java.util.logging: Programmatic configuration and logging with Java8 lambdas


Posted on Monday Mar 30, 2015 at 06:24PM in Technology


Configuration

We can put configurations in following places (ordered by priority):

  1. java.util.logging.config.class system property. specify FQCN of a class here

  2. java.util.logging.config.file system property. specify the path to a property file here

  3. $JAVA_HOME/lib/logging.properties file. put JRE-wide configuration here

Use of java.util.logging.config.class is most flexible. in that way we can simply put a config class under src/test/java for unit tests. we need to put configuration procedures in the default constructor. an implementation would be something like following:

package testutil;

import java.util.logging.*;

public class LoggingConfig {
    public LoggingConfig() {
        try {
            // Load a properties file from class path that way can't be achieved with java.util.logging.config.file
            /*
            final LogManager logManager = LogManager.getLogManager();
            try (final InputStream is = getClass().getResourceAsStream("/logging.properties")) {
                logManager.readConfiguration(is);
            }
            */

            // Programmatic configuration
            System.setProperty("java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format",
                    "%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$td %1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS.%1$tL %4$-7s [%3$s] (%2$s) %5$s %6$s%n");

            final ConsoleHandler consoleHandler = new ConsoleHandler();
            consoleHandler.setLevel(Level.FINEST);
            consoleHandler.setFormatter(new SimpleFormatter());

            final Logger app = Logger.getLogger("app");
            app.setLevel(Level.FINEST);
            app.addHandler(consoleHandler);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // The runtime won't show stack traces if the exception is thrown
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

If you prefer configuration in a property file rather than a config class, following will work as the same to config class:

handlers=java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter=java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter
java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter.format=%1$tY-%1$tm-%1$td %1$tH:%1$tM:%1$tS.%1$tL %4$-7s [%3$s] (%2$s) %5$s %6$s%n

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level=FINEST
app.level=FINEST

To set system property for every test execution, put following plugin definition to your pom.xml. note that IntelliJ IDEA respects this configuration in its test execution.

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.18.1</version>
    <configuration>
        <systemPropertyVariables>
            <java.util.logging.config.class>
                testutil.LoggingConfig
            </java.util.logging.config.class>

            <!-- If you prefer a file this will work too -->
            <!--<java.util.logging.config.file>-->
                <!--src/test/resources/logging.properties-->
            <!--</java.util.logging.config.file>-->
        </systemPropertyVariables>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Logging examples

Application class:

public class MyClass {
    private static final Logger log = Logger.getLogger(MyClass.class.getName());
    public String hello(String greetings, String name) {
        // entering will be logged as FINER
        log.entering(MyClass.class.getName(), "hello", new Object[]{greetings, name});

        // lambdas
        log.finest(() -> "finest: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.finer(() -> "finer: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.fine(() -> "fine: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.info(() -> "info: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.warning(() -> "warning: " + LocalDateTime.now());
        log.severe(() -> "severe: " + LocalDateTime.now());

        // exception logging

        // throwing will be logged as FINER
        log.throwing(MyClass.class.getName(), "hello", new Exception("test"));

        // exception + message logging with lambda
        log.log(Level.FINEST, new Exception("test"), () -> String.format("arg=%s", name));

        // exception + parameter logging with LogRecord
        final LogRecord record = new LogRecord(Level.FINEST, "arg={0}");
        record.setThrown(new Exception("test"));
        record.setLoggerName(log.getName()); // logger name will be null unless this
        record.setParameters(new Object[]{name});
        log.log(record);

        final String rc = greetings + ", " + name;

        // exiting will be logged as FINER
        log.exiting(MyClass.class.getName(), "hello", rc);
        return rc;
    }
}

Test:

public class MyClassTest {
    @org.junit.Test
    public void testHello() throws Exception {
        MyClass sut = new MyClass();
        Assert.assertEquals("Hello, Kyle", sut.hello("Hello", "Kyle"));
    }
}

Output:

I need that for Arquillian testing so I created an utility method for that.


