Adding State
In the first part of this tutorial we have created a stateless service for simplicity. However, the most common patterns used when developing gCube services are the ones that allow to create stateful service. In this part of the tutorial we will learn how to add a state to the SampleService. We will create a service that recognize a user once it logs on and keeps trace of how many times it accesses the state.
Towards a multi port-type service
To add a state we need firstly to add two new port-types to the SampleService:
- one is dedicated to create a new stateful resource, the so-called Factory service port-type
- the other one is dedicated to access and manage the state, the so-called Service instance port-type
For both, we need to perform the same steps done for the Stateless port-type:
- add the port-types to the profile file
- define the WSDL interface for each port-type
- provide the Java implementation of the two port-types
plus other specific steps that allow to manage stateful services.
Profiling for the infrastructure
The following is the new SERVICE/etc/profile.xml that declares the new two port-types.

Defining the port-type interfaces
WSDL interface for the factory service
Create a new WSDL file, name it Factory.wsdl and place the file in the SERVICE/schema folder.
<definitions name="Factory" targetNamespace="http://acme.org/sample" xmlns:tns="http://acme.org/sample" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:corefaults="http://gcube-system.org/namespaces/common/core/faults" xmlns:wsa="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/addressing" > <import namespace="http://gcube-system.org/namespaces/common/core/faults" location="../gcube/common/core/faults/GCUBEFaults.wsdl"/> <types> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://acme.org/sample"> <xsd:import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/03/addressing" schemaLocation="../ws/addressing/WS-Addressing.xsd" /> <xsd:element name="logon" type="xsd:string" /> <xsd:element name="logonResponse" type="wsa:EndpointReferenceType"/> </xsd:schema> </types> <message name="logonInputMessage"> <part name="request" element="tns:logon"/> </message> <message name="logonOutputMessage"> <part name="response" element="tns:logonResponse"/> </message> <portType name="FactoryPortType"> <operation name="logon"> <input message="tns:logonInputMessage"/> <output message="tns:logonOutputMessage"/> <fault name="fault" message="corefaults:GCUBEFaultMessage"></fault> <fault name="fault" message="corefaults:GCUBEUnrecoverableFaultMessage"></fault> </operation> </portType> </definitions>
Notes:
- the interface imports the WS-Addressing.xsd to make use of the WS-Adressing types' definitions
- the interface exposes one single operation allowing to create a new stateful resource, the logon operation
- the operation takes a string as input parameter
- the operation returns an EndpointReferenceType that points to the stateful resource
WSDL interface for the service instance
Create a new WSDL file, name it Stateful.wsdl and place the file in the SERVICE/schema folder.
<definitions name="Stateful" targetNamespace="http://acme.org/sample" xmlns:tns="http://acme.org/sample" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:coretypes="http://gcube-system.org/namespaces/common/core/types" xmlns:corefaults="http://gcube-system.org/namespaces/common/core/faults"> <import namespace="http://gcube-system.org/namespaces/common/core/faults" location="../gcube/common/core/faults/GCUBEFaults.wsdl"/> <types> <xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://acme.org/sample"> <xsd:import namespace="http://gcube-system.org/namespaces/common/core/types" schemaLocation="../gcube/common/core/types/GCUBETypes.xsd"/> <xsd:element name="aboutSF" type="coretypes:VOID" /> <xsd:element name="aboutSFResponse" type="xsd:string" /> </xsd:schema> </types> <message name="aboutSFInputMessage"> <part name="request" element="tns:aboutSF"/> </message> <message name="aboutSFOutputMessage"> <part name="response" element="tns:aboutSFResponse"/> </message> <portType name="StatefulPortType"> <operation name="aboutSF"> <input message="tns:aboutSFInputMessage"/> <output message="tns:aboutSFOutputMessage"/> <fault name="fault" message="corefaults:GCUBEFaultMessage"></fault> </operation> </portType> </definitions>
Notes:
- the port-type exposes a single operation, the aboutSF operation
- the operation does not take any input, in these cases it must be passed an element coretypes:VOID to avoid SOAP issues
- the operation returns a string
Delving into the implementation
The implementation of the stateful part of the SampleService is a bit more complex than the stateless implementation and requires to code:
- the stateful context,
- the stateful resource,
- the resource home,
- and the two new port-types.
All the new classes implemented in this part will be placed in the new org.acme.sample.stateful
package.
