Distribute Spring Beans in Oracle Coherence

This article shows how to distribute Spring beans by using EntryProcessor and Portable Object Format(POF) features in Oracle Coherence.

Coherence supports a lock-free programming model through the EntryProcessor API. This feature improves system performance by reducing network access and performing an implicit low-level lock on the entries. This implicit low-level locking functionality is different than the explicit lock(key) provided by ConcurrentMap API.

Explicit locking, Transaction Framework API and Coherence Resource Adapter are other Coherence Transaction Options as Entry Processors. For detailed informations about Coherence Transaction Options, please look at the references section. In addition, Distributed Data Management in Oracle Coherence Article can be suggested for the Coherence Explicit locking implementation.

Portable Object Format(POF) is a platform-independent serialization format. It allows to encode equivalent Java, .NET and C++ objects into the identical sequence of bytes. POF is suggested for the system performance since Serialization and Deserialization performances of POF are better than the Standart Java Serialization(According to Coherence Reference document, in a simple test class with a String, a long, and three ints, (de)serialization was seven times faster than the Standart Java Serialization).

Coherence offers many kinds of cache types such as Distributed(or Partitioned), Replicated, Optimistic, Near, Local and Remote Cache. Distributed cache is defined as a collection of data that is distributed (or, partitioned) across any number of cluster nodes such that exactly one node in the cluster is responsible for each piece of data in the cache, and the responsibility is distributed (or, load-balanced) among the cluster nodes. Please note that distributed cache type has been used in this article. Since the other cache-types are not in the scope of this article, please look at the References section or Coherence Reference document. Their configurations are very similar to distributed cache configuration.

How to distribute Spring Beans by using Coherence Article covering Explicit locking – Java Standart Serialization is suggested to compare two different implementations(EntryProcessor – Portable Object Format(POF) and Explicit locking – Java Standart Serialization).

In this article, a new cluster named OTV has been created and a spring bean has been distributed by using a cache object named user-cache. It has been distributed between two members of the cluster.

Let us look at implementation of AbsctractProcessor implementing EntryProcessor Interface and PortableObject Interface for Spring Beans’ distribution between JVMs in a cluster.

Used Technologies :

JDK 1.6.0_31
Spring 3.1.1
Coherence 3.7.0
SolarisOS 5.10
Maven 3.0.2

STEP 1 : CREATE MAVEN PROJECT

A maven project is created as below. (It can be created by using Maven or IDE Plug-in).

STEP 2 : COHERENCE PACKAGE

Coherence is downloaded via Coherence Package

STEP 3 : LIBRARIES

Firstly, Spring dependencies are added to Maven’ s pom.xml. Please note that Coherence library is installed to Local Maven Repository and its description is added to pom.xml as follows. Also if the maven is not used, coherence.jar file can be added to classpath.

 <properties>
  <spring.version>3.1.1.RELEASE</spring.version>
 </properties>

 <dependencies>

  <!-- Spring 3 dependencies -->
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-core</artifactId>
   <version>${spring.version}</version>
  </dependency>
  <dependency>
   <groupId>org.springframework</groupId>
   <artifactId>spring-context</artifactId>
   <version>${spring.version}</version>
  </dependency>

  <!-- Coherence library(from local repository) -->

  <dependency>
   <groupId>log4j</groupId>
   <artifactId>log4j</artifactId>
   <version>1.2.16</version>
  </dependency>

 </dependencies>

The following maven-plugin can be used to create runnable-jar.

 <plugin>
  <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
  <artifactId>maven-shade-plugin</artifactId>
  <version>1.3.1</version>

  <executions>
   <execution>
    <phase>package</phase>
    <goals>
     <goal>shade</goal>
    </goals>
    <configuration>
     <transformers>
      <transformer
       implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.ManifestResourceTransformer">
       <mainClass>com.otv.exe.Application</mainClass>
      </transformer>
      <transformer
       implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">
       <resource>META-INF/spring.handlers</resource>
      </transformer>
      <transformer
       implementation="org.apache.maven.plugins.shade.resource.AppendingTransformer">

      </transformer>
     </transformers>
    </configuration>
   </execution>
  </executions>
 </plugin>

STEP 4 : CREATE otv-pof-config.xml
otv-pof-config.xml covers the classes using Portable Object Format(POF) feature for serialization. In this example; User, UpdateUserProcessor and DeleteUserProcessor classes implement the com.tangosol.io.pof.PortableObject Interface.

