<h1>Using EnvEntries</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<p>The <code>@Resource</code> annotation can be used to inject several things including DataSources, Topics, Queues, etc. Most of these are container supplied objects.</p>
<p>It is possible, however, to supply your own values to be injected via an <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> in your <code>ejb-jar.xml</code> or <code>web.xml</code> deployment descriptor. Java EE 6 supported <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> types are limited to the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>java.lang.String</li>
<li>java.lang.Integer</li>
<li>java.lang.Short</li>
<li>java.lang.Float</li>
<li>java.lang.Double</li>
<li>java.lang.Byte</li>
<li>java.lang.Character</li>
<li>java.lang.Boolean</li>
<li>java.lang.Class</li>
<li>java.lang.Enum (any enum)</li>
</ul>
<p>See also the <a href="../custom-injection">Custom Injection</a> exmaple for a TomEE and OpenEJB feature that will let you use more than just the above types as well as declare <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> items with a plain properties file.</p>
<h1>Using @Resource for basic properties</h1>
<p>The use of the <code>@Resource</code> annotation isn't limited to setters. For example, this annotation could have been used on the corresponding <em>field</em> like so:</p>
<pre><code>@Resource
private int maxLineItems;
</code></pre>
<p>A fuller example might look like this:</p>
<pre><code>package org.superbiz.injection.enventry;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.ejb.Singleton;
import java.util.Date;
@Singleton
public class Configuration {
@Resource
private String color;
@Resource
private Shape shape;
@Resource
private Class strategy;
@Resource(name = &quot;date&quot;)
private long date;
public String getColor() {
return color;
}
public Shape getShape() {
return shape;
}
public Class getStrategy() {
return strategy;
}
public Date getDate() {
return new Date(date);
}
}
</code></pre>
<p>Here we have an <code>@Singleton</code> bean called <code>Confuration</code> that has the following properties (<code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> items)</p>
<ul>
<li>String color</li>
<li>Shape shape</li>
<li>Class strategy</li>
<li>long date</li>
</ul>
<h2>Supplying @Resource values for <env-entry> items in ejb-jar.xml</h2>
<p>The values for our <code>color</code>, <code>shape</code>, <code>strategy</code> and <code>date</code> properties are supplied via <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> elements in the <code>ejb-jar.xml</code> file or the<br/><code>web.xml</code> file like so:</p>
<pre><code>&lt;ejb-jar xmlns=&quot;http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee&quot; version=&quot;3.0&quot; metadata-complete=&quot;false&quot;&gt;
&lt;enterprise-beans&gt;
&lt;session&gt;
&lt;ejb-name&gt;Configuration&lt;/ejb-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Configuration/color&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;java.lang.String&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;orange&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Configuration/shape&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Shape&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;TRIANGLE&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Configuration/strategy&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;java.lang.Class&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Widget&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;description&gt;The name was explicitly set in the annotation so the classname prefix isn&#39;t required&lt;/description&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;date&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;java.lang.Long&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;123456789&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
&lt;/session&gt;
&lt;/enterprise-beans&gt;
&lt;/ejb-jar&gt;
</code></pre>
<h3>Using the @Resource 'name' attribute</h3>
<p>Note that <code>date</code> was referenced by <code>name</code> as:</p>
<pre><code>@Resource(name = &quot;date&quot;)
private long date;
</code></pre>
<p>When the <code>@Resource(name)</code> is used, you do not need to specify the full class name of the bean and can do it briefly like so:</p>
<pre><code> &lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;description&gt;The name was explicitly set in the annotation so the classname prefix isn&#39;t required&lt;/description&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;date&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;java.lang.Long&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;123456789&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Conversly, <code>color</code> was not referenced by <code>name</code></p>
<pre><code>@Resource
private String color;
</code></pre>
<p>When something is not referenced by <code>name</code> in the <code>@Resource</code> annotation a default name is created. The format is essentially this:</p>
<pre><code>bean.getClass() + &quot;/&quot; + field.getName()
</code></pre>
<p>So the default <code>name</code> of the above <code>color</code> property ends up being <code>org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Configuration/color</code>. This is the name we must use when we attempt to decalre a value for it in xml.</p>
<pre><code> &lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Configuration/color&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;java.lang.String&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;orange&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
</code></pre>
<h3>@Resource and Enum (Enumerations)</h3>
<p>The <code>shape</code> field is actually a custom Java Enum type</p>
<pre><code>package org.superbiz.injection.enventry;
public enum Shape {
CIRCLE,
TRIANGLE,
SQUARE
}
</code></pre>
<p>As of Java EE 6, java.lang.Enum types are allowed as <code>&lt;env-entry&gt;</code> items. Declaring one in xml is done using the actual enum's class name like so:</p>
<pre><code> &lt;env-entry&gt;
&lt;env-entry-name&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Configuration/shape&lt;/env-entry-name&gt;
&lt;env-entry-type&gt;org.superbiz.injection.enventry.Shape&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;
&lt;env-entry-value&gt;TRIANGLE&lt;/env-entry-value&gt;
&lt;/env-entry&gt;
</code></pre>
<p>Do not use <code>&lt;env-entry-type&gt;java.lang.Enum&lt;/env-entry-type&gt;</code> or it will not work!</p>
<h2>ConfigurationTest</h2>
<pre><code>package org.superbiz.injection.enventry;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import javax.ejb.embeddable.EJBContainer;
import javax.naming.Context;
import java.util.Date;
public class ConfigurationTest extends TestCase {
public void test() throws Exception {
final Context context = EJBContainer.createEJBContainer().getContext();
final Configuration configuration = (Configuration) context.lookup(&quot;java:global/injection-of-env-entry/Configuration&quot;);
assertEquals(&quot;orange&quot;, configuration.getColor());
assertEquals(Shape.TRIANGLE, configuration.getShape());
assertEquals(Widget.class, configuration.getStrategy());
assertEquals(new Date(123456789), configuration.getDate());
}
}
</code></pre>
