How to use Global Transactions and Data Sources with Spring Framework 2.0.8 in J2EE Applications, Part 2

In the previous part (1st), we saw how to configure SAP JTA Transaction into the Spring Context, now we are going to review the SAP J2EE Datasources.

We need to review two parts:

1. Configuration of the JEE datasources in the data-sources.xml file (in according to the SAP AS Platform).

In the next picture, you can see the last file that I used in my project

data-sources.xml

In this image you can see the definition of the Driver JDBC (2nd box), it needs to be set-up in the Visual Administrator. After, you see the sql-engine tag, it allows us to define the SQL type support (help). The valid values are (link):

  • Open_SQL: the system returns a DBI CommonConnection
  • Native_SQL: the system returns a DBI DirectConnection
  • Vendor_SQL: the system returns a standard connection from JDBC driver (not using DBI at all)

In this case, I have used the value of Vendor_SQL because I have used iBatis in my persistence layer and not the persistence engines of SAP NW AS (jdo or entity beans).

Finally, you need to define the connection parameters as user, password, driver class name, and url parameters.

2. The configuration of Spring Application context.

In the first picture (in the 1st box on the picture), you can see the name of the datasource, we will use this name in the spring application contexte file, with the standard prefix "jdbc/" how the following picture shows

spring application context file

We need to create 2 beans to able the j2ee datasources in our development. The first bean is named "serviceLocator" and the 2nd the bean dataSource.

The bean serviceLocator is a bean factory to the dataSource bean, where the factory method "getDataSource" is defined in the class implementation of the bean serviceLocator.The implementation of this bean complais with the singleton pattern and in the bean definition also its scope is singleton. You could use obly the scope spring definition of the beans.

You ask yourself why you don't use "org.springframework.jndi.JndiObjectFactoryBean" or tag.
Well, I have tried them, but I didn't have success.

Finally, the name of the j2ee datasource is defined as parameter constructor for the dataSource bean.

Here the related source files.

My first serious Groovy class ..... decompiling java classes with closures

After I read the chapter 6 "closures" of the book Groovy and Grails Recipe, and I decided to use the power of closures of Groovy for resource (files) with other problem that I had, decompile in one step every class of jar library. Well, the purpose of this class is call an external java decompiler (jad) from a Groovy class and execute the command into directory where the jar file was decompressed. And by using the power of closures executes recursively into this directory until find the classes. Well, no more words, here the class package demo class Executor { // directory where the library(jar) was decompressed def path /** * Execute the decompilation of the classes into the directory defined in the path * @return */ def decompileClasses(){ def directory = new File(path) //make use of closures defined in the Object class directory.eachFileRecurse { def name = it.absolutePath //if the current resource hasn't a .class extension continues with...

How to .. Integration Non-SAP J2EE-based Web Applications into SAP Portal with SSO Part 1

We are going to integrate Non-SAP J2EE-based Web Applications into the SAP Portal with Application Integrator and SSO. In this part, I will discuss the overall of these posts and configure the iView with Application Integrator Overview of Integration. To perform this integration must take into account the following steps: Deployment of the portal application for the creation of the system portal object Create and set the type of Application Integrator iView that will contain the applications to integrate. Installing SAPSSOEXT and SAPSECU libraries Deployment of the application gateway called SsoGatewayWeb Changing the target application. This integration has the following restrictions: It applies only for web applications based on J2EE Servlet. Depend exclusively on the sucessful load of the libraries supported by SAP (sapssoext and sapsecu) in both Windows and UNIX environments. The target application must have created a profile for the user id logged to the SAP portal, this sh...

Convert HTML Content to PDF format using Java

I have researched about to convert HTML to PDF. I got 2 approaches. 1. Using Tidy and XSL-FO. 2. Using the project xhtmlrenderer Basically the 1st approach is : 1. Your HTML will need to be validate in according to XHTML, for this you could use Tidy . 2. After you will need to transform this new XHTML document in XLS-FO, you can review this link to find the stylesheet resource ( XHMTL to XLS-FO ). 3. Finally, convert your XLS-FO document in a PDF document. There are 2 links that could help with this approach: http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/3924 http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-04-2006/jw-0410-html.html The 2nd approach is using the project xhtmlrenderer (https://xhtmlrenderer.dev.java.net/) This is easier than 1st approach. This tool hides the steps mentioned in the 1st approach and use CSS. This project uses a CSS parser (http://sourceforge.net/projects/cssparser/). the unique problem the I found out was when you want to use external CSS file in your HTML file. In the example use...