-Dtangosol.pof.config argument can be used to define otv-pof-config.xml path in startup script.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE pof-config SYSTEM "pof-config.dtd">
<pof-config>
 <user-type-list>
  <!-- coherence POF user types -->
  <include>coherence-pof-config.xml</include>
  <!-- The definition of classes which use Portable Object Format -->
  <user-type>
   <type-id>1001</type-id>
   <class-name>com.otv.user.User</class-name>
  </user-type>
  <user-type>
   <type-id>1002</type-id>
   <class-name>com.otv.user.processor.UpdateUserProcessor</class-name>
  </user-type>
  <user-type>
   <type-id>1003</type-id>
   <class-name>com.otv.user.processor.DeleteUserProcessor</class-name>
  </user-type>
 </user-type-list>
 <allow-interfaces>true</allow-interfaces>
 <allow-subclasses>true</allow-subclasses>
</pof-config>

STEP 5 : CREATE otv-coherence-cache-config.xml

otv-coherence-cache-config.xml contains caching-schemes(distributed or replicated) and caching-scheme-mapping configuration. Created cache configuration should be added to coherence-cache-config.xml.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<cache-config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-cache-config"
           xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/coherence/coherence-cache-config
                     coherence-cache-config.xsd">

  <cache-mapping>
   <cache-name>user-cache</cache-name>
   <scheme-name>UserDistributedCacheWithPof</scheme-name>
  </cache-mapping>
 </caching-scheme-mapping>

    <caching-schemes>

  <distributed-scheme>
   <scheme-name>UserDistributedCacheWithPof</scheme-name>
   <service-name>UserDistributedCacheWithPof</service-name>

      </init-param>
     </init-params>
    </instance>
   </serializer>
   <backing-map-scheme>
    <local-scheme />
   </backing-map-scheme>
   <autostart>true</autostart>
  </distributed-scheme>
 </caching-schemes>

</cache-config>

STEP 6 : CREATE tangosol-coherence-override.xml

tangosol-coherence-override.xml covers cluster, member-identity and configurable-cache-factory configuration. Also the following configuration xml file shows first member of the cluster. -Dtangosol.coherence.override argument can be used to define tangosol-coherence-override.xml path in startup script.

tangosol-coherence-override.xml for first member of the cluster :

<?xml version='1.0'?>

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

         </init-param>
      </init-params>
   </configurable-cache-factory-config>

</coherence>

STEP 7 : CREATE applicationContext.xml

applicationContext.xml is created.

<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-3.0.xsd">

 <!-- Beans Declaration -->
 <bean id="User" class="com.otv.user.User" scope="prototype" />
    <bean id="UserCacheService" class="com.otv.user.cache.srv.UserCacheService" />
    <bean id="CacheUpdaterTask" class="com.otv.cache.updater.task.CacheUpdaterTask">
     <property name="userCacheService" ref="UserCacheService" />
    </bean>
</beans>

STEP 8 : CREATE SystemConstants CLASS

SystemConstants Class is created. This class covers all system constants.

package com.otv.common;

/**
 * System Constants
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class SystemConstants {

 public static final String APPLICATION_CONTEXT_FILE_NAME = "applicationContext.xml";

 //Named Cache Definition...
 public static final String USER_CACHE = "user-cache";

 //Bean Names...
 public static final String BEAN_NAME_CACHE_UPDATER_TASK = "CacheUpdaterTask";
 public static final String BEAN_NAME_USER = "User";

