Ok so I have had some playing around..

I now have configured the checkbox to

<sf:checkboxes path ="menuSections[${menuStatus.index}].products" items="${menuSection.products}" itemValue="id" itemLabel="name" />

This works however why are are all the check boxes pre-ticked?

Hi, Im really stuck and was hoping someone could help me I am trying to bind a List to the checkboxes tag, but im getting the following error.

Attribute 'items' must be an array, a Collection or a Map

Here is my Pojo .

public class MenuSection { private List<Product> products = new ArrayList<Product>();

Here is my controller

@RequestMapping(value = "/display_menu", method = RequestMethod.POST) @ResponseBody public ModelAndView showMenu(Site site, BindingResult bindingResult, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException { SiteMenu siteMenu = siteMenuService.getBySiteName(site); return new ModelAndView("siteMenuView", "siteMenu", siteMenu); } }

Here is my JSP

<sf:form id="bookingInquiry" action="checkout" modelAttribute="siteMenu" method="POST" htmlEscape="true"> <fieldset> Menu Sections <p> <c:forEach var="menuSection" varStatus="menuStatus" items="${siteMenu.menuSections}" > <p> <c:out value="${menuSection.name}"></c:out><br> <c:out value="${menuSection.id}"></c:out> <div class="checkbox-list"> <sf:hidden path="menuSections[${menuStatus.index}].name" /> <p> <ul> <sf:checkboxes path ="menuSections[${menuStatus.index}].products" items="menuSections[${menuStatus.index}].products" /> </ul> </div> </c:forEach> <p> <div class="submit"> <input value="next" class="submit-btne" type="submit"> </div> </fieldset> </sf:form>

As you can see the products in menusection is a ArrayList so what else am I missing? Have I got my checkboxes binding path and items wrong?

Really appreciate some help on this :-)

Hi All,

After working on middleware for a while I started to get back into spring mvc.

I have simple domain model
1) A site which has a SiteMenu.
1) SiteMenu conrtains a list of MenuSections
2) MenuSections contains a List of products

My controller returns the SiteMenu to the view based on a previous selected Site.
My view then displays the SiteSections and the associated products.

Here is my view

<sf:form id="bookingInquiry" action="checkout" modelAttribute="siteMenu" method="POST" htmlEscape="true"> <fieldset> Menu Sections <p> <c:forEach var="menuSection" varStatus="status" items="${siteMenu.menuSections}" > <p> <c:out value="${menuSection.name}"></c:out> <div class="checkbox-list"> <c:forEach var="product" varStatus="status" items="${menuSection.products}"> <input type="checkbox" name="menuSections[${status.index}].products" value="${product.name}"> <c:out value="${product.description}" /><br> </c:forEach> <p> </div> </c:forEach> <p> <div class="submit"> <input value="next" class="submit-btne" type="submit"> </div> </fieldset> </sf:form>


My controller

@RequestMapping(value = "/checkout", method = RequestMethod.POST) public ModelAndView check(SiteMenu siteMenu, BindingResult bindingResult, HttpServletResponse response)

However when I submit the form, selecting two products from one MenuSection, my controller shows the binding is incorrect in object SiteMenu.

For example in SiteMenu I get a list of MenuSections that has two values values. I would expect MenuSections to have a list of one value with two products.

Can any spot what I am doing wrong please.?

Hi Everyone,

I really hope someone could help as I been struggling with an issue with hibernate and a spring mvc app. I must be doing something silly and was hoping someone could help.

I have the following relationships


1) SiteMenu has many MenuSection
2) SiteMenu has one Site
2) MenuSection has Many Products


I simply trying to retrieve a SiteMenu object which contains all the MenuSecions and associated Products. However when I add the products to my hibernate mapping (MenuSection.hbm), I receive duplicate MenuSection objects in my query. Removing the products association returns the correct number of MenuSections.

