How to make wss4j to not create expires element in soap header - cxf

Is there any option in wss4j or cxf that controls whether <expires> element from ws-security is included in SOAP header.
What I want to achieve is that SOAP header contains only <created> element, e.g.
<wsu:Timestamp wsu:Id="Timestamp-2" xmlns:wsu="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-utility-1.0.xsd">
<wsu:Created>2011-12-07T14:39:03Z</wsu:Created>
</wsu:Timestamp>
I'm using wss4j 1.5.10 and cxf 2.3.x
Note that xsd schema for timestamp has
<xsd:element ref="wsu:Expires" minOccurs="0"/>

I needed the same thing and wasn't able to find an answer anywhere.
At the end I studied the source and did it extending the WSS4JOutInterceptor and rewriting the method decodeTimeToLive this way:
#Override
public int decodeTimeToLive(RequestData reqData) {
return 0;
}
Maybe not beautiful, but it worked for me.

Spring + AngularJS - the server responded with a status of 406 (Not Acceptable) [duplicate]

this is my javascript:
function getWeather() {
$.getJSON('getTemperature/' + $('.data option:selected').val(), null, function(data) {
alert('Success');
});
}
this is my controller:
#RequestMapping(value="/getTemperature/{id}", headers="Accept=*/*", method = RequestMethod.GET)
#ResponseBody
public Weather getTemparature(#PathVariable("id") Integer id){
Weather weather = weatherService.getCurrentWeather(id);
return weather;
}
spring-servlet.xml
<context:annotation-config />
<tx:annotation-driven />
Getting this error:

Interesting note:
I get 406 error, but the hibernate query works meanwhile.
This is what tomcat log says, everytime when I change selection in dropbox:
select weather0_.ID as ID0_0_, weather0_.CITY_ID as CITY2_0_0_, weather0_.DATE as DATE0_0_, weather0_.TEMP as TEMP0_0_ from WEATHER weather0_ where weather0_.ID=?
What could the problem be? There were two similar questions in SO before, I tried all the accepted hints there, but they did not work I guess...
Any suggestions? Feel free to ask questions...
406 Not Acceptable
The resource identified by the request is only capable of generating response entities which have content characteristics not acceptable according to the accept headers sent in the request.
So, your request accept header is application/json and your controller is not able to return that. This happens when the correct HTTPMessageConverter can not be found to satisfy the #ResponseBody annotated return value. HTTPMessageConverter are automatically registered when you use the <mvc:annotation-driven>, given certain 3-d party libraries in the classpath.
Either you don't have the correct Jackson library in your classpath, or you haven't used the
<mvc:annotation-driven> directive.
I successfully replicated your scenario and it worked fine using these two libraries and no headers="Accept=*/*" directive.
jackson-core-asl-1.7.4.jar
jackson-mapper-asl-1.7.4.jar
I had same issue, with Latest Spring 4.1.1 onwards you need to add following jars to pom.xml.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.4.1.1</version>
</dependency>
also make sure you have following jar:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>

