Tutorial 11 – Spring Web Service

This tutorial will guide you through building a simple web service using spring
framework. This tutorial assumes that you have gone through Tutorials 1-10
& the source code for tutorials 1-10. Also refer to spring-ws-reference.pdf
(http://static.springframework.org/spring-ws/site/reference/pdf/spring-ws-
reference.pdf ) for further information.

Step 1: Create a project named simpleWeb2. Run the following command in a command
window:

C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial>mvn archetype:create \
-DarchetypeGroupId=org.springframework.ws -DarchetypeArtifactId=spring-ws-archetype \
-DarchetypeVesrion=1.0.0 -DgroupId=com.mytutorial -DartifactId=simpleWeb2

Step 2: Now you should have the simpleWeb2 project with some basic files like pom.xml,
web.xml, spring-ws-servlet.xml etc.

Step 3: Open the pom.xml file under “C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial\simpleWeb2” in a text

pad and modify it to look as shown below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Note: The <exclusion> tags will remove any transitive dependencies you would like to
exclude. Look at the .pom file as shown above for the dependencies defined and you can
exclude them if you wish.

Step 3: Next step is to generate eclipse metadata using the mvn command as shown below:

C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial\simpleWeb2>mvn eclipse:eclipse

Step 4: We can now import this project into eclipse. File Æ Import and then
 9

Step 5: Next step is to create a folder “java” for the java files under “src/main”. Right click on
simpleWeb2 and select “properties”
10
 11
Step 6: Now define the input XML file and its contract. Create a new folder “etc” under
“simpleWeb2” for any miscellaneous files like “simple.xml” that are not packaged.

<simpleRequest>
<firstname>John</firstname>
<surname>Smith</surname>
</simpleRequest>

The next step is to define the schema definition for the above xml file. The “simple.xsd”
should be created under “C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial\simpleWeb2\src\main\webapp\WEB-
INF” as shown below:

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
targetNamespace="http://mytutorial.com/schemas"
xmlns="http://mytutorial.com/schemas" >
<xs:element name="firstname">
<xs:complexType mixed="true" />
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="surname">
<xs:complexType mixed="true" />
</xs:element>

<xs:element name="simpleRequest">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element ref="firstname" />
<xs:element ref="surname" />
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>
 12

Step 7: The web.xml can remain as it is.

Step 8: With spring-ws, you do not have to define the .wsdl file. It will be automatically
generated based on your simple.xsd file you just created and the simple-ws-servlet.xml
(the file convention is <servlet-name-defined-in-web.xml>-servlet.xml) file you are about to
define.

<property name="targetNamespace"
value="http://mytutorial.com/definitions" />
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>

Step 9: The next step is to define the end point class as shown below to read the incoming
XML request and construct an XML response back to the caller. Create a new package
com.mytutorial under “java” and then create the java file “SimpleEndPoint.java”.

package com.mytutorial;
 14
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.AbstractDomPayloadEndpoint;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;

public class SimpleEndPoint extends AbstractDomPayloadEndpoint {

public SimpleEndPoint() {
System.out.println("Instantiated .............. ");
}

protected Element invokeInternal(Element simpleRequest, Document document)

throws Exception {
System.out.println("Testing End Point.......................");

String fn =simpleRequest.getElementsByTagName("firstname")
.item(0).getTextContent();
String sn =simpleRequest.getElementsByTagName("surname")
.item(0).getTextContent();

String requestText = "firstname=" + fn + " " + "surname=" + sn;

System.out.println("request is for: " + requestText);

Element responseElement = document.createElement

(“simpleResponse");
responseElement.setTextContent(fn + " " + sn);

return responseElement;
}

Step 10: Finally we need to create a Web Services client named “Client.java” to invoke our
web service.

package com.mytutorial;

import java.io.StringReader;

import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamResult;
 15
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;

import org.springframework.ws.client.core.WebServiceTemplate;

public class Client{

private static final String MSG =

"<simpleRequest><firstname>John</firstname><surname>Smith</surname></simpleRequest>";
private static final String URL = "http://localhost:8080/simpleWeb2/simpleService/";

public static void main(String[] args) {

WebServiceTemplate template = new WebServiceTemplate();
StreamSource source = new StreamSource(new StringReader(MSG));
StreamResult result = new StreamResult(System.out);
template.sendSourceAndReceiveToResult(URL,source, result);

Step 11: Deploy the “simpleWeb2” war file into Tomcat under eclipse and start the Tomcat
Server.
 16

Open up a browser and type the following URL

http://localhost:8080/simpleWeb2/simpleService/simple.wsdl to look at the generated
simple.wsdl file as shown below:
 17

Step 11: Run the Client.java (Right click and Run As Æ Java Application) file and check
the output printed on the console.

