>`, otherwise it is detected as a |
| definition error. The type parameter designates which exception the |
| method should handle. This method is notified of all exceptions |
| (requested by the base exception type `Throwable`). |
| |
| The `ExceptionEvent` instance provides access to information about the |
| exception and can be used to control exception handling flow. In this |
| case, it is used to read the current exception being handled in the |
| exception chain, as returned by `getException()`. |
| |
| This handler does not modify the invocation of subsequent handlers, as |
| designated by invoking `handleAndContinue()` on `ExceptionEvent`. As |
| this is the default behavior, this line could be omitted. |
| |
| The `@Handles` annotation must be placed on a parameter of the method, |
| which must be of type `ExceptionEvent<T extends Throwable>`. Handler |
| methods are similar to CDI observers and, as such, follow the same |
| principles and guidelines as observers (such as invocation, injection of |
| parameters, qualifiers, etc) with the following exceptions: |
| |
| * a parameter of a handler method must be a `ExceptionEvent` |
| * handlers are ordered before they are invoked (invocation order of |
| observers is non-deterministic) |
| * any handler can prevent subsequent handlers from being invoked |
| |
| In addition to designating a method as exception handler, the `@Handles` |
| annotation specifies an `ordinal` about when the method should be |
| invoked relative to other handler methods of the same type. Handlers |
| with higher ordinal are invoked before handlers with a lower ordinal |
| that handle the same exception type. The default ordinal (if not |
| specified) is 0. |
| |
| The `@BeforeHandles` designates a method as a callback to happen before |
| handlers are called. |
| |
| Let's take a look at more sophisticated example that uses all the |
| features of handlers to log all exceptions. |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @ExceptionHandler |
| public class MyHandlers |
| { |
| void logExceptions(@BeforeHandles @WebRequest ExceptionEvent<Throwable> evt, Logger log) |
| { |
| log.warn("Something bad happened: " + evt.getException().getMessage()); |
| } |
| |
| void logExceptions(@Handles @WebRequest ExceptionEvent<Throwable> evt, Logger log) |
| { |
| // possibly send a HTTP Error code |
| } |
| } |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| This handler has a default ordinal of 0 (the default value of the |
| ordinal attribute on `@Handles`). |
| |
| This handler is qualified with `@WebRequest`. When DeltaSpike calculates |
| the handler chain, it filters handlers based on the exception type and |
| qualifiers. This handler will only be invoked for exceptions passed to |
| DeltaSpike that carry the `@WebRequest` qualifier. We'll assume this |
| qualifier distinguishes a web page request from a REST request. |
| |
| Any additional parameters of a handler method are treated as injection |
| points. These parameters are injected into the handler when it is |
| invoked by DeltaSpike. In this case, we are injecting a `Logger` bean |
| that must be defined within the application (or by an extension). |
| |
| A handler is guaranteed to only be invoked once per exception |
| (automatically muted), unless it re-enables itself by invoking the |
| `unmute()` method on the `ExceptionEvent` instance. |
| |
| Handlers must not throw checked exceptions, and should avoid throwing |
| unchecked exceptions. Should a handler throw an unchecked exception it |
| will propagate up the stack and all handling done via DeltaSpike will |
| cease. Any exception that was being handled will be lost. |
| |
| ==== Ordinal |
| |
| When DeltaSpike finds more than one handler for the same exception type, |
| it orders the handlers by ordinal. Handlers with higher ordinal are |
| executed before handlers with a lower ordinal. If DeltaSpike detects two |
| handlers for the same type with the same ordinal, the order is |
| non-deterministic. |
| |
| Let's define two handlers with different ordinals: |
| |
| [source,java] |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| void handleIOExceptionFirst(@Handles(ordinal = 100) ExceptionEvent<IOException> evt) |
| { |
| System.out.println("Invoked first"); |
| } |
| |
| void handleIOExceptionSecond(@Handles ExceptionEvent<IOException> evt) |
| { |
| System.out.println(“Invoked second”); |
| } |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| The first method is invoked first since it has a higher ordinal (100) |
| than the second method, which has the default ordinal (0). |
| |
| To summarize, here's how DeltaSpike determines the order of handlers to |
| invoke (until a handler marks exception as handled): |
| |
| 1. Unwrap exception stack |
| 2. Begin processing root cause |
| 3. Invoke any callback methods annotated with @BeforeHandles for the closest type to the exception |
| 4. Find handler for the closest type to the exception |