Enabling RequestDumpingHandler of Undertow


Posted on Friday Mar 20, 2015 at 05:01PM in WildFly


Tested with WildFly 8.2.0.Final. Issue following command via jboss-cli and restart the server:

/subsystem=undertow/configuration=filter/custom-filter=request-dumper:add(class-name=io.undertow.server.handlers.RequestDumpingHandler, module=io.undertow.core)
/subsystem=undertow/server=default-server/host=default-host/filter-ref=request-dumper:add

Following log will be dumped to the console:

----------------------------REQUEST---------------------------

I’m disappointed that there is no dump of request body :(


Building environment specific artifacts with classifier


Posted on Friday Mar 20, 2015 at 03:09PM in Maven


Consider following multi-module Maven project:

  • classifier: The parent & aggregator project

  • persistence: A jar project which holds JPA entities and a persistence descriptor (persistence.xml)

  • web: A war project which depends on persistence project

persistence project contains following persistence descriptor:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<persistence version="2.1" xmlns="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/persistence/persistence_2_1.xsd">
    <persistence-unit name="myPU">
        <jta-data-source>java:jboss/datasources/ExampleDS</jta-data-source>
        <properties>
            <property name="javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action"
                      value="${javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action}"/>
        </properties>
    </persistence-unit>
</persistence>

I need to set javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action property as drop-and-create for development environment, but none for production environment. in such case, using profiles and filtering might be a solution, but its shortcoming is that we can hold only one (among environment specific builds) artifact in the local repository because these builds has same coordinate. it may bring unexpected result such as deploying development build to the production environment by some accident. in such case, using classifier would be a better solution.

Preparation

First, let’s enable resource filtering in persistence project.

<build>
    <resources>
        <resource>
            <directory>src/main/resources</directory>
            <filtering>true</filtering>
        </resource>
    </resources>

    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <executions>
                <!-- Filter and copy resources under src/main/resources into target/classes (default location) -->
                <execution>
                    <id>default-resources</id>
                    <phase>process-resources</phase>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>resources</goal>
                    </goals>
                    <configuration>
                        <filters>
                            <filter>${basedir}/filters/dev.properties</filter>
                        </filters>
                    </configuration>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Then put filters/dev.properties:

javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action=drop-and-create

Set a dependency in web project:

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.nailedtothex.examples.classifier</groupId>
        <artifactId>persistence</artifactId>
        <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

Add configurations for producing artifacts for production

Now we can make artifacts that holds filtered persistence.xml for development environment. next, let’s add configurations for producing artifacts for production environment with prod classifier.

Put following profile definition into persistence project to make the project to produce both of development and production (with prod classifier) artifacts:

<profile>
    <id>prod</id>
    <properties>
        <filteredResources>target/filtered-classes</filteredResources>
    </properties>
    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <!-- Filter and copy resources under src/main/resources into target/filtered-classes/prod -->
                    <execution>
                        <id>prod-resources</id>
                        <phase>process-resources</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>resources</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <outputDirectory>${filteredResources}/prod</outputDirectory>
                            <filters>
                                <filter>${basedir}/filters/prod.properties</filter>
                            </filters>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                    <!-- Copy classes under target/classes into target/filtered-classes/prod -->
                    <!-- Existing files will not be overwritten. -->
                    <!-- see http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/resources-mojo.html#overwrite -->
                    <execution>
                        <id>copy-classes-prod</id>
                        <phase>process-classes</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>copy-resources</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <outputDirectory>${filteredResources}/prod</outputDirectory>
                            <resources>
                                <resource>
                                    <directory>${project.build.outputDirectory}</directory>
                                    <filtering>false</filtering>
                                </resource>
                            </resources>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
            <plugin>
                <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
                <executions>
                    <!-- Create the production jar with files inside target/filtered-classes/prod  -->
                    <execution>
                        <id>prod-jar</id>
                        <phase>package</phase>
                        <goals>
                            <goal>jar</goal>
                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <classifier>prod</classifier>
                            <classesDirectory>${filteredResources}/prod</classesDirectory>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</profile>

Also put filters/prod.properties:

javax.persistence.schema-generation.database.action=none

Issue following command:

$ mvn clean install -P prod

Result:

...

