Happy Another Covid Day. When I use generate-all, Grails creates the Data Service for me. I begin to understand what a data service is.
I also have my own service for my Author and Book classes to use. I name my service ImportService. I have methods in the ImportService to clean up my book data read from a CSV file before the Data Service saves my books to the database. I also follow the instruction to make the Data Service an Abstract Class. So, I can put my own method in the Data Service.
Since the Author has its own AuthorService, and the Book has its own BookService, I want the different Data Service to access the method in my ImportService. So, I don't have to copy and paste the import CSV code multiple times. So, I put the line ImportService importService in the AuthorServie class and the BookService class. That does not go well. importService is always NULL inside the Data Service classes. I google the problem. They say I cannot inject another service to the grails.gorm.services.Service.
There is a post that says to make a bean. I am new to Grails. I have no idea what they are talking about even with the codes posted. Part of my background is Assembly Language, C, and Pascal. My head is filled with lingo like Top Down, Subroutine, library, Address, and Pointer. I have no idea what a Bean is.
This is what it is. I am wondering whether this is a bug or by design that you cannot inject a service to the gorm service.
Thanks for your "Pointer".
See the project at https://github.com/jeffbrown/tom6502servicedi. That project uses Grails 4.0.3 and GORM 7.0.7.

}
Sending a request to that someNumber action will verify that the ImportService is injected into the AuthorService and the AuthorService is injected into the AuthorController.
$ curl http://localhost:8080/author/someNumber
The Number Is 42

I need to build a custom command in a Grails 4 application (https://docs.grails.org/4.0.11/guide/single.html#creatingCustomCommands), and I need to get an handle to some Grails Services and Domain classes which I will query as needed.
The custom command skeleton is quite simple:
import grails.dev.commands.*
import org.apache.maven.artifact.Artifact
class HelloWorldCommand implements GrailsApplicationCommand {
boolean handle() {
return true
}
}
While the documentation says that a custom command has access to the whole application context, I haven't found any examples on how to get an handle of that and start accessing the various application artifacts.
Any hints?
EDIT: to add context and clarify the goal of the custom command in order for further recommendation/best practices/etc.: the command reads data from a file in a custom format, persist the data, and writes reports in another custom format.
Will eventually be replaced by a recurrent job, once the data will be available on demand from a third party REST API.

I am newbie for Guice and seeking help for the following use case :
I have developed one package say (PCKG) where the entry class of that package depends on other class like:
A : Entry point class --> #Inject A(B b) {}
B in turn is dependent on C and D like --> #Inject B(C c, D d) {}
In my binding module I am doing :
bind(BInterface).to(Bimpl);
bind(CInterface).to(CImpl);
...
Note I am not providing binding information for A as i want to provide its binding by its consumer class. (this is how the design is so my request is to keep the discussion on main problem rather than design).
Now my consumer class is doing like:
AModule extends PrivateModule {
protected void configure() {
bind(AInterface.class).annotatedWith(AImpl.class);
}
}
Also in my consumer package:
.(new PCKGModule(), new AModule())
Q1. Am i doing the bindings correctly in consumer class. I am confused because when i am doing some internal testing as below in my consumer package:
class testModule {
bind(BInterface).to(Bimpl);
bind(CInterface).to(CImpl)...
}
class TestApp {
public static void main(..) {
Guice.createInstance(new testModule());
Injector inj = Guice.createInstance(new AModule());
A obj = inj.getInstance(A.class);
}
}
It is throwing Guice creation exception.Please help me get rid of this situation.
Also one of my friend who is also naive to Guice was suggesting that I need to create B's instance in AModule using Provides annotation. But i really didn't get his point.
Your main method should look like this:
class TestApp {
public static void main(..) {
Injector injector = Guice.createInjector(new TestModule(), new AModule());
A obj = injector.getInstance(A.class);
}
Note that the Java convention is for class names to have the first letter capitalised.
