Przekazywanie tablicy rekordów z Javy do procedury składowanej w Oracle’u

Poniżej znajduje się opis jak przekazywać string, tablicę stringów oraz tablicę par stringów z Javy do Oracle’a Należy utworzyć typy w bazie danych:

create or replace type VARCHAR2_PAIR as object( k varchar2(200), v varchar2(200));
create or replace type VARCHAR2_PAIRS_TABLE as table of VARCHAR2_PAIR;
create or replace type VARCHAR2_TABLE as table of VARCHAR2(200);

. Potem utworzyć procedurę składowaną

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE arrays_from_java(p_scalar varchar2
, p_array IN VARCHAR2_TABLE
, p_pairs_array in VARCHAR2_PAIRS_TABLE);

. A na końcu zawołać ją z Javy:

public static void callArrayProcedure() throws Exception{
    System.out.println("Preparing data");
    String[] list1=new String[2];
    list1[0] = "first string";
    list1[1] = "second string";

    String[][] list2=new String[2][];
    {
        String[] pair1 = new String[2];
        pair1[0] = "key1";
        pair1[1] = "value1";
        list2[0] = pair1;
    }
    {
        String[] pair2 = new String[2];
        pair2[0] = "key2";
        pair2[1] = "value2";
        list2[1] = pair2;
    }

    System.out.println("Preparing connection");
    SingleConnectionDataSource scds = new SingleConnectionDataSource();
    scds.setDriverClassName("oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver");
    scds.setUrl("jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:1521:service_name");
    scds.setUsername(...);
    scds.setPassword(...);
    Connection conn = scds.getConnection();

    System.out.println("Preparing array of strings");
    ArrayDescriptor descriptor1 = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("VARCHAR2_TABLE", conn );
    ARRAY arrayToPass1 = new ARRAY( descriptor1, conn, list1 );

    System.out.println("Preparing array of string pairs");
    ArrayDescriptor descriptor2 = ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("VARCHAR2_PAIRS_TABLE", conn );
    ARRAY arrayToPass2 = new ARRAY( descriptor2, conn, list2 );

    System.out.println("Calling procedure");
    OraclePreparedStatement ps = (OraclePreparedStatement) conn.prepareStatement( "{ call arrays_from_java( ?, ?, ? ) }" );
    ps.setString( 1, "string");
    ps.setARRAY( 2, arrayToPass1 );
    ps.setARRAY( 3, arrayToPass2 );
    ps.execute();
    ps.close();
}

.

Należy też dodać do classpath orai18n.jar, gdyż w przeciwnym wypadku jeśli baza nie będzie miała formatu UTF8 może występować błąd, że stringi się nullują podczas przekazywania do procedury

Atom Feeds with Spring MVC

How to add feeds (Atom) to your web application with just two classes?
How about Spring MVC?

Here are my assumptions:
  • you are using Spring framework
  • you have some entity, say “News”, that you want to publish in your feeds
  • your "News" entity has creationDate, title, and shortDescription
  • you have some repository/dao, say "NewsRepository", that will return the news from your database
  • you want to write as little as possible
  • you don't want to format Atom (xml) by hand
You actually do NOT need to use Spring MVC in your application already. If you do, skip to step 3.


Step 1: add Spring MVC dependency to your application
With maven that will be:
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-webmvc</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.0.RELEASE</version>
</dependency>

Step 2: add Spring MVC DispatcherServlet
With web.xml that would be:
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <servlet-class>org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet</servlet-class>
    <init-param>
        <param-name>contextConfigLocation</param-name>
        <param-value>classpath:spring-mvc.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>1</load-on-startup>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
    <servlet-name>dispatcher</servlet-name>
    <url-pattern>/feed</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Notice, I set the url-pattern to “/feed” which means I don't want Spring MVC to handle any other urls in my app (I'm using a different web framework for the rest of the app). I also give it a brand new contextConfigLocation, where only the mvc configuration is kept.

Remember that, when you add a DispatcherServlet to an app that already has Spring (from ContextLoaderListener for example), your context is inherited from the global one, so you should not create beans that exist there again, or include xml that defines them. Watch out for Spring context getting up twice, and refer to spring or servlet documentation to understand what's happaning.