You can see both of artifacts are installed as expected:

$ unzip -p /Users/kyle/.m2/repository/org/nailedtothex/examples/classifier/persistence/1.0-SNAPSHOT/persistence-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar META-INF/persistence.xml

So what is needed for web project? put following profile as well:

                        </goals>
                        <configuration>
                            <classifier>prod</classifier>
                            <packagingExcludes>WEB-INF/lib/persistence-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar</packagingExcludes>
                        </configuration>
                    </execution>
                </executions>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</profile>

Then you will get both of artifacts installed after issuing mvn clean install -P prod as follows:

$ unzip -l /Users/kyle/.m2/repository/org/nailedtothex/examples/classifier/web/1.0-SNAPSHOT/web-1.0-SNAPSHOT.war | grep persistence
     3521  03-20-15 14:25   WEB-INF/lib/persistence-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
$ unzip -l /Users/kyle/.m2/repository/org/nailedtothex/examples/classifier/web/1.0-SNAPSHOT/web-1.0-SNAPSHOT-prod.war | grep persistence
     3513  03-20-15 14:25   WEB-INF/lib/persistence-1.0-SNAPSHOT-prod.jar


Arquillian EJB-JAR/EAR testing examples


Posted on Friday Mar 20, 2015 at 10:33AM in Arquillian


There are plenty of examples of Arquillian testing with WAR deployments, but not for other deployments such as EJB-JAR or EAR. so I created some examples. these examples were tested against Arquillian 1.1.7.Final, using WildFly 8.2.0.Final as remote container. the entire project can be obtained from GitHub.

Testing against EJB-JAR deployment

Assume we have a simple EJB in a EJB-JAR project as follows:

@Stateless
@LocalBean
public class SomeEjb {
    public String hello(String name) {
        return "Hello, " + name;
    }
}

Test class:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class EjbJarIT {
    @Deployment
    public static Archive<?> createDeploymentPackage() {
        final Archive archive = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class).addClass(SomeEjb.class);
        return archive;
    }

    @EJB
    private SomeEjb someEjb;

    @Test
    public void test() {
        Assert.assertEquals("Hello, Kyle", someEjb.hello("Kyle"));
    }
}

The deployment will be a WAR through Arquillian’s automatic enrichment process while the method annotated as @Deployment produced JavaArchive.

Testing against EAR deployment

Assume we have a simple EAR project which depends on the preceding EJB-JAR project.

Test class:

@RunWith(Arquillian.class)
public class EarIT {

    @Deployment
    public static Archive<?> createDeploymentPackage() throws IOException {
        final JavaArchive ejbJar = ShrinkWrap.create(JavaArchive.class, "ejb-jar.jar").addClass(SomeEjb.class);

        // Embedding war package which contains the test class is needed
        // So that Arquillian can invoke test class through its servlet test runner
        final WebArchive testWar = ShrinkWrap.create(WebArchive.class, "test.war").addClass(EarIT.class);
        final EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.create(EnterpriseArchive.class)
                .setApplicationXML("test-application.xml")
                .addAsModule(ejbJar)
                .addAsModule(testWar);
        return ear;
    }

    @EJB
    private SomeEjb someEjb;

    @Test
    public void test() {
        Assert.assertEquals("Hello, Kyle", someEjb.hello("Kyle"));
    }
}

test-application.xml which will be embed as application.xml:

<application>
    <display-name>ear</display-name>
    <module>
        <ejb>ejb-jar.jar</ejb>
    </module>
    <module>
        <web>
            <web-uri>test.war</web-uri>
            <context-root>/test</context-root>
        </web>
    </module>
</application>

Also I have an another example that uses the EAR which Maven has produced because creating EAR with ShrinkWrap would be annoying in some complex cases. the @Deployment method will embed the test WAR into the EAR, and add a module element into existing application.xml before returning the archive to Arquillian runtime. the @Deployment method would be something like this:

...
@Deployment
public static Archive<?> createDeploymentPackage() throws IOException {
    final String testWarName = "test.war";

    final EnterpriseArchive ear = ShrinkWrap.createFromZipFile(
            EnterpriseArchive.class, new File("target/ear-1.0-SNAPSHOT.ear"));

    addTestWar(ear, EarFromZipFileIT.class, testWarName);
...