| 5. If multiple handlers for same type, invoke handlers with higher ordinal first |
| 6. Continue above steps for each exception in stack |
| |
| === Exception Chain Processing |
| |
| When an exception is thrown, chances are it is nested (wrapped) inside |
| other exceptions. (If you've ever examined a server log, you'll |
| appreciate this fact). The collection of exceptions in its entirety is |
| termed an exception chain. |
| |
| The outermost exception of an exception chain (e.g., EJBException, |
| ServletException, etc) is probably of little use to exception handlers. |
| That's why DeltaSpike does not simply pass the exception chain directly |
| to the exception handlers. Instead, it intelligently unwraps the chain |
| and treats the root exception cause as the primary exception. |
| |
| The first exception handlers to be invoked by DeltaSpike are those that |
| match the type of root cause. Thus, instead of seeing a vague |
| `EJBException`, your handlers will instead see an meaningful exception |
| such as `ConstraintViolationException`. _This feature, alone, makes |
| DeltaSpike's exception handling a worthwhile tool._ |
| |
| DeltaSpike continues to work through the exception chain, notifying |
| handlers of each exception in the stack, until a handler flags the |
| exception as handled or the whole exception chain has been iterated. |
| Once an exception is marked as handled, DeltaSpike stops processing the |
| exception chain. If a handler instructs DeltaSpike to rethrow the |
| exception (by invoking `ExceptionEvent#throwOriginal()`, DeltaSpike will |
| rethrow the exception outside the DeltaSpike exception handling |
| infrastructure. Otherwise, it simply returns flow control to the caller. |
| |
| Consider a exception chain containing the following nested causes (from |
| outer cause to root cause): |
| |
| * EJBException |
| * PersistenceException |
| * SQLGrammarException |
| |
| DeltaSpike will unwrap this exception and notify handlers in the |
| following order: |
| |
| * SQLGrammarException |
| * PersistenceException |
| * EJBException |
| |
| If there's a handler for `PersistenceException`, it will likely prevent |
| the handlers for `EJBException` from being invoked, which is a good |
| thing since what useful information can really be obtained from |
| `EJBException`? |
| |
| === APIs for Exception Information and Flow Control |
| |
| There are two APIs provided by DeltaSpike that should be familiar to |
| application developers: |
| |
| * `ExceptionEvent` |
| * `ExceptionStackEvent` |
| |
| ==== ExceptionEvent |
| |
| In addition to providing information about the exception being handled, |
| the `ExceptionEvent` object contains methods to control the exception |
| handling process, such as rethrowing the exception, aborting the handler |
| chain or unmuting the current handler. Five methods exist on the |
| `ExceptionEvent` object to give flow control to the handler |
| |
| * `abort()` -- terminate all handling immediately after this handler, |
| does not mark the exception as handled, does not re-throw the exception. |
| * `throwOriginal()` -- continues through all handlers, but once all |
| handlers have been called (assuming another handler does not call |
| abort() or handled()) the initial exception passed to DeltaSpike is |
| rethrown. Does not mark the exception as handled. |
| * `handled()` -- marks the exception as handled and terminates further |
| handling. |
| * `handleAndContinue()` -- default. Marks the exception as handled and |
| proceeds with the rest of the handlers. |
| * `skipCause()` -- marks the exception as handled, but proceeds to the |
| next cause in the cause container, without calling other handlers for |
| the current cause. |
| * `rethrow(Throwable)` -- Throw a new exception after this handler is |
| invoked |
| |
| Once a handler is invoked it is muted, meaning it will not be run again |
| for that exception chain, unless it is explicitly marked as unmuted via |
| the `unmute()` method on `ExceptionEvent`. |
| |
| == Scopes |
| |
| DeltaSpike Core provides the API and SPI for several scopes. Currently |
| all scopes are only implemented in the <<jsf.adoc#_scopes,JSF module>>. |
| |
| === @WindowScoped |
| |
| === @ViewAccessScoped |
| |
| === @GroupedConversationScoped |
| |
| === Creating a Custom CDI Scope |
| |
| To create a custom CDI scope to match your needs, complete the following steps: |
| |
| 1. Create an Annotation with annotated with @javax.inject.Scope; |
| + |
| .Example |
| [source,java] |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| @Scope |
| @Retention(RetentionPolicy.RUNTIME) |
| @Target({ElementType.TYPE,ElementType.METHOD,ElementType.FIELD}) |
| public @interface ACustomScope {} |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| + |
| 2. Create an Extension to add the scope and a context for it. |
| + |
| .Example |
| [source,java] |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public class ACustomScopeExtension implements Extension, Serializable { |