Here are the Hibernate Mappings

<hibernate-mapping> <class name="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.SiteMenu" table="site_menu" catalog="test_db"> <id name="id" type="int" column="id"> <generator class="identity" /> </id> <many-to-one name="site" class="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.Site" fetch="select"> <column name="site_id" not-null="true" /> </many-to-one> <property name="name" type="string"> <column name="name" length="45" not-null="true" /> </property> <property name="description" type="string"> <column name="description" length="45" not-null="true" /> </property> <bag name="menuSections" inverse="true" cascade="all" fetch="join"> <key column ="site_menu_id" /> <one-to-many class="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.MenuSection" /> </bag> </class> </hibernate-mapping> <hibernate-mapping> <class name="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.MenuSection" table="menu_section" catalog="test_db"> <id name="id" type="int" column="id"> <generator class="assigned" /> </id> <many-to-one name="siteMenu" class="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.SiteMenu" fetch="select"> <column name="site_menu_id" not-null="true" /> </many-to-one> <property name="name" type="string"> <column name="name" length="45" not-null="true" /> </property> <property name="description" type="string"> <column name="description" length="45" not-null="true" /> </property> <list name="products" inverse="true" cascade="all" fetch="join" outer-join="false" > <key column ="menu_section_id" /> <list-index column="product_position"/> <one-to-many class="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.Product" /> </list> </class> </hibernate-mapping> <hibernate-mapping> <class name="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.Product" table="product" catalog="test_db"> <id name="id" type="int" column="id"> <generator class="assigned" /> </id> <many-to-one name="menuSection" class="uk.co.mycompany.persistence.model.MenuSection" fetch="join"> <column name="menu_section_id"/> </many-to-one> <property name="name" type="string"> <column name="name" length="45" not-null="true" /> </property> <property name="description" type="string"> <column name="description" length="45" not-null="true" /> </property> <property name="size" type="string"> <column name="size" length="1" not-null="true" /> </property> <property name="price" type="byte"> <column name="price" precision="2" scale="0" not-null="true" /> </property> </class> </hibernate-mapping>

Here is my Criteria query

return (SiteMenu) currentSession() .createCriteria(SiteMenu.class) .setResultTransformer(Criteria.DISTINCT_ROOT_ENTITY) .createAlias("site", "site") .add(Restrictions.eq("site.name", site.getName())) .uniqueResult();

Why is it if I introduce products it duplicates the records returned? Can some please help as I am not sure what to do?

Best Regards

Hi Everyone,

I have a XML docment in which I need to unmarshall into a java object using jaxb. I am a little unclear of how I should map the xml annotations in my pojo and was hoping someone could advise?

my XML document is

<?xml version="1.0"?> <methodResponse> <params> <param> <value> <struct> <member> <name>card_name</name> <value> <string>Test</string> </value> </member> <member> <name>max_award</name> <value> <int>10000</int> </value> </member> <member> <name>card_balance</name> <value> <int>30</int> </value> </member> <member> <name>error_code</name> <value> <int>0</int> </value> </member> <member> <name>error_description</name> <value> <string>success</string> </value> </member> </struct> </value> </param> </params> </methodResponse>

Pojo
@XmlRootElement public class Card { private String cardName; private String schemeMaxAward; private String cardBalance; private String errorCode; private String errorDescription; public String getCardName() { return cardName; } public String getSchemeMaxAward() { return schemeMaxAward; } public String getCardBalance() { return cardBalance; } public String getErrorCode() { return errorCode; } public String getErrorDescription() { return errorDescription; } public void setCardName(String cardName) { this.cardName = cardName; } public void setSchemeMaxAward(String schemeMaxAward) { this.schemeMaxAward = schemeMaxAward; } public void setCardBalance(String cardBalance) { this.cardBalance = cardBalance; } public void setErrorCode(String errorCode) { this.errorCode = errorCode; } public void setErrorDescription(String errorDescription) { this.errorDescription = errorDescription; }


Can any one tell me how I would map this using annotations? so for example card_name should be mapped to cardName.

Thanks
D.

Hi All,

I have a new requirement where I need to connect to a third party XML PRC interface.

I have not done this in spring before and was hoping if someone could point me in the right direction of what I should be using.