The Stateful Context
We begin by implementing the Stateful Context. This context models the configuration of the acme/sample/stateful port-type as the StatelessContext did for the Stateless port-type. However, it transparently adds a lot of facilities to access the statefulness of the port-type.
package org.acme.sample.stateful; import org.acme.sample.ServiceContext; import org.gcube.common.core.contexts.GCUBEServiceContext; import org.gcube.common.core.contexts.GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext; public class StatefulContext extends GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext { public static String FREQUENT_USER_LIMIT_JNDI_NAME = "frequentUserLimit"; private static GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext cache = new StatefulContext(); @Override public String getJNDIName() {return "acme/sample/stateful";} @Override public String getNamespace() {return "http://acme.org/sample";} @Override public GCUBEServiceContext getServiceContext() { return ServiceContext.getContext(); } public static GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext getPortTypeContext() { return cache; } }
Notes:
- the class extends the
GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext
- the class adopts the singleton pattern as suggested for any context
- the
getJNDIName()
method returns the JNDI name of the port-type - the
getServiceContext()
method connects the port-type to the service context - the
getNamespace()
method returns the namespace of the port-type as defined in the WSDL interface
The Resource
The Resource class is the core of the statefulness. It models the state of a port-type and the way in which it can be accessed and modified. Our Resource will maintain the state in 2 properties:
- the name of the user
- a counter about how many times it accesses the resource
package org.acme.sample.stateful; import org.gcube.common.core.state.GCUBEWSResource; import org.globus.wsrf.ResourceException; public class Resource extends GCUBEWSResource { protected static final String RP_NAME = "Name"; protected static final String RP_VISITS = "Visits"; protected static String[] RPNames = { RP_NAME, RP_VISITS }; @Override protected void initialise(Object... args) throws ResourceException { if (args.length!=1) throw new IllegalArgumentException(); try { String name = (String) args[0]; this.setName(name); this.setVisits(0); } catch (Exception e) { throw new ResourceException(e); } } /** * {@inheritDoc} */ public String[] getPropertyNames() { return RPNames; } /** * Returns the name of the RP stored on this Resource. * * @return the name. */ public String getName() { return (String) this.getResourcePropertySet().get(RP_NAME).get(0); } /** * Returns the number of visits for the user * @return */ public Integer getVisits() { return (Integer) this.getResourcePropertySet().get(RP_VISITS).get(0); } /** * Sets the name of the property. * * @throws Exception */ protected synchronized void setName(String name) throws Exception { this.getResourcePropertySet().get(RP_NAME).clear(); this.getResourcePropertySet().get(RP_NAME).add(name); } /** * Sets the name of the property. * * @throws Exception */ protected synchronized void setVisits(Integer visits) throws Exception { this.getResourcePropertySet().get(RP_VISITS).clear(); this.getResourcePropertySet().get(RP_VISITS).add(visits); } }
Notes:
- the class overrides the
initialise()
method to perform a custom initialisation of the properties - the two properties are not maintained as private members of the class, they are transparently managed by the superclass in a
GCUBEWSResourcePropertySet
instance. In order to do that the class:- declares the name of the two properties
- overrides the
getPropertyNames()
method to return the property names
- the getters and setters implementation of the properties reflects the
GCUBEWSResourcePropertySet
management of such properties
The Resource Home
The implementation of the Resource Home is very simple, since most of the work is performed by the superclass behind the scene. All it is needed is to override a method to connect the Home to the port-type context.
package org.acme.sample.stateful; import org.gcube.common.core.contexts.GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext; import org.gcube.common.core.state.GCUBEWSHome; public class Home extends GCUBEWSHome { @Override public GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext getPortTypeContext() { return StatefulContext.getPortTypeContext(); } }
Notes:
- the class extends the
GCUBEWSHome
class - the
getPortTypeContext()
method connects the class to the stateful port-type
The Service instance port-type
The Service
class provides an implementation of the Service instance port-type defined in the WSDL interface.
package org.acme.sample.stateful; import org.acme.sample.ServiceContext; import org.gcube.common.core.contexts.GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext; import org.gcube.common.core.contexts.GHNContext; import org.gcube.common.core.faults.GCUBEFault; import org.gcube.common.core.faults.GCUBEUnrecoverableException; import org.gcube.common.core.types.VOID; import org.globus.wsrf.ResourceException; public class Service { public String aboutSF(VOID voidType) throws GCUBEFault { StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(); GHNContext nctx = GHNContext.getContext(); ServiceContext sctx = ServiceContext.getContext(); GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext pctx = StatefulContext.getPortTypeContext(); try { final Resource resource = this.getResource(); resource.setVisits(resource.getVisits() + 1); output.append("Hello " + resource.getName()).append(", you have invoked porttype "). append(pctx.getName() + " \nof service " + sctx.getName()). append(", \nwhich you found at "). append(pctx.getEPR() + "in the gCube infrastructure " + nctx.getGHN().getInfrastructure()). append( " \nand you are in the Scope " + sctx.getScope()). append(" \nThis is your invocation N." + resource.getVisits() + "\n"); if (resource.getVisits() >= (Integer)pctx.getProperty(StatefulContext.FREQUENT_USER_LIMIT_JNDI_NAME, true)) { output.append("welcome in the frequent user club!"); } } catch (Exception e) { throw new GCUBEUnrecoverableException(e).toFault(); } return output.toString(); } /** * * @return the stateful resource * @throws ResourceException if no resource was found in the current context */ private Resource getResource() throws ResourceException { return (Resource) StatefulContext.getPortTypeContext().getWSHome().find(); } }
Notes:
- the class implements the aboutSF operation in the
aboutSF()
method - the method retrieves various contexts to use when producing the output string
- the most interesting part of the class is the
getResource()
method demonstrating the way to access from the stateful context the actualResource
instance
The Factory port-type
The Factory
class provides an implementation of the Factory port-type defined in the WSDL interface.