The server output is as follows:

The client output is as follows:

 18

That’s all to it.

Tutorial 12 – Spring Web Service with Logging

This tutorial is a continuation of Tutorial 11. In this tutorial I will be turning on the logging
feature of spring-ws framework via log4j & interceptors provided by spring-ws so that soap
messages can be printed.

Step 1: Add log4j.xml file under “src/main/resources”

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/">

<appender name="ConsoleAppender"
class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender">
<layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout" />
</appender>

<logger name="org.springframework.ws">
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender"/>
</logger>

<root>
<level value="debug" />
<appender-ref ref="ConsoleAppender"/>

</root>
</log4j:configuration>

Step 2: Modify “spring-ws-servlet.xml” to add the soap interceptors as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 20
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans
http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans/spring-beans-2.0.xsd">

<bean id="simpleEndPoint" class="com.mytutorial.SimpleEndPoint" />

<bean

class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.mapping.PayloadRootQNameEndpointMapping">
<property name="mappings">
<props>
<prop key="simpleRequest">simpleEndPoint</prop>
</props>
</property>
<property name="interceptors"> Interceptors
<list>
<bean class="org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.interceptor.PayloadLoggingInterceptor"/>
<bean
class="org.springframework.ws.soap.server.endpoint.interceptor.SoapEnvelopeLoggingInterceptor"/>
</list>

</property>
</bean>

<bean id="simple"
class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.DynamicWsdl11Definition">
<property name="builder">
<bean

class="org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.builder.XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder">
<property name="schema" value="/WEB-INF/simple.xsd" />
<property name="portTypeName" value="simple" />
<property name="locationUri"
value="http://localhost:8080/simpleWeb2/simpleService/" />
<property name="targetNamespace"
value="http://mytutorial.com/definitions" />
</bean>
</property>
</bean>
</beans>
 21

Step 3: Deploy the “simpleWeb2” to Tomcat and run the client again and you should now be
able to see a number of debug messages. Take note of the SOAP messages.
 22
Tutorial 13 – Spring JMS

This tutorial will guide you through building a simple messaging (i.e. JMS
based) application using spring framework. You need a message broker or a
JMS provider for your JMS applications. There are number of brokers (aka
providers) both commercial like Websphere MQ (used to be called MQSeries),
Web Methods etc and open source providers like Active MQ, OpenJMS etc.
To keep things simple, I will be using OpnenJMS
(http://openjms.sourceforge.net/ ) in this tutorial as our JMS provider. This
tutorial is based on http://www.devx.com/Java/Article/20903.

Step 1: Download and install OpenJMS from

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54559&package_id=49266 . The
installation is basically extracting the archive into your c:\java folder. You can either use a
WinZip utility or “jar xvf openjms-0.7.6.1.zip” from a command prompt.

You can start & stop the server in a command prompt using batch scripts under “bin”
directory. Also have a look at the opnejms.xml file under “config” folder where connection
factories (e.g. Topic Connection Factories, Queue Connection Factories) & the destinations
like queues and topics are configured. These are JNDI administered objects and loaded into a
JNDI tree (i.e. integral part of OpenJMS) when the server starts up.
 23

You can start the server by running the “startup.bat” under C:\java\openjms-0.7.6.1\bin.

You can shutdown the server by running the “shutdown.bat” under C:\java\openjms-
0.7.6.1\bin.

Refer http://openjms.sourceforge.net/usersguide/index.html for documentation.

Also have a look at the openjms.xml file under C:\java\openjms-0.7.6.1\config where some
default JNDI administered Connection Factories and destinations are defined.
 24

Step 2: Create a new simple2 project by running the following command in a command
prompt.

C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial>mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mytutorial \

-DartifactId=simple2

Step 3: Generate eclipse metadata files like .project & .classpath by running the following
command.

C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial\simple2>mvn eclipse:eclipse
 25

Step 4: Import this project into eclipse workspace as did in previous tutorials.

Step 5: Copy jms-1.0.2a.jar from “C:\java\openjms-0.7.6.1\lib” to “C:\java\maven_lib” from

where we can install this jar file into our local repository.