Step 3. add ROME – a library to handle Atom format
With maven that is:
<dependency>
    <groupId>net.java.dev.rome</groupId>
    <artifactId>rome</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Step 4. write your very simple controller
@Controller
public class FeedController {
    static final String LAST_UPDATE_VIEW_KEY = "lastUpdate";
    static final String NEWS_VIEW_KEY = "news";
    private NewsRepository newsRepository;
    private String viewName;

    protected FeedController() {} //required by cglib

    public FeedController(NewsRepository newsRepository, String viewName) {
        notNull(newsRepository); hasText(viewName);
        this.newsRepository = newsRepository;
        this.viewName = viewName;
    }

    @RequestMapping(value = "/feed", method = RequestMethod.GET)        
    @Transactional
    public ModelAndView feed() {
        ModelAndView modelAndView = new ModelAndView();
        modelAndView.setViewName(viewName);
        List<News> news = newsRepository.fetchPublished();
        modelAndView.addObject(NEWS_VIEW_KEY, news);
        modelAndView.addObject(LAST_UPDATE_VIEW_KEY, getCreationDateOfTheLast(news));
        return modelAndView;
    }

    private Date getCreationDateOfTheLast(List<News> news) {
        if(news.size() > 0) {
            return news.get(0).getCreationDate();
        }
        return new Date(0);
    }
}
And here's a test for it, in case you want to copy&paste (who doesn't?):
@RunWith(MockitoJUnitRunner.class)
public class FeedControllerShould {
    @Mock private NewsRepository newsRepository;
    private Date FORMER_ENTRY_CREATION_DATE = new Date(1);
    private Date LATTER_ENTRY_CREATION_DATE = new Date(2);
    private ArrayList<News> newsList;
    private FeedController feedController;

    @Before
    public void prepareNewsList() {
        News news1 = new News().title("title1").creationDate(FORMER_ENTRY_CREATION_DATE);
        News news2 = new News().title("title2").creationDate(LATTER_ENTRY_CREATION_DATE);
        newsList = newArrayList(news2, news1);
    }

    @Before
    public void prepareFeedController() {
        feedController = new FeedController(newsRepository, "viewName");
    }

    @Test
    public void returnViewWithNews() {
        //given
        given(newsRepository.fetchPublished()).willReturn(newsList);
        
        //when
        ModelAndView modelAndView = feedController.feed();
        
        //then
        assertThat(modelAndView.getModel())
                .includes(entry(FeedController.NEWS_VIEW_KEY, newsList));
    }

    @Test
    public void returnViewWithLastUpdateTime() {
        //given
        given(newsRepository.fetchPublished()).willReturn(newsList);

        //when
        ModelAndView modelAndView = feedController.feed();

        //then
        assertThat(modelAndView.getModel())
                .includes(entry(FeedController.LAST_UPDATE_VIEW_KEY, LATTER_ENTRY_CREATION_DATE));
    }

    @Test
    public void returnTheBeginningOfTimeAsLastUpdateInViewWhenListIsEmpty() {
        //given
        given(newsRepository.fetchPublished()).willReturn(new ArrayList<News>());

        //when
        ModelAndView modelAndView = feedController.feed();

        //then
        assertThat(modelAndView.getModel())
                .includes(entry(FeedController.LAST_UPDATE_VIEW_KEY, new Date(0)));
    }
}
Notice: here, I'm using fest-assert and mockito. The dependencies are:
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.easytesting</groupId>
 <artifactId>fest-assert</artifactId>
 <version>1.4</version>
 <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
 <groupId>org.mockito</groupId>
 <artifactId>mockito-all</artifactId>
 <version>1.8.5</version>
 <scope>test</scope>
</dependency>

Step 5. write your very simple view
Here's where all the magic formatting happens. Be sure to take a look at all the methods of Entry class, as there is quite a lot you may want to use/fill.
import org.springframework.web.servlet.view.feed.AbstractAtomFeedView;
[...]

public class AtomFeedView extends AbstractAtomFeedView {
    private String feedId = "tag:yourFantastiSiteName";
    private String title = "yourFantastiSiteName: news";
    private String newsAbsoluteUrl = "http://yourfanstasticsiteUrl.com/news/"; 