}

STEP 9 : CREATE User BEAN

A new User Spring bean is created. This bean will be distributed between two nodes in OTV cluster. PortableObject can be implemented for the serialization. PortableObject Interface has got two unimplemented methods as readExternal and writeExternal. The properties which are only serialized, must be defined. In this example, all the properties(id, name and surname of User) are serialized.

package com.otv.user;

import java.io.IOException;

import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofReader;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofWriter;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PortableObject;

/**
 * User Bean
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class User implements PortableObject {

 private String id;
 private String name;
 private String surname;

 /**
     * Gets User Id
     *
     * @return String id
     */
 public String getId() {
  return id;
 }

 /**
     * Sets User Id
     *
     * @param String id
     */
 public void setId(String id) {
  this.id = id;
 }

 /**
     * Gets User Name
     *
     * @return String name
     */
 public String getName() {
  return name;
 }

 /**
     * Sets User Name
     *
     * @param String name
     */
 public void setName(String name) {
  this.name = name;
 }

 /**
     * Gets User Surname
     *
     * @return String surname
     */
 public String getSurname() {
  return surname;
 }

 /**
     * Sets User Surname
     *
     * @param String surname
     */
 public void setSurname(String surname) {
  this.surname = surname;
 }

 @Override
 public String toString() {
  StringBuilder strBuilder = new StringBuilder();
  strBuilder.append("Id : ").append(id);
  strBuilder.append(", Name : ").append(name);
  strBuilder.append(", Surname : ").append(surname);
  return strBuilder.toString();
 }

 /**
  * Restore the contents of a user type instance by reading its state
  * using the specified PofReader object.
  *
  * @param PofReader in
  */
 public void readExternal(PofReader in) throws IOException {
  this.id = in.readString(0);
  this.name = in.readString(1);
  this.surname = in.readString(2);
 }

 /**
  * Save the contents of a POF user type instance by writing its state
  * using the specified PofWriter object.
  *
  * @param PofWriter out
  */
 public void writeExternal(PofWriter out) throws IOException {
  out.writeString(0, id);
  out.writeString(1, name);
  out.writeString(2, surname);
 }
}

STEP 10 : CREATE IUserCacheService INTERFACE

A new IUserCacheService Interface is created to perform cache operations.

package com.otv.user.cache.srv;

import com.otv.user.User;
import com.otv.user.processor.DeleteUserProcessor;
import com.otv.user.processor.UpdateUserProcessor;
import com.tangosol.net.NamedCache;

/**
 * User Cache Service Interface
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public interface IUserCacheService {

 /**
     * Gets Distributed User Cache
     *
     * @return NamedCache User Cache
     */
 NamedCache getUserCache();

 /**
     * Adds user to cache
     *
     * @param User user
     */
 void addUser(User user);

 /**
     * Updates user on the cache
     *
     * @param String userId
     * @param UpdateUserProcessor processor
     *
     */
 void updateUser(String userId, UpdateUserProcessor processor);

 /**
     * Deletes user from the cache
     *
     * @param String userId
     * @param DeleteUserProcessor processor
     *
     */
 void deleteUser(String userId, DeleteUserProcessor processor);

}

STEP 11 : CREATE UserCacheService CLASS

UserCacheService Class is created by implementing IUserCacheService Interface.

package com.otv.user.cache.srv;

import com.otv.cache.listener.UserMapListener;
import com.otv.common.SystemConstants;
import com.otv.user.User;
import com.otv.user.processor.DeleteUserProcessor;
import com.otv.user.processor.UpdateUserProcessor;
import com.tangosol.net.CacheFactory;
import com.tangosol.net.NamedCache;

/**
 * User Cache Service
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class UserCacheService implements IUserCacheService {

 private NamedCache userCache = null; 

 public UserCacheService() {
  setUserCache(CacheFactory.getCache(SystemConstants.USER_CACHE));
  //UserMap Listener is registered to listen user-cache operations
  getUserCache().addMapListener(new UserMapListener());
 } 