The Api endpoint takes this example request:

Function: api.tcrc_checkCard

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>api.tcrc_checkCard</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><string>yourUsername</string></value></param>
<param><value><string>yourPassword</string></value></param>
<param><value><string>90070299999999</string></value></param>
</params>
</methodCall>

And sends a response such as

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param><value>
<struct>
<member><name>card_name</name><value><string>Test</string></value></member>
<member><name>scheme_max_award</name><value><int>10000</int></value></member>
<member><name>card_balance</name><value><int>0</int></value></member>
<member><name>error_code</name><value><int>0</int></value></member>
<member><name>error_description</name><value><string>success</string></value></member>
</struct></value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

Ive been reading about the Springs Httpinvoker but Im a little confused on how this would be configured? Am I on the right path with this?

Thanks

Hi,

The version of hibernate is 3.6.10.

To provide further information on this issue. The out of memory was due to hibernate returning hundreds of thousands of rows for my sky subscription list. I checked this by doing a lazy load on my List and checking the list size.

In the H2 database I have only one user account, with only one associated sky subscription.

I changed the sky table to include an auto increment id (which is now pk) and have a unique key of sky_viewing_card_id.

Findings

When my "one to many" mapping in user_account looks like this, it returns hundreds of thousands of skysubscriptions:

<list name="skySubscriptions" inverse="true" cascade="all" fetch="join" > <key column="id"/> <list-index column="sky_viewing_card_id"/> <one-to-many class="uk.co.company.persistence.model.SkySubscription"/> </list>

However, when I change the list-index column to active, it returns the one association -Great!.
<list name="skySubscriptions" inverse="true" cascade="all" fetch="join" > <key column="id"/> <list-index column="active"/> <one-to-many class="uk.co.company.persistence.model.SkySubscription"/> </list>
So what I want to understand is
1) why does hibernate do this when it indexs my unique key? <list-index column="sky_viewing_card_id"/>
2) when I change to <list-index column="active"/>, it returns a list count of 2 entries - One is my skysubscription and the other is null.. what does it return a null record?

Thanks for the help, and im wondering if using HQL would be a better option?

Hi Eveyone,

really need some help with this.

I am receiving the memory error while trying to retrieve a record from the database in my spring rest api. The object am retrieving has a one to many relationship.

I am running this as an integration test via spring test. Ive checked my eclipse.ini and have plenty or perm gem space i.e -XX:MaxPermSize=2048m

Can anyone help?

Hi Dieter,

Thank you for the advise and yes merge works. I now underatand that the mege will update the managed object from the unmanged object.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a problem with hibernate, and im not understanding what is wrong.

I get the following error

a different object with the same identifier value was already associated with the session: [uk.co.company.persistence.model.SocialAccount#_darren_4muWZg==]

So from what I understand hibernate is complaining because I am trying to save a different object of the same id, which has already been saved?..

My XML Mappings – One to Many

<hibernate-mapping> <class name="uk.co.company.persistence.model.UserAccount" table="user_account" catalog=”dev" > <id name="id" type="java.lang.Integer"> <column name="id" /> <generator class="identity" /> </id> <set name="socialAccounts" inverse="true" cascade="save-update" fetch="join"> <key> <column name="user_account_id" /> </key> <one-to-many class="uk.co.company.persistence.model.SocialAccount" /> </set> </class> </hibernate-mapping>
<hibernate-mapping> <class name="uk.co.company.company.model.SocialAccount" table="social_account" catalog=”dev"> <id name="gigyaUid" type="string"> <column name="gigya_uid" length="100" /> <generator class="assigned" /> </id> <many-to-one name="userAccount" class="uk.co.company.model.UserAccount" fetch="select" > <column name="user_account_id" /> </many-to-one> <property name="gigyaProvider" type="string"> <column name="gigya_provider" length="45" /> </property> <property name="lastLogin" type="timestamp"> <column name="last_login" length="19" /> </property> </class> </hibernate-mapping>

My DAO
@Override public UserAccount updateUserAccountWithSocial(UserAccount userAccount) { // Find the user account by email address List<UserAccount> userAccountList = findUserByEmailAddress(userAccount.getEmailAddress()); UserAccount userAccountToUpdate = userAccountList.get(0); // Get the social account from the incoming user account SocialAccount socialAccountToUpdate = userAccount.getSocialAccount(); // Set the user Account to the incoming social account. // This is because the social account passed to this dao is not complete socialAccountToUpdate.setUserAccount(userAccountToUpdate); // Add the incoming social account to the user account set userAccountToUpdate.getSocialAccounts().add(socialAccountToUpdate); currentSession().saveOrUpdate(userAccountToUpdate); return userAccountToUpdate; }


So what I don’t understand is why hibernate thinks I have already saved the SocialAccount with that id already?