    @Override
    protected void buildFeedMetadata(Map<String, Object> model, Feed feed, HttpServletRequest request) {
        feed.setId(feedId);
        feed.setTitle(title);
        setUpdatedIfNeeded(model, feed);
    }

    private void setUpdatedIfNeeded(Map<String, Object> model, Feed feed) {
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        Date lastUpdate = (Date)model.get(FeedController.LAST_UPDATE_VIEW_KEY);
        if (feed.getUpdated() == null || lastUpdate != null || lastUpdate.compareTo(feed.getUpdated()) > 0) {
            feed.setUpdated(lastUpdate);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected List<Entry> buildFeedEntries(Map<String, Object> model, HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws Exception {
        @SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
        List<News> newsList = (List<News>)model.get(FeedController.NEWS_VIEW_KEY);
        List<Entry> entries = new ArrayList<Entry>();
        for (News news : newsList) {
            addEntry(entries, news);
        }
        return entries;
    }

    private void addEntry(List<Entry> entries, News news) {
        Entry entry = new Entry();
        entry.setId(feedId + ", " + news.getId());
        entry.setTitle(news.getTitle());
        entry.setUpdated(news.getCreationDate());
        entry = setSummary(news, entry);
        entry = setLink(news, entry);
        entries.add(entry);
    }

    private Entry setSummary(News news, Entry entry) {
        Content summary = new Content();
        summary.setValue(news.getShortDescription());
        entry.setSummary(summary);
        return entry;
    }

    private Entry setLink(News news, Entry entry) {
        Link link = new Link();
        link.setType("text/html");
        link.setHref(newsAbsoluteUrl + news.getId()); //because I have a different controller to show news at http://yourfanstasticsiteUrl.com/news/ID
        entry.setAlternateLinks(newArrayList(link));
        return entry;
    }

}

Step 6. add your classes to your Spring context
I'm using xml approach. because I'm old and I love xml. No, seriously, I use xml because I may want to declare FeedController a few times with different views (RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, etc.).

So this is the forementioned spring-mvc.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
       xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
       xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans.xsd">

    <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.ContentNegotiatingViewResolver">
        <property name="mediaTypes">
            <map>
                <entry key="atom" value="application/atom+xml"/>
                <entry key="html" value="text/html"/>
            </map>
        </property>
        <property name="viewResolvers">
            <list>
                <bean class="org.springframework.web.servlet.view.BeanNameViewResolver"/>
            </list>
        </property>
    </bean>

    <bean class="eu.margiel.pages.confitura.feed.FeedController">
        <constructor-arg index="0" ref="newsRepository"/>
        <constructor-arg index="1" value="atomFeedView"/>
    </bean>

    <bean id="atomFeedView" class="eu.margiel.pages.confitura.feed.AtomFeedView"/>
</beans>

And you are done.

I've been asked a few times before to put all the working code in some public repo, so this time it's the other way around. I've describe things that I had already published, and you can grab the commit from the bitbucket.

Hope that helps.

Clojure web development – state of the art

It’s now more than a year that I’m getting familiar with Clojure and the more I dive into it, the more it becomes the language. Once you defeat the “parentheses fear”, everything else just makes the difference: tooling, community, good engineering practices. So it’s now time for me to convince others. In this post I’ll try to walktrough a simple web application from scratch to show key tools and libraries used to develop with Clojure in late 2015.

Note for Clojurians: This material is rather elementary and may be useful for you if you already know Clojure a bit but never did anything bigger than hello world application.

Note for Java developers: This material shows how to replace Spring, Angular, grunt, live-reload with a bunch of Clojure tools and libraries and a bit of code.

The repo with final code and individual steps is here.

Bootstrap

I think all agreed that component is the industry standard for managing lifecycle of Clojure applications. If you are a Java developer you may think of it as a Spring (DI) replacement - you declare dependencies between “components” which are resolved on “system” startup. So you just say “my component needs a repository/database pool” and component library “injects” it for you.

To keep things simple I like to start with duct web app template. It’s a nice starter component application following the 12-factor philosophy. So let’s start with it:

lein new duct clojure-web-app +example

The +example parameter tells duct to create an example endpoint with HTTP routes - this would be helpful. To finish bootstraping run lein setup inside clojure-web-app directory.

Ok, let’s dive into the code. Component and injection related code should be in system.clj file:

(defn new-system [config]
  (let [config (meta-merge base-config config)]
    (-> (component/system-map
         :app  (handler-component (:app config))
         :http (jetty-server (:http config))
         :example (endpoint-component example-endpoint))
        (component/system-using
         {:http [:app]
          :app  [:example]
          :example []}))))

In the first section you instantiate components without dependencies, which are resolved in the second section. So in this example, “http” component (server) requires “app” (application abstraction), which in turn is injected with “example” (actual routes). If your component needs others, you just can get then by names (precisely: by Clojure keywords).

To start the system you must fire a REPL - interactive environment running within context of your application:

lein repl

After seeing prompt type (go). Application should start, you can visit http://localhost:3000 to see some example page.

