Spring Boot SOAP Service with Hibernate Example

1. Introduction

Java Persistence API (JPA) is Java’s standard API specification for object-relational mapping. Hibernate is a JPA provider and provides a framework for mapping an object-oriented domain model to a relational database. Spring Boot defines a list of starter projects, in which each project includes a set of default component dependencies and an automatic configuration of components. The Spring Web Service starter project enables developers to write the contract-first SOAP service easily.

In this example, I will create a SOAP service with Hibernate in a Spring Boot application.

2. Technologies Used

The example code in this article was built and run using:

• Java 1.8.101
• Maven 3.3.9
• Eclipse Oxygen
• Spring Boot 1.5.16
• Hibernate 5.0.12.Final
• H2 1.4.197

3. Maven Project

Spring Boot Starters provides more than 30 starters to ease the dependency management for your projects. The easiest way to generate a Spring Boot Web Service with Hibernate via Spring Initializer:

1. Go to https://start.spring.io/.
2. Select Maven Project with Java and Spring Boot version 1.5.16. Add JPA, Web Services, and H2 in the “search for dependencies” section.
3. Enter the group name: jcg.zheng.demo and artifact: spring-boot-soap-hibernate.
4. Click the Generate Project button.

A maven project will be generated and downloaded to your workstation. Import it into your Eclipse workspace.

3.1 Dependencies

The generated pom.xml includes H2, spring-boot-starter-data-jpa, spring-boot-starter-web-services, and spring-boot-starter-test. I will include wsdl4j and maven-jaxb2-plugin.

3.2 Spring Boot Application

In this step, I will modify the generated Spring Boot application to include a step to save test data.

SpringBootSoapHibernateApplication.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate;

import java.util.Random;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.context.ConfigurableApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableAsync;

import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.entity.Employee;
import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.repository.EmployeeRepository;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeType;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableAsync
public class SpringBootSoapHibernateApplication {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		ConfigurableApplicationContext ctx = SpringApplication.run(SpringBootSoapHibernateApplication.class, args);
		EmployeeRepository empRepo = ctx.getBean(EmployeeRepository.class);
		empRepo.save(buildDummyEmployee("John", "Zhang"));
		empRepo.save(buildDummyEmployee("Dan", "Zhao"));
		empRepo.save(buildDummyEmployee("Tom", "Zheng"));
		empRepo.save(buildDummyEmployee("Mary", "Zheng"));
	}

	private static Employee buildDummyEmployee(String firstName, String lastName) {
		Employee emp = new Employee();
		emp.setType(EmployeeType.HOURLY);
		Random rand = new Random();

		emp.setFirstName(firstName);
		emp.setLastName(lastName);
		emp.setDepartment("dummy dept");
		emp.setManagerId("1");

		emp.setHourlyRate(rand.nextInt(100));

		return emp;
	}

}

3.3 Application Properties

In this step, I will include two properties to set the Hibernate SQL logger level to DEBUG. Click here to see the default properties.

applicaiton.properties

logging.level.root=INFO
logging.level.org.hibernate.SQL=DEBUG

spring.jap.generate-ddl=true

4. Employee WSDL

The Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based interface definition language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service. In this step, employee.wsdl is an XML document which describes the EmployeeLookup web service and specifies how to access and use its methods.

employee.wsdl

</wsdl:definitions>

4.1 WSDL Validation

Predic8 provides a free online tool to validate the WSDL file. I used it to validate employee.wsdl. The validation results included reports for TargetNamespace, Message, PortType, Operation, Binding, and Service.

4.2 Generated Java Files

The Maven plug-in, maven-jaxb2-plugin, scans src/main/resource/wsdl/employee.wsdl. Execute mvn clean install to generate the Java stubs under C:\MZheng_Java_workspace\Java Code Geek Examples\spring-boot-soap-hibernate\target\generated-sources\xjc.

No modification needed to the generated files.

5. Employee Service

In this step, I will create a Spring service to look up the employee based on its identifier and transform it to EmployeeInfo.

5.1 Employee Entity

@javax.persistence.Entity annotation defines that a class can be mapped to a table. An entity class must have a field annotated with @Id.

In this step, I will create an Employee entity to map to a T_Employee table.

Employee.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.entity;

import javax.persistence.Column;
import javax.persistence.Entity;
import javax.persistence.EnumType;
import javax.persistence.Enumerated;
import javax.persistence.GeneratedValue;
import javax.persistence.Id;
import javax.persistence.Table;

import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeType;

@Entity
@Table(name = "T_Employee")
public class Employee {
	@Id
	@GeneratedValue
	@Column(name = "Id")
	private Long id;

	@Column(name = "First_Name")
	private String firstName;

	@Column(name = "Last_Name")
	private String lastName;

	@Column(name = "Hourly_Rate")
	private float hourlyRate;

	@Column(name = "Employee_Type")
	@Enumerated(EnumType.STRING)
	private EmployeeType type;
	
	private String department;
	
	private String managerId;

	public Long getId() {
		return id;
	}

	public void setId(Long id) {
		this.id = id;
	}

	public String getFirstName() {
		return firstName;
	}

	public void setFirstName(String firstName) {
		this.firstName = firstName;
	}

	public String getLastName() {
		return lastName;
	}

	public void setLastName(String lastName) {
		this.lastName = lastName;
	}

	public float getHourlyRate() {
		return hourlyRate;
	}

	public void setHourlyRate(float hourlyRate) {
		this.hourlyRate = hourlyRate;
	}

	public EmployeeType getType() {
		return type;
	}

	public void setType(EmployeeType type) {
		this.type = type;
	}

	public String getDepartment() {
		return department;
	}

	public void setDepartment(String department) {
		this.department = department;
	}

	public String getManagerId() {
		return managerId;
	}

	public void setManagerId(String managerId) {
		this.managerId = managerId;
	}

	@Override
	public String toString() {
		return "Employee [id=" + id + ", firstName=" + firstName + ", lastName=" + lastName + ", hourlyRate="
				+ hourlyRate + ", type=" + type + ", department=" + department + ", managerId=" + managerId + "]";
	}

}

5.2 EmployeeTransformer

In this step, I will create an EmployeeTransformer which transforms the Employee entity to the generated EmployeeInfo class.