| |
| public void addACustomScope(@Observes final BeforeBeanDiscovery event) { |
| event.addScope(ACustomScope.class, true, false); |
| } |
| |
| public void registerACustomScopeContext(@Observes final AfterBeanDiscovery event) { |
| event.addContext(new ACustomScopeContext()); |
| } |
| } |
| --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| + |
| 3. Implement a javax.enterprise.context.spi.Context interface to hold the |
| javax.enterprise.inject.spi.Bean instances according to your needs. |
| + |
| .Example |
| [source,java] |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public class ACustomScopeContext implements Context, Serializable { |
| |
| // Get the scope type of the context object. |
| public Class<? extends Annotation> getScope() { |
| return ACustomScope.class; |
| } |
| |
| // Return an existing instance of certain contextual type or create a new instance by calling |
| // javax.enterprise.context.spi.Contextual.create(CreationalContext) and return the new instance. |
| public <T> T get(Contextual<T> contextual, CreationalContext<T> creationalContext) { |
| Bean bean = (Bean) contextual; |
| // you can store the bean somewhere |
| if (somewhere.containsKey(bean.getName())) { |
| return (T) somewhere.get(bean.getName()); |
| } else { |
| T t = (T) bean.create(creationalContext); |
| somewhere.put(bean.getName(), t); |
| return t; |
| } |
| } |
| |
| // Return an existing instance of a certain contextual type or a null value. |
| public <T> T get(Contextual<T> contextual) { |
| Bean bean = (Bean) contextual; |
| // you can store the bean somewhere |
| if (somewhere.containsKey(bean.getName())) { |
| return (T) somewhere.get(bean.getName()); |
| } else { |
| return null; |
| } |
| } |
| |
| // Determines if the context object is active. |
| public boolean isActive() { |
| return true; |
| } |
| |
| } |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| == Deactivatable |
| |
| DeltaSpike allows you to deactivate its own pre-configured parts (like Extensions, event-broadcasters,...). |
| Therefore DeltaSpike offers `org.apache.deltaspike.core.spi.activation.ClassDeactivator` and |
| `org.apache.deltaspike.core.spi.activation.Deactivatable`. |
| |
| A `ClassDeactivator` allows to specify deactivated classes (if they implement `Deactivatable`) |
| which can't be deactivated/customized via std. CDI mechanisms |
| (like the veto-method or alternative/specialized CDI-beans). |
| This might be the case e.g. for CDI Extensions because CDI mechanisms are not available at startup time. |
| |
| Use it mainly to deactivate specific parts *explicitly* (blacklist approach), |
| if there is an issue with such parts (and waiting for the next release isn't an option). |
| |
| You just need to implement your <<spi.adoc#_classdeactivator,ClassDeactivator>>. |
| |
| The `ClassDeactivator` should be resolved by any ConfigSource using the |
| key `org.apache.deltaspike.core.spi.activation.ClassDeactivator`. For |
| example, if we need to provide our own version of the SecurityExtension, |
| we can disable the SecurityExtension provided by DeltaSpike with the following `ClassDeactivator`: |
| |
| .Disable a specific extension |
| [source,java] |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public class CustomClassDeactivator implements ClassDeactivator |
| { |
| private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; |
| |
| @Override |
| public Boolean isActivated(Class<? extends Deactivatable> targetClass) |
| { |
| if (targetClass.equals(SecurityExtension.class)) |
| { |
| return Boolean.FALSE; |
| } |
| return null; //no result for the given class |
| } |
| } |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Now, we can use the file `/META-INF/apache-deltaspike.properties` (or any |
| other <<configuration.adoc#_configsources_provided_by_default,ConfigSource>>) with the following key/value: |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| org.apache.deltaspike.core.spi.activation.ClassDeactivator=org.test.CustomClassDeactivator |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| SecurityExtension still gets started, because it isn't possible to veto it, however, it isn't processing beans (once deactivated) |
| and therefore it's e.g. possible to extend and customize the default implementation provided by DeltaSpike. |
| |
| The following listing shows how to enable only a minimal set of extensions. |
| Technically that's possible, however, it isn't suggested to use such an approach, |
| because you might disable mechanisms need later on (in your project). |
| |
| .Possible but not suggested |
| [source,java] |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| public class WhitelistFilter implements ClassDeactivator |
| { |
| private List<Class<?>> limitedExtensions = |
| new ArrayList<Class<?>>() |
| {{ |
| add(ConfigurationExtension.class); |
| add(PartialBeanBindingExtension.class); |
| add(RepositoryExtension.class); |
| }}; |
| |