 /**
     * Adds user to cache
     *
     * @param User user
     */
 public void addUser(User user) {
  getUserCache().put(user.getId(), user);
 }

 /**
     * Deletes user from the cache
     *
     * @param String userId
     * @param DeleteUserProcessor processor
     *
     */
 public void deleteUser(String userId, DeleteUserProcessor processor) {
  getUserCache().invoke(userId, processor);
 }

 /**
     * Updates user on the cache
     *
     * @param String userId
     * @param UpdateUserProcessor processor
     *
     */
 public void updateUser(String userId, UpdateUserProcessor processor) {
  getUserCache().invoke(userId, processor);
 }

 /**
     * Gets Distributed User Cache
     *
     * @return NamedCache User Cache
     */
 public NamedCache getUserCache() {
  return userCache;
 }

 /**
     * Sets User Cache
     *
     * @param NamedCache userCache
     */
 public void setUserCache(NamedCache userCache) {
  this.userCache = userCache;
 }
}

STEP 12 : CREATE USERMAPLISTENER CLASS

A new UserMapListener class is created. This listener receives distributed user-cache events.

package com.otv.cache.listener;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import com.tangosol.util.MapEvent;
import com.tangosol.util.MapListener;

/**
 * User Map Listener
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class UserMapListener implements MapListener {

 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(UserMapListener.class);

 /**
     * This method is invoked when an entry is deleted from the cache...
     *
     * @param MapEvent me
     */
 public void entryDeleted(MapEvent me) {
   logger.debug("Deleted Key = " + me.getKey() + ", Value = " + me.getOldValue());
 }

 /**
     * This method is invoked when an entry is inserted to the cache...
     *
     * @param MapEvent me
     */
 public void entryInserted(MapEvent me) {
  logger.debug("Inserted Key = " + me.getKey() + ", Value = " + me.getNewValue());
 }

 /**
     * This method is invoked when an entry is updated on the cache...
     *
     * @param MapEvent me
     */
 public void entryUpdated(MapEvent me) {
  logger.debug("Updated Key = " + me.getKey() + ", New_Value = " + me.getNewValue() + ", Old Value = " + me.getOldValue());
 }
}

STEP 13 : CREATE UpdateUserProcessor CLASS

AbstractProcessor is an abstract class under package com.tangosol.util.processor. It implements EntryProcessor Interface.

UpdateUserProcessor Class is created to process User Update operation on the cache. When UpdateUserProcessor is invoked for a key, firstly the member containing the key is found in the cluster. After then, UpdateUserProcessor is invoked from the member which contains the related key and its value(User object) is updated. Therefore, network traffic is reduced.

package com.otv.user.processor;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import com.otv.user.User;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofReader;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofWriter;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PortableObject;
import com.tangosol.util.InvocableMap.Entry;
import com.tangosol.util.processor.AbstractProcessor;

/**
 * Update User Processor
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class UpdateUserProcessor extends AbstractProcessor implements PortableObject { 

 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(UpdateUserProcessor.class);
 private User newUser;

 /**
     * This empty constructor is added for Portable Object Format(POF).
     *
     */
 public UpdateUserProcessor() {

 }

 public UpdateUserProcessor(User newUser) {
  this.newUser = newUser;
 }

 /**
     * Processes a Map.Entry object.
     *
     * @param Entry entry
     * @return Object newUser
     */
 public Object process(Entry entry) {
  Object newValue = null;
  try {
   newValue = getNewUser();
   entry.setValue(newValue);
      } catch (Exception e) {
       logger.error("Error occured when entry was being processed!", e);
  }

  return newValue;
 }

 /**
     * Gets new user
     *
     * @return User newUser
     */
 public User getNewUser() {
  return newUser;
 }

 /**
     * Sets new user
     *
     * @param User newUser
     */
 public void setNewUser(User newUser) {
  this.newUser = newUser;
 }