A huge benefit of using component approach is that you get fully reloadable application. When you change literally anything - configuration, endpoints, implementation, you can just type (reset) in REPL and your application is up-to-date with the code. It’s a feature of the language, no JRebel, Spring-reloaded needed.

Adding REST endpoint

Ok, in the next step let’s add some basic REST endpoint returning JSON. We need to add 2 dependencies in project.clj file:

:dependencies
 ...
  [ring/ring-json "0.3.1"]
  [cheshire "5.1.1"]

Ring-json adds support for JSON for your routes (in ring it’s called middleware) and cheshire is Clojure JSON parser (like Jackson in Java). Modifying project dependencies if one of the few tasks that require restarting the REPL, so hit CTRL-C and type lein repl again.

To configure JSON middleware we have to add wrap-json-body and wrap-json-response just before wrap-defaults in system.clj:

(:require 
 ...
 [ring.middleware.json :refer [wrap-json-body wrap-json-response]])

(def base-config
   {:app {:middleware [[wrap-not-found :not-found]
                      [wrap-json-body {:keywords? true}]
                      [wrap-json-response]
                      [wrap-defaults :defaults]]

And finally, in endpoint/example.clj we must add some route with JSON response:

(:require 
 ...
 [ring.util.response :refer [response]]))

(defn example-endpoint [config]
  (routes
    (GET "/hello" [] (response {:hello "world"}))
    ...

Reload app with (reset) in REPL and test new route with curl:

curl -v http://localhost:3000/hello

< HTTP/1.1 200 OK
< Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2015 21:17:37 GMT
< Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8
< Set-Cookie: ring-session=37c337fb-6bbc-4e65-a060-1997718d03e0;Path=/;HttpOnly
< X-XSS-Protection: 1; mode=block
< X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN
< X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff
< Content-Length: 151
* Server Jetty(9.2.10.v20150310) is not blacklisted
< Server: Jetty(9.2.10.v20150310)
<
* Connection #0 to host localhost left intact
{"hello": "world"}

It works! In case of any problems you can find working version in this commit.

Adding frontend with figwheel

Coding backend in Clojure is great, but what about the frontend? As you may already know, Clojure could be compiled not only to JVM bytecode, but also to Javascript. This may sound familiar if you used e.g. Coffescript. But ClojureScript philosophy is not only to provide some syntax sugar, but improve your development cycle with great tooling and fully interactive development. Let’s see how to achieve it.

The best way to introduce ClojureScript to a project is figweel. First let’s add fighweel plugin and configuration to project.clj:

:plugins
   ...
   [lein-figwheel "0.3.9"]

And cljsbuild configuration:

:cljsbuild
    {:builds [{:id "dev"
               :source-paths ["src-cljs"]
               :figwheel true
               :compiler {:main       "clojure-web-app.core"
                          :asset-path "js/out"
                          :output-to  "resources/public/js/clojure-web-app.js"
                          :output-dir "resources/public/js/out"}}]}

In short this tells ClojureScript compiler to take sources from src-cljs with figweel support and but resulting JavaScript into resources/public/js/clojure-web-app.js file. So we need to include this file in a simple HTML page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
  <div id="main">
  </div>
  <script src="js/clojure-web-app.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</body>
</html>

To serve this static file we need to change some defaults and add corresponding route. In system.clj change api-defaults to site-defaults both in require section and base-config function. In example.clj add following route:

(GET "/" [] (io/resource "public/index.html")

Again (reset) in REPL window should reload everything.

But where is our ClojureScript source file? Let’s create file core.cljs in src-cljs/clojure-web-app directory:

(ns ^:figwheel-always clojure-web-app.core)

(enable-console-print!)

(println "hello from clojurescript")

Open another terminal and run lein fighweel. It should compile ClojureScript and print ‘Prompt will show when figwheel connects to your application’. Open http://localhost:3000. Fighweel window should prompt:

To quit, type: :cljs/quit
cljs.user=>

Type (js/alert "hello"). Boom! If everything worked you should see and alert in your browser. Open developers console in your browser. You should see hello from clojurescript printed on the console. Change it in core.cljs to (println "fighweel rocks") and save the file. Without reloading the page your should see updated message. Figweel rocks! Again, in case of any problems, refer to this commit.

In the next post I’ll show how to fetch data from MongoDB, serve it with REST to the broser and write ReactJs/Om components to render it. Stay tuned!