Can someone please help?

Hi,

I was hoping someone could help.

I have developed a secure rest API in spring that receives json, and then uses JSR303 bean validation using @RequestBody @Validated etc.. This all works fine.

However it has now been decided that the whole json string to be sent to my REST API, needs to be encrypted in AES.

So within a custom spring security filter I have pulled the encrypted string from the request, decrypted it to Json, do authentication etc...

I basically now need to put the json into the request, so that my controllers @RequestBody Annotations can continue to do their magic.

How do I put the JSON into the request within my filter? Also is there is a better approach and how does everyone encrypt their json? Was wondering if its easier to encrypt each filed with field?

Snippet of Filter

public void doFilter(ServletRequest req, ServletResponse resp, FilterChain chain) throws IOException, ServletException { HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) req; HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) resp; //Pull out the Authorization header String authorization = request.getHeader("Authorization"); //If the Authorization header is null, let the ExceptionTranslationFilter provided by //the <http> namespace kick of the RestAuthenticationEntryPoint to send Unauthorised if (authorization == null) { chain.doFilter(request, response); return; } String incomingJson = decodeHeader(authorization); // incomingJson needs to go into the request, so that @RequestBody will continue to work String[] credentials = getCredentials(incomingJson);

Regards
D.

Hi everyone,

I hope someone could help me.

Im developing a security module where I would like to apply authentication mechanisms to separate REST urls.

My issue is that my custom filter is applied to all URLs that I enter. I thought that if I changed the intercept URL pattern then the filter would not need to be applied? can anyone help me understand this?

Here’s my Config

<context:component-scan base-package="uk.co.mycompany.security" /> <context:component-scan base-package="uk.co.mycompany.security.crypto" /> <http create-session="stateless" use-expressions="true" entry-point-ref="restAuthenticationEntryPoint" authentication-manager-ref="authenticationManager"> <intercept-url pattern="/database/register/user**" access="ROLE_USER"/> <custom-filter ref="customRestFilter" position="BASIC_AUTH_FILTER" /> <form-login authentication-success-handler-ref="mySuccessHandler" /> <logout /> </http> <beans:bean id="customRestFilter" class="uk.co.mycompany.security.CustomRestSecurityFilter"> <beans:constructor-arg name="authenticationManager" ref="authenticationManager" /> <beans:constructor-arg name="encrypter" ref="aesCrypter" /> </beans:bean> <beans:bean id="mySuccessHandler" class="uk.co.mycompany.security.SavedRequestAwareAuthenticationSuccessHandler"/> <authentication-manager alias="authenticationManager"> <authentication-provider ref="restAuthenticationProvider" /> </authentication-manager> <beans:bean id="restAuthenticationProvider" class="uk.co.mycompany.security.RestAuthenticationProvider" /> <beans:bean id="aesCrypter" class="uk.co.mycompany.security.crypto.AesCrypter" /> </beans:beans>

So if I access /database/register/user - The customRestFilter is applied

but if I access /database/login - The customRestFilter is also applied - I thought this would not be the case???

Can anyone help me understand this please??

Hi Everyone,

With Thanks to Rossen Stoyanchev I have this working.

In short the problem is to do with standloneSetup with does not load spring configuration.

One option is to create a LocalValidatorFactoryBean configured with a SpringConstraintValidatorFactory and plug it into the standaloneSetup builder.

However I decided to migrate from spring-test-mvc to spring-test in 3.2.