| @Override |
| public Boolean isActivated( |
| Class<? extends Deactivatable> deactivatableClass) |
| { |
| return !Extension.class.isAssignableFrom(deactivatableClass) || |
| limitedExtensions.contains(deactivatableClass); |
| } |
| } |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| |
| Instead it's better to disable the part you really like to deactivate (see `CustomClassDeactivator`). |
| |
| === Deactivate Deactivatable-Classes via Config |
| |
| The default implementation of `ClassDeactivator` allows to deactivate classes by adding config-entries to one of your config-sources (like `META-INF\apache-deltaspike.properties`). |
| The following example shows how it would look like e.g. in case of the SecurityExtension: |
| |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| deactivate.org.apache.deltaspike.security.impl.extension.SecurityExtension=true |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| |
| == Asynchronous Operations |
| |
| DeltaSpike provides support for executing code in an asynchronous manner. The behavior is implemented as three different interceptors for your beans. |
| |
| - `@Futureable` - Designed for bean methods that return `Future's` of some form. The method call will automatically be submitted to an `ExecutorService` |
| - `@Locked` - Ability to prevent concurrent access to a method based on its usage of reads/writes. |
| - `@Throttled` - Ability to limit how frequently a method can be invoked. |
| |
| == @Futureable configuration |
| |
| The strategy to find the `ExecutorService` associated to the `@Futureable` name is the following one: |
| |
| 1. Check if there is a CDI bean of type `ExecutorService` with the name of the pool, if not try 2 |
| 2. Check if there is a JNDI entry matching the pool name directly or prefixed with `java:app/`, `java:global/`, `java:global/threads/`, `java:global/deltaspike/`, `java:`, if not try 3 |
| 3. Read the configuration and create a `ThreadPoolExecutor` |
| |
| IMPORTANT: the instance is looked up only once so from the first time it was read you can't change any configuration anymore. |
| |
| If you rely on the last option (configured executor) here are the keys you can set in DeltaSpike configuration: |
| |
| |=== |
| | Key | Description | Default |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.coreSize | The core size of the pool. | Number of available processors |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.maxSize | The max size of the pool. | coreSize value |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.keepAlive.value | Pool keep alive (when a thread is released). | 0 |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.keepAlive.unit | Unit of keepAlive.value. It must match a `TIMEUNIT` name. | MILLISECONDS |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.queue.type | The task queue type of the executor. Can be `ARRAY` to use an `ArrayBlockingQueue`, `LINKED` for a `LinkedBlockingQueue` or `SYNCHRONOUS` for a `SynchronousQueue`. | LINKED |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.queue.fair | For synchronous and array queue types, if the queue is fair. | false |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.queue.size | For array queue type, the size of the queue. | 1024 |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.queue.capacity | For linked queue type, the capacity of the queue. | `Integer.MAX_VALUE` |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.threadFactory.name | If set a CDI bean matching the value will be looked up and used as `ThreadFactory`. | none, `Executors.defaultThreadFactory()` is used |
| | futureable.pool.<pool name>.rejectedExecutionHandler.name | If set a CDI bean matching the value will be looked up and used as `RejectedExecutionHandler`. | none, `ThreadPoolExecutor.AbortPolicy` is used |
| |=== |
| |
| == Utilities |
| |
| DeltaSpike provides many utility classes (no constructor / static |
| methods) that can be useful for your project. |
| |
| Below you can find an information about these classes. |
| |
| === AnnotationUtils |
| |
| Utilities for working with annotations on methods and classes. |
| |
| * `#findAnnotation` -- obtains an `Annotation` instance of a given annotation `Class` from the given `Annotation[]`, recursing any possible stereotype tree along the way |
| * `#extractAnnotationFromMethod` -- uses `findAnnotation` to obtain an `Annotation` from a given `Method` |
| * `#extractAnnotationFromMethodOrClass` -- uses `findAnnotation` to obtain an `Annotation` on either the given `Method` or the given `Class`, in that order |
| * `#getQualifierHashCode` -- computes the hashCode of a qualifier annotation, taking into account only the "binding" members (not annotated `@Nonbinding`) |
| |
| === ArraysUtils |
| |
| |
| A collection of utilities for working with Arrays |
| |
| * `#asSet` -- Create a set from an array. If the array contains duplicate |

| |
| === ExceptionUtils |
| |
| Helper methods to deal with Exceptions |
| |
