Spring MVC - log every incoming http request call with payload into database - spring-mvc

experts, I would log every incoming http request call with payload into database.
I checked there would be 2 approaches.
use filter or interceptor.
I feel filter is so easier for me to implement.
what would be best approach for my purpose?
please kindly advise.
thank you very much!

if you have a need to do something completely generic (e.g. log all requests), then a filter is sufficient - but if the behavior depends on the target handler or you want to do something between the request handling and view rendering, then the HandlerInterceptor provides that flexibility.
But anyway, just do the way which make you feel easily and simply.
Note:
Interceptor work in spring application context
Servlet work in web context

Use Spring AOP. Use any advice according to your needs.
#Aspect
#Component
public class Test {
#Around("#annotation(mapping) ")
public Object preAuthUserPersmission(ProceedingJoinPoint joinPoint, RequestMapping mapping) throws Throwable {
Object[] parameters = joinPoint.getArgs();
// Your actions on the input parameters
return joinPoint.proceed(joinPoint.getArgs());
}
}

Validation, exception handling, security etc. when using Spring Reactive WebFlux

I was evaluating Spring Reactive WebFlux for a new project, and it looks quite interesting. But I'm unsure on how best to handle validation, security etc. For example, I'm used to having #Valid annotation in controllers for validating parameters, like this:
#PostMapping(value = "/users")
public User signup(#RequestBody #Valid UserCommand user) {
...
}
But now, when I now use a Mono<UserCommand> as the parameter, #Valid no more seems to work. Similarly, I guess other annotations like #JsonView, service method validation using #Validated, Spring Security annotations that refer to parameters (like #PreAuthorize("hasPermission(#user, 'edit')")) may not work with Mono<T> either. Do they?
Secondly, what about the #ControllerAdvices for catching exceptions? Would they work? What would be the best way to handle errors if they won't?

How to access "session" scoped beans in a Spring WebSocket handler (not "websocket" scope)

In a raw Spring WebSocket application (not using sockjs/STOMP or any other middleware), how can I have Spring inject beans that have been registered in the HTTP session scope so that they can be used by code in my WebSocketHandler bean?
Note that what I am not asking is any of these questions:
How do I create beans in a scope that is accessible to all handler invocations for the same WebSocket session (e.g. as described in the answer to Request or Session scope in Spring Websocket). The beans I need to access already exist in the scope for the HTTP session
How do I (programatically) access objects in the servlet container's HTTP session storage (I haven't tried to do this, but I'm pretty sure the answer involves using an HttpSessionHandshakeInterceptor), but that doesn't get me injection of Spring scoped dependencies.
How to use a ScopedProxy to pass beans between code in different scopes (e.g. as described here); I'm already familiar with how to do this, but attempting to do so for a WebSocketHandler causes an error because the session scope hasn't been bound to the thread at the point the object is accessed.
How to access the current security principal -- again, very useful, but not what I'm currently trying to achieve.
What I'm hoping to do is provide a simple framework that allows for the traditional HTTP-request initiated parts of an MVC application to communicate directly with a WebSocket protocol (for sending simple push updates to the client). What I want to be able to do is push data into a session scoped object from the MVC controller and pull it out in the websocket handler. I would like the simplest possible API for this from the MVC controller's perspective, which if it is possible to just use a session-scoped bean for this would be ideal. If you have any other ideas about very simple ways of sharing this data, I'd also like to hear those in case this approach isn't possible.
You can also use Java API for websocket. This link https://spring.io/blog/2013/05/23/spring-framework-4-0-m1-websocket-support
explains how to do this with Spring.
Ufortunately, something like this
#ServerEndpoint(value = "/sample", configurator = SpringConfigurator.class)
public class SampleEndpoint {
private SessionScopedBean sessionScopedBean;
#Autowired
public SampleEndpoint(SessionScopedBean sessionScopedBean) {
this.sessionScopedBean = sessionScopedBean;
}
}
causes exception (because we're trying to access bean outside its scope), but for singleton and prototype beans it works well.
To work with session attributes you can modify the hanshake and pass required attributes:
public class CustomWebSocketConfigurator extends SpringConfigurator {
#Override
public void modifyHandshake(ServerEndpointConfig config,
HandshakeRequest request,
HandshakeResponse response) {
//put attributes from http session to websocket session
HttpSession httpSession = (HttpSession) request.getHttpSession();
config.getUserProperties().put("some_attribute",
httpSession.getAttribute("some_attribute_in_http_session"));
}
}
P. S. More a comment than an answer. I just wanted to add another way of handling session attributes in websocket to your question-answer. I have been searching the web for exactly the same issue and the way showed above seems to me the most systematic approach to handling the session data in websocket.

