Use Conversation Scoped Beans in REST service - jboss7.x

I'm running a CDI based application on JBoss AS 7.1.1 which uses Conversation Scoped Beans.
I need to invoke one of these beans from a RESTeasy Service. Unfortunately when I invoke the Conversation Scoped Bean
#Inject
private ConversationBean service;
#GET
#Produces("text/html")
#Path("/book")
public void bookTicket(Long l) {
service.book(l);
. . . .
}
the following error is returned:
Caused by: org.jboss.weld.context.ContextNotActiveException: WELD-001303 No active contexts for scope type javax.enterprise.context.ConversationScoped
Is there any workaround for this issue ?
Thanks!

I know I've answered this question before (or maybe it was #SessionScoped, same thing really). The Conversation is tied to a Session in CDI. As there are no Sessions in JAX-RS there are no conversations. In the spec section 6.7.4 it states that the Conversation scope is only active during JSF requests.
If you would like to create your own Scope and Context that acts like the conversation one and make it available to JAX-RS requests, that's certainly doable, but you'd have to have some location to store the scope and also associate it with a request.

Spring bean RequestScope with Webflux

Is there a pattern to use #RequestScope with Webflux? We used the approach suggested here (https://www.baeldung.com/spring-bean-scopes) but it gives below error.
No scope registered for scope name request
Request scope works on ThreadLocal which is not supported by Webflux because part of work can be delegated between threads and you cannot assume that request will be handled by one thread.
In such a case, you should take a look at Reactor Context which allows you to connect data with the request scope.

How to use a dynamic URI in From()

As mentioned in Apache Camel, it allows to write dynamic URI in To(), does it allows to write dynamic URI in From().
Cause I need to call the multiple FTP locations to download the files on the basis of configuration which I am going to store it in database.
(FTPHost, FTPUser, FTPPassword, FTPSourceDir, FTPDestDir)
I will read these configuration from the DB and will pass it to the Camel route dynamically at runtime.
Example:
This is the camel route example that I have to write dynamically
<Route>
<from uri="ftp://${ftpUser}#${ftpHost}:${ftpPort}/${FTPSourceDir}?password=${ftpPassword}&delete=true"/>
<to uri="${ftpDestinationDir}"/>
</Route>
As you see in example, I need to pass these mentioned parameters dynamically.
So how to use dynamic uri in From()
You can read it from property file as follows,
<bean id="bridgePropertyPlaceholder" class="org.apache.camel.spring.spi.BridgePropertyPlaceholderConfigurer">
<property name="location" value="classpath:/config/Test.properties"/>
</bean>
<Route>
<from uri="ftp://{{ftpUser})#${{ftpHost}}:{{ftpPort}}/${{FTPSourceDir}}?password={{ftpPassword}}&delete=true"/>
<to uri="{{ftpDestinationDir}}"/>
</Route>
ftpUser, ftpHost.... - all are keys declared in Test.properties
If you want to get those variables from your exchange dynamically, you cannot do it in regular way as you mentioned in your example. You have to use consumer template as follows,
Exchange exchange = consumerTemplate.receive("ftp:"+url);
producerTemplate.send("direct:uploadFileFTP",exchange );
You have to do that from a spring bean or camel producer. Consumer template will consume from given component, and that producer template will invoke direct component declared in your camel-context.xml
Note: Consumer and Producer templates are bit costly. you can inject both in spring container and let the spring handle the life cycle.
From camel 2.16 on-wards, we can use pollenrich component to define polling consumer like file, ftp..etc with dynamic url/parameter value like below
<route>
<from uri="direct:start"/>
<pollEnrich>
<simple>file:inbox?fileName=${body.fileName}</simple>
</pollEnrich>
<to uri="direct:result"/>
</route>
Its awesomeeee!!!
Refer: http://camel.apache.org/content-enricher.html
I help a team who operates a message broker switching about a million message per day. There are over 50 destinations from which we have to poll files over all file sharing brands (FTP, SFTP, NFS/file: ...). Maintaining up to 50 deployments that each listen to a different local/remote directory is indeed an overhead compared with a single FILE connector capable of polling files at the 50 places according to the specific schedule and security settings of each... Same story for getting e-mail from pop3 and IMAP mailboxes.
In Camel, the outline of a solution is as follows:
you have no choice but use the java DSL to configure at least the from() part of your routes with an URI that you can indeed read/build from a database or get from an admin request to initiate a new route. The XML DSL only allows injecting properties that are resolved once when the Camel context is built and never again afterwards.
the basic idea is to start routes, let them run (listen or poll a precise resource), and then shutdown & rebuild them on demand using the Camel context APIs to manage the state of RouteDefinitions, Routes, and possibly Endpoints
personally, I like to implement such dynamic from() instantiation on minimalist routes with just the 'from' part of the route, i.e. from(uri).to("direct:inboundQueue").routeId("myRoute"), and then define - in java or XML - a common route chunk that handles the rest of the process: from("direct:inboundQueue").process(..).etc... .to(outUri)
I'll advise strongly to combine Camel with the Spring framework, and in particular Spring MVC (or Spring Integration HttpGateway) so that you will enjoy the ability to quickly build REST, SOAP, HTTP/JSP, or JMX bean interfaces to administer route creation, destruction, and updates within a Spring + Camel container, both nicely integrated.
You can then declare in the Spring application context a bean that extends SpringRouteBuilder, as usual when building Camel routes with the java DSL in Spring; in the compulsory #Override configure() method implementation, you shall save your routeDefinition object built by the from(uri) method, and assign it a known String route-id with the .routeId(route-id) method; you may for instance use the route-id as a key in a Map of your route definition objects already created and started, as well as a key in your DB of URI's.
then you extend the SpringRouteBuilder bean you have declared with new methods createRoute(route-id), updateRoute(route-id), and removeRoute(route-id); The associated route-id parameters needed for create or update will be fetched from the database or another registry, and the relevant method, running within the RouteBuilder bean, will take advantage from the getContext() facility to retrieve the current ModelCamelContext, which in turn is used to stopRoute(route-id), removeRoute(route-id), and then addRouteDefinition(here is where you need the routeDefinition object), and finally startRoute(route-id) (Note: beware of possible ghost Endpoints that would not be removed, as explained in the removeRoute() javadoc)
your administrative interface (which typically takes the form of a Spring #Controller component/bean that handles the HTTP/REST/SOAP traffic) will indeed have an easy job to get the previously created SpringRouteBuilder extension Bean injected by Spring in the controller bean, and thus access all the necessary createRoute(route-id), updateRoute(route-id), and removeRoute(route-id) methods that you have added to the SpringRouteBuilder extension Bean.
And that works nicely. The exact implementation with all the error handling and validation code that applies is a bit too much code to be posted here, but you have all the links to relevant "how to's" in the above.
I think you can implement your requirement within a Camel route.
Because you want to poll multiple FTP sites you'll have to somehow trigger this process. Maybe you could do this based on a Quartz2 timer. Once triggered you could read the configured FTP sites from your database.
In order to poll the given FTP sites you can use the Content Enricher pattern to poll (see: pollEnrich) a dynamically evaluated URI.
Your final basic route may look something like this (pseudocode):
from("quarz...")
to("sql...")
pollEnrich("ftp...")
...
Use Camel endpoint with spring spel expression.
Set up a Camel endpoint in the context so it can be accessed from any bean:
<camelContext id="camel" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/spring">
<endpoint id="inventoryQueue" uri="#{config.jms.inventoryQueueFromUri}"/>
</camelContext>
Now you can reference the inventoryQueue endpoint within the `#Consume` annotation as follows:
#org.apache.camel.Consume(ref = "inventoryQueue")
public void updateInventory(Inventory inventory) {
// update
}
Or:
<route>
<from ref="inventoryQueue"/>
<to uri="jms:incomingOrders"/>
</route>

