I was wondering how I could implement the simple factory pattern with Spring 3 annotations. I saw in the documentation that you can create beans that call the factory class and run a factory method. I was wondering if this was possible using annotations only.
I have a controller that currently calls
MyService myService = myServiceFactory.getMyService(test);
result = myService.checkStatus();
MyService is an interface with one method called checkStatus().
My factory class looks like this:
@Component
public class MyServiceFactory {
public static MyService getMyService(String service) {
MyService myService;
service = service.toLowerCase();
if (service.equals("one")) {
myService = new MyServiceOne();
} else if (service.equals("two")) {
myService = new MyServiceTwo();
} else if (service.equals("three")) {
myService = new MyServiceThree();
} else {
myService = new MyServiceDefault();
}
return myService;
}
}
MyServiceOne class looks like this :
@Autowired
private LocationService locationService;
public boolean checkStatus() {
//do stuff
}
When I run this code the locationService variable is alwasy null. I beleive this is because I am creating the objects myself inside the factory and autowiring is not taking place. Is there a way to add annotations to make this work correctly?
Thanks
You are right, by creating object manually you are not letting Spring to perform autowiring. Consider managing your services by Spring as well:
@Component
public class MyServiceFactory {
@Autowired
private MyServiceOne myServiceOne;
@Autowired
private MyServiceTwo myServiceTwo;
@Autowired
private MyServiceThree myServiceThree;
@Autowired
private MyServiceDefault myServiceDefault;
public static MyService getMyService(String service) {
service = service.toLowerCase();
if (service.equals("one")) {
return myServiceOne;
} else if (service.equals("two")) {
return myServiceTwo;
} else if (service.equals("three")) {
return myServiceThree;
} else {
return myServiceDefault;
}
}
}
But I would consider the overall design to be rather poor. Wouldn't it better to have one general MyService implementation and pass one/two/three string as extra parameter to checkStatus()? What do you want to achieve?
@Component
public class MyServiceAdapter implements MyService {
@Autowired
private MyServiceOne myServiceOne;
@Autowired
private MyServiceTwo myServiceTwo;
@Autowired
private MyServiceThree myServiceThree;
@Autowired
private MyServiceDefault myServiceDefault;
public boolean checkStatus(String service) {
service = service.toLowerCase();
if (service.equals("one")) {
return myServiceOne.checkStatus();
} else if (service.equals("two")) {
return myServiceTwo.checkStatus();
} else if (service.equals("three")) {
return myServiceThree.checkStatus();
} else {
return myServiceDefault.checkStatus();
}
}
}
This is still poorly designed because adding new MyService implementation requires MyServiceAdapter modification as well (SRP violation). But this is actually a good starting point (hint: map and Strategy pattern).
The following worked for me:
The interface consist of you logic methods plus additional identity method:
public interface MyService {
String getType();
void checkStatus();
}
Some implementations:
@Component
public class MyServiceOne implements MyService {
@Override
public String getType() {
return "one";
}
@Override
public void checkStatus() {
// Your code
}
}
@Component
public class MyServiceTwo implements MyService {
@Override
public String getType() {
return "two";
}
@Override
public void checkStatus() {
// Your code
}
}
@Component
public class MyServiceThree implements MyService {
@Override
public String getType() {
return "three";
}
@Override
public void checkStatus() {
// Your code
}
}
And the factory itself as following:
@Service
public class MyServiceFactory {
@Autowired
private List<MyService> services;
private static final Map<String, MyService> myServiceCache = new HashMap<>();
@PostConstruct
public void initMyServiceCache() {
for(MyService service : services) {
myServiceCache.put(service.getType(), service);
}
}
public static MyService getService(String type) {
MyService service = myServiceCache.get(type);
if(service == null) throw new RuntimeException("Unknown service type: " + type);
return service;
}
}
I've found such implementation easier, cleaner and much more extensible. Adding new MyService is as easy as creating another spring bean implementing same interface without making any changes in other places.
Why not add the interface FactoryBean to MyServiceFactory (to tell Spring that it's a factory), add a register(String service, MyService instance) then, have each of the services call:
@Autowired
MyServiceFactory serviceFactory;
@PostConstruct
public void postConstruct() {
serviceFactory.register(myName, this);
}
This way, you can separate each service provider into modules if necessary, and Spring will automagically pick up any deployed and available service providers.