How to Set Request Headers Using a Feign Client?

We are developing a suite of Microservices using Spring Cloud framework and one of the the things that we need to do is to set request headers. I know I can pass a parameter #RequestHeader to a Feign method but the value needs to come from another bean. I don't know if SPEL can be used for a Feign param value.
I was thinking that this is a common enough use case for most clients so there'd be some examples, but so far I've not found any. Of course I can dig through the Spring course code and try to override the default Feign configuration but it kinda defeats the purpose of a declarative client if I've to write a lot of code to achieve this.
Any thoughts?
I have done this before using a RequestInterceptor as follows:
#Component
public class MyRequestInterceptor implements RequestInterceptor {
#Override
public void apply(RequestTemplate template) {
template.headers(getHeadersFromWherever());
}
}

How to track the HTTP request and response time in jetty

I am trying to track the HTTP request and response time in Jetty. I have extended the jetty server and i am able to get the request timestamp using following snippet :
public void handle(HttpChannel connection) throws IOException,
ServletException {
super.handle(connection);
connection.getRequest().getTimeStamp();
}
I need to get the exact time of the response for the request.
How can i achieve it by extending jetty server ?
If any way of doing other than extending jetty. please let me know
Thank you
Since you seem to only be interested in the latency, do this.
The RequestLog mechanism is now to do this.
Instantiate a new RequestLogHandler and add it as the root of your server Handler tree (think nested, not collection).
Add a custom implementation of RequestLog to the RequestLogHandler
In your custom RequestLog.log(Request,Response) method, grab the Request.getTimeStamp() and work out the latency.
This approach is more durable to changes internally in Jetty, and does not require a fork Jetty + modify approach to work.

How can I intercept all calls to methods in a WCF .svc service?

Ive got a WCF service which has multiple web methods in it. I want to be able to intercept the request on all methods and look at the Ip address. Id rather not put the logic into a method call at the top of each called web method is there a way to intercept all calls to these methods from one place?
If it was a page I would write a base page object but im nout sure if there are events raised on a wcf call?
WCF allows you to implement interceptors that are added to the stack. See this link for an example. I´m not sure whether this allows you the extract the senders IP but I think it´s worth a try.
You can implement IDispatchMessageInspector and do something like this.
public object AfterReceiveRequest(ref Message request,
IClientChannel channel, InstanceContext instanceContext)
{
RemoteEndpointMessageProperty remoteEndpoint = request.Properties
[RemoteEndpointMessageProperty.Name] as RemoteEndpointMessageProperty;
//remoteEndpoint.Address will give you the address.
return null;
}
You can use Custom Behaviors, they are part of WCF Extensibility features. Here's more information: Extending WCF with Custom Behaviors
There's a clever way to do this with the ServiceAuthorizationManager, and it's far easier than all the seriously hard work of the IDispatchMessageInspector.
Create a class in your WCF Service project like so:
public class MyServiceAuthorizationManager : ServiceAuthorizationManager
{
protected override bool CheckAccessCore(OperationContext operationContext)
{
string classMethod = operationContext.RequestContext.RequestMessage.Headers.Action;
if (classMethod.Contains("/transfer/Get"))
{
return true; // because someone is simply updating a client service reference
}
Console.WriteLine("Class Method Call: {0}",classMethod);
// do something with operationContext here as you need to inspect stuff
// return true if you want this class method call to succeed and go through
// return false if you want this class method to fail on the client
return true;
}
}
Then, in your service, right before your host.Open() call, add the link to MyServiceAuthorizationManager.
ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(MyProject.Service1));
host.Authorization.ServiceAuthorizationManager = new MyServiceAuthorizationManager();
host.Open();
Now when you test your client connections, you'll notice that the console outputs what class method was called. You can also work against all the stuff in the operationContext object.
One way I use this is for a security header check. In my client, I add a header. Then, in the service, in this CheckAccessCore() call, I verify that this custom header exists. If it doesn't, then I return false. This is one more layer of protection that keeps the hackers out, and is great for the limited security in Named Pipes configurations too. If you're wanting to also do that, then click here for more information on how to add custom headers that automatically get sent on every client's method call on the service.
And note, among all this, I didn't have to mess with behaviors, claims, listeners, or message dispatches. I also didn't need to edit my WCF Configuration.
Note the string check for /transfer/Get above. This is important if you're doing header checks as a security mechanism like I was. If you don't have that condition and return true, then your WCF client IDE can't update its ServiceReference because the IDE doesn't know about that extra header (if you're adding a custom header and not specifying that header in the WCF client's app.config). Otherwise, you'll get an error The URI prefix is not recognized.