I'm pretty sure your implementation of AModule isn't doing what you think it's doing either, but it's hard to be certain based on the information you've provided. Most likely, you mean to do this:
bind(AInterface.class).to(AImpl.class)`
There's no need to do anything "special" with A's binding. Guice resolves all the recursion for you. That's part of its "magic".
annotatedWith() is used together with to() or toInstance(), like this:
bind(AInterface.class).to(AImpl.class).annotatedWIth(Foo.class);
bind(AInterface.class).to(ZImpl.class).annotatedWIth(Bar.class);
Then you can inject different implementations by annotating your injection points, e.g.:
#Inject
MyInjectionPoint(#Foo AInterface getsAImpl, #Bar AInterface getsZImpl) {
....
}
It's worth also pointing out that you can potentially save yourself some boilerplate by not bothering with the binding modules (depending how your code is arranged) and using JIT bindings:
#ImplementedBy(AImpl.class)
public interface AInterface {
....
}
These effectively act as "defaults" which are overridden by explicit bindings, if they exist.
I thought DI was implemented to allow use the same services over the application, and change them as needed. However this snippet (Angular 2.0.0-beta.0) refuses to work:
# boot.ts
import {ProjectService} from './project.service'
bootstrap(AppComponent, [ProjectService]);
# my.component.ts
export class MyComponent {
constructor(project: ProjectService) {
}
}
and with explicit service requirement it works:
# my.component.ts
import {ProjectService} from './project.service';
export class MyComponent {
constructor(project: ProjectService) {
}
}
The official doc is somewhat inconsistent, but has the same in the plunkr example:
# boot.ts
import {HeroesListComponent} from './heroes-list.component';
import {HeroesService} from './heroes.service';
bootstrap(HeroesListComponent, [HeroesService])
# heroes-list.component.ts
import {HeroesService} from './heroes.service';
Is this the intended way of DI usage? Why we have to import service in every class requiring it, and where are the benefits if we can't just describe the service once on boot?
This isn't really related to dependency injection. You can't use a class in TS that is not imported.
This line references a class and DI derives from the type what instance to inject.
constructor(project: ProjectService) {
If the type isn't specified by a concrete import, DI can't know which of all possible ProjectService classes should be used.
What you can do for example, is to request a type (ProjectService) and get a different implementation (subclass like MockProjectService or EnhancedProjectService,...)
bootstrap(HeroesListComponent, [provide(ProjectService useClass: MockProjectService)]);
this way DI would inject a MockProjectService for the following constructor
constructor(project: ProjectService) {
I need to intercept calls to private methods in Grails services. The following aspect IS working for any annotated public methods, however nothing happens when the annotation is at PRIVATE methods.
import exceptions.DwcpExeption
import org.aspectj.lang.ProceedingJoinPoint
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Around
import org.aspectj.lang.annotation.Aspect
import org.slf4j.Logger
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component
#Aspect
#Component
public class LoggerInterceptor {
private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(LoggerInterceptor.class);
#Around("#annotation(newAnnotation)")
public Object aroundEvents(ProceedingJoinPoint proceedingJoinPoint, NewAnnotation newAnnotation) {
log.info newAnnotation.value()
String logMessage = String.format("%s.%s(%s)",
proceedingJoinPoint.getTarget().getClass().getName(),
proceedingJoinPoint.getSignature().getName(),
Arrays.toString(proceedingJoinPoint.getArgs()));
log.info "*Entering $logMessage"
def result
try {
result = proceedingJoinPoint.proceed()
catch (ex) {
log.error '', ex
}
log.info "*Exiting $logMessage. Result: $result"
return result
}
}
Maybe the problem is in config? I've tried in applicationContext.xml
<aop:aspectj-autoproxy proxy-target-class="true"/>
and in resources.groovy
aop.config("proxy-target-class": true)
Nevertheless, only public methods are intercepted.