Run the following command to install the jms-1.0.2a.jar into our local repository at
“C:\java\.m2\repository”.
 26

C:\java\maven_lib>mvn install:install-file -Dfile=jms-1.0.2a.jar -DgroupId=javax.jms \

-DartifactId=jms -Dversion=1.0.2a -Dpackaging=jar -DgeneratePom=true

Step 6: Now open up the pom.xml file under “C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial\simple2” to add

the dependencies as shown below:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<project>
<parent>
<artifactId>simple-tutorial</artifactId>
<groupId>com.mytutorial</groupId>
<version>1.0</version>
</parent>
<modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
<groupId>com.mytutorial</groupId>
<artifactId>simple2</artifactId>
<name>simple2</name>
<version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
<url>http://maven.apache.org</url>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>junit</groupId>
<artifactId>junit</artifactId>
<version>3.8.1</version>
<scope>test</scope>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-jms</artifactId>
<version>2.0.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>javax.jms</groupId>
<artifactId>jms</artifactId>
<version>1.0.2a</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>openjms</groupId>
<artifactId>openjms-client</artifactId>
<version>0.7.6</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>exolabcore</groupId>
<artifactId>exolabcore</artifactId>
<version>0.3.7</version>
</dependency>

</dependencies>
 27
</project>

Step 7: Run the following command in a command prompt to update the project build path
dependencies.

C:\tutorials\simple-tutorial\simple2>mvn eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

Now inside eclipse right click on “simple2” and press “F5” to refresh. Check your build path
for dependency files as shown below:
 28

Step 8: Create the following .java files under com.mytutorial package.

MyJmsService.java

package com.mytutorial;

public interface MyJmsService {

public abstract void process();

MyJmsServiceImpl.java

package com.mytutorial;

public class MyJmsServiceImpl implements MyJmsService {

private JmsSender sender;

private JmsReceiver receiver;

public JmsSender getSender() {

return sender;
}

public void setSender(JmsSender sender) {

this.sender = sender;
}

public JmsReceiver getReceiver() {

return receiver;
}

public void setReceiver(JmsReceiver receiver) {

this.receiver = receiver;
}

public void process() {

sender.sendMesage();

//sleep for 10 seconds so that you can see the message in

//the OpenJMS admin console
try {
Thread.sleep(10000);
}
 29

catch (InterruptedException iex) {

}
receiver.processMessage();
}

JmsSender.java

package com.mytutorial;

import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.Session;

import org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate102;
import org.springframework.jms.core.MessageCreator;

public class JmsSender {

private JmsTemplate102 jmsTemplate102;

public JmsTemplate102 getJmsTemplate102() {

return jmsTemplate102;
}

public void setJmsTemplate102(JmsTemplate102 jmsTemplate102) {

this.jmsTemplate102 = jmsTemplate102;
}
Defined in openjms.xml under C:\java\openjms-
public void sendMesage() { 0.7.6.1\config
jmsTemplate102.send("queue1", new MessageCreator() {
public Message createMessage(Session session)
throws JMSException {
return session.createTextMessage("This is a
sample message");
}
});
}

}
JmsReceiver.java

package com.mytutorial;

import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;

import org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate102;

public class JmsReceiver {

private JmsTemplate102 jmsTemplate102;

public JmsTemplate102 getJmsTemplate102() {

return jmsTemplate102;
}

public void setJmsTemplate102(JmsTemplate102 jmsTemplate102) {

this.jmsTemplate102 = jmsTemplate102;
}

public void processMessage() {

 30
Message msg = jmsTemplate102.receive("queue1");
try {
TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage) msg;
if (msg != null) {
System.out.println(" Message Received -->"
+ textMessage.getText());
}

} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

Step 9: Next, we need to modify the “App.java”, which was created before when we ran the
maven archetype command.

App.java

package com.mytutorial;

import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import
org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext;

/**
* OpenJMS / Spring example
*
*/
public class App {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {

ApplicationContext ctx = new Spring context file

ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(
"applicationContext-simple2.xml");

MyJmsServiceImpl service = (MyJmsServiceImpl) ctx

.getBean("myJmsService");

service.process(); Defined in
“applicationContext-
} sample2.xml”
}

Now you should have the following files

 31

Step 10: Finally we need to wire all these using spring. We will declare this via
applicationContext-simple2.xml. Firstly need to create the “resources” folder under
“simple2/src/main”. You can do this via right clicking on “simple2” and then selecting
“properties”
 32

applicationContext-simple2.xml

Step 11: The final step is to run this application. Firstly make sure that the “OpenJMS” server
has started. If not start it by:

Next open up the “OpenJMS administrator” from a separate command prompt:

This will spawn a new window:

 35

Finally run the App.java from the eclipse and also refresh the OpenJMS administrator screen
to check the message count in the destination(s).
 36

You can notice the presence of a sent message. This is the reason why a
Thread.sleep(10000) was added in “MyJmsServiceImpl.java” file in the
process(…) method.

After 10 seconds you should get an output as follows:

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger

(org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Message Received -->This is a sample message

Once the message is consumed the queue1 count will be back to “0”.

Experiment with sending different messages by modifying the code. You

could also try sending more than one messages and receive them in the
receiver by changing the code appropriately (receiver may require a
while loop to continuously monitor for messages). Also try the
publish/subscribe model.