406 Spring MVC Json, not acceptable according to the request "accept" headers
There is another case where this status will be returned: if the Jackson mapper cannot figure out how to serialize your bean. For example, if you have two accessor methods for the same boolean property, isFoo() and getFoo().
What's happening is that Spring's MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter calls Jackson's StdSerializerProvider to see if it can convert your object. At the bottom of the call chain, StdSerializerProvider._createAndCacheUntypedSerializer throws a JsonMappingException with an informative message. However, this exception is swallowed by StdSerializerProvider._createAndCacheUntypedSerializer, which tells Spring that it can't convert the object. Having run out of converters, Spring reports that it's not being given an Accept header that it can use, which of course is bogus when you're giving it */*.
There is a bug for this behavior, but it was closed as "cannot reproduce": the method that's being called doesn't declare that it can throw, so swallowing exceptions is apparently an appropriate solution (yes, that was sarcasm). Unfortunately, Jackson doesn't have any logging ... and there are a lot of comments in the codebase wishing it did, so I suspect this isn't the only hidden gotcha.
I had the same problem, my controller method executes but response is Error 406.
I debug AbstractMessageConverterMethodProcessor#writeWithMessageConverters and found that method ContentNegotiationManager#resolveMediaTypes always returns text/html which is not supported by MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter. The problem is that the org.springframework.web.accept.ServletPathExtensionContentNegotiationStrategy works earlier than org.springframework.web.accept.HeaderContentNegotiationStrategy, and extension of my request /get-clients.html is the cause of my problem with Error 406. I just changed request url to /get-clients.
Make sure that the sent object (Weather in this case) contains getter/setter
Make sure that following 2 jar's are present in class path.
If any one or both are missing then this error will come.
jackson-core-asl-1.9.X.jar jackson-mapper-asl-1.9.X.jar
Finally found answer from here:
Mapping restful ajax requests to spring
I quote:
#RequestBody/#ResponseBody annotations don't use normal view resolvers, they use their own HttpMessageConverters. In order to use these annotations, you should configure these converters in AnnotationMethodHandlerAdapter, as described in the reference (you probably need MappingJacksonHttpMessageConverter).
Check <mvc:annotation-driven /> in dispatcherservlet.xml , if not add it.
And add
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
these dependencies in your pom.xml
Probably no one is scrolling down this far, but none of the above solutions fixed it for me, but making all my getter methods public did.
I'd left my getter visibility at package-private; Jackson decided it couldn't find them and blew up. (Using #JsonAutoDetect(getterVisibility=NON_PRIVATE) only partially fixed it.
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.jaxrs</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-jaxrs-base</artifactId>
<version>2.6.3</version>
</dependency>
I was having the same problem because I was missing the #EnableWebMvc annotation. (All of my spring configurations are annotation-based, the XML equivalent would be mvc:annotation-driven)
In the controller, shouldn't the response body annotation be on the return type and not the method, like so :
#RequestMapping(value="/getTemperature/{id}", headers="Accept=*/*", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public #ResponseBody Weather getTemparature(#PathVariable("id") Integer id){
Weather weather = weatherService.getCurrentWeather(id);
return weather;
}
I'd also use the raw jquery.ajax function, and make sure contentType and dataType are being set correctly.
On a different note, I find the spring handling of json rather problematic. It was easier when I did it all myself using strings, and GSON.
As #atott mentioned.
If you have added the latest version of Jackson in your pom.xml, and with Spring 4.0 or newer, using #ResponseBody on your action method and #RequestMapping configured with produces="application/json;charset=utf-8", however, you still got 406(Not Acceptable), I guess you need to try this in your MVC DispatcherServlet context configuration:
<mvc:annotation-driven content-negotiation-manager="contentNegotiationManager" />
<bean id="contentNegotiationManager" class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="favorPathExtension" value="false" />
</bean>
That's the way how I resolved my issue finally.
check this thread.
spring mvc restcontroller return json string
p/s: you should add jack son mapping config to your WebMvcConfig class
#Override
protected void configureMessageConverters(
List<HttpMessageConverter<?>> converters) {
// put the jackson converter to the front of the list so that application/json content-type strings will be treated as JSON
converters.add(new MappingJackson2HttpMessageConverter());
// and probably needs a string converter too for text/plain content-type strings to be properly handled
converters.add(new StringHttpMessageConverter());
}
Spring 4.3.10: I used the below settings to resolve the issue.
Step 1: Add the below dependencies
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core</artifactId>
<version>2.6.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.6.7</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-core-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.codehaus.jackson</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-mapper-asl</artifactId>
<version>1.9.13</version>
</dependency>
Step 2: Add the below in your MVC DispatcherServlet context configuration:
<mvc:annotation-driven content-negotiation-manager="contentNegotiationManager"/>
<bean id="contentNegotiationManager"
class="org.springframework.web.accept.ContentNegotiationManagerFactoryBean">
<property name="favorPathExtension" value="false"/>
<property name="favorParameter" value="true"/>
<property name="ignoreAcceptHeader" value="false" />
</bean>
Since spring 3.2, as per the default configuration favorPathExtension is set as true, because of this if the request uri have any proper extensions like .htm spring will give priority for the extension. In step 2 I had added the contentNegotiationManager bean to override this.
make sure your have correct jackson version in your classpath
Check as #joyfun did for the correct version of jackson but also check our headers ... Accept / may not be transmitted by the client ... use firebug or equivalent to check what your get request is actually sending. I think the headers attribute of the annotation /may/ be checking literals although I'm not 100% sure.
Other then the obvious problems I had another one that I couldn't fix regardless of including all possible JARs, dependancies and annotations in Spring servlet. Eventually I found that I have wrong file extension by that I mean I had two separate servlet running in same container and I needed to map to different file extensions where one was ".do" and the other as used for subscriptions was randomly named ".sub". All good but SUB is valid file extension normally used for films subtitle files and thus Tomcat was overriding the header and returning something like "text/x-dvd.sub..." so all was fine but the application was expecting JSON but getting Subtitles thus all I had to do is change the mapping in my web.xml file I've added:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>sub</extension>
<mime-type>application/json</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
I had the same problem unfortunately non of the solution here solved my problem as my problem was something in a different class.
I first checked that all dependencies are in place as suggested by #bekur
then I checked the request/response that travels from clients to the server all headers was in place an properly set by Jquery.
I then checked the RequestMappingHandlerAdapter MessageConverters and all 7 of them were in place, I really started to hate Spring ! I then updated to from Spring 4.0.6.RELEASE to 4.2.0.RELEASE I have got another response rather than the above. It was Request processing failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No converter found for return value of type
Here is my controller method
#RequestMapping(value = "/upload", method = RequestMethod.POST,produces = "application/json")
public ResponseEntity<UploadPictureResult> pictureUpload(FirewalledRequest initialRequest) {
DefaultMultipartHttpServletRequest request = (DefaultMultipartHttpServletRequest) initialRequest.getRequest();
try {
Iterator<String> iterator = request.getFileNames();
while (iterator.hasNext()) {
MultipartFile file = request.getFile(iterator.next());
session.save(toImage(file));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
return new ResponseEntity<UploadPictureResult>(new UploadPictureResult(),HttpStatus.INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR);
}
return new ResponseEntity<UploadPictureResult>(new UploadPictureResult(), HttpStatus.OK);
}
public class UploadPictureResult extends WebResponse{
private List<Image> images;
public void setImages(List<Image> images) {
this.images = images;
}
}
public class WebResponse implements Serializable {
protected String message;
public WebResponse() {
}
public WebResponse(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
public void setMessage(String message) {
this.message = message;
}
}
The solution was to make UploadPictureResult not to extend WebResponse
For some reason spring was not able to determine the how to convert UploadPictureReslt when it extended WebResponse
<dependency>
<groupId>com.fasterxml.jackson.core</groupId>
<artifactId>jackson-databind</artifactId>
<version>2.8.0</version>
</dependency>
i don't use ssl authentication and this jackson-databind contain jackson-core.jar and jackson-databind.jar, and then change the RequestMapping content like this:
#RequestMapping(value = "/id/{number}", produces = "application/json; charset=UTF-8", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public #ResponseBody Customer findCustomer(#PathVariable int number){
Customer result = customerService.findById(number);
return result;
}
attention:
if your produces is not "application/json" type and i had not noticed this and got an 406 error, help this can help you out.
This is update answer for springVersion=5.0.3.RELEASE.
Those above answers will be only worked older springVersion < 4.1 version. for latest spring you have to add following dependencies in gradle file:
compile group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core', name: 'jackson-core', version: fasterxmljackson
compile group: 'com.fasterxml.jackson.core', name: 'jackson-databind', version: fasterxmljackson
fasterxmljackson=2.9.4
I hope this will be helpful for who using latest spring version.
Simple answer just add Getter method in your domain/model class.
But Why this works ??
Under the hood Spring used HttpMessageConverters to convert your input JSON to Java Object. The Accept header that is passed in the request is used to select appropriate MessageConvertor at runtime. These message convertors use getter of your domain/model class for conversion, so if there are no getter method, Marshall and unmarshall Java Objects to and from JSON will not happen, even if you add Jackson in your classpath, because even Jackson lib uses Getter methods for marshalling stuffs !!.
Can you remove the headers element in #RequestMapping and try..
Like
#RequestMapping(value="/getTemperature/{id}", method = RequestMethod.GET)
I guess spring does an 'contains check' rather than exact match for accept headers. But still, worth a try to remove the headers element and check.