You can manually ask Spring to Autowire it.
Have your factory implement ApplicationContextAware. Then provide the following implementation in your factory:
@Override
public void setApplicationContext(final ApplicationContext applicationContext {
this.applicationContext = applicationContext;
}
and then do the following after creating your bean:
YourBean bean = new YourBean();
applicationContext.getAutowireCapableBeanFactory().autowireBean(bean);
bean.init(); //If it has an init() method.
This will autowire your LocationService perfectly fine.
You could also declaratively define a bean of type ServiceLocatorFactoryBean that will act as a Factory class. it supported by Spring 3.
A FactoryBean implementation that takes an interface which must have one or more methods with the signatures (typically, MyService getService() or MyService getService(String id)) and creates a dynamic proxy which implements that interface
Here's an example of implementing the Factory pattern using Spring
Following answer of DruidKuma
Litte refactor of his factory with autowired constructor:
@Service
public class MyServiceFactory {
private static final Map<String, MyService> myServiceCache = new HashMap<>();
@Autowired
public MyServiceFactory(List<MyService> services) {
for(MyService service : services) {
myServiceCache.put(service.getType(), service);
}
}
public static MyService getService(String type) {
MyService service = myServiceCache.get(type);
if(service == null) throw new RuntimeException("Unknown service type: " + type);
return service;
}
}
I suppose you to use org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ServiceLocatorFactoryBean. It will much simplify your code. Except MyServiceAdapter u can only create interface MyServiceAdapter with method MyService getMyService and with alies to register your classes
Code
bean id="printStrategyFactory" class="org.springframework.beans.factory.config.ServiceLocatorFactoryBean">
<property name="YourInterface" value="factory.MyServiceAdapter" />
</bean>
<alias name="myServiceOne" alias="one" />
<alias name="myServiceTwo" alias="two" />
You could instantiate "AnnotationConfigApplicationContext" by passing all your service classes as parameters.
@Component
public class MyServiceFactory {
private ApplicationContext applicationContext;
public MyServiceFactory() {
applicationContext = new AnnotationConfigApplicationContext(
MyServiceOne.class,
MyServiceTwo.class,
MyServiceThree.class,
MyServiceDefault.class,
LocationService.class
);
/* I have added LocationService.class because this component is also autowired */
}
public MyService getMyService(String service) {
if ("one".equalsIgnoreCase(service)) {
return applicationContext.getBean(MyServiceOne.class);
}
if ("two".equalsIgnoreCase(service)) {
return applicationContext.getBean(MyServiceTwo.class);
}
if ("three".equalsIgnoreCase(service)) {
return applicationContext.getBean(MyServiceThree.class);
}
return applicationContext.getBean(MyServiceDefault.class);
}
}
Based on solution by Pavel Černý here we can make an universal typed implementation of this pattern. To to it, we need to introduce NamedService interface:
public interface NamedService {
String name();
}
and add abstract class:
public abstract class AbstractFactory<T extends NamedService> {
private final Map<String, T> map;
protected AbstractFactory(List<T> list) {
this.map = list
.stream()
.collect(Collectors.toMap(NamedService::name, Function.identity()));
}
/**
* Factory method for getting an appropriate implementation of a service
* @param name name of service impl.
* @return concrete service impl.
*/
public T getInstance(@NonNull final String name) {
T t = map.get(name);
if(t == null)
throw new RuntimeException("Unknown service name: " + name);
return t;
}
}
Then we create a concrete factory of specific objects like MyService:
public interface MyService extends NamedService {
String name();
void doJob();
}
@Component
public class MyServiceFactory extends AbstractFactory<MyService> {
@Autowired
protected MyServiceFactory(List<MyService> list) {
super(list);
}
}
where List the list of implementations of MyService interface at compile time.
This approach works fine if you have multiple similar factories across app that produce objects by name (if producing objects by a name suffice you business logic of course). Here map works good with String as a key, and holds all the existing implementations of your services.
if you have different logic for producing objects, this additional logic can be moved to some another place and work in combination with these factories (that get objects by name).
Try this:
public interface MyService {
//Code
}
@Component("One")
public class MyServiceOne implements MyService {
//Code
}
@Component("Two")
public class MyServiceTwo implements MyService {
//Code
}
