New Update to the Spring BlazeDS Integration Test Drive

I made some additional changes to the Spring BlazeDS Integration (RC1) Test Drive:

• The Test Drive now includes an annotation-based configuration sample (the Company Manager sample). Spring annotations such as @Service, @RemotingDestination, @Autowired, @RemotingInclude, and @RemotingExclude make it really easy to configure your beans and make them available through Remoting. As an example, here is the source code for the CompanyDAO class:

  package flex.spring.samples.company;
  
  import java.sql.ResultSet;
  import java.sql.SQLException;
  import java.util.HashMap;
  import java.util.List;
  import java.util.Map;
  
  import javax.sql.DataSource;
  
  import org.springframework.flex.remoting.RemotingDestination;
  import org.springframework.flex.remoting.RemotingExclude;
  import org.springframework.flex.remoting.RemotingInclude;
  import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
  import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;
  import org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.ParameterizedRowMapper;
  import org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.SimpleJdbcInsert;
  import org.springframework.jdbc.core.simple.SimpleJdbcTemplate;
  
  import flex.spring.samples.industry.IIndustryDAO;
  
  @Service("companyService")
  @RemotingDestination(channels={"my-amf"})
  public class CompanyDAO implements ICompanyDAO {
  
  	private final SimpleJdbcTemplate template;
  	private final SimpleJdbcInsert insertCompany;
  
  	private IIndustryDAO industryDAO;
  
  	private final ParameterizedRowMapper<Company> rowMapper = new ParameterizedRowMapper<Company>(){
  		public Company mapRow(ResultSet rs, int rowNum) throws SQLException {
  			Company company = new Company();
  			company.setId(rs.getInt("id"));
  			company.setName(rs.getString("name"));
  			company.setAddress(rs.getString("address"));
  			company.setCity(rs.getString("city"));
  			company.setState(rs.getString("state"));
  			company.setZip(rs.getString("zip"));
  			company.setPhone(rs.getString("phone"));
  			company.setIndustry(industryDAO.findById(rs.getInt("industry_id")));
  			return company;
  		}
  	};
  
  	@Autowired
  	public CompanyDAO(DataSource dataSource, IIndustryDAO industryDAO) {
  		template = new SimpleJdbcTemplate(dataSource);
  		insertCompany = new SimpleJdbcInsert(dataSource).withTableName("COMPANY").usingGeneratedKeyColumns("ID");
  		this.industryDAO = industryDAO;
  	}
  
  	@RemotingInclude
  	public Company findById(int id) {
  		return template.queryForObject("SELECT * FROM company WHERE id=?", rowMapper, id);
  	}
  
  	@RemotingInclude
  	public List<Company> findAll() {
  		return template.query("SELECT * FROM company ORDER BY name", rowMapper);
  	}
  
  	@RemotingInclude
  	public List<Company> findByName(String name) {
  		return template.query("SELECT * FROM company WHERE UPPER(name) LIKE ? ORDER BY name",
  				rowMapper,
  				"%" + name.toUpperCase() + "%");
  	}
  
  	@RemotingInclude
  	public Company create(Company company) {
  		Map<String, Object> parameters = new HashMap<String, Object>();
          parameters.put("name", company.getName());
          parameters.put("address", company.getAddress());
          parameters.put("city", company.getCity());
          parameters.put("state", company.getState());
          parameters.put("zip", company.getZip());
          parameters.put("phone", company.getPhone());
          parameters.put("industry_id", company.getIndustry().getId());
          Number id = insertCompany.executeAndReturnKey(parameters);
  		company.setId(id.intValue());
  		return company;
  	}
  
  	@RemotingInclude
  	public boolean update(Company company) {
          int count = template.update("UPDATE company SET name=?, address=?, city=?, state=?, zip=?, phone=?, industry_id=? WHERE id=?",
  				company.getName(),
  				company.getAddress(),
  				company.getCity(),
  				company.getState(),
  				company.getZip(),
  				company.getPhone(),
  				company.getIndustry().getId(),
  				company.getId());
  		return (count == 1);
  	}
  
  	@RemotingExclude
  	public boolean remove(Company company) {
  		int count = template.update("DELETE FROM company WHERE id=?", company.getId());
  		return (count == 1);
  	}
  
  }
  

• The Test Drive is now using the M3 build of Spring 3 (as opposed to M2 in the previous builds of the Test Drive).
• I modified the configuration of the long polling channel to support more persistent connections per domain based on the browser capabilities.
• And of course compared to the M2 build, this version of the Test Drive includes a number of Messaging samples.

  Using the Messaging integration, setting up a destination can be as easy as:

  <flex:message-destination id="chat" />
  

  And here is how you configure a destination mapped to a JMS topic:

  <flex:jms-message-destination id="jms-chat" jms-destination="chatTopic" />
  

Installation Instructions:

1. Download the Spring / Flex TestDrive here: http://coenraets.org/downloads/spring-flex-testdrive-RC1v2.zip
2. Unzip it in your root directory
3. Navigate to /spring-flex-testdrive/tomcat/bin and start Tomcat (for instance: catalina run)
4. Open a browser and access http://localhost:8080
5. Follow the instructions