EmployeeTransformer.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.component;

import java.math.BigDecimal;

import org.springframework.beans.BeanUtils;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Component;

import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.aop.LoggableService;
import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.entity.Employee;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeInfo;

@Component
public class EmployeeTransformer {

	@LoggableService
	public EmployeeInfo convert(Employee emp) {
		EmployeeInfo empInfor = new EmployeeInfo();
		BeanUtils.copyProperties(emp, empInfor);
		empInfor.setHourlyRate(new BigDecimal(emp.getHourlyRate()));
		empInfor.setEid(String.valueOf(emp.getId()));
		return empInfor;
	}

}

5.3 EmployeeRepository

Spring data scans the base package and all its sub-packages for any interfaces extending @Repository or one of its sub-interfaces. For each interface found, Spring creates the appropriate bean to handle invocation of the query methods. In this step, I will create an EmployeeRespository interface.

EmployeeRepository.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.repository;

import org.springframework.data.jpa.repository.JpaRepository;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Repository;
import org.springframework.transaction.annotation.Transactional;

import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.entity.Employee;

@Repository
@Transactional
public interface EmployeeRepository extends JpaRepository<Employee, Long> {

}

5.4 EmployeeService

In this step, I will create an EmployeeService which injects EmployeeRepository and EmployeeTransformer to look up an employee and convert it to EmployeeInfo.

EmployeeService.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.component;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.stereotype.Service;

import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.aop.LoggableService;
import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.entity.Employee;
import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.repository.EmployeeRepository;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeInfo;

@Service
public class EmployeeService {

	@Autowired
	private EmployeeRepository empRepo;

	@Autowired
	private EmployeeTransformer convertor;

	@LoggableService
	public EmployeeInfo employeeLookup(String employeeId) {

		Employee employee = empRepo.findOne(Long.parseLong(employeeId));
		if (employee != null) {
			return convertor.convert(employee);
		}

		return null;
	}

}

6. Employee SOAP Service

I will create an EmployeeServiceEndPoint which defines the employeeLookup web method and exposes it as a SOAP service.

6.1 EmployeeServiceEndPoint

In this step, I will create an EmployeeServiceEndPoint annotate it with @Endpoint. I will annotate the web method with @PayloadRoot and @ResponsePayload. It uses the generated Java stubs in step 4.2 and the EmployeeService created in step 5.4.

EmployeeServiceEndPoint.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.soap;

import javax.xml.bind.JAXBElement;

import org.springframework.beans.factory.annotation.Autowired;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.Endpoint;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.PayloadRoot;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.RequestPayload;
import org.springframework.ws.server.endpoint.annotation.ResponsePayload;

import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.aop.LoggableService;
import jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.component.EmployeeService;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeIdWrapper;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeInfo;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.EmployeeInfoWrapper;
import payroll.bestpay.employee.ObjectFactory;

@Endpoint
public class EmployeeServiceEndPoint {

	private static final String NAMESPACE_URI = "http://bestpay.payroll/employee";

	@Autowired
	private EmployeeService empService;

	@PayloadRoot(namespace = NAMESPACE_URI, localPart = "employeeLookupRequest")
	@ResponsePayload
	@LoggableService
	public JAXBElement<EmployeeInfoWrapper> employeeLookup(@RequestPayload JAXBElement<EmployeeIdWrapper> request) {
		ObjectFactory factory = new ObjectFactory();
		EmployeeInfoWrapper response = factory.createEmployeeInfoWrapper();
		for (String empId : request.getValue().getEid()) {
			EmployeeInfo found = empService.employeeLookup(empId);
			if( found != null) {
				response.getEmployeeInfo().add(found);
			} 
		}

		return factory.createEmployeeServiceResponse(response);
	}
}

6.2 SoapServiceConfiguration

In this step, I will create a SoapServiceConfiguration with @EnableWs and configure a SOAP service with employee.wsdl.

SoapServiceConfiguration.java

package jcg.zheng.demo.springbootsoaphibernate.soap;

import org.springframework.boot.web.servlet.ServletRegistrationBean;
import org.springframework.context.ApplicationContext;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Bean;
import org.springframework.context.annotation.Configuration;
import org.springframework.core.io.ClassPathResource;
import org.springframework.ws.config.annotation.EnableWs;
import org.springframework.ws.transport.http.MessageDispatcherServlet;
import org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.SimpleWsdl11Definition;
import org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.Wsdl11Definition;

@EnableWs
@Configuration
public class SoapServiceConfiguration {

	@Bean
	public ServletRegistrationBean messageDispatcherServlet(ApplicationContext applicationContext) {
		MessageDispatcherServlet servlet = new MessageDispatcherServlet();
		servlet.setApplicationContext(applicationContext);

		return new ServletRegistrationBean(servlet, "/soap/ws/*");
	}

	@Bean(name = "employee")
	public Wsdl11Definition employeeWsdl11Definition() {
		SimpleWsdl11Definition wsdl11Definition = new SimpleWsdl11Definition();
		wsdl11Definition.setWsdl(new ClassPathResource("/wsdl/employee.wsdl"));

		return wsdl11Definition;
	}

}

7. Demo