package org.acme.sample.stateful; import org.apache.axis.message.addressing.EndpointReferenceType; import org.gcube.common.core.contexts.GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext; import org.gcube.common.core.faults.GCUBEFault; import org.gcube.common.core.faults.GCUBEUnrecoverableException; public class Factory { public EndpointReferenceType logon(String name) throws GCUBEFault { //create/reuse the resource try { GCUBEStatefulPortTypeContext ptcxt = StatefulContext.getPortTypeContext(); return ptcxt.getWSHome().create(ptcxt.makeKey(name), name).getEPR(); } catch (Exception e) { throw new GCUBEUnrecoverableException(e).toFault(); } } }
Notes:
- the class implements the logon operation in the
logon
method - the method retrieves the Stateful context and from it retrieves also the
Home
instance - by invoking the
create
method, the stateful resource is created with the given key (first input parameter) and with the given list of parameters (only thename
variable here). The list is then passed to theinitialise()
method of theResource
instance - the
makeKey()
method of theStatefulContext
instance creates a newGCUBEWSResourceKey
- the
getEPR()
method of theResource
instance return the EndPointReference to use to access the new state from clients
JNDI configuration
The SERVICE/etc/deploy-jndi-config.xml file must be modified in order to add the configuration of the stateful port-type. With respect to the Stateless configuration a stateful configuration has to declare the "home" resource that instructs gCore about how to create a new stateful resource.
This configuration is automatically loaded by the gCore in the StatefulContext
instance from which the configuration can be accessed programmatically.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jndiConfig xmlns="http://wsrf.globus.org/jndi/config"> <service name="acme/sample"> <environment name="profile" value="@config.dir@/profile.xml" type="java.lang.String" override="false" /> <environment name="displayServiceProfile" value="true" type="java.lang.Boolean" override="false" /> <environment name="displayNodeProfile" value="true" type="java.lang.Boolean" override="false" /> </service> <service name="acme/sample/stateless"> <environment name="name" value="StatelessPortType" type="java.lang.String" override="false" /> </service> <service name="acme/sample/stateful"> <environment name="name" value="StatefulPortType" type="java.lang.String" override="false" /> <resource name="home" type="org.acme.sample.stateful.Home"> <resourceParams> <parameter> <name>factory</name> <value>org.globus.wsrf.jndi.BeanFactory</value> </parameter> <parameter> <name>resourceClass</name> <value>org.acme.sample.stateful.Resource</value> </parameter> </resourceParams> </resource> <environment name="frequentUserLimit" value="3" type="java.lang.Integer" override="false" /> </service> </jndiConfig>

Building & Deploying
Towards Deployment: the WSDD descriptor
The two new port-types have to be declared in the deployment descriptor as follows.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <deployment name="defaultServerConfig" xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/" xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <service name="acme/sample/stateless" provider="Handler" use="literal" style="document"> <parameter name="className" value="org.acme.sample.stateless.Stateless"/> <wsdlFile>share/schema/SampleService/Stateless_service.wsdl</wsdlFile> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <parameter name="handlerClass" value="org.globus.axis.providers.RPCProvider"/> <parameter name="scope" value="Application"/> <parameter name="loadOnStartup" value="true"/> <parameter name="securityDescriptor" value="@config.dir@/security_descriptor.xml"/> </service> <service name="acme/sample/stateful" provider="Handler" use="literal" style="document"> <parameter name="className" value="org.acme.sample.stateful.Service"/> <wsdlFile>share/schema/SampleService/Stateful_service.wsdl</wsdlFile> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <parameter name="handlerClass" value="org.globus.axis.providers.RPCProvider"/> <parameter name="scope" value="Application"/> <parameter name="providers" value="GCUBEProvider"/> <parameter name="loadOnStartup" value="true"/> <parameter name="securityDescriptor" value="@config.dir@/security_descriptor.xml"/> </service> <service name="acme/sample/factory" provider="Handler" use="literal" style="document"> <parameter name="className" value="org.acme.sample.stateful.Factory"/> <wsdlFile>share/schema/SampleService/Factory_service.wsdl</wsdlFile> <parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*"/> <parameter name="handlerClass" value="org.globus.axis.providers.RPCProvider"/> <parameter name="scope" value="Application"/> <parameter name="loadOnStartup" value="true"/> <parameter name="securityDescriptor" value="@config.dir@/security_descriptor.xml"/> </service> </deployment>
Configuring the build process
The build.properties file has now to declare the two new port-types to build.
package = org.acme.sample lib.dir = Dependencies/SampleService wsdl.1 = Stateless wsdl.2 = Stateful wsdl.3 = Factory namespace.1=http://acme.org/sample
Building the stubs and the service
The building process does not change. The same steps seen in the Stateless part of the tutorial have to be performed for building the stubs and the service.
(Un)Deploying the service
The (un)deploying process does not change. The same steps seen in the Stateless part of the tutorial have to be performed for deploying the service.