preventing passivation is stateful session bean in glassfish 4

I have a stateful session bean that inject extended entity manager. When I deploy the application for some time, an exception occur indicating that extended Entity manager is not serialized. after some search I found that passivation of the bean might be the cause of this exception.
Is there a way to stop passivation in glassfish (I found that there is an issue but can't find a way)?
Is it right for container to try to serialize entity manager when passivating the sfsb?
Could there be another reason for this exception to occur?
Note: please don't ask about the code it is just a stateful bean with extended entity manager called by an application scope cdi bean.
You must set passivationCapable to false.
passivationCapable Specifies whether this stateful session bean is passivation capable
#Stateful(passivationCapable=false)
public class HelloBean {
private NonSerializableType ref = ...
. . .
}

EJB #Stateless + Seam #Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION) = #Stateful?

Im a new SEAM developer and for sure im really enjoying the platform.
im wondering wether a stateless session bean plus conversation scope has the same semantic by stateful session bean ?
the EJB Client in this context is the seam, right ? so using conversation scope, the ejb bean used by the client ( seam component ) will be the same during the conversation, this way the state will be preserved until the conversation finish.
is it correct ?
No. Stateless session beans always live in the stateless context.
I think Stateless session bean is always in Stateless scope, no way to set to Conversation scope.

lifecycle callbacks for JAX-RS resources?

suppose i have a jax-rs resource class that looks like this:
#Path("/nodes")
public class NodeResource {
//Temp - those injections should work
#EJB
ListNodesLocal nodeList;
//stuff
}
and i want some sort of lifecycle callback so i can manually lookup that field via JNDI because injection isnt working for me yet (using jboss 6 m5. see this issue : https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBAS-8575).
ideally im looking for something like
#PostConstruct
private void init() {
//manual JNDI to come here
}
can i do this somehow ? i've tried javax.annotation.PostConstruct to no avail. is there something that works?
Since you linked to jboss in your question this answer assumes you're using the Resteasy implementation of JAX-RS. You can register interceptors to hook into the lifecycle. See here. That's how I was able to use Shiro annotations to authorize clients who want to invoke my API.