Apache CXF - WS addressing how to remove/delete ReplyTo from Headers

I'm trying to implement WS-Addressing with Apache CXF 2.7.18. I am able to set some headers like To, Action, etc.. but I want to remove/delete ReplyTo from SOAP request
<Action xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">http://...</Action>
<MessageID xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">urn:uuid:....</MessageID>
<To xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">https://....</To>
<ReplyTo xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
<Address>http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous</Address>
</ReplyTo>
Does anybody know how to do it?
I found a solution even if it's little bit dirty but it works for me. I've explicitly set it to "null" (using Cxf and JaxWsProxyFactoryBean).
EndpointReferenceType replyTo = new EndpointReferenceType();
AddressingProperties addrProperties = new AddressingProperties();
AttributedURIType replyToURI = new AttributedURIType();
EndpointReferenceType from = new EndpointReferenceType();
AttributedURIType fromURI = new AttributedURIType();
fromURI.setValue("ms-register");
from.setAddress(fromURI);
addrProperties.setFrom(from);
addrProperties.setFrom(from);
replyToURI.setValue(null);
replyTo.setAddress(replyToURI);
addrProperties.setReplyTo(replyTo);
client.getRequestContext().put(JAXWSAConstants.CLIENT_ADDRESSING_PROPERTIES,addrPropertie);

How to resolve "You have not started an Objectify context" in JUnit?