Tutorial 14 – Spring JMS Asynchronous

In the last tutorial (Tutorial 13), we looked at consuming messages

synchronously. JMS is typically associated with asynchronous process.
During a synchronous receiving process the calling thread blocks until a
message becomes available or timeout occurs. Similar to MDBs (Message
Driven Beans) in the EJB world a Message Driven Pojo (MDP) can act as a
message receiver to receive messages asynchronously.

Step 1: Write the Message Driven Pojo (MDP) class.

MyListener.java

package com.mytutorial;

import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;

public class MyListener implements MessageListener {

public void onMessage(Message msg) {

if(msg instanceof TextMessage) {

System.out.println("Received msg asynchronously: " + (TextMessage)msg);
}
else {
throw new RuntimeException("This message should be of type TextMessage");
}

Step 2: Modify the “applicationContext-simple2.xml” to add the “messageListener” and

the “jmsContainer”.
 39
<!-- This is the Message Driven Pojo (MDP) -->
<bean id="messageListener" class="com.mytutorial.MyListener" />

<!-- This is the message listener container -->

<bean id="jmsContainer" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer102">
<property name="connectionFactory" ref="myJmsQueueConnectionFactory"/>
<property name="destination" ref="myQueue" />
<property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener" />
</bean>

<!-- JMS Queue Connection Factory -->

<bean id="myJmsQueueConnectionFactory" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiTemplate">
<ref bean="jndiTemplate" />
</property>
<property name="jndiName">
<value>JmsQueueConnectionFactory</value>
</property>
</bean>

<!-- JMS Destinations -->

<bean id="myQueue" class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean">
<property name="jndiTemplate">
<ref bean="jndiTemplate" />
</property>
<property name="jndiName">
<value>queue1</value>
</property>
</bean>

The complete “applicationContext-simple2.xml” should look like

<beans xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/beans"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

<!-- This is the Message Driven Pojo (MDP) -->

<bean id="messageListener" class="com.mytutorial.MyListener" />

<!-- This is the message listener container -->

<bean id="jmsContainer" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer102">
<property name="connectionFactory" ref="myJmsQueueConnectionFactory"/>
<property name="destination" ref="myQueue" />
<property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener" />
</bean>

<!-- JMS Queue Connection Factory -->

<bean id="myJmsQueueConnectionFactory"

</property>
</bean>

<bean id="myJmsService" class="com.mytutorial.MyJmsServiceImpl" >

<property name="sender">
<ref bean="jmsSender" />
</property>
<property name="receiver">
<ref bean="jmsReceiver" />
</property>
</bean>
<bean id="jmsSender" class="com.mytutorial.JmsSender">
<property name="jmsTemplate102">

</property>
</bean>
<bean id="jmsReceiver" class="com.mytutorial.JmsReceiver">
<property name="jmsTemplate102">
<ref bean="jmsQueueTemplate102" />
</property>
</bean>

<!-- JMS Queue Template -->

<bean id="jmsQueueTemplate102"
class="org.springframework.jms.core.JmsTemplate102">
<property name="connectionFactory">
<ref bean="myJmsQueueConnectionFactory" />
</property>
<property name="pubSubDomain">
<value>false</value>
</property>
<property name="receiveTimeout">
<value>20000</value>
</property>
</bean>

<bean id="jndiTemplate"
class="org.springframework.jndi.JndiTemplate">
<property name="environment">
<props>
<prop key="java.naming.factory.initial">
org.exolab.jms.jndi.InitialContextFactory
</prop>
<prop key="java.naming.provider.url">rmi://localhost:1099</prop>
</props>
 41
</property>
</bean>

</beans>

Step 3: Modify the “MyJmsServiceImpl.java” by commenting out the receiver section as

shown below.
package com.mytutorial;

public class MyJmsServiceImpl implements MyJmsService {

private JmsSender sender;

private JmsReceiver receiver;

public JmsSender getSender() {

return sender;
}

public void setSender(JmsSender sender) {

this.sender = sender;
}

public JmsReceiver getReceiver() {

return receiver;
}

public void setReceiver(JmsReceiver receiver) {

this.receiver = receiver;
}

public void process() {

sender.sendMesage();

//sleep for 10 seconds so that you can see the message in

//the OpenJMS admin console

/*try {
Thread.sleep(10000); commented
}

catch (InterruptedException iex) {

}
receiver.processMessage();*/
}

Step 4: Make sure that the “OpenJMS Server” is running and then run the App.java and see
asynchronous message receipts in action.

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger

(org.springframework.context.support.ClassPathXmlApplicationContext).
log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.
Received msg asynchronously:This is a sample message
 42

That’s all to it. Experiment with publish/subscribe, multiple messages etc. Also refer to spring
reference documentation at http://www.springframework.org/docs/reference/index.html.