All that was required was to annotate my test class with @WebAppConfiguration, load in my spring configuration files with @ContextConfiguration and then @Autowired WebApplicationContext

Example

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @WebAppConfiguration @ContextConfiguration(value ={ "file:src/main/webapp/WEB-INF/spring/appServlet/servlet-context.xml", "classpath:/META-INF/config/service-context.xml ", "classpath:/META-INF/config/persistence-context.xml", "classpath:/META-INF/config/dataSource-context.xml" }) public class BookingControllerAvailabilityTestRefactor { @Autowired private BookingController bookingController; private String arrivalDate; private String departureDate; private static String dateFormat = "dd/MM/yyyy"; @Autowired private WebApplicationContext wac; private MockMvc mvc; @Before public void setup() { arrivalDate= DateTime.now().plusDays(1).toString(dateFormat); departureDate= DateTime.now().plusDays(5).toString(dateFormat); this.mvc = webAppContextSetup(this.wac).build(); } @Test public void testPostBookingDetails() throws Exception { this.mvc.perform(post("/booking_details") .param("arrivalDate", this.arrivalDate) .param("departureDate", this.departureDate) .param("accomendationType", "Suite") .param("numberOfAdults", "2") .param("numberOfChildren", "2")) .andDo(print()) .andExpect(status().isOk()); } }


I can now @Autowire services in my custom jsr annotation validator.

Hope this helps others

Hi Eveyone,

I have posted this in the Spring forums but have not had a reply. Can anyone help with this please..?

I have an issue with autowiring inside a custom constraint validator when running an integration test using spring-test-mvc. The service I require is null.

However when I run the web app, its is auotwired correctly.

Custom Constraint Validator (Booking Service is null!)

public class CheckAvailabilityValidator implements ConstraintValidator<CheckAvailability, Booking> { private DateTimeFormatter formatter; private int maxNumberOfBookings = 2; @Autowired private BookingService bookingService; public void initialize(CheckAvailability constraintAnnotation) { formatter = DateTimeFormat.forPattern("dd/MM/yyyy"); } public boolean isValid(Booking booking, ConstraintValidatorContext constraintContext) { if (booking.getArrivalDate() == null || booking.getDepartureDate() == null) { return false; } DateTime arrivalDate = formatter.parseDateTime(booking.getArrivalDate()); DateTime departureDate = formatter.parseDateTime(booking.getDepartureDate()); if (bookingService.findBookingsByDateRange(arrivalDate,departureDate).size() > maxNumberOfBookings) { return false; } else { return true; } } }

Annotation
@Target({ TYPE, ANNOTATION_TYPE }) @Retention(RUNTIME) @Constraint(validatedBy = CheckAvailabilityValidator.class) @Documented public @interface CheckAvailability { String message() default "{we.do.not.have.availability}"; Class<?>[] groups() default {}; Class<? extends Payload>[] payload() default {}; }

Service
@Service public class BookingService implements IBookingService{ @Autowired private BookingDao bookingDao; private static Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(BookingService.class); @Override public List<Booking> findBookingsByDateRange(DateTime from, DateTime to) { return bookingDao.findBookingsByDateRange(from, to); } }

Unit Test

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class) @ContextConfiguration(classes = {BookingControllerConfig.class}) public class BookingControllerTest { @Autowired private BookingController bookingController; private List<Booking> bookingList = new ArrayList<Booking>(); ..... @Test public void testPostBookingDetails() throws Exception { standaloneSetup(bookingController).build().perform(post("/booking_details") .param("arrivalDate", "01/01/2013") .param("departureDate", "09/01/2013") .param("accomendationType", "Suite") .param("numberOfAdults", "2") .param("numberOfChildren", "2")) .andDo(print()) .andExpect(status().isOk()); } ... }

Config

@Configuration public class BookingControllerConfig { @Bean public BookingController bookingController() { return new BookingController(); } @Bean public BookingService bookingService() { return Mockito.mock(BookingService.class); } ..... }

Controller
@Controller public class BookingController { ... @RequestMapping(value = "/booking_details", method = RequestMethod.POST) public ModelAndView showBookingDetails(@Validated Booking booking, BindingResult bindingResult, ContactDetails contactDetails, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException { ... } ... }