I've got some Objectify test code running in JUnit and I'm getting this error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: You have not started an Objectify context. You are probably missing the ObjectifyFilter. If you are not running in the context of an http request, see the ObjectifyService.run() method.
at com.googlecode.objectify.ObjectifyService.ofy(ObjectifyService.java:44)

at com.netbase.followerdownloader.repository.DownloadTaskRepositoryImplTest.setUp(DownloadTaskRepositoryImplTest.java:45)
How do I resolve this for test code?
Jeff Schnitzer answered this here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/objectify-appengine/8HinahG7irg. That link points to https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/objectify-appengine/O4FHC_i7EGk where Jeff suggests the following quick and dirty workaround:
My #BeforeMethod starts an objectify context (ObjectifyService.begin())
My #AfterMethod closes the objectify context
Jeff suggests we use ObjectifyService.run() instead but admits it's more work.
Here's how my implementation looks:
public class DownloadTaskRepositoryImplTest {
// maximum eventual consistency (see https://cloud.google.com/appengine/docs/java/tools/localunittesting)
private final LocalServiceTestHelper helper =
new LocalServiceTestHelper(new LocalDatastoreServiceTestConfig()
.setDefaultHighRepJobPolicyUnappliedJobPercentage(100));
private Closeable closeable;
#Before
public void setUp() {
helper.setUp();
ObjectifyRegistrar.registerDataModel();
closeable = ObjectifyService.begin();
}
#After
public void tearDown() {
closeable.close();
helper.tearDown();
}
I also had this issue and noticed that I had not added the ObjectifyFilter to my web.xml
<filter>
<filter-name>ObjectifyFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.googlecode.objectify.ObjectifyFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ObjectifyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
</filter-mapping>
I also had to include Objectify and guava jars in my WEB-INF>lib directory and include them in my build path.
I was facing the same error and this solusion worked for me
I have an app based on Endpoints that uses Objectify. When I leave it with the default/automatic scaling, everything works great. Once I enable basic scaling, though, I get the following exception when executing the endpoint method:
[INFO] java.lang.IllegalStateException: You have not started an Objectify context. You are probably missing the ObjectifyFilter. If you are not running in the context of an http request, see the ObjectifyService.run() method.
[INFO] at com.googlecode.objectify.ObjectifyService.ofy(ObjectifyService.java:44)
[INFO] at com.myco.myapp.dao.datastore.OfyService.ofy(OfyService.java:62)
The good news is that this goes away when you enable RequestDispatcher
support in the web.xml file like so. I think this is a documentation
issue, then, but I didn't know if everyone would agree if I edited the
Wiki page directly. Here is the proposed web.xml entry, which worked
for me:
<filter>
<filter-name>ObjectifyFilter</filter-name>
<filter-class>com.googlecode.objectify.ObjectifyFilter</filter-class>
</filter>
<filter-mapping>
<filter-name>ObjectifyFilter</filter-name>
<url-pattern>/*</url-pattern>
<dispatcher>REQUEST</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>INCLUDE</dispatcher>
<dispatcher>FORWARD</dispatcher>
</filter-mapping>
Improving michael-osofsky answer, I add this to my ofy helper class
public static void registerDataModel() {
try {
factory().register(Profile.class);
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
and remplace
ObjectifyRegistrar.registerDataModel();
for this
OfyService.registerDataModel();
OfyService.java
public static void registerDataModel() {
try {
factory().register(Profile.class);
} catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
As Jeff Schnitzer says in the link provided by Michael Osofsky:
In your tests you should have some notion of a 'request' even if it is just conceptual. If "each test is a request by itself", then you can use #Before/#After in conjunction with ObjectifyService.begin() to demarcate the requests. However, this is probably not actually how your tests work - it isn't how my tests work.
He then goes on to say:
This would be prettier with JDK8 closures but the idea is straightforward - you're wrapping some unit of work in a context which represents a request. It would probably be smart to add even more context like authentication in that wrapper too.
I came up with the following implementation of his idea. With the solution below, you can ensure each call to a servlet handler gets a fresh Objectify session while still making your servlet handler calls in a single line of code. It also decouples your tests from explicitly worrying about Objectify, and allows you to add additional non-Objectify context around your servlet handlers.
My solution below works with Objectify 5.1.22. I tried using Objectify 6+, but I had problems that seem to be related to this.
First, define a custom Supplier that is able to capture the exceptions thrown by a servlet handler.
#FunctionalInterface
public interface ServletSupplier<T> {
T get()
throws ServletException, IOException;
}
Next, define a wrapper method that accepts your new custom Supplier as an input, and wrap the call to ServletSupplier.get() in a try-with-resources block that calls ObjectifyService.begin(). You must also register your entity classes before calling ServletSupplier.get().
public <T> T runInServletContext(ServletSupplier<T> servletMethod)
throws ServletException, IOException {
try (Closeable session = ObjectifyService.begin()) {
ObjectifyService.register(MyObj.class);
return servletMethod.get();
}
}
Finally, anywhere in your tests that you call the servlet handler you should do so using the wrapper method.
MyObj myObjPost = runInServletContext(() -> getServlet().doPost(request, response));
// Assert results of doPost call.
MyObj myObjGet = runInServletContext(() -> getServlet().doGet(request, response));
// Assert results of doGet call.
Just in case someone ends up here (as I originally did) looking up the same problem but for the ktor "main.kt" server instead of unit tests...
After looking at the ObjectifyFilter source code, I added
val closer = ObjectifyService.begin()
... real service here ...
closer.close()
around my actual servlet code and that fixed the problem.