Spring AOP is a proxy-based "AOP lite" approach in comparison to AspectJ. It only works for Spring components and only for public, non-static methods. This is also explained in the Spring AOP documentation as follows:
Due to the proxy-based nature of Spring’s AOP framework, protected methods are by definition not intercepted, neither for JDK proxies (where this isn’t applicable) nor for CGLIB proxies (where this is technically possible but not recommendable for AOP purposes). As a consequence, any given pointcut will be matched against public methods only!
If your interception needs include protected/private methods or even constructors, consider the use of Spring-driven native AspectJ weaving instead of Spring’s proxy-based AOP framework. This constitutes a different mode of AOP usage with different characteristics, so be sure to make yourself familiar with weaving first before making a decision.
Bottom line: Please switch to AspectJ which can be easily integrated into Spring applications via LTW (load-time weaving) as described in Section 9.8, “Using AspectJ with Spring applications”.
If you don't specify the scope it defaults to public. Add a pointcut for private methods:
#Around("#annotation(newAnnotation) && execution(private * *(..))")
In the C# language, using StructureMap 2.5.4, targeting .NET Framework 3.5 libraries.
I've taken the step to support multiple Profiles in a structure map DI setup, using ServiceLocator model with Bootstrapper activation. First setup was loading default registry, using the scanner.
Now I like to determine runtime what Registry configuration I like to use. Scanning and loading multiple assemblies with registries.
Seems it's not working for the actual implementation (Getting the 202, default instance not found), but a stripped test version does work. The following setup.
Two assemblies containing Registries and implementations
Scanning them in running AppDomain, providing the shared Interface, and requesting Creation Of Instance, using the interfaces in constructor (which get dealt with thanx to the profile on Invokation)
Working code sample below (same structure for other setup, but with more complex stuff, that get's a 202):
What type of couses are possible for a 202, specifically naming the System.Uri type, not being handles by a default type?? (uri makes no sense)
// let structure map create instance of class tester, that provides the registered
// interfaces in the registries to the constructor of tester.
public class Tester<TPOCO>
{
private ITestMe<TPOCO> _tester;
public Tester(ITestMe<TPOCO> some)
{
_tester = some;
}
public string Exec()
{
return _tester.Execute();
}
}
public static class Main {
public void ExecuteDIFunction() {
ObjectFactory.GetInstance<Tester<string>>().Exec();
}
}
public class ImplementedTestMe<TSome> : ITestMe<TSome>
{
public string Execute()
{
return "Special Execution";
}
}
public class RegistryForSpecial : Registry
{
public RegistryForSpecial()
{
CreateProfile("Special",
gc =>
{
gc.For(typeof(ITestMe<>)).UseConcreteType(typeof(ImplementedTestMe<>));
});
}
}
Background articles on Profiles I used.
How to setup named instances using StructureMap profiles?
http://devlicio.us/blogs/derik_whittaker/archive/2009/01/07/setting-up-profiles-in-structuremap-2-5.aspx
http://structuremap.sourceforge.net/RegistryDSL.htm
EDIT:
It seemed the missing interface was actually the one being determined runtime. So here is the next challange (and solved):
I provided a default object whenever StructureMap needs to create the object. Like:
x.ForRequestedType<IConnectionContext>()
.TheDefault.Is.Object(new WebServiceConnection());
This way I got rid of the 202 error, because now a real instance could be used whever structure map needed the type.
Next was the override on runtime. That did not work out at first using the ObjectFactory.Configure method. Instead I used the ObjectFactory.Inject method to overide the default instance. Works like a charm.
ObjectFactory.Inject(typeof(IConnectionContext), context);
Loving the community effort.
Error code 202 means a default instance could not be built for the requested type. Your test code is apparently not equal to your real code that fails. If you are getting an error about Uri, you likely have a dependency that requires a Uri in its constructor. It may not be the class you are asking for - it may be one of that classes dependendencies - or one of the dependencies dependencies... somewhere down the line someone is asking StructureMap to resolve a Uri, which it cannot do, without some help from you.