 /**
  * Restore the contents of a user type instance by reading its state
  * using the specified PofReader object.
  *
  * @param PofReader in
  */
 public void readExternal(PofReader in) throws IOException {
  setNewUser((User) in.readObject(0));
 }

 /**
  * Save the contents of a POF user type instance by writing its state
  * using the specified PofWriter object.
  *
  * @param PofWriter out
  */
 public void writeExternal(PofWriter out) throws IOException {
  out.writeObject(0, getNewUser());
 }
}

STEP 14 : CREATE DeleteUserProcessor CLASS

DeleteUserProcessor Class is created to process User Deletion operation on the cache. When DeleteUserProcessor is invoked for a key, firstly the member containing the key is found in the cluster. After then, DeleteUserProcessor is invoked from the member which contains the related key. Therefore, network traffic is reduced.

package com.otv.user.processor;

import java.io.IOException;

import org.apache.log4j.Logger;

import com.otv.user.User;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofReader;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PofWriter;
import com.tangosol.io.pof.PortableObject;
import com.tangosol.util.InvocableMap.Entry;
import com.tangosol.util.processor.AbstractProcessor;

/**
 * Delete User Processor
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class DeleteUserProcessor extends AbstractProcessor implements PortableObject { 

 private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(DeleteUserProcessor.class);

 /**
     * Processes a Map.Entry object.
     *
     * @param Entry entry
     * @return Object user
     */
 public Object process(Entry entry) {
  User user = null;
  try {
   user = (User) entry.getValue();
   entry.remove(true);
      } catch (Exception e) {
       logger.error("Error occured when entry was being processed!", e);
  }

  return user;
 }

 /**
  * Restore the contents of a user type instance by reading its state
  * using the specified PofReader object.
  *
  * @param PofReader in

STEP 15 : CREATE CacheUpdaterTask CLASS

CacheUpdaterTask Class is created to perform cache operations(add, update and delete) and monitor cache content.

package com.otv.cache.updater.task;

  Thread.sleep(10000);

  //Entry is deleted from cache...
  getUserCacheService().deleteUser(newUser.getId(), new DeleteUserProcessor());

  //Cache Entries are being printed...

  Thread.sleep(15000);

  //Entry is deleted from cache...
  getUserCacheService().deleteUser(newUser.getId(), new DeleteUserProcessor());

  Thread.sleep(15000);
 }

 /**

     * @throws BeansException
     */
 public void setBeanFactory(BeanFactory beanFactory) throws BeansException {
  this.beanFactory = beanFactory;
 }
}

STEP 16 : CREATE Application CLASS

Application Class is created to run the application.

package com.otv.exe;

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

import com.otv.cache.updater.task.CacheUpdaterTask;
import com.otv.common.SystemConstants;

/**
 * Application Class
 *
 * @author  onlinetechvision.com
 * @since   2 Jun 2012
 * @version 1.0.0
 *
 */
public class Application {

 /**
  * Starts the application
  *
  * @param  String[] args
  *
  */
 public static void main(String[] args) {
  ApplicationContext context = new ClassPathXmlApplicationContext(SystemConstants.APPLICATION_CONTEXT_FILE_NAME);

  CacheUpdaterTask cacheUpdaterTask = (CacheUpdaterTask) context.getBean(SystemConstants.BEAN_NAME_CACHE_UPDATER_TASK);
  Thread cacheUpdater = new Thread(cacheUpdaterTask);
  cacheUpdater.start();
 }
}

STEP 17 : BUILD PROJECT

After OTV_Spring_Coherence_With_Processor_and_POF Project is build, OTV_Spring_Coherence-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar will be created.
Please note that the members of the cluster have got different configuration for Coherence so project should be built separately for each member.

STEP 18 : RUN PROJECT ON FIRST MEMBER OF THE CLUSTER

After created OTV_Spring_Coherence-0.0.1-SNAPSHOT.jar file is run at the members of the cluster, the following output logs will be shown on first member’ s console:

--After A new cluster is created and First Member joins the cluster, a new entry is added to the cache.