Map static field between nutch and solr

I use nutch 1.4 and I would like to map static field to Solr.
I know there is the index-static plugin. I configured it in nutch-site.xml like this :
<property>
<name>index-static</name>
<value>field:value</value>
</property>
However, the value is not sent to Solr.
Does anyone have a solution ?
It looks like the entry in nutch-default.xml is wrong.
According to the plugin source "index.static" instead of "index-static" is the right name for the property.
String fieldsString = conf.get("index.static", null);
After using that in my nutch-site.xml I was able to send multiple fields to my solr server.
Also make sure that the plugin is added to list of included plugins in the "plugin.includes" property.

Generate and download file with jboss seam

I need to add an 'export' function to an existing web app using seam. The purpose is to export search results to a csv file. I have no problem generating a csv, but I do not know how the send the csv back to the user.
I do not want to store the csv on the server because that would be waisted storage space. How could I achieve this in jboss seam?
Use the Document Store Servlet provided by Seam.
Almost copying and pasting from the reference doc, declare the servlet in web.xml like this:
<servlet>
<servlet-name>Document Store Servlet</servlet-name>
<servlet-class>org.jboss.seam.document.DocumentStoreServlet</servlet-class>
</servlet>
<servlet-mapping>
<servlet-name>Document Store Servlet</servlet-name>
<url-pattern>/seam/docstore/*</url-pattern>
</servlet-mapping>
Then create a export.xhtml file with only <s:resource> tag:
<s:resource xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
data="#{myComponent.csvData}"
contentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"
fileName="#{myComponent.csvFileName}"/>
Generate link for downloading the file in your page with <s:download>:
<s:download src="/csv/export.xhtml">
<h:outputText value="Download CSV"/>
<f:param name="param1" value="somevalue"/>
<f:param name="param2" value="someOtherValue"/>
</s:download>
Finally, implement getCsvData() and getCsvFileName() methods in your component:
// could be byte[], File or InputStream
public InputStream getCsvData() {
// generate data to be downloaded
}
public String getCsvFileName() {
return "myfile.csv";
}
Note that <s:download> propagates conversation (unless you set propagation=none). If you propagate the conversation context probably you won't need to pass any parameter. For large data set it may be preferable to not propagate the conversation and pass parameter to select the data in a request scoped component.
There's a couple of ways:
1) Check the Seam docs for info on using Seam-Excel to programmatically generate your file and then write it out using a mime-type set for CSV - this is all detailed in the docs.
However, I could not get this to work in the latest version of Seam, as it requires a response object, which used to be available from the Seam context but now only returns null.
2) Code the CSV file you want as an Excel xhtml template (see the Seam docs and example projects) and simply render this as normal using an tag.
I do this regularly and it works well, bar the restriction that you cannot supply a filename.
HTH.
